亚伯拉罕买地葬撒拉
23 撒拉享年一百二十七岁， 2 在迦南境内的基列·亚巴，即希伯仑去世。亚伯拉罕在那里痛哭，哀悼她。 3 他从妻子尸体旁边站起来对赫人说： 4 “我是寄居在你们这里的异乡人，请你们给我一块地，我好埋葬我的亡妻。” 5 赫人回答说： 6 “我主，请听我们说，你在我们中间是一位尊贵的王子，你可以选我们这里最好的坟地，没有人会反对你使用他的坟地埋葬你的妻子。” 7 亚伯拉罕就向他们下拜，说： 8 “如果你们真的准我安葬妻子，就请你们代我求琐辖的儿子以弗仑， 9 请他当着你们的面，把他田地尽头的麦比拉洞按实价卖给我作坟地。”
10 当时以弗仑正坐在赫人当中，于是他在城门口赫人聚集的地方当众答复亚伯拉罕说： 11 “不可！我主，请听我说，我当着族人的面，把那块地和山洞送给你，你只管去安葬你的妻子！” 12 亚伯拉罕向当地的人下拜， 13 当众对以弗仑说：“你若愿意，请听我说，我要把地钱给你，请你收下，好让我安葬我的妻子。” 14 以弗仑回答说： 15 “我主，请听我说，四公斤半银子的地对你我来说算什么呢？去安葬你的妻子吧！” 16 于是，亚伯拉罕就照以弗仑当众提出的价钱，按通用的重量单位秤了四公斤半银子给他。
17 这样，以弗仑在麦比拉、靠近幔利的那块地和山洞及地界内所有的树木， 18 都归了亚伯拉罕。这是在城门口的赫人面前买下的。
19 之后，亚伯拉罕把妻子撒拉安葬在迦南的幔利附近、麦比拉田间的洞里。幔利就是希伯仑。 20 这块赫人的地和其中的山洞从此成了亚伯拉罕家的坟地。

Sarah Dies
23 Sarah lived to be 127 years old. 2 She died at Kiriath Arba. Kiriath Arba is also called Hebron. It’s in the land of Canaan. Sarah’s death made Abraham very sad. He went to the place where her body was lying. There he wept over her.
3 Then Abraham got up from beside his wife’s body. He said to the Hittites, 4 “I’m an outsider. I’m a stranger among you. Sell me some property where I can bury those in my family who die. Then I can bury my wife.”
5 The Hittites replied to Abraham, 6 “Sir, listen to us. You are a mighty prince among us. Bury your wife in the best place we have to bury our dead. None of us will refuse to sell you a place to bury her.”
7 Then Abraham bowed down in front of the Hittites, the people of the land. 8 He said to them, “If you are willing to let me bury my wife, then listen to me. Speak to Zohar’s son Ephron for me. 9 Ask him to sell me the cave of Machpelah. It belongs to him and is at the end of his field. Ask him to sell it to me for the full price. I want it as a place to bury my dead wife among you.”
10 Ephron the Hittite was sitting there among his people. He replied to Abraham. All of the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city heard him. 11 “No, sir,” Ephron said. “Listen to me. I will give you the field. I’ll also give you the cave that’s in the field. I will give it to you in front of my people. Bury your wife.”
12 Again Abraham bowed down in front of the people of the land. 13 He spoke to Ephron so they could hear him. He said, “Please listen to me. I’ll pay the price of the field. Accept it from me. Then I can bury my wife there.”
14 Ephron answered Abraham, 15 “Sir, listen to me. The land is worth ten pounds of silver. But what’s that between the two of us? Bury your wife.”
16 Abraham agreed to Ephron’s offer. He weighed out for Ephron the price he had named. The Hittites there had heard the amount. The price was ten pounds of silver. Abraham measured it by the weights that were used by merchants.
17 So Ephron sold his field to Abraham. The field was in Machpelah near Mamre. Abraham bought the field and the cave that was in it. He also bought all the trees that were inside the borders of the field. Everything was sold 18 to Abraham as his property. He bought it in front of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of the city. 19 Then Abraham buried his wife Sarah. He buried her in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre in the land of Canaan. Mamre is at Hebron. 20 So the field and the cave that was in it were sold to Abraham by the Hittites. The property became a place to bury those who died in his family.

