1And Sara lived a hundred and twenty-seven years.
1撒拉 享壽一百二十七歲，這是 撒拉 一生的歲數。
2And she died in the city of Arbee which is Hebron, in the land of Chanaan: and Abraham came to mourn and weep for her.
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。
3And after he rose up from the funeral obsequies, he spoke to the children of Heth, saying:
3後來 亞伯拉罕 從死人面前起來，對 赫 人說：
4I am a stranger and sojourner among you: give me the right of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead.
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。」
5The children of Heth answered, saying:
5赫 人回答 亞伯拉罕 說：
6My Lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principal sepulchres: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulchre.
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。」
7Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit the children of Heth:
7亞伯拉罕 就起來，向那地的 赫 人下拜，
8And said to them: If it please your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede for me to Ephron the son of Seor.
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 ，
9That he may give me the double cave, which he hath in the end of his field: for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me before you, for a possession of a burying place.
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。」
10Now Ephron dwelt in the midst of the children of Heth. And Ephron made answer to Abraham in the hearing of all that went in at the gate of the city, saying:
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：
11Let it not be so, my lord, but do thou rather hearken to what I say: The field I deliver to thee, and the cave that is therein, in the presence of the children of my people, bury thy dead.
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。」
12Abraham bowed down before the people of the land,
12亞伯拉罕 就在那地的人民面前下拜，
13And he spoke to Ephron, in the presence of the people: I beseech thee to hear me: I will give money for the field: take it, and so I will bury my dead in it.
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。」
14And Ephron answered:
14以弗崙 回答 亞伯拉罕 說：
15My lord, hear me. The ground which thou desirest, is worth four hundred sicles of silver: this is the price between me and thee: but what is this? bury thy dead.
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！」
16And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had asked, in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred sicles of silver of common current money.
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 。
17And the field that before was Ephron’s, wherein was the double cave, looking towards Mambre, both it and the cave, and all the trees thereof in all its limits round about,
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，
18Was made sure to Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth, and of all that went in at the gate of his city.
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。
19And so Abraham buried Sara his wife, in a double cave of the field, that looked towards Mambre, this is Hebron in the land of Chanaan.
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 ）。
20And the field was made sure to Abraham, and the cave that was in it, for a possession to bury in, by the children of Heth.
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。
