創世記 23
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1撒拉 享壽一百二十七歲，這是 撒拉 一生的歲數。
1Now Sarah lived to be 127 years old.
2撒拉 死在 迦南 地的 基列‧亞巴 ，就是 希伯崙 。 亞伯拉罕 為她哀慟哭號。
2She died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went out to mourn and to weep for her.
3後來 亞伯拉罕 從死人面前起來，對 赫 人說：
3Then Abraham got up from beside his dead wife and said to the Hittites,
4「我在你們中間是外人，是寄居的。求你們在這裏給我一塊地，我好埋葬我的死人，使她不在我眼前。」
4“I am a foreigner and an outsider among you. Give me a burial site among you so that I can bury my dead.”
5赫 人回答 亞伯拉罕 說：
5The Hittites replied to Abraham,
6「我主請聽。你在我們中間是一位尊大的王子，只管在我們最好的墳地裏埋葬你的死人；我們沒有一人不容你在他的墳地裏埋葬你的死人。」
6“Listen to us, sir. You are God’s chosen one among us. Bury your dead in the finest of our tombs. None of us will withhold his tomb for burying your dead.”
7亞伯拉罕 就起來，向那地的 赫 人下拜，
7Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites.
8對他們說：「你們若有意叫我埋葬我的死人，使她不在我眼前，就請聽我的話，為我求 瑣轄 的兒子 以弗崙 ，
8“If you are willing for me to bury my dead,” he said to them, “listen to me, and approach Ephron son of Zohar on my behalf
9把田頭上那 麥比拉洞 給我，他可以按着足價賣給我，作我在你們中間的墳地。」
9to sell me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him; it is at the end of his field. Let him sell it to me in your presence for full price, so that I may have a burial site.”
10當時 以弗崙 正坐在 赫 人中間。於是， 赫 人 以弗崙 在城門出入的 赫 人面前對 亞伯拉罕 說：
10Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth. So in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city, Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham,
11「不然，我主請聽。我送給你這塊田，連田間的洞也送給你，在我同族的人面前都給你，可以埋葬你的死人。」
11“No, my lord. Listen to me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. I give it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.”
12亞伯拉罕 就在那地的人民面前下拜，
12Again Abraham bowed down before the people of the land
13在他們面前對 以弗崙 說：「你若應允，請聽我的話。我要把田價給你，求你收下，我就在那裏埋葬我的死人。」
13and said to Ephron in their presence, “If you will please listen to me, I will pay you the price of the field. Accept it from me, so that I may bury my dead there.”
14以弗崙 回答 亞伯拉罕 說：
14Ephron answered Abraham,
15「我主請聽。值四百舍客勒銀子的一塊田，在你我中間還算甚麼呢？只管埋葬你的死人吧！」
15“Listen to me, my lord. The land is worth four hundred shekels of silver, but what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”
16亞伯拉罕 聽從了 以弗崙 ，照着他在 赫 人面前所說的話，把買賣通用的銀子平了四百舍客勒給 以弗崙 。
16Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms and weighed out for him the price he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver, according to the standard of the merchants.
17於是， 麥比拉 、 幔利 前、 以弗崙 的那塊田和其中的洞，並田間四圍的樹木，
17So Ephron’s field at Machpelah near Mamre, the cave that was in it, and all the trees within the boundaries of the field were deeded over
18都定準歸與 亞伯拉罕 ，乃是他在 赫 人面前並城門出入的人面前買妥的。
18to Abraham’s possession in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city.
19此後， 亞伯拉罕 把他妻子 撒拉 埋葬在 迦南 地 幔利 前的 麥比拉 田間的洞裏。（ 幔利 就是 希伯崙 ）。
19After this, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field at Machpelah near Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
20從此，那塊田和田間的洞就藉着 赫 人定準歸與 亞伯拉罕 作墳地。
20So the field and its cave were deeded by the Hittites to Abraham as a burial site.
