1 Sela da ode 127 esalu.
Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
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.
Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da ea uda bogoi da: i hodo amoga ouesalu, wa: legadole Hidaide dunuma asili, amane sia: i,
Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, 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 stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
5 Hidaide dunu da A: ibalaha: mema bu adole i,
The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
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.”
“Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God amongst us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
7 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da wa: legadole, amo soge esalebe dunu amo Hidaide, ilima begudui.
Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
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.
He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
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.”
that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me amongst you as a possession for a burial place.”
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 middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his 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!”
“No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
12 A: ibalaha: me da amo soge fi dunu ilima bu begudui,
Abraham bowed himself down 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.”
He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
14 Ifalone da A: ibalaha: mema bu adole i,
Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 “Ada! Nabima! Amo soge bidi lamu defei da silifa fage 400 fawane. Amo muni da anima hamedei liligi. Dia bogoi uli dogoma!”
“My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore 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.
Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.
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.
So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded
18 Hidaide dunu huluane logo holeiga gilisi da amo hou ba: beba: le, amo soge da wali A: ibalaha: me ea soge ilegei.
to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his 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, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
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.
The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham by the children of Heth as a possession for a burial place.
