創世記 23
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1撒拉 享壽一百二十七歲，這是 撒拉 一生的歲數。
1Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
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。
2Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3後來 亞伯拉罕 從死人面前起來，對 赫 人說：
3Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
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 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.”
5赫 人回答 亞伯拉罕 說：
5The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
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“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.”
7亞伯拉罕 就起來，向那地的 赫 人下拜，
7Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
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 ，
8He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
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。」
9that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me among you as a possession for a burial place.”
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 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,
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, 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.”
12亞伯拉罕 就在那地的人民面前下拜，
12Abraham bowed himself 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。」
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.”
14以弗崙 回答 亞伯拉罕 說：
14Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
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“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.”
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 listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.
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 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
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 for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at 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 Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before 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。
20The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham by the children of Heth as a possession for a burial place.
