Jenèz 23
1 Alò, Sarah te viv pandan san-ven-sèt ane. Men sa yo ki te lane a Sarah.
And the life of Sarrha was an hundred and twenty-seven years.
2 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.
And Sarrha died in the city of Arboc, which is in the valley, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan; and Abraam came to lament for Sarrha and to mourn.
3 Konsa, Abraham te leve kite mò li a. Li te pale a fis a Heth yo. Li te di:
And Abraam stood up from before his dead; and Abraam spoke to the sons of Chet, saying,
4 “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.”
I am a sojourner and a stranger among you, give me therefore possession of a burying-place among you, and I will bury my dead away from me.
5 Fis a Heth yo te reponn Abraham. Yo te di l:
And the sons of Chet answered to Abraam, saying, Not so, Sir,
6 “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.”
but hear us; you are in the midst of us a king from God; bury your dead in our choice sepulchres, for not one of us will by any means withhold his sepulchre from you, so that you should not bury your dead there.
7 Abraham te leve e te bese devan moun yo nan peyi a, fis a Heth yo.
And Abraam rose up and did obeisance to the people of the land, to the sons of Chet.
8 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,
And Abraam spoke to them, saying, If you have it in your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, listen to me, and speak for me to Ephron the son Saar.
9 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.”
And let him give me the double cave which he has, which is in a part of his field, let him give it me for the money it is worth for possession of a burying-place among you.
10 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:
Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Chet, and Ephron the Chettite answered Abraam and spoke in the hearing of the sons of Chet, and of all who entered the city, saying,
11 “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.”
Attend to me, my lord, and hear me, I give to you the field and the cave which is in it; I have given it you before all my country men; bury your dead.
12 Konsa, Abraham te bese devan pèp peyi a.
And Abraam did obeisance before the people of the land.
13 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.”
And he said in the ears of Ephron before the people of the land, Since you are on my side, hear me; take the price of the field from me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Konsa, Ephron te reponn Abraham e te di li:
But Ephron answered Abraam, saying,
15 “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.”
Nay, my lord, I have heard indeed, the land [is worth] four hundred silver didrachmas, but what can this be between me and you? nay, do you bury your dead.
16 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.
And Abraam listened to Ephron, and Abraam rendered to Ephron the money, which he mentioned in the ears of the sons of Chet, four hundred didrachmas of silver approved with merchants.
17 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
And the field of Ephron, which was in Double Cave, which is opposite Mambre, the field and the cave, which was in it, and every tree which was in the field, and whatever is in its borders round about, were made sure in its borders round about, were made sure
18 a Abraham kòm posesyon nan prezans fis a Heth yo, devan tout moun ki te antre nan pòtay vil li a.
to Abraam for a possession, before the sons of Chet, and all that entered into the city.
19 Apre sa, Abraham te antere Sarah, madanm li nan kav la nan chan Macpéla ki anfas Mamre a, (sa vle di Hébron)
After this Abraam buried Sarrha his wife in the Double Cave of the field, which is opposite Mambre, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan.
20 Konsa, fis a Etyen yo te bay papye tè a enkli ak kav la; yo te transfere li a Abraham pou yon landwa antèman.
So the field and the cave which was in it were made sure to Abraam for possession of a burying place, by the sons of Chet.
