| 1 | And Sara lived a hundred and twenty-seven years. | Vixit autem Sara centum viginti septem annis. | Ἐγένετο δὲ ἡ ζωὴ Σάῤῥας, ἔτη ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιεπτά. |
| 2 | And she died in the city of Arbee which is Hebron, in the land of Chanaan: and Abraham came to mourn and weep for her. | Et mortua est in civitate Arbee, quae est Hebron, in terra Chanaan: venitque Abraham ut plangeret et fleret eam. | Καὶ ἀπέθανε Σάῤῥα ἐν πόλει Ἀρβὸκ, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ κοιλώματι· αὕτη ἔστι Χεβρὼν ἐν τῇ γῇ Χαναάν ἦλθε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ κόψασθαι Σάῤῥαν, καὶ πενθῆσαι. |
| 3 | And after he rose up from the funeral obsequies, he spoke to the children of Heth, saying: | Cumque surrexisset ab officio funeris, locutus est ad filios Heth, dicens: | Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἁβραὰμ ἀπὸ τοῦ νεκροῦ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἁβραὰμ τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ Χὲτ, λέγων, |
| 4 | I am a stranger and sojourner among you: give me the right of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead. | Advena sum et peregrinus apud vos: date mihi ius sepulchri vobiscum, ut sepeliam mortuum meum. | Πάροικος καὶ παρεπίδημος ἐγώ εἰμι μεθʼ ὑμῶν· δότε μοι οὖν κτῆσιν τάφου μεθʼ ὑμῶν, καὶ θάψω τὸν νεκρόν μου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ. |
| 5 | The children of Heth answered, saying: | Responderunt filii Heth, dicentes: | Ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Χὲτ πρὸς Ἁβραὰμ, λέγοντες, μὴ, κύριε. |
| 6 | My 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. | Audi nos, domine: princeps Dei es apud nos: in electis sepulchris nostris sepeli mortuum tuum, nullusque te prohibere poterit quin in monumento eius sepelias mortuum tuum. | Ἄκουσον δὲ ἡμῶν· βασιλεὺς παρὰ Θεοῦ σὺ εἶ ἐν ἡμῖν· ἐν τοῖς ἐκλεκτοῖς μνημείοις ἡμῶν θάψον τὸν νεκρόν σου· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἡμῶν οὐ μὴ κωλύσει τὸ μνημεῖον αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ σοῦ, τοῦ θάψαι τὸν νεκρόν σου ἐκεῖ. |
| 7 | Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit the children of Heth: | Surrexit Abraham, et adoravit populum terrae, filios videlicet Heth: | Ἀναστὰς δὲ Ἁβραὰμ προσεκύνησε τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς, τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ Χέτ. |
| 8 | And 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. | dixitque ad eos: Si placet animae vestrae ut sepeliam mortuum meum, audite me, et intercedite pro me apud Ephron filium Seor: | Καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἁβραὰμ, λέγων, εἰ ἔχετε τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν, ὥστε θάψαι τὸν νεκρόν μου ἀπὸ προσώπου μου, ἀκούσατέ μου, καὶ λαλήσατε περὶ ἐμοῦ Ἐφρὼν τῷ τοῦ Σαάρ. |
| 9 | That 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. | ut det mihi speluncam duplicem, quam habet in extrema parte agri sui: pecunia digna tradat eam mihi coram vobis in possessionem sepulchri. | Καὶ δότω μοι τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν, ὅ ἐστιν αὐτῷ, τὸ ὂν ἐν μέρει τοῦ ἀγροῦ αὐτοῦ· ἀργυρίου τοῦ ἀξίου δότε μοι αὐτὸ ἐν ὑμῖν εἰς κτῆσιν μνημείου. |
| 10 | Now 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: | Habitabat autem Ephron in medio filiorum Heth. Responditque Ephron ad Abraham, cunctis audientibus qui ingrediebantur portam civitatis illius, dicens: | Ἐφρὼν δὲ ἐκάθητο ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν Χέτ· ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἐφρὼν ὁ Χετταῖος πρὸς Ἁβραὰμ εἶπεν, ἀκουόντων τῶν υἱῶν Χὲτ, καὶ τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὴν πόλιν πάντων, λέγων, |
