Genesis, 23

1. Now Sarah lived for one hundred and twenty-seven years.

1. Duljina Sarina života bila je stotinu dvadeset i sedam godina.

2. And she died in the city of Arba, which is Hebron, in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn and weep for her.

2. Sara umrije u Kirjat Arbi, to jest u Hebronu, u zemlji kanaanskoj; i Abraham uðe u žalost za Sarom i naricaše za njom.

3. And when he had risen up from the funeral duties, he spoke to the sons of Heth, saying:

3. Potom se Abraham digne ispred svoje pokojnice te prozbori sinovima Hetovim:

4. “I am a newcomer and a sojourner among you. Give me the right of a sepulcher among you, so that I may bury my dead.”

4. "Premda sam ja meðu vama doseljeni stranac, prodajte mi zemljište za grob meðu vama, tako da mogu iznijeti svoju pokojnicu i sahraniti je."

5. The sons of Heth responded by saying:

5. A sinovi Hetovi odgovore Abrahamu:

6. “Hear us, O lord, you are a leader of God among us. Bury your dead in our chosen sepulchers. And no man shall be able to prohibit you from burying your dead within his memorial.”

6. "Gospodine, saslušaj nas! Ti si izabranik Božji u našoj sredini. Pokopaj svoju pokojnicu u našem najbiranijem grobu. Nitko ti od nas neæe odbiti svoga groba da mogneš sahraniti svoju pokojnicu."

7. Abraham arose, and he reverenced the people of the land, namely, the sons of Heth.

7. Nato se Abraham diže pa se mještanima, sinovima Hetovim, duboko pokloni

8. And he said to them: “If it pleases your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede on my behalf with Ephron, the son of Zohar,

8. te im reèe: "Ako se slažete da svoju pokojnicu uklonim i sahranim, èujte me: zauzmite se za me kod Efrona, sina Soharova,

9. so that he may give me the double cave, which he has at the far end of his field. He may transfer it to me for as much money as it is worth in your sight, for the possession of a sepulcher.”

9. da mi proda spilju Makpelu što njemu pripada a nalazi se na kraju njegova posjeda; neka mi je za punu cijenu, u vašoj nazoènosti, proda u vlasništvo za sahranjivanje."

10. Now Ephron dwelt in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron responded to Abraham in the hearing of everyone who was entering at the gate of his city, saying:

10. A Efron je sjedio sa sinovima Hetovim. Potom Efron, Hetit, odgovori Abrahamu da ga èuju sinovi Hetovi svojim ušima - svi koji su sjedili u vijeæu onoga grada:

11. “Let it never be so, my lord, but you should pay greater heed to what I say. The field I will transfer to you, and the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people, bury your dead.”

11. "Ne, moj gospodine! Saslušaj mene! Ja tebi dajem poljanu i spilju što je na njoj; darujem ti to pred sinovima svoga naroda. Sahrani svoju pokojnicu."

12. Abraham reverenced in the sight of the people of the land.

12. Abraham se duboko nakloni mještanima,

13. And he spoke to Ephron, standing in the midst of the people: “I ask you to hear me. I will give you money for the field. Take it, and so I will bury my dead in it.”

13. a onda progovori Efronu da mještani èuju na svoje uši: "Ded me samo poslušaj! Dajem ti cijenu za poljanu; primi je od mene da ondje mogu sahraniti svoju pokojnicu!"

14. And Ephron responded: “My lord, hear me.

14. Efron odgovori Abrahamu:

15. The land that you request is worth four hundred shekels of silver. This is the price between me and you. But how much is this? Bury your dead.”

15. "Èuj me, moj gospodine: zemljište u vrijednosti od èetiri stotine srebrnika, što je to tebi i meni! Sahrani, dakle, svoju pokojnicu!"

16. And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had requested, in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, of the approved public currency.

16. Abraham se složi s Efronom; isplati Abraham Efronu novac što ga je spomenuo tako da su na svoje uši èuli sinovi Hetovi - èetiri stotine srebrnika trgovaèke mjere.

17. And having confirmed that the field, in which there was a double cave overlooking Mamre, formerly belonged to Ephron, both it and the sepulcher, and all its trees, with all its surrounding limits,

17. I tako Efronova poljana u Makpeli nasuprot Mamri - poljana, spilja i sva stabla što su bila na poljani -

18. Abraham took it as a possession, in the sight of the sons of Heth and of everyone who was entering at the gate of his city.

18. prijeðe u vlasništvo Abrahamovo u nazoènosti sinova Hetovih, sviju koji su sjedili u vijeæu svoga grada.

19. So then, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the double cave of the field that overlooked Mamre. This is Hebron in the land of Canaan.

19. A onda Abraham sahrani svoju ženu Saru u spilji na poljani Makpeli nasuprot Mamri - danas Hebronu - u zemlji kanaanskoj.

20. And the field was confirmed to Abraham, with the cave that was in it, as a memorial possession before the sons of Heth.

20. Tako je poljana i spilja na njoj prešla od sinova Hetovih u vlasništvo Abrahamovo za sahranjivanje.
