Genesis 23

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Sarah lived a hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.	1 وكانت حياة سارة مئة وسبعا وعشرين سنة سني حياة سارة.
2 And Sarah died at Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan; and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.	2 وماتت سارة في قرية اربع التي هي حبرون في ارض كنعان. فاتى ابراهيم ليندب سارة ويبكي عليها.
3 And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and said to the Hittites,	3 وقام ابراهيم من امام ميته وكلم بني حثّ قائلا.
4 "I am a stranger and a sojourner among you; give me property among you for a burying place, that I may bury my dead out of my sight."	4 انا غريب ونزيل عندكم. اعطوني ملك قبر معكم لادفن ميتي من امامي.
5 The Hittites answered Abraham,	5 فاجاب بنو حثّ ابراهيم قائلين له.
6 "Hear us, my lord; you are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our sepulchres; none of us will withhold from you his sepulchre, or hinder you from burying your dead."	6 اسمعنا يا سيدي انت رئيس من الله بيننا. في افضل قبورنا ادفن ميتك. لا يمنع احد منا قبره عنك حتى لا تدفن ميتك.
7 Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land.	7 فقام ابراهيم وسجد لشعب الارض لبني حثّ.
8 And he said to them, "If you are willing that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar,	8 وكلمهم قائلا ان كان في نفوسكم ان ادفن ميتي من امامي فاسمعوني والتمسوا لي من عفرون بن صوحر
9 that he may give me the cave of Mach-pelah, which he owns; it is at the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as a possession for a burying place."	9 ان يعطيني مغارة المكفيلة التي له التي في طرف حقله. بثمن كامل يعطيني اياها في وسطكم ملك قبر.
10 Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the Hittites, of all who went in at the gate of his city,	10 وكان عفرون جالسا بين بني حثّ. فاجاب عفرون الحثّي ابراهيم في مسامع بني حثّ لدى جميع الداخلين باب مدينته قائلا.
11 "No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it; in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead."	11 لا يا سيدي اسمعني. الحقل وهبتك اياه. والمغارة التي فيه لك وهبتها. لدى عيون بني شعبي وهبتك اياها. ادفن ميتك.
12 Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the land.	12 فسجد ابراهيم امام شعب الارض.
13 And he said to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, "But if you will, hear me; I will give the price of the field; accept it from me, that I may bury my dead there."	13 وكلم عفرون في مسامع شعب الارض قائلا بل ان كنت انت اياه فليتك تسمعني. اعطيك ثمن الحقل. خذ مني فادفن ميتي هناك.
14 Ephron answered Abraham,	14 فاجاب عفرون ابراهيم قائلا له.
15 "My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between you and me? Bury your dead."	15 يا سيدي اسمعني. ارض باربع مئة شاقل فضة ما هي بيني وبينك. فادفن ميتك.
16 Abraham agreed with Ephron; and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the Hittites, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weights current among the merchants.	16 فسمع ابراهيم لعفرون ووزن ابراهيم لعفرون الفضة التي ذكرها في مسامع بني حثّ. اربع مئة شاقل فضة جائزة عند التجار
17 So the field of Ephron in Mach-pelah, which was to the east of Mamre, the field with the cave which was in it and all the trees that were in the field, throughout its whole area, was made over	17 فوجب حقل عفرون الذي في المكفيلة التي امام ممرا. الحقل والمغارة التي فيه وجميع الشجر الذي في الحقل الذي في جميع حدوده حواليه.
18 to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the Hittites, before all who went in at the gate of his city.	18 لابراهيم ملكا لدى عيون بني حثّ بين جميع الداخلين باب مدينته.
19 After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Mach-pelah east of Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.	19 وبعد ذلك دفن ابراهيم سارة امرأته في مغارة حقل المكفيلة امام ممرا التي هي حبرون في ارض كنعان.
20 The field and the cave that is in it were made over to Abraham as a possession for a burying place by the Hittites.	20 فوجب الحقل والمغارة التي فيه لابراهيم ملك قبر من عند بني حثّ
