UGenesise 23
USara ufela eKiriyati-Arba
1USara wayeneminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amabili nesikhombisa; le yayiyiminyaka yokuhamba kukaSara.
2USara wafa eKiriyati ka-Arba; yiHebroni ezweni laseKhanani; u-Abrahama weza ukumlilela uSara nokumkhalela.
3U-Abrahama wasukuma phambi kofileyo wakhe, wakhuluma kumadodana kaHeti, wathi:
4Ngingumfokazi nomfokazi kini; nginike indawo yethuna kuwe, ukuze ngimbele ofileyo wami phambi kobuso bami.
5Amadodana kaHeti amphendula u-Abrahama, athi kuye:
6Silalele, nkosi yami, wena uyisikhulu esinamandla phakathi kwethu; yembela ofileyo waKho kwabakhethiweyo bamathuna ethu; akakho kithi oyakugodla ithuna lakhe kuwe, kodwa ukuba ummbele ofileyo wakho.
7U-Abrahama wasukuma, wakhothamela phambi kwabantu bezwe, phambi kwabantwana bakwaHeti.
8Futhi wakhuluma kubo wathi: “Uma kuyisu lenu ukuthi ngimbele ofileyo wami phambi kobuso bami; ngilalele, ungikhulumele izwi elihle ku-Efroni indodana kaSohari;
9ukuze anginike umhume waseMagpela anawo, osekupheleni kwensimu yakhe; ngoba imali elingana layo uzanginika yona ibe yindawo yethuna phakathi kwenu.
10U-Efroni wahlala phakathi kwabantwana bakwaHeti; u-Efroni umHeti wamphendula u-Abrahama ezindlebeni zabantwana bakwaHeti kubo bonke abangena ngesango lomuzi wakhe, wathi:
11Cha, nkosi yami, ngilalele; isiqephu sezwe ngiyakukunika lona, nomhume okuso ngiyakukunika wona; phambi kwamadodana abantu bami ngiyakunika lona; ngcwaba ofileyo wakho.
12U-Abrahama wakhothama phambi kwabantu bezwe.
13Wakhuluma ku-Efroni ezindlebeni zabantu bezwe, wathi: “Kepha uma uthanda ukukunika, ngilalele; ngiyakukunika imali yezwe; yithathe kimi, ngimmbele khona ofileyo wami.
14U-Efroni wamphendula u-Abrahama, wathi kuye:
15Nkosi yami, ngilalele: izwe lilingana namashekeli angamakhulu amane esiliva; yini phakathi kwami nawe? bese ungcwaba ofileyo wakho.
16U-Abrahama wamlalela u-Efroni; U-Abrahama wamlinganisela u-Efron isiliva abeyikhulume ezindlebeni zamadodana kaHeti, amashekele angamakhulu amane esiliva, imali evunywayo kumthengisi.
17Insimu ka-Efroni eyayiseMagiphela ngaphambi kweMamre kanye nomhume, zonke izihlahla ezazikuyo yonke imikhawulo nxazonke zazigadiwe.
18Ku-Abrahama njengempahla phambi kwabantwana bakwaHeti, phambi kwabo bonke abangena ngesango lomuzi wakhe.
19Emva kwalokho u-Abrahama wammbela uSara umkakhe emhumeni wensimu yaseMakaphela phambi kweMamre; yiHebroni ezweni laseKhanani.
20Isiqephu sezwe nomhume okuwo kwanikwa u-Abrahama amadodana kaHeti kube yindawo yethuna.
