Genesis 23
1 Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
A kotahi rau e rua tekau ma whitu nga tau i ora ai a Hara: ko nga tau enei i ora ai a Hara.
2 Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Na ka mate a Hara ki Kiriata Arapa, ara ki Heperona, i te whenua o Kanaana: a ka haere a Aperahama ki te uhunga ki a Hara, ki te tangi hoki ki a ia.
3 Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
A ka whakatika a Aperahama i te ritenga atu o tona tupapaku, ka korero ki nga tama a Hete, ka mea,
4 “I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
He manene ahau, he noho noa iho i roto i a koutou: homai tetahi wahi ki ahau hei tanumanga i roto i a koutou, kia tanumia ai e ahau toku tupapaku, kia ngaro ai i taku tirohanga.
5 The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Na ka whakahoki nga tama a Hete ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia,
6 “Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
Whakarongo ki a matou, e toku ariki: he rangatira nui koe i roto i a matou: whiriwhiria e koe tetahi o o matou urupa, ka tanu ai i tou tupapaku; e kore e kaiponuhia e tetahi o matou tana urupa i a koe, hei tanumanga mo tou tupapaku.
7 Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
Na ka whakatika a Aperahama, ka piko ki te tangata whenua, ki nga tama a Hete.
8 He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
A ka korero ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ki te whai ngakau koutou kia tanumia e ahau toku tupapaku kia ngaro atu i taku tirohanga, whakarongo mai ki ahau, ka tohe atu ki a Eperona, tama a Tohara, moku,
9 that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me among you as a possession for a burial place.”
Kia homai e ia ki ahau tana ana, a Makapera, i te pito o tona wahi oneone; kia homai e ia ki ahau i waenganui i a koutou mo nga moni e rite ana hei utu, kia puritia e ahau hei urupa.
10 Now Ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
Na ko Eperona i roto i nga tama a Hete e noho ana: na ka whakahoki a Eperona Hiti ki a Aperahama, me te whakarongo ano nga tama a Hete, me nga tangata katoa hoki i tomo i te kuwaha o tona pa, ka mea,
11 “No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
Kahore, e toku ariki, whakarongo ki ahau: ka hoatu e ahau tena wahi ki a koe, me te ana i reira, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe; ka hoatu e ahau i te aroaro o nga tama o toku iwi: tanumia tou tupapaku.
12 Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Na ka tuohu a Aperahama i te aroaro o nga tangata whenua,
13 He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
Ka korero ki a Eperona, me te whakarongo ano nga tangata whenua, ka mea, Erangi ki te homai e koe, whakarongo ki ahau: ka hoatu e ahau he hiriwa ki a koe mo taua wahi; tangohia, a ka tanumia e ahau toku tupapaku ki reira.
14 Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Na ko te whakahokinga a Eperona ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia,
15 “My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”
E toku ariki, whakarongo mai ki ahau: he wahi whenua e wha rau nga hekere hiriwa tona utu, he aha tena i waenganui oku, ou? tanumia tou tupapaku.
16 Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.
Na ka whakarongo a Aperahama ki a Eperona; a paunatia ana e Aperahama ki a Eperona te hiriwa i korerotia e ia i te aroaro o nga tama a Hete, e wha rau nga hekere hiriwa, no nga moni e tangohia ana e nga kaihokohoko.
17 So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded
Na whakapumautia ana te wahi oneone o Eperona, i Makapera, i te ritenga o Mamere, te oneone, me te ana i reira, me nga rakau katoa i runga i te oneone, i roto i ona rohe katoa, a tawhio noa,
18 to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
Hei wahi mo Aperahama, i te tirohanga a nga tama a Hete, i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa i tomo i te kuwaha o tona pa.
19 After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
A muri iho i tenei ka tanumia e Aperahama a Hara, tana wahine, ki roto ki te ana, i te wahi i Makapera i te ritenga o Mamere, ara o Heperona i te whenua o Kanaana.
20 The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham by the children of Heth as a possession for a burial place.
Heoi whakapumautia ana e nga tama a Hete taua wahi me te ana i reira mo Aperahama, kia puritia hei tanumanga.
