| 1 Duljina Sarina života bila je stotinu dvadeset i sedam godina. | 1 Sarah lived a hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah. |
| 2 Sara umrije u Kirjat Arbi, to jest u Hebronu, u zemlji kanaanskoj; i Abraham uđe u žalost za Sarom i naricaše za njom. | 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. |
| 3 Potom se Abraham digne ispred svoje pokojnice te prozbori sinovima Hetovim: | 3 And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and said to the Hittites, |
| 4 »Premda sam ja među vama doseljeni stranac, prodajte mi zemljište za grob među vama, tako da mogu iznijeti svoju pokojnicu i sahraniti je.« | 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." |
| 5 A sinovi Hetovi odgovore Abrahamu: | 5 The Hittites answered Abraham, |
| 6 »Gospodine, saslušaj nas! Ti si izabranik Božji u našoj sredini. Pokopaj svoju pokojnicu u našem najbiranijem grobu. Nitko ti od nas neće odbiti svoga groba da mogneš sahraniti svoju pokojnicu.« | 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." |
| 7 Nato se Abraham diže pa se mještanima, sinovima Hetovim, duboko pokloni | 7 Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land. |
| 8 te im reče: »Ako se slažete da svoju pokojnicu uklonim i sahranim, čujte me: zauzmite se za me kod Efrona, sina Soharova, | 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, |
| 9 da mi proda špilju Makpelu što njemu pripada a nalazi se na kraju njegova posjeda; neka mi je za punu cijenu, u vašoj nazočnosti, proda u vlasništvo za sahranjivanje.« | 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." |
| 10 A Efron je sjedio sa sinovima Hetovim. Potom Efron, Hetit, odgovori Abrahamu da ga čuju sinovi Hetovi svojim ušima – svi koji su sjedili u vijeću onoga grada: | 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, |
| 11 »Ne, moj gospodine! Saslušaj mene! Ja tebi dajem poljanu i špilju što je na njoj; darujem ti to pred sinovima svoga naroda. Sahrani svoju pokojnicu.« | 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." |
| 12 Abraham se duboko nakloni mještanima, | 12 Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the land. |
| 13 a onda progovori Efronu da mještani čuju na svoje uši: »Ded me samo poslušaj! Dajem ti cijenu za poljanu; primi je od mene da ondje mogu sahraniti svoju pokojnicu!« | 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." |
| 14 Efron odgovori Abrahamu: | 14 Ephron answered Abraham, |
| 15 »Čuj me, moj gospodine: zemljište u vrijednosti od četiri stotine srebrnika, što je to tebi i meni! Sahrani, dakle, svoju pokojnicu!« | 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." |
| 16 Abraham se složi s Efronom; isplati Abraham Efronu novac što ga je spomenuo tako da su na svoje uši čuli sinovi Hetovi – četiri stotine srebrnika trgovačke mjere. | 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. |
| 17 I tako Efronova poljana u Makpeli nasuprot Mamri – poljana, špilja i sva stabla što su bila na poljani – | 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 |
| 18 prijeđe u vlasništvo Abrahamovo u nazočnosti sinova Hetovih, sviju koji su sjedili u vijeću svoga grada. | 18 to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the Hittites, before all who went in at the gate of his city. |
| 19 A onda Abraham sahrani svoju ženu Saru u spilji na poljani Makpeli nasuprot Mamri – danas Hebronu – u zemlji kanaanskoj. | 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. |
| 20 Tako je poljana i špilja na njoj prešla od sinova Hetovih u vlasništvo Abrahamovo za sahranjivanje. | 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. |
