¹A Sárinho života bolo sto dvadsať sedem rokov. To sú roky života Sárinho.

¹And the life of Sarah is a hundred and twenty and seven years — years of the life of Sarah;

²A Sára zomrela v Kirjat-arbe, to je Hebron, v Kananejskej zemi. A Abrahám prišiel, aby smútil za Sárou a aby ju oplakal.

²and Sarah dieth in Kirjath-Arba, which [is] Hebron, in the land of Caanan, and Abraham goeth in to mourn for Sarah, and to bewail her.

³Potom vstal Abrahám od svojho mŕtveho a hovoril synom Hetovým a vravel:

³And Abraham riseth up from the presence of his dead, and speaketh unto the sons of Heth, saying,

⁴Som tu u vás pohostín a cudzinec. Dajte mi u vás vlastníctva, čo mi bude na hrob, aby som pochoval svojho mŕtveho zpred svojej tvári.

⁴`A sojourner and a settler I [am] with you; give to me a possession of a burying-place with you, and I bury my dead from before me.`

⁵A synovia Hetovi odpovedali Abrahámovi a riekli mu:

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

⁶Počuj nás, pane. Ty si knieža Božie medzi nami. Pochovaj svojho mŕtveho v niektorom z našich najlepších hrobov. Nikto z nás ti neodoprie svojho hrobu, aby si tam nepochoval svojho mŕtveho.

⁶`Hear us, my lord; a prince of God [art] thou in our midst; in the choice of our burying-places bury thy dead: none of us his burying-place doth withhold from thee, from burying thy dead.`

⁷Vtedy vstal Abrahám a poklonil sa ľudu zeme, synom Hetovým.

⁷And Abraham riseth and boweth himself to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,

⁸A hovoril s nimi a riekol: Ak myslíte, aby som pochoval svojho mŕtveho zpred svojej tvári, počujte ma a prihovorte sa za mňa u Efrona, syna Cochárovho.

⁸and he speaketh with them, saying, `If it is your desire to bury my dead from before me, hear me, and meet for me with Ephron, son of Zoar;

⁹aby mi dal jaskyňu Machpelu, ktorá patrí jemu a ktorá je na konci jeho poľa; nech mi ju dá za toľko striebra, koľko je hodna, aby mi bola vlastníctvom na pohrabište medzi vami.

⁹and he giveth to me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which [is] in the extremity of his field; for full money doth he give it to me, in your midst, for a possession of a burying-place.`

¹⁰A Efron sedel medzi synmi Hetovými. A tak povedal Hetej Efron Abrahámovi v prítomnosti synov Hetových, pred všetkými, ktorí vchádzali do brány jeho mesta, a riekol:

¹⁰And Ephron is sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth, and Ephron the Hittite answereth Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, of all those entering the gate of his city, saying,

¹¹Nie tak, môj pane, ale počuj ma; pole ti dávam, i jaskyňu, ktorá je na ňom, ti dávam, pred očami synov svojho ľudu ti ju dávam. Len pochovaj svojho mŕtveho.

¹¹`Nay, my lord, hear me: the field I have given to thee, and the cave that [is] in it, to thee I have given it; before the eyes of the sons of my people I have given it to thee — bury thy dead.`

¹²Vtedy sa zase poklonil Abrahám pred ľudom zeme.

¹²And Abraham boweth himself before the people of the land,

¹³A hovoril Efronovi pred ľudom zeme a riekol: Len keď ty tedy chceš; avšak nože ma počuj, prosím! Dám striebro za pole, vezmi odo mňa, a vtedy ta pochovám svojho mŕtveho.

¹³and speaketh unto Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, `Only — if thou wouldst hear me — I have given the money of the field — accept from me, and I bury my dead there.`

¹⁴A Efron odpovedal Abrahámovi a riekol mu:

¹⁴And Ephron answereth Abraham, saying to him,

¹⁵Môj pane, nože ma počuj; zem je za štyristo šeklov; ale čože je to medzi mnou a medzi tebou? Len pochovaj svojho mŕtveho.

¹⁵`My lord, hear me: the land — four hundred shekels of silver; between me and thee, what [is] it? — thy dead bury.`

¹⁶A Abrahám poslúchol Efrona. A tak odvážil Abrahám Efronovi toľko šeklov striebra, koľko povedal, v prítomnosti synov Hetových: štyristo šeklov striebra, bežných medzi kupcami.

¹⁶And Abraham hearkeneth unto Ephron, and Abraham weigheth to Ephron the silver which he hath spoken of in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred silver shekels, passing with the merchant.

¹⁷A tak prešlo pole Efronovo, ktoré je v Machpele, ktoré je naproti Mamremu, pole i jaskyňa, ktorá je na ňom, i všetky stromy, ktoré boly na poli, ktoré boly na celom jeho chotári na okolo,

¹⁷And established are the field of Ephron, which [is] in Machpelah, which [is] before Mamre, the field and the cave which [is] in it, and all the trees which [are] in the field, which [are] in all its border round about,

¹⁸v majetok Abrahámovi pred očami synov Hetových so všetkými, ktorí vchádzajú do brány jeho mesta.

¹⁸to Abraham by purchase, before the eyes of the sons of Heth, among all entering the gate of his city.

¹⁹A potom pochoval Abrahám Sáru, svoju ženu, do jaskyne poľa Machpela, naproti Mamremu, to je Hebron, v Kananejskej zemi.

¹⁹And after this hath Abraham buried Sarah his wife at the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (which [is] Hebron), in the land of Canaan;

²⁰A tak stálo pole i jaskyňa, ktorá je na ňom, Abrahámovi za vlastníctvo na pohrabište od synov Hetových.

²⁰and established are the field, and the cave which [is] in it, to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place, from the sons of Heth.
