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。 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.
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。 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.
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, 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,
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。 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.
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, 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,
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。 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.
