UGenesise 23

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.
