Pirmā Mozus 23
1 Un Sāra bija simts divdesmit un septiņus gadus veca, - šis bija Sāras mūžs, - un Sāra nomira Kiriat-Arbā, - tā ir Hebrone Kanaāna zemē.
When Sarah was 127 years old,
2 Un Ābrahāms nāca Sāru nožēlot un viņu apraudāt.
she died at Kiriath-Arba [town], which is now called Hebron, in the Canaan region. After Abraham mourned for her,
3 Tad Ābrahāms cēlās no sava miroņa un runāja ar Heta bērniem sacīdams:
he left the body of his wife and [went and] spoke to some of the descendants of Heth, saying,
4 Es esmu svešinieks un piedzīvotājs pie jums, dodiet man dzimts kapa vietu, - tad es savu mironi aprakšu no manām acīm nost.
“I am a foreigner [DOU] living among you, [so I do not own any land here]. Sell me some land here so that I can bury my wife’s body.”
5 Un Heta bērni Ābrahāmam atbildēja un uz to sacīja:
They replied to him,
6 Klausi mūs, kungs; tu esi viens Dieva celts virsnieks mūsu vidū, - aproc savu mironi mūsu visgodīgākos kapos; nevienam no mums tev nebūs liegt savu kapu, ka tu nevarētu aprakt savu mironi.
“Sir, you are a powerful prince among us. Choose one of our finest tombs and bury your wife’s [body] in it. None of us will refuse to sell land to you for a tomb for your relatives’ bodies.”
7 Tad Ābrahāms cēlās un klanījās priekš tiem zemes ļaudīm, priekš Heta bērniem,
Then Abraham stood up and bowed [in respect] in front of the people who owned the land, the descendants of Heth.
8 Un ar tiem runāja sacīdams: ja tas jums pa prātam, ka es savu mironi aproku no savām acīm nost, tad klausiet man un lūdziet par mani Efronu, Coāra dēlu,
He said to them, “If you say that you are willing for me to bury my wife’s body here, listen to me, and ask Ephron, the son of Zohar for me,
9 Lai tas man dod Makpelas alu, kas tam ir sava tīruma galā; lai man to dod par pilnu naudu, par dzimts kapa vietu jūsu vidū.
to sell to me the cave in the Machpelah area, which is at the end of his field. Ask him to sell it to me for the full price he wants, so that I can have a burial ground among you.”
10 Un Efrons sēdēja starp Heta bērniem. Tad Efrons, tas Etietis, Ābrahāmam atbildēja priekš Heta bērnu ausīm un priekš visiem, kas pa viņa pilsētas vārtiem staigāja, sacīdams:
Ephron was sitting among the people near the city gate where many [HYP] descendants of Heth had gathered. He heard what Abraham said to them.
11 Nē, mans kungs, klausi man, - to tīrumu es tev dodu, un to alu, kas tanī ir, to es tev dodu, priekš savu ļaužu bērnu acīm es tev to dodu, aproc savu mironi.
[So, just to make the customary reply to start the real discussion about a price], Ephron said, “No, sir, listen to me. I will give to you the field and the cave in it, without charge, with the people here as witnesses.”
12 Tad Ābrahāms klanījās priekš tiem zemes ļaudīm
Abraham again bowed before the people who lived in the area,
13 Un runāja uz Efronu, tiem zemes ļaudīm dzirdot, sacīdams: kaut tu jel mani klausītu! Es tev došu to naudu par to tīrumu, ņem to no manis, tad es tur aprakšu savu mironi.
and said to Ephron, as all the others were listening, “[No], listen to me. If you are willing, I will pay for the field. You tell me what the price is, and I will give it to you. If you accept it, the field will become mine, and I can bury my wife’s body there.”
14 Un Efrons atbildēja Ābrahāmam sacīdams:
Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 Mans kungs, klausi mani, tā zeme maksā četrsimt sudraba sēķeļus, - kas tas ir starp mani un tevi? Aproc tikai savu mironi.
“Sir, listen to me. The land is worth 400 pieces of silver. But the price is not important to you and me. Give me the money and bury your wife’s body there.”
16 Un Ābrahāms paklausīja Efronam un nosvēra tam to naudu, kā tas bija runājis, Heta bērniem dzirdot, četrsimt sudraba sēķeļus, kas ģeld tirgotāju starpā.
Abraham agreed with Ephron about the price, and weighed for Ephron the 400 pieces of silver he had suggested, as everyone was listening, using the standard weights for silver used [in that area] by people who sold things.
17 Tad kļuva apstiprināts Efrona tīrums, iekš kā tā Makpelas ala, pret Mamri, tas tīrums un tā ala, kas tanī bija, un visi koki, kas uz tā tīruma stāvēja, kas visapkārt bija viņa ežās,
So Ephron’s field in the Machpelah area, near Mamre, and the cave in the field, and all the trees that were in the field inside the boundaries of the land, became Abraham’s possession.
18 Ābrahāmam par īpašumu priekš Heta bērnu acīm, priekš visiem, kas pa viņa pilsētas vārtiem staigāja.
It became Abraham’s property as all the descendants of Heth were listening there at the city gate.
19 Un pēc tam Ābrahāms apraka savu sievu Sāru Makpelas alā tai tīrumā pret Mamri, - tā ir Hebrone Kanaāna zemē.
After that, Abraham buried his wife Sarah’s body in the cave in the field in the Machpelah area near Mamre, which is now called Hebron [city], in the Canaan region.
20 Tā kļuva apstiprināts tas tīrums un tā ala, kas tanī bija, Ābrahāmam par dzimts kapa vietu no Heta bērniem.
So the field and the cave in it were officially sold to Abraham by the descendants of Heth, to be used as a burial ground.