The Death of Sarah
23 Sarah lived to be a hundred and twenty-seven years old. 2 She died at Kiriath Arba(A) (that is, Hebron)(B) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep over her.(C)
3 Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hittites.[a](D) He said, 4 “I am a foreigner and stranger(E) among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead.(F)”
5 The Hittites replied to Abraham, 6 “Sir, listen to us. You are a mighty prince(G) among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb for burying your dead.”
7 Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites. 8 He said to them, “If you are willing to let me bury my dead, then listen to me and intercede with Ephron son of Zohar(H) on my behalf 9 so he will sell me the cave of Machpelah,(I) which belongs to him and is at the end of his field. Ask him to sell it to me for the full price as a burial site among you.”
10 Ephron the Hittite was sitting among his people and he replied to Abraham in the hearing of all the Hittites(J) who had come to the gate(K) of his city. 11 “No, my lord,” he said. “Listen to me; I give[b](L) you the field, and I give[c] you the cave that is in it. I give[d] it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.”
12 Again Abraham bowed down before the people of the land 13 and he said to Ephron in their hearing, “Listen to me, if you will. I will pay the price of the field. Accept it from me so I can bury my dead there.”
14 Ephron answered Abraham, 15 “Listen to me, my lord; the land is worth four hundred shekels[e] of silver,(M) but what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”
16 Abraham 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,(N) according to the weight current among the merchants.(O)
17 So Ephron’s field in Machpelah(P) near Mamre(Q)—both the field and the cave in it, and all the trees within the borders of the field—was deeded 18 to Abraham as his property(R) in the presence of all the Hittites(S) who had come to the gate(T) of the city. 19 Afterward Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave in the field of Machpelah(U) near Mamre (which is at Hebron(V)) in the land of Canaan.(W) 20 So the field and the cave in it were deeded(X) to Abraham by the Hittites as a burial site.(Y)

La tomba dei patriarchi
23 Gli anni della vita di Sara furono centoventisette: questi furono gli anni della vita di Sara. 2 Sara morì a Kiriat-Arba, cioè Ebron, nel paese di Canaan, e Abramo venne a fare il lamento per Sara e a piangerla. 3 Poi Abramo si staccò dal cadavere di lei e parlò agli Hittiti: 4 «Io sono forestiero e di passaggio in mezzo a voi. Datemi la proprietà di un sepolcro in mezzo a voi, perché io possa portar via la salma e seppellirla». 5 Allora gli Hittiti risposero: 6 «Ascolta noi, piuttosto, signore: tu sei un principe di Dio in mezzo a noi: seppellisci il tuo morto nel migliore dei nostri sepolcri. Nessuno di noi ti proibirà di seppellire la tua defunta nel suo sepolcro». 7 Abramo si alzò, si prostrò davanti alla gente del paese, davanti agli Hittiti e parlò loro: 8 «Se è secondo il vostro desiderio che io porti via il mio morto e lo seppellisca, ascoltatemi e insistete per me presso Efron, figlio di Zocar, 9 perché mi dia la sua caverna di Macpela, che è all'estremità del suo campo. Me la ceda per il suo prezzo intero come proprietà sepolcrale in mezzo a voi». 10 Ora Efron stava seduto in mezzo agli Hittiti. Efron l'Hittita rispose ad Abramo, mentre lo ascoltavano gli Hittiti, quanti entravano per la porta della sua città, e disse: 11 «Ascolta me, piuttosto, mio signore: ti cedo il campo con la caverna che vi si trova, in presenza dei figli del mio popolo te la cedo: seppellisci il tuo morto». 12 Allora Abramo si prostrò a lui alla presenza della gente del paese. 13 Parlò ad Efron, mentre lo ascoltava la gente del paese, e disse: «Se solo mi volessi ascoltare: io ti do il prezzo del campo. Accettalo da me, così io seppellirò là il mio morto». 14 Efron rispose ad Abramo: 15 «Ascolta me piuttosto, mio signore: un terreno del valore di quattrocento sicli d'argento che cosa è mai tra me e te? Seppellisci dunque il tuo morto».
16 Abramo accettò le richieste di Efron e Abramo pesò ad Efron il prezzo che questi aveva detto, mentre lo ascoltavano gli Hittiti, cioè quattrocento sicli d'argento, nella moneta corrente sul mercato. 17 Così il campo di Efron che si trovava in Macpela, di fronte a Mamre, il campo e la caverna che vi si trovava e tutti gli alberi che erano dentro il campo e intorno al suo limite, 18 passarono in proprietà ad Abramo, alla presenza degli Hittiti, di quanti entravano nella porta della città. 19 Dopo, Abramo seppellì Sara, sua moglie, nella caverna del campo di Macpela di fronte a Mamre, cioè Ebron, nel paese di Canaan. 20 Il campo e la caverna che vi si trovava passarono dagli Hittiti ad Abramo in proprietà sepolcrale.
