< 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 chu kum jakhat le kum som ni le kum sagi jen ahing in,
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 chu Kiriath-arba kiti muna athi tan, hichu Hebron kiti Canaan gam sunga um ahi, hichun Abraham chu Sarah umlou jeh a lunghel le mitlhi long in achup in ahi.
3 And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Hichun ajinu long adalhah ding jeh in Hit mite ho kom a aseiyin,
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.
“Keima gam chom mi kahin nangho lah a maljin bou kahi. Gambeh neo khat nei choh sah un, chuti le keiman ka jinu hi phaten kivui thei ing'e,” ati.
5 And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Hit mite ho chun Abraham adonbut un,
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.
Ja umtah kapu thuseiyu ngaiyin, nangma Pathen a leng chapa banga kei ho lah a uma keiho lhan khuh aphapen khat'a khun na thilong chu vui jeng in, ka lah uva mihem khat cha jong hi alhan khuh na itpeh a na thilong na vuisah lou ding aum poi,” atiuve.
7 And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the sons of Heth.
Hichun Abraham ading doh in agamsung mipite Hite miho chu salam bol din abohkhup tai.
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,
Abraham'in aseiyin, “Nangman nei kithopi nom kahen ahithei dingle Ephron Zohar chapa koma neisei peh uvin.”
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.
“Ajeh chu agamgi chin a um ama Machpelah songlhan keo khu eipeh theiya ahile ken jong lhan muna kaman jing dingin nangho umpet tah hin aman alhingset in peng kate,” ati.
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,
Ephron chu mipi lah a atou pet ahin, Abraham chu adonbut in midang hon jong athusei chu aja cheh un, Hite mite ho khopi sunga umjouse jah ah hitin aseiye.
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.
“Hithei ponte ka Pakai,” tin Abraham chu adonbut'e, “Lungset tah in ka thusei hi ngaiyin, keiman ka gam sunga adam lai, atong lai, kapeh ding nahi. Tuhin mipi ho masanga nangma kapeh ding nahi, chule nangman naji nu alongdamsa navui thei ahi.”
12 And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Abraham chu agam mipiho masang a abohkhup kit in,
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.
Hichun Abraham'in Ephron le mipi atou cheng ho jah'a aseikit in, “Hithei ponte, lungset tah in ngaiyun, nangho koma ka choh nom lheh e, keiman gam man chu ka peh lhing nom e, ka loinu longdamsa kavui thei na ding in,” ati.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Hichun Ephron in Abraham adonbut in,
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 Pakai lungset tah in ngaiyin hiche gam man hi dangka jali ahiye, amavang eini golcha kingailut nahi mantam ahi? che inlang na loinu long damsa chu gavui tan ati.
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.
Hichun Abraham chun Ephron in aseijat dangka jali chu apetan, hiche lai phat na kailhang thil man dung jui jin, thil kichoh dan ho chu Hit mite lah a tehse hon amu cheh uve.
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
Abraham'in Ephron koma gam Machpelah kiti Mamre koma um chu acho doh tai. Hiche mun in ahop chu ahile atong, adam sung, chule akoma thingphung um jouse jong ahi.
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.
Abraham dinga chu anei agou ahitan, hichea chun Hit mite kelkot kom a chenghon jong ahe soh un ahi.
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.
Phat chomkhat jouvin Abraham'in ajinu Sarah long Machpelah a Mamre koma Hebron kiti Canaan gamsunga avuitan ahi.
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.
Aleimun le aleilaiya songlhan keo chu Hite miten alhan mun dingin Abraham achansah tauve.
