1 Sarah teh kum 127 touh a hring. Sarah e a hringnae kum teh ama het doeh toe.
And the life of Sarrha was an hundred and twenty-seven years.
2 Sarah teh Kanaan ram Hebron tie Kiriatharba kho dawk a due. Abraham hai Sarah kecu dawk khuika hanelah a tho.
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 Hahoi Abraham teh a yu e ro hmalah a kangdue teh Hit taminaw koe,
And Abraam stood up from before his dead; and Abraam spoke to the sons of Chet, saying,
4 Kai teh nangmouh koe imyin hoi kahlong tami lah doeh ka o. Ka yu e ro ka pakawp nahanelah nangmouh koe e talai lem na poe awh haw atipouh.
I am a sojourner and a stranger amongst you, give me therefore possession of a burying-place amongst you, and I will bury my dead away from me.
5 Hit taminaw ni Abraham koe a dei pouh e teh,
And the sons of Chet answered to Abraam, saying, Not so, Sir,
6 Ka bawipa kaimae lawk thai haw, nang teh kaimouh rahak vah Cathut e khobawi doeh. Hatdawkvah na ngai e hmuen rawi nateh pakawp ngoun. Na tami ro pakawp nahanelah apinihai phuen hmuen pasoung hoeh laipalah awm mahoeh, telah atipouh awh.
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 Hathnukkhu, Abraham teh a thaw teh, Hit taminaw hoi hote ram dawk e taminaw hmalah a tabo.
And Abraam rose up and did obeisance to the people of the land, to the sons of Chet.
8 Hahoi, ahnimouh koe, ka tami ro pakawp nahanelah, na lungkuep awh pawiteh ka lawk thai awh haw.
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 Nangmouh koe, phuen hmuen ka tawn thai nahanelah, Zohar capa Ephron ni, amae law apout koe lah kaawm e Makpelah talungkhu hah, aphu hoi kâki lah kai koe a yo thai nahane, ahni koe na het pouh haw loe, telah atipouh.
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 amongst you.
10 Hat torei teh Hit taminaw koe Ephron teh a tahung. Hit tami Ephron ni khopui longkha dawk hoi ka kâen e Hit taminaw pueng ni a thainae koe,
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 Telah nahoeh, ka bawipa law na poe awh, law thung kaawm e talungkhu hai na poe awh. Ka miphunnaw hmaitung roeroe na poe awh, na tami ro teh pakawp leih telah Abraham koe atipouh.
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 Abraham teh, hote ram dawk e taminaw hmalah a tabo teh,
And Abraam did obeisance before the people of the land.
13 Ram dawk e taminaw ni a thainae koe Ephron hanelah na lungkuep pawiteh thai haw, law hmuen phu teh na poe han. Aphu dâw leih, hote hmuen koe ka tami ro teh ka pakawp han atipouh.
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 Ephron ni Abraham koe,
But Ephron answered Abraam, saying,
15 Ka bawipa, ka lawk thai haw, ka law hmuen phu tangka (shekel) cumpali touh doeh. Nang hoi kai hanlah banghai bang nahoeh. Na tami ro teh pakawp yaw kaw telah atipouh.
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 Abraham ni a lungkuepkhai teh, Hit taminaw ni a thainae koe tangka shekel cumpali touh hno kayawtnaw ni a khing e patetlah a khing teh a poe.
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 Hatdawkvah Mamre kho hoi kanîtholah, Makpelah hmuen koe kaawm e Ephron e law, law thung kaawm e talungkhu hoi thingkungnaw, lawri koe kaawm e thingkung pueng,
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 Hit taminaw hoi khopui longkha koe ka tho e tami pueng e hmaitung vah Abraham ni coe hanelah a poe.
to Abraam for a possession, before the sons of Chet, and all that entered into the city.
19 Hathnukkhu, Abraham ni Mamre kho, Hebron hoi kanîtholah, Makpelah law dawk e talungkhu dawk a yu Sarah teh a pakawp.
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 Hatdawkvah lawhmuen hoi talungkhu teh, Abraham ni phuen hmuen lah, a tawn hanelah, Hit taminaw ni a poe.
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.
