¹Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.

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

²Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

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

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

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

⁴“I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”

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.

⁵The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

⁵A synovia Hetovi odpovedali Abrahámovi a riekli mu:

⁶“Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”

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.

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

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

⁸He talked 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,

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.

⁹that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me among you for a possession of a burying-place.”

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.

¹⁰Now Ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,

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:

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 children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”

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.

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

¹²Vtedy sa zase poklonil Abrahám pred ľudom zeme.

¹³He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”

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.

¹⁴Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

¹⁴A Efron odpovedal Abrahámovi a riekol mu:

¹⁵“My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”

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

¹⁶Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.

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

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

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,

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

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

¹⁹After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.

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

²⁰The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the children of Heth.

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