Genesis 23
1 And Sara lived a hundred and twenty-seven years.
Alò, Sarah te viv pandan san-ven-sèt ane. Men sa yo ki te lane a Sarah.
2 And she died in the city of Arbee which is Hebron, in the land of Chanaan: and Abraham came to mourn and weep for her.
Sarah te mouri nan Kirjath-Arba (sa vle di Hébron) nan peyi Canaan an. Abraham te vini pou fè dèy pou li, e kriye pou li.
3 And after he rose up from the funeral obsequies, he spoke to the children of Heth, saying:
Konsa, Abraham te leve kite mò li a. Li te pale a fis a Heth yo. Li te di:
4 I am a stranger and sojourner among you: give me the right of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead.
“Mwen menm se yon etranje k ap demere pami nou. Ban mwen yon kote pou antèman pami nou pou m kapab antere mò a kote mwen p ap wè li.”
5 The children of Heth answered, saying:
Fis a Heth yo te reponn Abraham. Yo te di l:
6 My Lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principal sepulchres: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulchre.
“Koute nou, mèt mwen, ou menm, se yon prens Bondye pami nou. Antere mò ou a nan pi bon chwa ou nan tonm pa nou yo. Nanpwen pèsòn ki va refize ou yon plas antèman pou mò ou a.”
7 Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit the children of Heth:
Abraham te leve e te bese devan moun yo nan peyi a, fis a Heth yo.
8 And said to them: If it please your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede for me to Ephron the son of Seor.
Li te pale avèk yo, e te di: “Si se volonte ou pou m antere mò mwen an kote mwen p ap wè l, koute mwen, e pale ak Ephron fis Tsochar a pou mwen,
9 That he may give me the double cave, which he hath in the end of his field: for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me before you, for a possession of a burying place.
ke li kapab ban mwen kav Macpéla ki pou li a, ki nan pwent chan li an. Pou tout pri ke li fò, ke li ban mwen li devan nou kòm yon lye antèman an.”
10 Now Ephron dwelt in the midst of the children of Heth. And Ephron made answer to Abraham in the hearing of all that went in at the gate of the city, saying:
Alò, Ephron te chita pami fis a Heth yo. Ephron, Ethyen an, te reponn Abraham nan prezans fis a Heth yo, menm tout moun yo ki t ap antre nan pòtay vil la. Li te di:
11 Let it not be so, my lord, but do thou rather hearken to what I say: The field I deliver to thee, and the cave that is therein, in the presence of the children of my people, bury thy dead.
“Non, mèt mwen, koute mwen; mwen ba ou chan an, e mwen ba ou kav ki ladann nan. Nan prezans a tout fis a pèp mwen yo, mwen ba ou li pou ou fè antèman mò ou a.”
12 Abraham bowed down before the people of the land,
Konsa, Abraham te bese devan pèp peyi a.
13 And he spoke to Ephron, in the presence of the people: I beseech thee to hear me: I will give money for the field: take it, and so I will bury my dead in it.
Li te pale a Ephron nan prezans tout pèp peyi a, e te di: “Silvouplè, si ou va sèlman koute mwen, mwen va bay pri a chan an. Aksepte li nan men m pou m kapab antere mò mwen an.”
14 And Ephron answered:
Konsa, Ephron te reponn Abraham e te di li:
15 My lord, hear me. The ground which thou desirest, is worth four hundred sicles of silver: this is the price between me and thee: but what is this? bury thy dead.
“Mèt mwen, koute mwen. Yon mòso tè ki vo kat-san pyès lajan, kisa sa ye antre mwen avèk ou? Alò, antere mò ou a.”
16 And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had asked, in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred sicles of silver of common current money.
Abraham te koute Ephron. Konsa, Abraham te peze pou Ephron lajan ke li te nonmen nan prezans tout fis a Heth yo, kat-san pyès lajan, nan sistèm komès nòmal.
17 And the field that before was Ephron’s, wherein was the double cave, looking towards Mambre, both it and the cave, and all the trees thereof in all its limits round about,
Pou sa a, chan Ephron ki te nan Macpéla a, ki te pozisyone vè Mamre a, chan an avèk kav ki te ladann nan, tout bwa ki te nan chan an, ki te anndan limit li yo, te sede
18 Was made sure to Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth, and of all that went in at the gate of his city.
a Abraham kòm posesyon nan prezans fis a Heth yo, devan tout moun ki te antre nan pòtay vil li a.
19 And so Abraham buried Sara his wife, in a double cave of the field, that looked towards Mambre, this is Hebron in the land of Chanaan.
Apre sa, Abraham te antere Sarah, madanm li nan kav la nan chan Macpéla ki anfas Mamre a, (sa vle di Hébron)
20 And the field was made sure to Abraham, and the cave that was in it, for a possession to bury in, by the children of Heth.
Konsa, fis a Etyen yo te bay papye tè a enkli ak kav la; yo te transfere li a Abraham pou yon landwa antèman.
