Genesis 23
1 And they were [the] life of Sarah one hundred year[s] and twenty year[s] and seven years [the] years of [the] life of Sarah.
Sara levede 127 Aar, saa mange var Saras Leveaar.
2 And she died Sarah at Kiriath Arba that [is] Hebron in [the] land of Canaan and he went Abraham to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
Sara døde i Kirjat-Arba, det er Hebron, i Kana'ans Land. Saa gik Abraham hen og holdt Klage over Sara og begræd hende.
3 And he arose Abraham from on [the] face of dead his and he spoke to [the] people of Heth saying.
Og da han havde rejst sig fra sin døde, talte han saaledes til Hetiterne:
4 [am] a sojourner And a resident alien I with you give to me a possession of a burial site with you so let me bury dead my from to before me.
»Jeg er Gæst og fremmed hos eder; men giv mig et Gravsted hos eder, saa jeg kan jorde min døde og bringe hende bort fra mit Ansigt!«
5 And they answered [the] people of Heth Abraham saying to him.
Da svarede Hetiterne Abraham:
6 Listen to us - O lord my [are] a prince of God you in midst of us in [the] choicest of burial sites our bury dead your anyone of us burial site his not he will withhold from you from burying dead your.
»Hør os, Herre! En Guds Fyrste er du jo iblandt os; jord du din døde i en af vore bedste Grave! Ikke en af os vil nægte dig sin Grav og hindre dig i at jorde din døde.«
7 And he arose Abraham and he bowed down to [the] people of the land to [the] people of Heth.
Men Abraham stod op og bøjede sig for Hetiterne, Folkene der paa Stedet,
8 And he spoke with them saying if there with desire your to bury dead my from to before me listen to me and entreat for me Ephron [the] son of Zohar.
og sagde til dem: »Hvis I samtykker i, at jeg jorder min døde og bringer hende bort fra mit Ansigt, saa føj mig i at lægge et godt Ord ind for mig hos Efron, Zohars Søn,
9 So may he give to me [the] cave of Machpelah which [belongs] to him which [is] at [the] end of field his for silver full let him give it to me in midst of you to a possession of a burial site.
saa han giver mig sin Klippehule i Makpela ved Udkanten af sin Mark; for fuld Betaling skal han i eders Nærværelse give mig den til Gravsted!«
10 And Ephron [was] sitting in among [the] people of Heth and he answered Ephron the Hethite Abraham in [the] ears of [the] people of Heth to all [those who were] entering [the] gate of city his saying.
Men Efron sad blandt Hetiterne; og Hetiten Efron svarede Abraham i Hetiternes Paahør, saa mange som gik ind gennem hans Bys Port:
11 No O lord my listen to me the field I give to you and the cave which [is] in it to you I give it to [the] eyes of [the] sons of people my I give it to you bury dead your.
»Gid min Herre vilde høre mig! Marken giver jeg dig, og Hulen derpaa giver jeg dig; i mit Folks Nærværelse giver jeg dig den; jord du kun din døde!«
12 And he bowed down Abraham before [the] people of the land.
Da bøjede Abraham sig for Folkene der paa Stedet
13 And he spoke to Ephron in [the] ears of [the] people of the land saying nevertheless if you if listen to me I give [the] money of the field take [it] from me so let me bury dead my there.
og sagde til Efron i deres Paahør: »Om du blot — gid du dog vilde høre mig! Jeg giver dig, hvad Marken er værd; modtag det dog af mig, saa jeg kan jorde min døde der.«
14 And he answered Ephron Abraham saying to him.
Da sagde Efron til Abraham:
15 O lord my listen to me land of four hundred shekel[s] of silver between me and between you what? [is] it and dead your bury.
»Gid min Herre vilde høre mig! Et Stykke Land til 400 Sekel Sølv, hvad har det at sige mellem mig og dig? Jord du kun din døde!«
16 And he listened Abraham to Ephron and he weighed out Abraham for Ephron the money which he had spoken in [the] ears of [the] people of Heth four hundred shekel[s] of silver passing along to the trader.
Og Abraham forstod Efron og tilvejede ham den Sum, han havde nævnet i Hetiternes Paahør, 400 Sekel Sølv i gangbar Mønt.
17 And it was confirmed - [the] field of Ephron which [was] in Machpelah which [was] before Mamre the field and the cave which [was] in it and every tree which [was] in the field which [was] in all border its round about.
Saaledes gik Efrons Mark i Makpela over for Mamre i hele sin Udstrækning tillige med Klippehulen og alle Træerne paa Marken
18 To Abraham to a possession to [the] eyes of [the] people of Heth for all [those who were] entering [the] gate of city his.
over i Abrahams Eje i Hetiternes Nærværelse, saa mange som gik ind gennem hans Bys Port.
19 And after thus he buried Abraham Sarah wife his into [the] cave of [the] field of Machpelah on [the] face of Mamre that [is] Hebron in [the] land of Canaan.
Derefter jordede Abraham sin Hustru Sara i Klippehulen paa Makpelas Mark over for Mamre, det er Hebron, i Kana'ans Land.
20 And it was confirmed the field and the cave which [was] in it to Abraham to a possession of a burial site from with [the] people of Heth.
Og Marken med Klippehulen derpaa gik fra Hetiterne over til Abraham som Gravsted.
