创世纪 Genesis

23:1	[hgb]	撒拉享寿一百二十七岁，这是撒拉一生的岁数。
	[bbe]	Now the years of Sarah's life were a hundred and twenty-seven.
23:2	[hgb]	撒拉死在迦南地的基列亚巴，就是希伯仑。亚伯拉罕为她哀恸哭号。
	[bbe]	And Sarah's death took place in Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan: and Abraham went into his house, weeping and sorrowing for Sarah.
23:3	[hgb]	后来亚伯拉罕从死人面前起来，对赫人说，
	[bbe]	And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth,
23:4	[hgb]	我在你们中间是外人，是寄居的。求你们在这里给我一块地，我好埋葬我的死人，使她不在我眼前。
	[bbe]	I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest.
23:5	[hgb]	赫人回答亚伯拉罕说，
	[bbe]	And in answer the children of Heth said to Abraham,
23:6	[hgb]	我主请听。你在我们中间是一位尊大的王子，只管在我们最好的坟地里埋葬你的死人。我们没有一人不容你在他的坟地里埋葬你的死人。
	[bbe]	My lord, truly you are a great chief among us; take the best of our resting-places for your dead; not one of us will keep back from you a place where you may put your dead to rest.
23:7	[hgb]	亚伯拉罕就起来，向那地的赫人下拜，
	[bbe]	And Abraham got up and gave honour to the children of Heth, the people of that land.
23:8	[hgb]	对他们说，你们若有意叫我埋葬我的死人，使她不在我眼前，就请听我的话，为我求琐辖的儿子以弗仑，
	[bbe]	And he said to them, If you will let me put my dead to rest here, make a request for me to Ephron, the son of Zohar,
23:9	[hgb]	把田头上那麦比拉洞给我。他可以按着足价卖给我，作我在你们中间的坟地。
	[bbe]	That he will give me the hollow in the rock named Machpelah, which is his property at the end of his field; let him give it to me for its full price as a resting-place for my dead among you.
23:10	[hgb]	当时以弗仑正坐在赫人中间。于是，赫人以弗仑在城门出入的赫人面前对亚伯拉罕说，
	[bbe]	Now Ephron was seated among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite gave Abraham his answer in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those who came into his town, saying,
23:11	[hgb]	不然，我主请听。我送给你这块田，连田间的洞也送给你，在我同族的人面前都给你，可以埋葬你的死人。
	[bbe]	No, my lord, I will give you the field with the hollow in the rock; before all the children of my people will I give it to you for a resting-place for your dead.
23:12	[hgb]	亚伯拉罕就在那地的人民面前下拜，
	[bbe]	And Abraham went down on his face before the people of the land.
23:13	[hgb]	在他们面前对以弗仑说，你若应允，请听我的话。我要把田价给你，求你收下，我就在那里埋葬我的死人。
	[bbe]	And Abraham said to Ephron, in the hearing of the people of the land, If only you will give ear to me, I will give you the price of the field; take it, and let me put my dead to rest there.
23:14	[hgb]	以弗仑回答亚伯拉罕说，
	[bbe]	So Ephron said to Abraham,
23:15	[hgb]	我主请听。值四百舍客勒银子的一块田，在你我中间还算什么呢？只管埋葬你的死人吧。
	[bbe]	My lord, give ear to me: the value of the land is four hundred shekels; what is that between me and you? so put your dead to rest there.
23:16	[hgb]	亚伯拉罕听从了以弗仑，照着他在赫人面前所说的话，把买卖通用的银子平了四百舍客勒给以弗仑。
	[bbe]	And Abraham took note of the price fixed by Ephron in the hearing of the children of Heth, and gave him four hundred shekels in current money.
23:17	[hgb]	于是，麦比拉，幔利前，以弗仑的那块田和其中的洞，并田间四围的树木，
	[bbe]	So Ephron's field at Machpelah near Mamre, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it,
23:18	[hgb]	都定准归与亚伯拉罕，乃是他在赫人面前并城门出入的人面前买妥的。
	[bbe]	Became the property of Abraham before the eyes of the children of Heth and of all who came into the town.
23:19	[hgb]	此后，亚伯拉罕把他妻子撒拉埋葬在迦南地幔利前的麦比拉田间的洞里。幔利就是希伯仑。
	[bbe]	Then Abraham put Sarah his wife to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah near Mamre, that is, Hebron in the land of Canaan.
23:20	[hgb]	从此，那块田和田间的洞就借着赫人定准归与亚伯拉罕作坟地。
	[bbe]	And the field and the hollow rock were handed over to Abraham as his property by the children of Heth.
