Genesis 23
1 Now Sarah lived to be 127 years old.
Sara je bila stara sto sedemindvajset let. To so bila leta Sarinega življenja.
2 She died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went out to mourn and to weep for her.
Sara je umrla v Kirját Arbi; ista je Hebrón v kánaanski deželi. Abraham je prišel, da žaluje za Saro in da joka za njo.
3 Then Abraham got up from beside his dead wife and said to the Hittites,
Abraham je vstal pred svojo mrtvo in Hetovim sinovom spregovoril, rekoč:
4 “I am a foreigner and an outsider among you. Give me a burial site among you so that I can bury my dead.”
»Tujec sem in začasen prebivalec z vami. Dajte mi posest grobišča z vami, da lahko pokopljem svojo mrtvo izpred svojega obličja.«
5 The Hittites replied to Abraham,
Hetovi otroci so Abrahamu odgovorili, rekoč mu:
6 “Listen to us, sir. You are God’s chosen one among us. Bury your dead in the finest of our tombs. None of us will withhold his tomb for burying your dead.”
»Poslušaj nas, moj gospod. Ti si med nami mogočen princ. V izbiri naših mavzolejev pokoplji svojo mrtvo. Nobeden izmed nas ne bo pred teboj zadržal svojega mavzoleja, pač pa da lahko pokoplješ svojo mrtvo.«
7 Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites.
Abraham je vstal in se priklonil ljudstvu dežele, torej Hetovim otrokom.
8 “If you are willing for me to bury my dead,” he said to them, “listen to me, and approach Ephron son of Zohar on my behalf
Posvetoval se je z njimi, rekoč: »Če je vaše mišljenje, da naj pokopljem svojo mrtvo izpred svojih oči, me poslušajte in zame prosite Coharjevega sina Efróna,
9 to sell me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him; it is at the end of his field. Let him sell it to me in your presence for full price, so that I may have a burial site.”
da bi mi lahko dal votlino Mahpélo, ki jo ima, ki je na koncu njegovega polja, kajti za kolikor denarja je vredna, naj mi jo da v posest za grobišče med vami.«
10 Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth. So in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city, Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham,
Efrón pa je prebival med Hetovimi otroki. In Efrón Hetejec je odgovoril Abrahamu v občinstvu Hetovih otrok, torej vseh teh, ki so vstopali pri velikih vratih njegovega mesta, rekoč:
11 “No, my lord. Listen to me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. I give it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.”
»Ne, moj gospod, poslušaj me. Polje ti dam in votlino, ki je tam, to ti dam. V prisotnosti sinov svojega ljudstva ti to dam. Pokoplji svojo mrtvo.«
12 Again Abraham bowed down before the people of the land
Abraham se je priklonil pred ljudstvom dežele.
13 and said to Ephron in their presence, “If you will please listen to me, I will pay you the price of the field. Accept it from me, so that I may bury my dead there.”
Spregovoril je Efrónu, v občinstvu ljudstva dežele, rekoč: »Če to hočeš dati, prosim te, poslušaj me. Za to polje ti bom dal denar. Vzemi ga od mene, jaz pa bom svojo mrtvo pokopal tam.«
14 Ephron answered Abraham,
Efrón je odgovoril Abrahamu, rekoč mu:
15 “Listen to me, my lord. The land is worth four hundred shekels of silver, but what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”
»Moj gospod, prisluhni mi. Zemlja je vredna štiristo šeklov srebra. Kaj je to med menoj in teboj? Pokoplji torej svojo mrtvo.«
16 Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms and weighed out for him the price he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver, according to the standard of the merchants.
Abraham je prisluhnil Efrónu in Abraham je Efrónu odtehtal srebro, ki ga je omenil v občinstvu Hetovih sinov, štiristo šeklov srebra, trenuten denar pri trgovcu.
17 So Ephron’s field at Machpelah near Mamre, the cave that was in it, and all the trees within the boundaries of the field were deeded over
In Efrónovo polje, ki je bilo v Mahpéli, ki je bilo pred Mamrejem, polje in votlina, ki sta bila tam in vsa drevesa, ki so bila na polju, ki so bila na vseh mejah naokoli, so bila zagotovo potrjena
18 to Abraham’s possession in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city.
za posest Abrahamu v prisotnosti Hetovih otrok, pred vsemi, ki so vstopali pri velikih vratih njegovega mesta.
19 After this, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field at Machpelah near Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
In po tem je Abraham pokopal svojo ženo Saro v votlini polja Mahpéli pred Mamrejem, isti je Hebrón v kánaanski deželi.
20 So the field and its cave were deeded by the Hittites to Abraham as a burial site.
Polje in votlina, ki je tam, sta bila zagotovo potrjena Abrahamu v posest za grobišče od Hetovih sinov.