| 11 | Let 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. | Nequaquam ita fiat, domine mi, sed tu magis ausculta quod loquor. Agrum trado tibi, et speluncam quae in eo est, praesentibus filiis populi mei; sepeli mortuum tuum. | Παρʼ ἐμοὶ γενοῦ, κύριε, καὶ ἄκουσόν μου· τὸν ἀγρὸν, καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ ἐν αὐτῷ, σοὶ δίδωμι· ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν πολιτῶν μου δέδωκά σοι· θάψον τὸν νεκρόν σου. |
| 12 | Abraham bowed down before the people of the land, | Adoravit Abraham coram populo terrae. | Καὶ προσεκύνησεν Ἁβραὰμ ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς. |
| 13 | And 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. | Et locutus est ad Ephron circumstante plebe: Quaeso ut audias me: dabo pecuniam pro agro: suscipe eam, et sic sepeliam mortuum meum in eo. | Καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἐφρὼν εἰς τὰ ὦτα ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς, ἐπειδὴ πρὸς ἐμοῦ εἶ, ἄκουσόν μου· τὸ ἀργύριον τοῦ ἀγροῦ λάβε παρʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ θάψω τὸν νεκρόν μου ἐκεῖ. |
| 14 | And Ephron answered: | Responditque Ephron: | Ἀπεκρίθη δὲ Ἐφρὼν τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, λέγων, |
| 15 | My 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. | Domine mi, audi me: terra, quam postulas, quadringentis siclis argenti valet: istud est pretium inter me et te: sed quantum est hoc? sepeli mortuum tuum. | Οὐχὶ, κύριε· ἀκήκοα γὰρ, γῆ τετρακοσίων διδράχμων ἀργύριου· ἀλλὰ τί ἂν εἴη τοῦτο ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ; σὺ δὲ τὸν νεκρόν σου θάψον. |
| 16 | And 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. | Quod cum audisset Abraham, appendit pecuniam, quam Ephron postulaverat, audientibus filiis Heth, quadringentos siclos argenti probatae monetae publicae. | καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἁβραὰμ τοῦ Ἐφρών· καὶ ἀπεκατέστησεν Ἁβραὰμ τῷ Ἐφρὼν τὸ ἀργύριον, ὃ ἐλάλησεν εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῶν υἱῶν Χὲτ, τετρακόσια δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου δοκίμου ἐμπόροις. |
| 17 | And 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, | Confirmatusque est ager quondam Ephronis, in quo erat spelunca duplex, respiciens Mambre, tam ipse, quam spelunca, et omnes arbores eius in cunctis terminis eius per circuitum, | Καὶ ἔστη ὁ ἀγρὸς Ἐφρών, ὃς ἦν ἐν τῷ διπλῷ σπηλαίῳ, ὅς ἐστι κατὰ πρόσωπον Μαμβρῆ, ὁ ἀγρὸς καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον, ὃ ἦν ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ πᾶν δένδρον, ὃ ἦν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, καὶ πᾶν ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ, |
| 18 | Was 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. | Abrahae in possessionem, videntibus filiis Heth, et cunctis qui intrabant portam civitatis illius. | τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, εἰς κτῆσιν ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν Χὲτ, καὶ πάντων τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὴν πόλιν. |
| 19 | And 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. | Atque ita sepelivit Abraham Saram uxorem suam in spelunca agri duplici, quae respiciebat Mambre. Haec est Hebron in terra Chanaan. | Μετὰ ταῦτα ἔθαψεν Ἁβραὰμ Σάῤῥαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τῷ διπλῷ, ὅ ἐστιν ἀπέναντι Μαμβρῆ· αὕτη ἐστὶ Χεβρὼν ἐν τῇ γῇ Χαναάν. |
| 20 | And 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. | Et confirmatus est ager, et antrum quod erat in eo, Abrahae in possessionem monumenti a filiis Heth. | Καὶ ἐκυρώθη ὁ ἀγρὸς καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ὃ ἦν ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ Ἁβραὰμ εἰς κτῆσιν τάφου, παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Χέτ. |
