Mui 23
1 Sela da ode 127 esalu.
And the life of Sarrha was an hundred and twenty-seven years.
2 Amalalu, e da Hibalone moilai bai bagade, Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini, amoga bogoi. A: ibalaha: me da amoga ea udama asigiba: le, dimusa: asi.
And Sarrha died in the city of Arboc, which is in the valley, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan; and Abraam came to lament for Sarrha and to mourn.
3 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da ea uda bogoi da: i hodo amoga ouesalu, wa: legadole Hidaide dunuma asili, amane sia: i,
And Abraam stood up from before his dead; and Abraam spoke to the sons of Chet, saying,
4 “Na da dilia fi amo ganodini ga fi dunu esala. Na uda bogoi uli dogoma: ne, soge fonobahadi nama bidi lama.”
I am a sojourner and a stranger among you, give me therefore possession of a burying-place among you, and I will bury my dead away from me.
5 Hidaide dunu da A: ibalaha: mema bu adole i,
And the sons of Chet answered to Abraam, saying, Not so, Sir,
6 “Ada! Ninia sia: nabima! Di da ninima gasa bagade ouligisu dunu agoane. Ninia bogoi uli dogoi sogebiga, uli dogoi noga: idafa lama. Ninia huluane da baligili noga: idafa uli dogoi dima imunu hame higamu.”
but hear us; you are in the midst of us a king from God; bury your dead in our choice sepulchres, for not one of us will by any means withhold his sepulchre from you, so that you should not bury your dead there.
7 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da wa: legadole, amo soge esalebe dunu amo Hidaide, ilima begudui.
And Abraam rose up and did obeisance to the people of the land, to the sons of Chet.
8 E da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da na bogoi uli dogomusa: hahawane ba: i galea, defea, dilia Ifalone (Souha ea mano) amoma na fidima: ne adole ba: ma.
And Abraam spoke to them, saying, If you have it in your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, listen to me, and speak for me to Ephron the son Saar.
9 Ea soge la: idi ganodini da Ma: gafila gele gelabo. Amo e da gaguiba: le, e da amo ea muni defei na da dilia fi amo ganodini na bogoi uli dogomusa: bidi lama: ne, dilia ema adole ba: ma.”
And let him give me the double cave which he has, which is in a part of his field, let him give it me for the money it is worth for possession of a burying-place among you.
10 Ifalone e da amo Hidaide fi dunu ea fi ganodini esalebe ba: i. Ilia huluane da moilai logo holeiga gilisi. E da Hidaide dunu huluane nabima: ne, A:ibalaha: mema amane adole i,
Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Chet, and Ephron the Chettite answered Abraam and spoke in the hearing of the sons of Chet, and of all who entered the city, saying,
11 “Hame mabu ada! Na sia: nabima! Amo soge amola gele gelabo amo ganodini diala, na da udigili dima imunu. Na dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, na da dima iaha. Dia bogoi amoga uli dogoma!”
Attend to me, my lord, and hear me, I give to you the field and the cave which is in it; I have given it you before all my country men; bury your dead.
12 A: ibalaha: me da amo soge fi dunu ilima bu begudui,
And Abraam did obeisance before the people of the land.
13 Ilia huluane nabima: ne, e da Ifalonema amane sia: i, “Na da dilima na sia: nabima: ne edegesa. Na da amo soge huluane ea ilegei amo defele bidi lamu. Amo muni lama. Na da na bogoi amoga uli dogomu galebe.”
And he said in the ears of Ephron before the people of the land, Since you are on my side, hear me; take the price of the field from me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Ifalone da A: ibalaha: mema bu adole i,
But Ephron answered Abraam, saying,
15 “Ada! Nabima! Amo soge bidi lamu defei da silifa fage 400 fawane. Amo muni da anima hamedei liligi. Dia bogoi uli dogoma!”
Nay, my lord, I have heard indeed, the land [is worth] four hundred silver didrachmas, but what can this be between me and you? nay, do you bury your dead.
16 A: ibalaha: me da Ifalone ea sia: i hahawane ba: i. E da Hidaide dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, muni ea sia: i defele Ifalonema i. Defei da silifa fage 400 amo ea dioi ilegei defele da bidiga lasu dunu ilia hou defele i.
And Abraam listened to Ephron, and Abraam rendered to Ephron the money, which he mentioned in the ears of the sons of Chet, four hundred didrachmas of silver approved with merchants.
17 Amaiba: le, Ifalone ea sogebi amo da Ma: gafila soge ganodini Ma: melei soge gadenene, - sogebi, gele gelabo amo ganodini dialu amola ifa huluane amo sogebi ganodini, huluane A: ibalaha: me da lai dagoi.
And the field of Ephron, which was in Double Cave, which is opposite Mambre, the field and the cave, which was in it, and every tree which was in the field, and whatever is in its borders round about, were made sure in its borders round about, were made sure
18 Hidaide dunu huluane logo holeiga gilisi da amo hou ba: beba: le, amo soge da wali A: ibalaha: me ea soge ilegei.
to Abraam for a possession, before the sons of Chet, and all that entered into the city.
19 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da ea uda Sela amo gele gelabo Ma: gafila sogebi ganodini (Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini) uli dogone sali.
After this Abraam buried Sarrha his wife in the Double Cave of the field, which is opposite Mambre, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan.
20 Amola Ma: gafila sogebi amola gele gelabo amo ganodini gala musa: da Hidaide dunu da gagui, amo A: ibalaha: me ea fi bogoi uli dogomusa: bidi lai dagoi.
So the field and the cave which was in it were made sure to Abraam for possession of a burying place, by the sons of Chet.
