¹Ja Saara elas sada kakskümmend seitse aastat; nii palju oli Saaral eluaastaid.

¹And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.

²Saara suri Kirjat-Arbas, see on Hebronis, Kaananimaal; ja Aabraham tuli Saarat leinama ja taga nutma.

²And Sarah died in Kirjath-Arba: that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

³Siis Aabraham tõusis üles oma surnu juurest ja rääkis hettidega, öeldes:

³And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

⁴'Mina olen teie juures võõras ja majaline. Andke mulle eneste juurde pärandhaud, et saaksin matta surnu oma silma eest.'

⁴I am a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a sepulchre with you, that I may bury my dead from before me.

⁵Ja hetid vastasid Aabrahamile, öeldes temale:

⁵And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

⁶'Kuule meid, isand! Sina oled Jumala vürst meie keskel. Mata oma surnu meie kõige paremasse hauda! Ükski meist ei keela sulle oma hauda su surnu matmiseks.'

⁶Hear us, my lord: thou art a prince of God among us: in the choicest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre for burying thy dead.

⁷Aga Aabraham tõusis ning kummardas maa rahva, hettide ees

⁷And Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,

⁸ja rääkis nendega, öeldes: 'Kui see on teile meeltmööda, et ma oma surnu oma silma eest ära matan, siis kuulge mind ja mõjustage minu kasuks Efronit, Sohari poega,

⁸and spoke to them, saying, If it be your will that I should bury my dead from before me, hear me, and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar,

⁹et ta mulle annaks temale kuuluva Makpela koopa, mis on ta välja servas. Ta andku see mulle täie hinna eest pärushauaks teie keskel!'

⁹that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which is his, which is at the end of his field; for the full money let him give it to me amongst you for a possession of a sepulchre.

¹⁰Aga Efron istus hettide hulgas; ja hett Efron vastas Aabrahamile hettide kuuldes, kõigi juuresolekul, kes ta linna väravast läbi käisid, ja ütles:

¹⁰And Ephron was dwelling among the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham, in the ears of the sons of Heth, [even] of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,

¹¹'Ei, mu isand! Kuule mind! Ma annan sulle välja, samuti ma annan sulle koopa, mis sellel asub; ma annan selle sulle oma rahvuskaaslaste silma all. Mata oma surnu!'

¹¹No, my lord: hear me. The field give I thee; and the cave that is in it, to thee I give it; before the eyes of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.

¹²Kuid Aabraham kummardas maa rahva ees,

¹²And Abraham bowed down before the people of the land;

¹³rääkis Efroniga maa rahva kuuldes ja ütles: 'Kui sa ometi ise mind kuulda võtaksid! Mina maksan välja eest raha, võta see minult, et saaksin oma surnu sinna matta!'

¹³and he spoke to Ephron, in the ears of the people of the land, saying, But if only thou wouldst listen to me, I give the money for the field: take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead there.

¹⁴Siis Efron vastas Aabrahamile, öeldes temale:

¹⁴And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

¹⁵'Mu isand, kuule mind! Maa väärtus on nelisada hõbeseeklit - mis tähtsus sellel ongi minu ja sinu vahekorra juures. Mata aga oma surnu!'

¹⁵My lord, hearken to me. A field of four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.

¹⁶Ja Aabraham kuulas Efronit; Aabraham vaagis Efronile raha, mida see hettide kuuldes oli nimetanud, nelisada hõbeseeklit, kaubanduses käibel olevaid.

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

¹⁷Nõnda said Efroni väli Makpelas Mamre kohal, väli ja selles olev koobas ja kõik väljal olevad puud, mis olid ümber kogu selle maa-ala,

¹⁷So the field of Ephron, which was at Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all its borders round about,

¹⁸Aabrahami omandiks hettide nähes, kõigi juuresolekul, kes linna väravast läbi käisid.

¹⁸were assured to Abraham for a possession before the eyes of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

¹⁹Ja seejärel Aabraham mattis oma naise Saara Makpela välja koopasse Mamre kohal, see on Hebronis Kaananimaal.

¹⁹And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field at Machpelah, opposite to Mamre: that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.

²⁰Nõnda said väli ja selles olev koobas hettidelt Aabrahamile pärushauaks.

²⁰And the field and the cave that was in it were assured to Abraham for a possession of a sepulchre by the sons of Heth.
