Genesis 23
1 Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
Duljina Sarina života bila je stotinu dvadeset i sedam godina.
2 Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Sara umrije u Kirjat Arbi, to jest u Hebronu, u zemlji kanaanskoj; i Abraham uđe u žalost za Sarom i naricaše za njom.
3 Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
Potom se Abraham digne ispred svoje pokojnice te prozbori sinovima Hetovim:
4 “I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
“Premda sam ja među vama doseljeni stranac, prodajte mi zemljište za grob među vama, tako da mogu iznijeti svoju pokojnicu i sahraniti je.”
5 The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
A sinovi Hetovi odgovore Abrahamu:
6 “Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God amongst us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
“Gospodine, saslušaj nas! Ti si izabranik Božji u našoj sredini. Pokopaj svoju pokojnicu u našem najbiranijem grobu. Nitko ti od nas neće odbiti svoga groba da mogneš sahraniti svoju pokojnicu.”
7 Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
Nato se Abraham diže pa se mještanima, sinovima Hetovim, duboko pokloni
8 He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
te im reče: “Ako se slažete da svoju pokojnicu uklonim i sahranim, čujte me: zauzmite se za me kod Efrona, sina Soharova,
9 that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me amongst you as a possession for a burial place.”
da mi proda spilju Makpelu što njemu pripada a nalazi se na kraju njegova posjeda; neka mi je za punu cijenu, u vašoj nazočnosti, proda u vlasništvo za sahranjivanje.”
10 Now Ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
A Efron je sjedio sa sinovima Hetovim. Potom Efron, Hetit, odgovori Abrahamu da ga čuju sinovi Hetovi svojim ušima - svi koji su sjedili u vijeću onoga grada:
11 “No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
“Ne, moj gospodine! Saslušaj mene! Ja tebi dajem poljanu i spilju što je na njoj; darujem ti to pred sinovima svoga naroda. Sahrani svoju pokojnicu.”
12 Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Abraham se duboko nakloni mještanima,
13 He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
a onda progovori Efronu da mještani čuju na svoje uši: “Ded me samo poslušaj! Dajem ti cijenu za poljanu; primi je od mene da ondje mogu sahraniti svoju pokojnicu!”
14 Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Efron odgovori Abrahamu:
15 “My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”
“Čuj me, moj gospodine: zemljište u vrijednosti od četiri stotine srebrnika, što je to tebi i meni! Sahrani, dakle, svoju pokojnicu!”
16 Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.
Abraham se složi s Efronom; isplati Abraham Efronu novac što ga je spomenuo tako da su na svoje uši čuli sinovi Hetovi - četiri stotine srebrnika trgovačke mjere.
17 So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded
I tako Efronova poljana u Makpeli nasuprot Mamri - poljana, spilja i sva stabla što su bila na poljani -
18 to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
prijeđe u vlasništvo Abrahamovo u nazočnosti sinova Hetovih, sviju koji su sjedili u vijeću svoga grada.
19 After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
A onda Abraham sahrani svoju ženu Saru u spilji na poljani Makpeli nasuprot Mamri - danas Hebronu - u zemlji kanaanskoj.
20 The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham by the children of Heth as a possession for a burial place.
Tako je poljana i spilja na njoj prešla od sinova Hetovih u vlasništvo Abrahamovo za sahranjivanje.
