Genesis 23

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 The length of Sarah's life was a hundred and twenty-seven years.	1 Duljina Sarina života bila je stotinu dvadeset i sedam godina.
2 She died at Kiriath-Arba -- now Hebron -- in the land of Canaan, and Abraham proceeded to mournand bewail her.	2 Sara umrije u Kirjat Arbi, to jest u Hebronu, u zemlji kanaanskoj; i Abraham uđe u žalost za Sarom i naricaše za njom.
3 Then rising from beside his dead, Abraham spoke to the Hittites,	3 Potom se Abraham digne ispred svoje pokojnice te prozbori sinovima Hetovim:
4 'I am a stranger resident here,' he said. 'Let me have a burial site of my own here, so that I canremove my dead for burial.'	4 »Premda sam ja među vama doseljeni stranac, prodajte mi zemljište za grob među vama, tako da mogu iznijeti svoju pokojnicu i sahraniti je.«
5 The Hittites replied to Abraham,	5 A sinovi Hetovi odgovore Abrahamu:
6 'Please listen to us, my lord, we regard you as a prince of God; bury your dead in the best of ourtombs; not one of us would refuse you his tomb for you to bury your dead.'	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.«
7 At this, Abraham rose and bowed low to the local people, the Hittites,	7 Nato se Abraham diže pa se mještanima, sinovima Hetovim, duboko pokloni
8 and pleaded with them as fol ows, 'If you consent to my removing my dead for burial, you must agreeto intercede for me with Ephron son of Zohar,	8 te im reče: »Ako se slažete da svoju pokojnicu uklonim i sahranim, čujte me: zauzmite se za me kod Efrona, sina Soharova,
9 for him to let me have the cave he owns at Machpelah, which is on the edge of his field. Let him sel itto me in your presence at its ful price, for a burial site of my own.'	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.«
10 Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites, and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearingof the Hittites, of al the inhabitants of his town.	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:
11 'No, my lord, listen to me,' he said. 'I give you the field and the cave in it; I make this gift in thepresence of my kinsmen. Bury your dead.'	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.«
12 Abraham bowed low to the local people	12 Abraham se duboko nakloni mještanima,
13 and, in the hearing of the local people, replied to Ephron as fol ows, 'Be good enough to listen to me.I shal pay the price of the field; accept it from me and I shal bury my dead there.'	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!«
14 Ephron replied to Abraham,	14 Efron odgovori Abrahamu:
15 'Please listen to me, my lord. What is a plot of land for four hundred shekels of silver between meand you? Bury your dead.'	15 »Čuj me, moj gospodine: zemljište u vrijednosti od četiri stotine srebrnika, što je to tebi i meni! Sahrani, dakle, svoju pokojnicu!«
16 Abraham agreed to Ephron's terms, and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver he hadstipulated in the hearing of the Hittites, namely four hundred shekels of silver, according to the currentcommercial rate.	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.
17 Thus Ephron's field at Machpelah, facing Mamre -- the field and the cave in it and al the treesanywhere within the boundaries of the field -- passed	17 I tako Efronova poljana u Makpeli nasuprot Mamri – poljana, špilja i sva stabla što su bila na poljani –
18 into Abraham's possession in the sight of the Hittites, of al the inhabitants of his town.	18 prijeđe u vlasništvo Abrahamovo u nazočnosti sinova Hetovih, sviju koji su sjedili u vijeću svoga grada.
19 And after this, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field of Machpelah, facing Mamre --now 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 so the field and the cave in it passed from the Hittites into Abraham's possession as a burial siteof his own.	20 Tako je poljana i špilja na njoj prešla od sinova Hetovih u vlasništvo Abrahamovo za sahranjivanje.
