Jenèz 23
1 Alò, Sarah te viv pandan san-ven-sèt ane. Men sa yo ki te lane a Sarah.
Sara was an hundred and. xxvij. yere olde (for so longe lyued she)
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 than dyed in a heade cyte called Hebron in the londe of Canaan. Than Abraham came to morne Sara and to wepe for her.
3 Konsa, Abraham te leve kite mò li a. Li te pale a fis a Heth yo. Li te di:
And Abraham stode vp from the coorse and talked with the sonnes of heth saynge:
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 straunger ad a foryner amonge yow geue me a possession to bury in with you that I may bury my dead oute of my sighte.
5 Fis a Heth yo te reponn Abraham. Yo te di l:
And the children of heth answered Abraham saynge vnto him:
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.”
heare vs lorde thou art a prynce of God amonge vs. In the chefest of oure sepulchres bury thy dead: None of vs shall forbydd ye his sepulchre yt thou shuldest not bury thy deade therein.
7 Abraham te leve e te bese devan moun yo nan peyi a, fis a Heth yo.
Abraha stode vp and bowed hi selfe before ye people of ye lade ye childre of heth.
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 he comoned with them saynge: Yf it be youre myndes yt I shall bury my deade oute of my sighte heare me ad speke for me to Ephron the sonne of Zoar:
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 geue me the dubill caue which he hath in the end of his felde for as moch money as it is worth let him geue it me in the presence of you for a possession to bury in.
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:
For Hephron dwelled amoge ye childern of heth. Than Ephron the Hethite answered Abraham in the audyece of the childern of Heth and of all that went in at the gates of his cyte saynge:
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.”
Not so my lorde but heare me: The felde geue I the and the caue that therein is geue I the also And even in the presence of the sonnes of my people geve I it the to bury thy deede in.
12 Konsa, Abraham te bese devan pèp peyi a.
Than Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the lade
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 spake vnto Ephro in the audyence of the people of the contre saynge: I praye the heare me I will geue sylver for the felde take it of me ad so will I bury my deed there.
14 Konsa, Ephron te reponn Abraham e te di li:
Ephron answered Abraha saynge vnto him
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.”
My lorde harken vnto me. The lande is worth iiij. hundreth sycles of syluer: But what is that betwixte the and me? bury thy deede.
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 Abraham harkened vnto Ephron and weyde him the sylver which he had sayde in the audyence of the sonnes of Heth. Euen. iiij. hudred syluer sycles of currant money amonge marchauntes
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
Thus was the felde of Ephron where in the dubbill caue is before Mamre: euen the felde and the caue that is therein and all the trees of the felde which growe in all the borders rounde aboute made sure
18 a Abraham kòm posesyon nan prezans fis a Heth yo, devan tout moun ki te antre nan pòtay vil li a.
vnto Abraham for a possession in the syghte of the childern of Heth and of all that went in at the gates of the cyte.
19 Apre sa, Abraham te antere Sarah, madanm li nan kav la nan chan Macpéla ki anfas Mamre a, (sa vle di Hébron)
And then Abraham buried Sara his wyfe in the double caue of the felde that lyeth before Mare otherwise called Ebron in the lande of Canaan.
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.
And so both the felde ad the caue that is therein was made vnto Abraham a sure possession to bury in of the sonnes of Heth.
