1 Mojzes 23
1 Sara je bila stara sto sedemindvajset let. To so bila leta Sarinega življenja.
Sarah lived a hundred and twenty-seven years. These were the years of the life of Sarah.
2 Sara je umrla v Kirját Arbi; ista je Hebrón v kánaanski deželi. Abraham je prišel, da žaluje za Saro in da joka za njo.
Sarah died in Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan. Abraham mourned and wept for Sarah.
3 Abraham je vstal pred svojo mrtvo in Hetovim sinovom spregovoril, rekoč:
Then Abraham rose up and went from his dead wife, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
4 »Tujec sem in začasen prebivalec z vami. Dajte mi posest grobišča z vami, da lahko pokopljem svojo mrtvo izpred svojega obličja.«
“I am a foreigner among you. Please grant me a property for a burial place among you, so that I may bury my dead.”
5 Hetovi otroci so Abrahamu odgovorili, rekoč mu:
The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying,
6 »Poslušaj nas, moj gospod. Ti si med nami mogočen princ. V izbiri naših mavzolejev pokoplji svojo mrtvo. Nobeden izmed nas ne bo pred teboj zadržal svojega mavzoleja, pač pa da lahko pokoplješ svojo mrtvo.«
“Listen to us, my master. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb, so that you may bury your dead.”
7 Abraham je vstal in se priklonil ljudstvu dežele, torej Hetovim otrokom.
Abraham arose and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth.
8 Posvetoval se je z njimi, rekoč: »Če je vaše mišljenje, da naj pokopljem svojo mrtvo izpred svojih oči, me poslušajte in zame prosite Coharjevega sina Efróna,
He spoke to them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead, then hear me and plead with Ephron son of Zohar, for me.
9 da bi mi lahko dal votlino Mahpélo, ki jo ima, ki je na koncu njegovega polja, kajti za kolikor denarja je vredna, naj mi jo da v posest za grobišče med vami.«
Ask him to sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he owns, which is at the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me publicly as a property for a burial place.”
10 Efrón pa je prebival med Hetovimi otroki. In Efrón Hetejec je odgovoril Abrahamu v občinstvu Hetovih otrok, torej vseh teh, ki so vstopali pri velikih vratih njegovega mesta, rekoč:
Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth, and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth, of all those who had come into the gate of his city, saying,
11 »Ne, moj gospod, poslušaj me. Polje ti dam in votlino, ki je tam, to ti dam. V prisotnosti sinov svojega ljudstva ti to dam. Pokoplji svojo mrtvo.«
“No, my master, hear me. I give you the field, and the cave that is in it. I give it to you in the presence of the sons of my people. I give it to you to bury your dead.”
12 Abraham se je priklonil pred ljudstvom dežele.
Then Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 Spregovoril je Efrónu, v občinstvu ljudstva dežele, rekoč: »Če to hočeš dati, prosim te, poslušaj me. Za to polje ti bom dal denar. Vzemi ga od mene, jaz pa bom svojo mrtvo pokopal tam.«
He spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “But if you are willing, please hear me. I will pay for the field. Take the money from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
14 Efrón je odgovoril Abrahamu, rekoč mu:
Ephron answered Abraham, saying,
15 »Moj gospod, prisluhni mi. Zemlja je vredna štiristo šeklov srebra. Kaj je to med menoj in teboj? Pokoplji torej svojo mrtvo.«
“Please, my master, listen to me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? Bury your dead.”
16 Abraham je prisluhnil Efrónu in Abraham je Efrónu odtehtal srebro, ki ga je omenil v občinstvu Hetovih sinov, štiristo šeklov srebra, trenuten denar pri trgovcu.
Abraham listened to Ephron and Abraham weighed out to Ephron the amount of silver that he had spoken in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the standard measurement of the merchants.
17 In Efrónovo polje, ki je bilo v Mahpéli, ki je bilo pred Mamrejem, polje in votlina, ki sta bila tam in vsa drevesa, ki so bila na polju, ki so bila na vseh mejah naokoli, so bila zagotovo potrjena
So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was next to Mamre, that is, the field, the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field and all around its border, passed
18 za posest Abrahamu v prisotnosti Hetovih otrok, pred vsemi, ki so vstopali pri velikih vratih njegovega mesta.
to Abraham by purchase in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all those who had come into the gate of his city.
19 In po tem je Abraham pokopal svojo ženo Saro v votlini polja Mahpéli pred Mamrejem, isti je Hebrón v kánaanski deželi.
After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which is next to Mamre, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
20 Polje in votlina, ki je tam, sta bila zagotovo potrjena Abrahamu v posest za grobišče od Hetovih sinov.
So the field and the cave in it passed to Abraham as a property for a burial place from the sons of Heth.
