Gênesis 23
1 E foi a vida de Sarah cento e vinte e sete annos: estes foram os annos da vida de Sarah.
Sarah [Princess] lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah [Princess]’s life.
2 E morreu Sarah em Kiriath-arba, que é Hebron, na terra de Canaan; e veiu Abrahão lamentar a Sarah e chorar por ella.
Sarah [Princess] died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan [Humbled]. Abraham [Father of a multitude] came to mourn for Sarah [Princess], and to weep for her.
3 Depois se levantou Abrahão de diante do seu morto, e fallou aos filhos de Heth, dizendo:
Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the children of Heth [Trembling fear], saying,
4 Estrangeiro e peregrino sou entre vós: dae-me possessão de sepultura comvosco, para que eu sepulte o meu morto de diante da minha face.
“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.”
5 E responderam os filhos de Heth a Abrahão, dizendo-lhe:
The children of Heth [Trembling fear] answered Abraham [Father of a multitude], saying to him,
6 Ouve-nos, meu senhor; principe de Deus és no meio de nós; enterra o teu morto na mais escolhida de nossas sepulturas; nenhum de nós te vedará a sua sepultura, para enterrar o teu morto.
“Sh'ma ·hear obey· us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
7 Então se levantou Abrahão, e inclinou-se diante do povo da terra, diante dos filhos de Heth.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth [Trembling fear].
8 E fallou com elles, dizendo: Se é de vossa vontade que eu sepulte o meu morto de diante de minha face, ouvi-me e fallae por mim a Ephron, filho de Zohar,
He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, sh'ma ·hear obey· me, and entreat for me to Ephron [Fawn-like] the son of Zohar,
9 Que elle me dê a cova de Machpelah, que elle tem no fim do seu campo; que m'a dê pelo devido preço em herança de sepulchro no meio de vós
that he may give me the cave of Machpelah [Double], which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me among you for a possession of a burying-place.”
10 Ora Ephron habitava no meio dos filhos de Heth: e respondeu Ephron hetheo a Abrahão, aos ouvidos dos filhos de Heth, de todos os que entravam pela porta da sua cidade, dizendo:
Now Ephron [Fawn-like] was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth [Trembling fear]. Ephron [Fawn-like] the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear] answered Abraham [Father of a multitude] in the hearing of the children of Heth [Trembling fear], even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
11 Não, meu senhor: ouve-me, o campo te dou, tambem te dou a cova que n'elle está, diante dos olhos dos filhos do meu povo t'a dou; sepulta o teu morto.
“No, my lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· 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.”
12 Então Abrahão se inclinou diante da face do povo da terra,
Abraham [Father of a multitude] bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 E fallou a Ephron, aos ouvidos do povo da terra, dizendo: Mas se tu estás por isto, ouve-me, peço-te: o preço do campo o darei; toma-o de mim, e sepultarei ali o meu morto.
He spoke to Ephron [Fawn-like] in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please sh'ma ·hear obey· me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
14 E respondeu Ephron a Abrahão, dizendo-lhe:
Ephron [Fawn-like] answered Abraham [Father of a multitude], saying to him,
15 Meu senhor, ouve-me, a terra é de quatrocentos siclos de prata; que é isto entre mim e ti? sepulta o teu morto.
“My lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· unto me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels [10 lb; 4.54 kg] of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”
16 E Abrahão deu ouvidos a Ephron e Abrahão pesou a Ephron a prata de que tinha fallado aos ouvidos dos filhos de Heth, quatrocentos siclos de prata, correntes entre mercadores.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· to Ephron [Fawn-like]. Abraham [Father of a multitude] weighed to Ephron [Fawn-like] the silver which he had named in the audience of the children of Heth [Trembling fear], four hundred shekels [10 lb; 4.54 kg] of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard [where one shekel is 0.4 oz; 11.34 g].
17 Assim o campo de Ephron, que estava em Machpelah, em frente de Mamre, o campo e a cova que n'elle estava, e todo o arvoredo que no campo havia, que estava em todo o seu contorno ao redor,
So the field of Ephron [Fawn-like], which was in Machpelah [Double], which was before Mamre [Bitter, Fatness], 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
18 Se confirmou a Abrahão em possessão diante dos olhos dos filhos de Heth, de todos os que entravam pela porta da sua cidade.
to Abraham [Father of a multitude] for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth [Trembling fear], before all who went in at the gate of his city.
19 E depois sepultou Abrahão a Sarah sua mulher na cova do campo de Machpelah, em frente de Mamre, que é Hebron, na terra de Canaan.
After this, Abraham [Father of a multitude] buried Sarah [Princess] his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah [Double] before Mamre [Bitter, Fatness] (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan [Humbled].
20 Assim o campo e a cova que n'elle estava se confirmou a Abrahão em possessão de sepultura pelos filhos de Heth.
The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham [Father of a multitude] for a possession of a burying place by the children of Heth [Trembling fear].
