And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke unto the children of Heth, saying:

And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him:

'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.'

that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in the midst of you for a possession of a burying-place.'
10 Te vaengah Kheth ca rhoek lakli ah Ephron ngol. Te dongah Khitti hoel Ephron loh khopuei vongka la aka lo Kheth ca rhoek boeih kah a hna ah Abraham te a doo tih,
Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying:
11 “Pawh, ka boeipa, kai ol hnatun lah, khohmuen te nang kan paek coeng dongah a khuikah lungko khaw ka pilnam koca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah nang kan paek vanbangla nang kan paek phuel ah na rhok khaw up,” a ti nah.
'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.'
12 Te dongah Abraham te tolrhum pilnam hmai ah bakop tih,
And Abraham bowed down before the people of the land.

And he spoke unto Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying: 'But if thou wilt, I pray thee, hear me: I will give the price of the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.'
14 Tedae Ephron loh Abraham te a doo tih amah taengah,
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him:
15 “Ka boeipa, kai ol hnatun lah. Khohmuen phu tangka shekel ya li te kai neh nang laklo ah bahamnim ca? Tahae ah khaw na rhok te up ngawn,” a ti nah.
'My lord, hearken unto me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.'
16 Abraham loh Ephron te a rhoi. Te dongah thimpom taengkah vanbangla tangka shekel ya li te Kheth ca rhoek kah hna yaak ah a tae tih Abraham loh Ephron ham tangka a thuek pah.
And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
