¹And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.

¹Bilo je pa Sarinega življenja sto sedemindvajset let; to so leta Sarinega življenja.

²And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

²In umrla je Sara v Kirjat-arbi (ki je zdaj Hebron) v deželi Kanaanski; in prišel je Abraham žalovat zaradi Sare in jokat po njej.

³And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,

³Vstane pa Abraham izpred obličja mrliča svojega ter ogovori sinove Hetove, rekoč:

⁴I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.

⁴Tujec sem in priseljenec pri vas; dajte mi posest groba pri vas, da pokopljem mrliča svojega izpred obličja svojega.

⁵And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,

⁵Odgovore pa sinovi Hetovi Abrahamu in mu reko:

⁶Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.

⁶Poslušaj nas, gospod; knez Božji si ti med nami: v najlepšem grobov naših pokoplji mrliča svojega; nihče izmed nas ti ne zapre groba svojega, da bi ne pokopal svojega mrliča.

⁷And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.

⁷Tedaj vstane Abraham ter se prikloni pred ljudstvom tiste pokrajine, pred sinovi Hetovimi.

⁸And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,

⁸In govoril je ž njimi takole: Če vas je volja, da pokopljem mrliča svojega izpred obličja svojega, poslušajte me ter govorite zame Efronu, sinu Zoharjevemu,

⁹That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.

⁹naj mi da jamo Makpelo, ki jo ima ob koncu njive svoje; za pravičen denar naj mi jo da med vami v groba posest.

¹⁰And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,

¹⁰Efron pa je sedel med sinovi Hetovimi. Odgovori pa Efron Hetejec Abrahamu vpričo sinov Hetovih, vpričo vseh, ki so prihajali v vrata mesta njegovega, rekoč:

¹¹Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.

¹¹Nikakor, gospod moj! Poslušaj me. Dam ti ono njivo, in jamo, ki je na njej, ti dam, vpričo rojakov svojih ti jo dam: pokoplji mrliča svojega.

¹²And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.

¹²Tedaj se prikloni Abraham pred ljudstvom tiste pokrajine

¹³And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.

¹³ter ogovori Efrona vpričo ljudstva pokrajine, rekoč: O da bi me vendarle poslušal! izplačam vrednost te njive v denarju, le vzemi od mene; potem pokopljem ondi mrliča svojega.

¹⁴And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,

¹⁴Odgovori pa Efron Abrahamu in reče:

¹⁵My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.

¹⁵Gospod moj, poslušaj me! Zemlja za štiristo seklov, kaj je to med menoj in teboj? Torej le pokoplji mrliča svojega.

¹⁶And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.

¹⁶Slušal je torej Abraham Efrona; in Abraham odtehta Efronu denar, ki ga je bil povedal vpričo sinov Hetovih, štiristo seklov srebra, veljavnih pri vsakem kupcu.

¹⁷And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure

¹⁷Tako je bila njiva Efronova ob Makpeli, ki je nasproti Mamri, njiva z jamo, ki je na njej, in z vsem drevjem, ki je bilo na njivi, kar je bilo v njenih mejah okrog in okrog, potrjena

¹⁸Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.

¹⁸Abrahamu v posest vpričo sinov Hetovih, vseh, ki so prihajali v vrata mesta njegovega.

¹⁹And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.

¹⁹Nato šele pokoplje Abraham Saro, ženo svojo, v jamo na njivi Makpeli, Mamri nasproti (ki je Hebron) v deželi Kanaanski.In tista njiva in jama na njej je bila potrjena Abrahamu v groba posest od sinov Hetovih.

²⁰And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.

²⁰In tista njiva in jama na njej je bila potrjena Abrahamu v groba posest od sinov Hetovih.
