Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.
Alò, Sarah te viv pandan san-ven-sèt ane. Men sa yo ki te lane a Sarah.
2 And Sarah died in Kiriatharba — the same is Hebron — in the land of Canaan; and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to 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 Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke unto 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 a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.'
“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 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him:
Fis a Heth yo te reponn Abraham. Yo te di l:
6 'Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us; in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.'
“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 And Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
Abraham te leve e te bese devan moun yo nan peyi a, fis a Heth yo.
8 And he spoke 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,
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 cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in the midst of 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 was sitting in the midst of the children of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his 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 'Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee; 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 And Abraham bowed down before the people of the land.
Konsa, Abraham te bese devan pèp peyi a.
13 And he spoke unto Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying: 'But if thou wilt, I pray thee, hear me: I will give the price of the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.'
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 Abraham, saying unto him:
Konsa, Ephron te reponn Abraham e te di li:
15 'My lord, hearken unto me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore 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 Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
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 So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the border thereof round about, were made sure
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 unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before 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 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.
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, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a burying-place 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.
