Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah is one hundred and twenty-seven years—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 dies in Kirjath-Arba, which [is] Hebron, in the land of Canaan, and Abraham goes to mourn for Sarah, and to lament 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 rises up from the presence of his dead, and speaks to the sons of Heth, saying,
Konsa, Abraham te leve kite mò li a. Li te pale a fis a Heth yo. Li te di:
4 “A sojourner and a settler I [am] with you; give to me a possession of a burying-place with you, and I bury my dead from before me.”
“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 sons of Heth answer Abraham, saying to him,
Fis a Heth yo te reponn Abraham. Yo te di l:
6 “Hear us, my lord; a prince of God [are] you in our midst; in the choice of our burying-places bury your dead: none of our burying-places do we withhold from you, from burying your 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 rises and bows himself to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
Abraham te leve e te bese devan moun yo nan peyi a, fis a Heth yo.
8 and he speaks with them, saying, “If it is your desire to bury my dead from before me, hear me, and meet for me with Ephron, son of Zoar;
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 and he gives to me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which [is] in the extremity of his field; for full money does he give it to me, in your midst, 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 And Ephron is sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth, and Ephron the Hittite answers Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, of all those entering 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 “No, my lord, hear me: the field I have given to you, and the cave that [is] in it, to you I have given it; before the eyes of the sons of my people I have given it to you—bury your 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 bows himself before the people of the land,
Konsa, Abraham te bese devan pèp peyi a.
13 and speaks to Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, “Only—if you would hear me—I have given the money of the field—accept from me, and I 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 answers Abraham, saying to him,
Konsa, Ephron te reponn Abraham e te di li:
15 “My lord, hear me: the land—four hundred shekels of silver; between me and you, what [is] it? Bury your 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 listens to Ephron, and Abraham weighs to Ephron the silver which he has spoken of in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred silver shekels, passing 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 And established are the field of Ephron, which [is] in Machpelah, which [is] before Mamre, the field and the cave which [is] in it, and all the trees which [are] in the field, which [are] around all its border,
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 to Abraham by purchase, before the eyes of the sons of Heth, among all entering 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 has buried his wife Sarah at the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (which [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 established are the field, and the cave which [is] in it, to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place, from the sons 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.
