Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years. These were the years of the life of Sarah.
Sarah kah a hingnah khaw kum ya kum kul kum rhih lo. Sarah kah a hingnah kum tah amah he coeng ni.
2 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.
Sarah te Kanaan kho Hebron kah Kiriatharba ah duek. Te dongah Sarah rhaengsae ham Abraham cet tih a rhah thil.
3 And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Te phoeiah Abraham te duek kung lamkah thoo tih Kheth ca rhoek te a voek tih,
4 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.
“Kai tah nangmih taengah yinlai neh lampah ni, nangmih kah khohut phuel te kai taengah m'pae mai, ka mikhmuh lamkah ka hlang duek ka up thai ham khaw,” a ti nah.
5 And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Tedae Kheth ca rhoek loh Abraham a doo uh tih amah taengah,
6 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.
“Ka boeipa kaimih ol he hnatun lah. Kaimih khui ah namah ni Pathen khoboei. Kaimih kah phuel saelh khuiah na rhok te up ngawn. Na duek vaengah up ham tah kaimih kah hlang loh a phuel te nang taengah hloh mahpawh,” a ti nauh.
7 And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the sons of Heth.
Te dongah Abraham te thoo tih tolrhum kah pilnam hmai neh Kheth ca rhoek hmaiah bakop.
8 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,
Amih te koep a voek tih, “Ka mikhmuh kah aka duek he up ham nangmih hinglu ah ni a om atah kai ol hnatang uh lamtah kai yueng la Zohar capa Ephron te hloep uh.
9 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.
Anih kah lohma bawt ah aka om amah hut Makpelah kah lungko te kai taengah m'pae mai saeh. Tangka a ting yet la m'pae saeh lamtah nang lakli ah kamah kah phuel khohut la om saeh,” a ti nah.
10 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,
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,
11 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.
“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.
12 And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Te dongah Abraham te tolrhum pilnam hmai ah bakop tih,
13 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.
tolrhum pilnam kah hna yaak ah Ephron te, “Nang khaw kai ol he hnatun mai. Kai lamkah khohmuen phu tangka kan paek vetih na doe koinih ka rhok khaw pahoi ka up sue,” a ti nah.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Tedae Ephron loh Abraham te a doo tih amah taengah,
15 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.
“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.
16 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.
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.
17 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
Te dongah Mamre khohmuen kaep, Makpelah kah Ephron lo neh a khuikah lungko te khaw, lohma li neh a kaepvai rhi boeih kah thing boeih khaw,
18 to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
khopuei vongka la aka lo boeih hmai neh Kheth ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Abraham kah kho lai la a saii.
19 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.
Te phoei daengah Kanaan kho Hebron Mamre kaep, Makpelah lo kah lungko ah a yuu Sarah te Abraham loh a up.
20 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.
Te dongah lohma neh a khuikah lungko te Kheth ca rhoek taeng lamkah Abraham phuel khohut la a hlaih.
