Postanak 23
1 Duljina Sarina života bila je stotinu dvadeset i sedam godina.
And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years. These were the years of the life of Sarah.
2 Sara umrije u Kirjat Arbi, to jest u Hebronu, u zemlji kanaanskoj; i Abraham uđe u žalost za Sarom i naricaše za njom.
And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 Potom se Abraham digne ispred svoje pokojnice te prozbori sinovima Hetovim:
And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
4 “Premda sam ja među vama doseljeni stranac, prodajte mi zemljište za grob među vama, tako da mogu iznijeti svoju pokojnicu i sahraniti je.”
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you. Give me a possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
5 A sinovi Hetovi odgovore Abrahamu:
And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6 “Gospodine, saslušaj nas! Ti si izabranik Božji u našoj sredini. Pokopaj svoju pokojnicu u našem najbiranijem grobu. Nitko ti od nas neće odbiti svoga groba da mogneš sahraniti svoju pokojnicu.”
Hear us, my lord. Thou are a prince of God among us. Bury thy dead in our choice sepulchers. None of us shall withhold from thee his sepulcher, but that thou may bury thy dead.
7 Nato se Abraham diže pa se mještanima, sinovima Hetovim, duboko pokloni
And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the sons of Heth.
8 te im reče: “Ako se slažete da svoju pokojnicu uklonim i sahranim, čujte me: zauzmite se za me kod Efrona, sina Soharova,
And he conversed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
9 da mi proda spilju Makpelu što njemu pripada a nalazi se na kraju njegova posjeda; neka mi je za punu cijenu, u vašoj nazočnosti, proda u vlasništvo za sahranjivanje.”
that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. Let him give it to me for the full price in the midst of you for a possession of a burying place.
10 A Efron je sjedio sa sinovima Hetovim. Potom Efron, Hetit, odgovori Abrahamu da ga čuju sinovi Hetovi svojim ušima - svi koji su sjedili u vijeću onoga grada:
Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the sons of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
11 “Ne, moj gospodine! Saslušaj mene! Ja tebi dajem poljanu i spilju što je na njoj; darujem ti to pred sinovima svoga naroda. Sahrani svoju pokojnicu.”
No, my lord, hear me. I give thee the field. And the cave that is in it, I give it to thee. I give it to thee in the presence of the sons of my people. Bury thy dead.
12 Abraham se duboko nakloni mještanima,
And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 a onda progovori Efronu da mještani čuju na svoje uši: “Ded me samo poslušaj! Dajem ti cijenu za poljanu; primi je od mene da ondje mogu sahraniti svoju pokojnicu!”
And he spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou will, I pray thee, hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Efron odgovori Abrahamu:
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 “Čuj me, moj gospodine: zemljište u vrijednosti od četiri stotine srebrnika, što je to tebi i meni! Sahrani, dakle, svoju pokojnicu!”
My lord, hearken to me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and thee? Therefore bury thy dead.
16 Abraham se složi s Efronom; isplati Abraham Efronu novac što ga je spomenuo tako da su na svoje uši čuli sinovi Hetovi - četiri stotine srebrnika trgovačke mjere.
And Abraham hearkened to Ephron. And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver that he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
17 I tako Efronova poljana u Makpeli nasuprot Mamri - poljana, spilja i sva stabla što su bila na poljani -
So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the border of it round about, were made sure
18 prijeđe u vlasništvo Abrahamovo u nazočnosti sinova Hetovih, sviju koji su sjedili u vijeću svoga grada.
to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
19 A onda Abraham sahrani svoju ženu Saru u spilji na poljani Makpeli nasuprot Mamri - danas Hebronu - u zemlji kanaanskoj.
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
20 Tako je poljana i spilja na njoj prešla od sinova Hetovih u vlasništvo Abrahamovo za sahranjivanje.
And the field, and the cave that is in it, were made sure to Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth.
