2 Notho Kiriath Arba (ma tiende ni Hebron) e piny Kanaan, kendo Ibrahim noywago Sara kendo nodengo ahinya.
Sarah died in Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan. Abraham mourned and wept for Sarah.
3 Eka Ibrahim noa malo e but ringre chiege kendo owuoyo gi jo-Hiti kowachonegi niya,
Then Abraham rose up and went from his dead wife, 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 foreigner among you. Please grant me a property for a burial place among you, so that I may bury my dead.”
5 Jo-Hiti nodwoko Ibrahim niya,
The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying,
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.”
“Listen to us, my master. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb, so that you may bury your dead.”
7 Eka Ibrahim nochungʼ mokulore e nyim jo-Hiti.
Abraham arose and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth.
8 Nowachonegi niya, “Ka uyie mondo aik ngʼata, to winjauru kendo ukwana Efron wuod Zohar
He spoke to them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead, then hear me and plead with Ephron son of Zohar, for me.
9 mondo mi ousna bure man Makpela manie giko puothe. Kwayeuru mondo ousnago e nengo mowinjore mondo obed kara mar yiko.”
Ask him to sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he owns, which is at the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me publicly as a property for a burial 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 among the sons of Heth, and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth, of all those who had come into 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 master, hear me. I give you the field, and the cave that is in it. I give it to you in the presence of the sons of my people. I give it to you to bury your dead.”
12 Ibrahim nochako okulore e nyim jo-Hiti,
Then 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.”
He spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “But if you are willing, please hear me. I will pay for the field. Take the money from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
14 Efron nodwoko Ibrahim niya,
Ephron answered Abraham, saying,
15 “Winja ruodha; nengo lowono oromo kilo angʼwen gi nus mar fedha. To en angʼo mathagowa; ik ngʼati.”
“Please, my master, listen to me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? Bury your 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.
Abraham listened to Ephron and Abraham weighed out to Ephron the amount of silver that he had spoken in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the standard measurement of the merchants.
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 next to Mamre, that is, the field, the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field and all around its border, passed
18 nodoko mwandu mag Ibrahim e nyim jo-Hiti duto mane obiro kaka joneno e dhoranga dala.
to Abraham by purchase in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all those who had come into the gate of his city.

After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which is next to Mamre, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan.

So the field and the cave in it passed to Abraham as a property for a burial place from the sons of Heth.
