Genesis 23
King James Version
23 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
2 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
4 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
17 And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
20 And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.

亞伯拉罕買地埋葬撒拉
23 撒拉享壽一百二十七歲，這是撒拉一生的歲數。 2 撒拉死在迦南地的基列．亞巴，就是希伯崙；亞伯拉罕進去為撒拉哀慟哭號。 3 亞伯拉罕從死者面前起來，對赫人說： 4 “我是在你們中間寄居的外族人，求你們在你們中間給我一塊墳地作產業，使我可以埋葬我死了的人，使她不露在我面前。” 5 赫人回答亞伯拉罕，說： 6 “我主請聽，你在我們中間是一位尊貴的王子，你可以在我們最好的墳地裡埋葬你死了的人，我們必沒有人阻止你在他的墳地埋葬你死了的人。” 7 於是，亞伯拉罕起來，向當地的赫人下拜， 8 對他們說：“你們若有意使我埋葬我死了的人，使她不露在我的眼前，就請聽我的話，為我請求瑣轄的兒子以弗崙， 9 叫他把他所擁有的，田頭上那麥比拉洞賣給我。他可以按著十足的價銀賣給我，使我在你們中間有產業作墳地。” 10 那時，以弗崙正坐在赫人中間。於是，赫人以弗崙就回答亞伯拉罕，所有來到城門口的赫人都聽見他說： 11 “我主，不要這樣，請聽我說，這塊田我送給你，連其中的洞我也送給你。我在我的族人眼前送給你，讓你可以埋葬你死了的人。” 12 亞伯拉罕就在當地的人面前下拜， 13 然後在當地的人面前對以弗崙說：“請聽我說，如果你願意，我必定把地的價銀給你，請你收下吧，讓我可以在那裡埋葬我死了的人。” 14 以弗崙回答亞伯拉罕，對他說： 15 “我主，請聽我說，一塊值四百塊（四千五百克）銀子的田地，在你我之間，算得甚麼呢？你埋葬你死了的人吧。” 16 亞伯拉罕同意以弗崙說的價銀，就照著他在赫人面前所說的，拿商人通用的銀子，稱了四百塊（四千五百克）銀子給以弗崙。
17 於是，以弗崙在麥比拉，在幔利前面的那塊地，包括那塊田和其中的洞，田中和四周所有的樹木， 18 都在赫人眼前，就是在所有來到城門口的赫人眼前，歸給亞伯拉罕作產業。 19 這事以後，亞伯拉罕把自己的妻子撒拉埋在迦南地，幔利前面麥比拉田間的洞裡。幔利就是希伯崙。 20 這樣，那塊田和田中的洞，就從赫人歸給了亞伯拉罕為產業作墳地。

Namatay si Sara at Bumili si Abraham ng Libingan
23 Nabuhay si Sara nang 127 taon. 2 Namatay siya sa Lunsod ng Arba, na tinatawag ding Hebron sa lupain ng Canaan. Ito'y labis na ikinalungkot ni Abraham.
3 Sandaling iniwan ni Abraham ang bangkay at nakipag-usap sa mga Heteo. Pakiusap niya, 4 “Ako'y(A) isang dayuhan at nakikitira lamang sa inyong lupain. Kung maaari, pagbilhan ninyo ako ng lupang mapaglilibingan sa aking asawa.”
5 Sumagot ang mga Heteo, 6 “Kinikilala ka naming isang dakilang pinuno; pumili ka na ng lugar na gusto mo para paglibingan sa iyong asawa. Ikalulugod namin na ibigay sa inyo ang bahagi ng inyong mapipili.”
7 Bilang pasasalamat, yumuko si Abraham sa harapan ng mga tao 8 at sinabi niya, “Kung talagang hindi kayo tutol na dito ko ilibing ang aking asawa, tulungan ninyo akong makiusap kay Efron na anak ni Zohar. 9 Nais kong saksihan ninyo ang pagbili ko sa yungib na nasa tabi ng kanyang lupain sa Macpela, upang ito'y gawing libingan. Babayaran ko siya sa hustong halaga.”
10 Nagkataong si Efron ay kasama ng nagkakatipong mga Heteo sa may pintuan ng lunsod. Kaya, sinabi niya kay Abraham na naririnig ng lahat, 11 “Hindi lamang ang yungib, kundi pati ang lupang kinalalagyan nito ay ibinibigay ko na rin sa inyo upang paglibingan sa inyong asawa. Saksi ko ang lahat ng naririto.”
12 Muling yumuko si Abraham sa harapan ng mga naroroon, 13 at sinabi niya kay Efron na naririnig ng lahat, “Kung maaari'y pakinggan mo ako. Bibilhin ko ang buong lupain. Tanggapin mo ang tamang kabayaran upang mailibing ko roon ang aking asawa.”
14 Sumagot si Efron kay Abraham, 15 “Apatnaraang pirasong pilak po ang halaga ng lupa. Huwag na nating pag-usapan; basta't paglibingan na ninyo.” 16 Nagkasundo sila. Sa harapan ng mga tao'y tumimbang si Abraham ng halagang apatnaraang pirasong pilak, ayon sa halaga ng salaping umiiral noon sa pamilihan.
17 Kaya't ang lupang iyon ni Efron sa Macpela sa silangan ng Mamre, pati na ang yungib at mga punongkahoy sa paligid nito 18 ay naging pag-aari ni Abraham. Sinaksihan ito ng mga Heteong dumalo sa pagpupulong na iyon sa may pintuan ng lunsod. 19 At inilibing nga ni Abraham si Sara sa yungib na iyon sa Macpela, silangan ng Mamre, sa lupain ng Canaan. Ito'y tinatawag ngayong Hebron. 20 Ang lupa ngang iyon at ang yungib na dating pag-aari ng mga Heteo ay binili ni Abraham upang gawin niyang libingan.

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)
