Genesis 23
1 Now Sarah lived to be 127 years old.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Saraha dia fito amby roa-polo amby zato taona; izany no taona niainan’ i Saraha.
2 She died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went out to mourn and to weep for her.
Ary Saraha dia maty tao Kiriat-arba (Hebrona izany) tany amin’ ny tany Kanana; dia tonga Abrahama hisaona an’ i Saraha sy hitomany azy.
3 Then Abraham got up from beside his dead wife and said to the Hittites,
Ary Abrahama nitsangana niala avy teo anilan’ ny fatin’ ny vadiny, dia niteny tamin’ ny taranak’ i Heta ka nanao hoe:
4 “I am a foreigner and an outsider among you. Give me a burial site among you so that I can bury my dead.”
Vahiny sy mpivahiny eto aminareo aho; omeo tany fandevenana eto aminareo aho mba handevenako ny fatin’ ny vadiko tsy ho eto anatrehako.
5 The Hittites replied to Abraham,
Dia namaly an’ i Abrahama ny taranak’ i Heta ka nanao taminy hoe:
6 “Listen to us, sir. You are God’s chosen one among us. Bury your dead in the finest of our tombs. None of us will withhold his tomb for burying your dead.”
Mihainoa anay, tompokolahy: andrian-dehibe eto aminay ianao; koa izay tsara indrindra amin’ ny fasanay no andeveno ny fatin’ ny vadinao; tsy misy aminay hiaro ny fasany aminao tsy handevenanao ny fatin’ ny vadinao.
7 Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites.
Dia nitsangana Abrahama ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny taranak’ i Heta tompon-tany,
8 “If you are willing for me to bury my dead,” he said to them, “listen to me, and approach Ephron son of Zohar on my behalf
dia niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Raha sitrakareo ary ny handevenako ny fatin’ ny vadiko mba tsy ho eto anatrehako, dia mihainoa ahy, ka mba iangavio kely amin’ i Efrona, zanak’ i Zohara,
9 to sell me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him; it is at the end of his field. Let him sell it to me in your presence for full price, so that I may have a burial site.”
mba homeny ahy ny zohy ao Makpela izay azy, dia ilay eo amin’ ny sisin’ ny sahany; amin’ izay vola tokom-bidiny no aoka hanomezany azy ho ahy eto aminareo ho tany fandevenana.
10 Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth. So in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city, Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham,
Ary Efrona nipetraka teo amin’ ny taranak’ i Heta; dia namaly an’ i Abrahama Efrona Hetita teo anatrehan’ ny taranak’ i Heta, dia izay rehetra niditra teo am-bavahadin’ ny tanànany, ka nanao hoe:
11 “No, my lord. Listen to me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. I give it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.”
Tsia, tompokolahy, fa mihainoa ahy: ny saha dia omeko anao, ary ny zohy izay eo anatiny koa dia omeko anao; eto imason’ ny zanaky ny fireneko no anomezako azy ho anao; aleveno ny fatin’ ny vadinao.
12 Again Abraham bowed down before the people of the land
Ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny olona tompon-tany Abrahama,
13 and said to Ephron in their presence, “If you will please listen to me, I will pay you the price of the field. Accept it from me, so that I may bury my dead there.”
dia niteny tamin’ i Efrona teo anatrehan’ ny olona tompon-tany ka nanao hoe: Kanefa raha mba hihaino ahy ihany ianao, dia homeko ny vidin’ ny saha; raiso amiko izany, dia haleviko ao ny fatin’ ny vadiko.
14 Ephron answered Abraham,
Ary Efrona dia namaly an’ i Abrahama ka nanao taminy hoe:
15 “Listen to me, my lord. The land is worth four hundred shekels of silver, but what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”
Tompokolahy, mihainoa ahy: tany tokony ho lafo sekely volafotsy efa-jato, inona moa izany amintsika roa lahy? fa aleveno ny fatin’ ny vadinao.
16 Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms and weighed out for him the price he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver, according to the standard of the merchants.
Dia neken’ i Abrahama ny tenin’ i Efrona, ka nolanjainy ho azy ny vola izay efa voalazany teo anatrehan’ ny taranak’ i Heta, dia sekely volafotsy efa-jato lanin’ ny mpivarotra.
17 So Ephron’s field at Machpelah near Mamre, the cave that was in it, and all the trees within the boundaries of the field were deeded over
Ary ny sahan’ i Efrona, ilay teo Makpela, izay tandrifin’ i Mamre, dia ny saha sy ny zohy izay teo anatiny mbamin’ ny hazo rehetra izay teo anatiny, izay teo amin’ ny sisiny rehetra manodidina, dia natao varo-maty
18 to Abraham’s possession in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city.
tamini’ i Abrahama ho fananana, teo imason’ ny taranak’ i Heta, dia izay rehetra niditra teo am-bavahadin’ ny tanànany.
19 After this, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field at Machpelah near Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, Abrahama dia nandevina an’ i Saraha vadiny tao amin’ ny zohy tao amin’ ny saha Makpela tandrifin’ i Mamre (Hebrona izany), ao amin’ ny tany Kanana;
20 So the field and its cave were deeded by the Hittites to Abraham as a burial site.
ka ny saha mbamin’ ny zohy izay ao anatiny dia nataon’ ny taranak’ i Heta varo-maty tamin’ i Abrahama ho tany fandevenana.
