Chakruok 23
1 Sara nodak kuom higni mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabiriyo.
And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years. These were the years of the life of Sarah.
2 Notho Kiriath Arba (ma tiende ni Hebron) e piny Kanaan, kendo Ibrahim noywago Sara kendo nodengo ahinya.
And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 Eka Ibrahim noa malo e but ringre chiege kendo owuoyo gi jo-Hiti kowachonegi niya,
And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
4 “An mana jadak kendo wendo e kindu. Miyauru kamoro angʼiew moromo kar yiko.”
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you. Give me a possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
5 Jo-Hiti nodwoko Ibrahim niya,
And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6 “Jaduongʼ, winjwa in jatelo maduongʼ e kindwa. Ik aika ngʼati e bur-wa moro amora miyiero. Onge ngʼato e dierwa mabiro tami yiko ngʼati e bure.”
Hear us, my lord. Thou are a prince of God among us. Bury thy dead in our choice sepulchers. None of us shall withhold from thee his sepulcher, but that thou may bury thy dead.
7 Eka Ibrahim nochungʼ mokulore e nyim jo-Hiti.
And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the sons of Heth.
8 Nowachonegi niya, “Ka uyie mondo aik ngʼata, to winjauru kendo ukwana Efron wuod Zohar
And he conversed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
9 mondo mi ousna bure man Makpela manie giko puothe. Kwayeuru mondo ousnago e nengo mowinjore mondo obed kara mar yiko.”
that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. Let him give it to me for the full price in the midst of you for a possession of a burying place.
10 Efron ja-Hiti noyudo obet piny e kind jog-gi kendo nodwoko Ibrahim ka jo-Hiti duto ma nobiro e dhoranga dalano winjo.
Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the sons of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
11 Nowachone niya, “Ooyo ruodha, winja, amiyi puodho, kendo amiyi bur man kanyo. Amiyigo e nyim jowagi duto mondo iyikie ngʼati motho.”
No, my lord, hear me. I give thee the field. And the cave that is in it, I give it to thee. I give it to thee in the presence of the sons of my people. Bury thy dead.
12 Ibrahim nochako okulore e nyim jo-Hiti,
And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 kendo nowacho ne Efron ka giwinjo niya, “Ka iyie to winja. Abiro chulo nengo mar puodhono. Yie achuli mondo mi aik ngʼata kanyo.”
And he spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou will, I pray thee, hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Efron nodwoko Ibrahim niya,
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 “Winja ruodha; nengo lowono oromo kilo angʼwen gi nus mar fedha. To en angʼo mathagowa; ik ngʼati.”
My lord, hearken to me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and thee? Therefore bury thy dead.
16 Ibrahim noyie gi dwaro mar Efron kendo nomiye nengo mar puodho mane osewacho ka jo-Hiti winjo: ma en kilo angʼwen gi nus mar fedha kaluwore gi rapim mane jo-ohala tiyogo.
And Abraham hearkened to Ephron. And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver that he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
17 Omiyo puoth Efron man Makpela machiegni gi Mamre kaachiel gi lowo kod bur mosekuny gi yien duto mane ni e puodhono,
So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the border of it round about, were made sure
18 nodoko mwandu mag Ibrahim e nyim jo-Hiti duto mane obiro kaka joneno e dhoranga dala.
to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
19 Bangʼe Ibrahim noiko chiege Sara e bur mane ni e puodho ma Makpela machiegni gi Mamre (man Hebron) e piny Kanaan.
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
20 Kuom mano puodhono gi bur mane nitie jo-Hiti nomiyo Ibrahim kaka kare mar yiko.
And the field, and the cave that is in it, were made sure to Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth.
