Chakruok 23
1 Sara nodak kuom higni mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabiriyo.
And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: [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 Kirjath-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 stood up from before his dead, and spake unto 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 buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
5 Jo-Hiti nodwoko Ibrahim niya,
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto 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 [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.
7 Eka Ibrahim nochungʼ mokulore e nyim jo-Hiti.
And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, [even] to the children of Heth.
8 Nowachonegi niya, “Ka uyie mondo aik ngʼata, to winjauru kendo ukwana Efron wuod Zohar
And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat 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 hath, which [is] in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
10 Efron ja-Hiti noyudo obet piny e kind jog-gi kendo nodwoko Ibrahim ka jo-Hiti duto ma nobiro e dhoranga dalano winjo.
And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, [even] of all that 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.”
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 Ibrahim nochako okulore e nyim jo-Hiti,
And Abraham bowed down himself 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 spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Efron nodwoko Ibrahim niya,
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
15 “Winja ruodha; nengo lowono oromo kilo angʼwen gi nus mar fedha. To en angʼo mathagowa; ik ngʼati.”
My lord, hearken unto me: the land [is worth] four hundred shekels of silver; what [is] that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore 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 unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which 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,
And the field of Ephron, which [was] in Machpelah, which [was] before Mamre, the field, and the cave which [was] therein, and all the trees that [were] in the field, that [were] in all the borders round about, were made sure
18 nodoko mwandu mag Ibrahim e nyim jo-Hiti duto mane obiro kaka joneno e dhoranga dala.
Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that 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] therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
