Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years. These were the years of the life of Sarah.
Saaraan waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi digdamii torba jiraatte; barri jireenya Saaraas kanuma ture.
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.
Isheenis Kiriyaati Arbaaq jechuunis Kebroon biyya Kanaʼaan keessaa sanatti duute; Abrahaamis Saaraadhaaf gadduu fi booʼuudhaaf jedhee dhaqe.
3 And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Abrahaam reeffa niitii isaa biraa kaʼee Heetotaan akkana jedhe;
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.
“Ani gidduu keessanitti ormaa fi keessummaa dha. Akka ani duʼaa koo itti awwaalladhuuf lafa awwaalaaf taʼu natti gurguraa.”
5 And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Heetonnis akkana jedhanii Abrahaamii fi deebii kennan;
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.
“Gooftaa, nu dhagaʼi. Ati nu gidduutti shuumii jabaa dha. Duʼaa kee iddoo awwaala keenyaa keessaa kan akka malee filatamaa taʼetti awwaalladhu. Nu keessaa namni iddoo awwaala isaatti duʼaa kee awwaallachuu si dhowwatu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.”
7 And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the sons of Heth.
Abrahaamis ol kaʼee fuula namoota biyya sanaa fuula Heetotaa duratti gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
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,
Akkanas isaaniin jedhe; “Ani duʼaa koo akkan awwaalladhu fedhii yoo qabaattan na dhagaʼaatii Efroon ilma Zoohar sana naa kadhadhaa.
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.
Innis holqa Makfelaa jedhamu kan qarqara lafa qotiisaa isaatti argamu sana natti ni gurgura. Inni iddoo awwaalaa sana gatii guutuudhaan fuula keessan duratti akka natti gurguruuf naa gaafadhaa.”
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,
Efroon Heetichi saba isaa gidduu taaʼaa ture; innis utuma Heetonni gara karra magaalaa isaa dhufan sun hundi dhagaʼanuu akkana jedhee Abrahaamiif deebii kenne;
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.
“Gooftaa ko, akkana miti; mee na dhaggeeffadhu; ani lafa qotiisaa kana siif nan kenna; holqa achi jirus siif nan kenna; ani fuula saba koo duratti holqa kana siifin kenna; duʼaa kee itti awwaalladhu.”
12 And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Abrahaam amma illee fuula saba biyya sanaa duratti gad jedhee harka fuudhee,
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.
utuma isaan dhagaʼanuu Efrooniin, “Yoo fedhii kee taʼe, na dhagaʼi. Ani gatii lafa qotiisaa kanaa nan kaffala. Akka ani duʼaa koo achitti awwaalladhuuf gatii kana na harkaa fudhadhu” jedhe.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Efroonis akkana jedhee Abrahaamiif deebii kenne;
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.
“Gooftaa ko, mee na dhagaʼi; gatiin lafa kanaa meetii saqilii dhibba afur taʼa; garuu kun anaa fi si gidduutti maali? Duʼaa kee itti awwaalladhu.”
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.
Abrahaamis waan Efroon dubbate sana fudhatee gatii inni utuma Heetonni dhagaʼanuu himate sana madaaleef; gatiin sunis akka madaalii daldaltoota yeroo sanaatti meetii saqilii dhibba afur ture.
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
Akkasitti lafti qotiisaa Efroon kan fuula Mamree dura, Makfelaa keessa jiru sun jechuunis lafti qotiisaatii fi holqi isa keessa jiru, mukni daangaa lafa qotiisaa sana keessa jiru hundi,
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.
fuula Heetota gara karra magaalaa dhufan hundaa duratti akka dhaalaatti Abrahaamitti dabarfame.
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.
Ergasii Abrahaam biyya Kanaʼaan keessa, holqa Makfelaa kan Mamree bira jechuunis Kebroon bira jiru sanatti niitii isaa Saaraa Awwaallate.
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.
Akkasitti lafa qotiisaa sunii fi holqi achi keessaa akka lafa awwaalaa taʼuuf Heetota irraa akka dhaalaatti Abrahaamitti dabarfame.
