< 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 teh kum 127 touh a hring. Sarah e a hringnae kum teh ama het doeh toe.
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 teh Kanaan ram Hebron tie Kiriatharba kho dawk a due. Abraham hai Sarah kecu dawk khuika hanelah a tho.
3 And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Hahoi Abraham teh a yu e ro hmalah a kangdue teh Hit taminaw koe,
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 teh nangmouh koe imyin hoi kahlong tami lah doeh ka o. Ka yu e ro ka pakawp nahanelah nangmouh koe e talai lem na poe awh haw atipouh.
5 And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Hit taminaw ni Abraham koe a dei pouh e teh,
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 bawipa kaimae lawk thai haw, nang teh kaimouh rahak vah Cathut e khobawi doeh. Hatdawkvah na ngai e hmuen rawi nateh pakawp ngoun. Na tami ro pakawp nahanelah apinihai phuen hmuen pasoung hoeh laipalah awm mahoeh, telah atipouh awh.
7 And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the sons of Heth.
Hathnukkhu, Abraham teh a thaw teh, Hit taminaw hoi hote ram dawk e taminaw hmalah a tabo.
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,
Hahoi, ahnimouh koe, ka tami ro pakawp nahanelah, na lungkuep awh pawiteh ka lawk thai awh haw.
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.
Nangmouh koe, phuen hmuen ka tawn thai nahanelah, Zohar capa Ephron ni, amae law apout koe lah kaawm e Makpelah talungkhu hah, aphu hoi kâki lah kai koe a yo thai nahane, ahni koe na het pouh haw loe, telah atipouh.
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,
Hat torei teh Hit taminaw koe Ephron teh a tahung. Hit tami Ephron ni khopui longkha dawk hoi ka kâen e Hit taminaw pueng ni a thainae koe,
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.
Telah nahoeh, ka bawipa law na poe awh, law thung kaawm e talungkhu hai na poe awh. Ka miphunnaw hmaitung roeroe na poe awh, na tami ro teh pakawp leih telah Abraham koe atipouh.
12 And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Abraham teh, hote ram dawk e taminaw hmalah a tabo teh,
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.
Ram dawk e taminaw ni a thainae koe Ephron hanelah na lungkuep pawiteh thai haw, law hmuen phu teh na poe han. Aphu dâw leih, hote hmuen koe ka tami ro teh ka pakawp han atipouh.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Ephron ni Abraham koe,
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 bawipa, ka lawk thai haw, ka law hmuen phu tangka (shekel) cumpali touh doeh. Nang hoi kai hanlah banghai bang nahoeh. Na tami ro teh pakawp yaw kaw telah atipouh.
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 ni a lungkuepkhai teh, Hit taminaw ni a thainae koe tangka shekel cumpali touh hno kayawtnaw ni a khing e patetlah a khing teh a poe.
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
Hatdawkvah Mamre kho hoi kanîtholah, Makpelah hmuen koe kaawm e Ephron e law, law thung kaawm e talungkhu hoi thingkungnaw, lawri koe kaawm e thingkung pueng,
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.
Hit taminaw hoi khopui longkha koe ka tho e tami pueng e hmaitung vah Abraham ni coe hanelah a poe.
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.
Hathnukkhu, Abraham ni Mamre kho, Hebron hoi kanîtholah, Makpelah law dawk e talungkhu dawk a yu Sarah teh a pakawp.
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.
Hatdawkvah lawhmuen hoi talungkhu teh, Abraham ni phuen hmuen lah, a tawn hanelah, Hit taminaw ni a poe.
