Genesis 23
1 Now the years of Sarah's life were a hundred and twenty-seven.
Sara je bila stara sto sedemindvajset let. To so bila leta Sarinega življenja.
2 And Sarah's death took place in Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan: and Abraham went into his house, weeping and sorrowing for Sarah.
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 And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth,
Abraham je vstal pred svojo mrtvo in Hetovim sinovom spregovoril, rekoč:
4 I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest.
»Tujec sem in začasen prebivalec z vami. Dajte mi posest grobišča z vami, da lahko pokopljem svojo mrtvo izpred svojega obličja.«
5 And in answer the children of Heth said to Abraham,
Hetovi otroci so Abrahamu odgovorili, rekoč mu:
6 My lord, truly you are a great chief among us; take the best of our resting-places for your dead; not one of us will keep back from you a place where you may put your dead to rest.
»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 And Abraham got up and gave honour to the children of Heth, the people of that land.
Abraham je vstal in se priklonil ljudstvu dežele, torej Hetovim otrokom.
8 And he said to them, If you will let me put my dead to rest here, make a request for me to Ephron, the son of Zohar,
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 That he will give me the hollow in the rock named Machpelah, which is his property at the end of his field; let him give it to me for its full price as a resting-place for my dead among you.
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 seated among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite gave Abraham his answer in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those who came into his town, saying,
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, I will give you the field with the hollow in the rock; before all the children of my people will I give it to you for a resting-place for 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 And Abraham went down on his face before the people of the land.
Abraham se je priklonil pred ljudstvom dežele.
13 And Abraham said to Ephron, in the hearing of the people of the land, If only you will give ear to me, I will give you the price of the field; take it, and let me put my dead to rest 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 So Ephron said to Abraham,
Efrón je odgovoril Abrahamu, rekoč mu:
15 My lord, give ear to me: the value of the land is four hundred shekels; what is that between me and you? so put your dead to rest there.
»Moj gospod, prisluhni mi. Zemlja je vredna štiristo šeklov srebra. Kaj je to med menoj in teboj? Pokoplji torej svojo mrtvo.«
16 And Abraham took note of the price fixed by Ephron in the hearing of the children of Heth, and gave him four hundred shekels in current money.
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, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it,
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 Became the property of Abraham before the eyes of the children of Heth and of all who came into the town.
za posest Abrahamu v prisotnosti Hetovih otrok, pred vsemi, ki so vstopali pri velikih vratih njegovega mesta.
19 Then Abraham put Sarah his wife to rest in the hollow rock in the field of 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 And the field and the hollow rock were handed over to Abraham as his property by the children of Heth.
Polje in votlina, ki je tam, sta bila zagotovo potrjena Abrahamu v posest za grobišče od Hetovih sinov.
