Genesis 23
1 Now the years of Sarah's life were a hundred and twenty-seven.
Sera dị ndụ ruo narị afọ na iri afọ abụọ na asaa.
2 And Sarah's death took place in Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan: and Abraham went into his house, weeping and sorrowing for Sarah.
Ọ nwụrụ na Kiriat Arba (nke bụ Hebrọn), nʼala Kenan. Ebraham ruru ụjụ nʼihi Sera, kwaa akwa nke ukwuu nʼihi ọnwụ ya.
3 And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth,
Ebraham sitere nʼebe ozu nwunye ya dị pụọ, jekwuru ụmụ Het gwa ha sị,
4 I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest.
“Abụ m ọbịa na onye obodo ọzọ nʼetiti unu. Resinụ m ala m ji eme ebe olili nʼebe a, ka m nwee ike lie onye m nwụrụ anwụ.”
5 And in answer the children of Heth said to Abraham,
Ụmụ Het zara Ebraham sị,
6 My lord, truly you are a great chief among us; take the best of our resting-places for your dead; not one of us will keep back from you a place where you may put your dead to rest.
“Nna anyị ukwu, gee anyị ntị. Nwa eze dị ukwu ka ị bụ nʼetiti anyị, lie onye gị nwụrụ anwụ nʼili ahụ nke kachasị mma nʼime ili anyị nwere. O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime anyị ga-ajụ inye gị ala olili ya maka ili onye gị nwụrụ anwụ.”
7 And Abraham got up and gave honour to the children of Heth, the people of that land.
Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham biliri kpọọ isiala nʼihu ndị nwe ala, bụ ndị Het,
8 And he said to them, If you will let me put my dead to rest here, make a request for me to Ephron, the son of Zohar,
sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ ọchịchọ unu ka m lie onye m nwụrụ anwụ, geenụ m ntị ma rịọrọ m Efrọn nwa Zoha,
9 That he will give me the hollow in the rock named Machpelah, which is his property at the end of his field; let him give it to me for its full price as a resting-place for my dead among you.
ka o resi m ọgba Makipela, nke bụ nke ya, nke dị na ngwụsị ọhịa ya. Gwa ya ka o resi m ya nʼọnụ ahịa o ruru ka ọ bụrụ ebe olili m nwere nʼetiti unu.”
10 Now Ephron was seated among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite gave Abraham his answer in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those who came into his town, saying,
Efrọn onye Het nʼonwe ya so nọdụ nʼebe ahụ nʼetiti ndị ya. Ọ zara Ebraham nʼihu ndị Het niile bịara nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo
11 No, my lord, I will give you the field with the hollow in the rock; before all the children of my people will I give it to you for a resting-place for your dead.
sị ya, “Mba! Nna m ukwu, gee m ntị. Ana m enye gị ala ahụ na ọgba dị nʼime ya nʼihu ndị a niile bụ ndị m. Gaa lie onye gị nwụrụ anwụ nʼime ya.”
12 And Abraham went down on his face before the people of the land.
Ọzọ Ebraham kpọrọ isiala nye ndị nwe ala,
13 And Abraham said to Ephron, in the hearing of the people of the land, If only you will give ear to me, I will give you the price of the field; take it, and let me put my dead to rest there.
ọ sịrị Efrọn, nʼihu ha niile, “Biko gee m ntị, aga m akwụ gị ọnụahịa iji zụọ ala ahụ. Nara m ya ka m nwee ike lie onye m nwụrụ anwụ nʼime ya.”
14 So Ephron said to Abraham,
Efrọn zara Ebraham,
15 My lord, give ear to me: the value of the land is four hundred shekels; what is that between me and you? so put your dead to rest there.
“Gee m ntị, nna m ukwu, ọ bụ ezie na ala ahụ ruru narị shekel ọlaọcha anọ, ma gịnị ka nke a bụ nʼetiti mụ na gị? Gaa lie onye gị nwụrụ anwụ nʼime ya.”
16 And Abraham took note of the price fixed by Ephron in the hearing of the children of Heth, and gave him four hundred shekels in current money.
Ebraham kwenyere nʼego ole Efrọn chọrọ ka ọ kwụọ. O ji ihe ọtụtụ tụpụtara Efrọn ego ruru ọnụahịa ọ kpọrọ aha nʼihu ndị Het niile, narị shekel ọlaọcha anọ, dịka ihe ọtụtụ nke dị nʼoge ahụ nʼetiti ndị na-azụ ahịa.
17 So Ephron's field at Machpelah near Mamre, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it,
Site nʼoge ahụ, ala ahụ Efrọn nwere na Makipela, nke dị nso na Mamre, ala ahụ na ọgba dị nʼime ya, na osisi niile dị nʼime ala ahụ niile gburugburu,
18 Became the property of Abraham before the eyes of the children of Heth and of all who came into the town.
ghọrọ nke Ebraham dịka ihe nzụta ya nʼihu ụmụ Het, nʼihu ndị niile ndị bịara nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata obodo ahụ.
19 Then Abraham put Sarah his wife to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah near Mamre, that is, Hebron in the land of Canaan.
Emesịa, Ebraham liri Sera nwunye ya nʼime ọgba ahụ dị nʼala dị na Makipela na nso Mamre (nke dị na Hebrọn) nʼala ndị Kenan.
20 And the field and the hollow rock were handed over to Abraham as his property by the children of Heth.
Ya mere, ala ahụ na ọgba dị nʼime ya ka ndị Het resiri Ebraham ka ọ bụrụ nke ya, ebe a na-eli ozu.
