Genesis 23
1 Now the years of Sarah's life were a hundred and twenty-seven.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Saraha dia fito amby roa-polo amby zato taona; izany no taona niainan’ i Saraha.
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.
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 And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth,
Ary Abrahama nitsangana niala avy teo anilan’ ny fatin’ ny vadiny, dia niteny tamin’ ny taranak’ i Heta ka nanao hoe:
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.
Vahiny sy mpivahiny eto aminareo aho; omeo tany fandevenana eto aminareo aho mba handevenako ny fatin’ ny vadiko tsy ho eto anatrehako.
5 And in answer the children of Heth said to Abraham,
Dia namaly an’ i Abrahama ny taranak’ i Heta ka nanao taminy hoe:
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.
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 And Abraham got up and gave honour to the children of Heth, the people of that land.
Dia nitsangana Abrahama ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny taranak’ i Heta tompon-tany,
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,
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 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.
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 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,
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, 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.
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 And Abraham went down on his face before the people of the land.
Ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny olona tompon-tany Abrahama,
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.
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 So Ephron said to Abraham,
Ary Efrona dia namaly an’ i Abrahama ka nanao taminy hoe:
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.
Tompokolahy, mihainoa ahy: tany tokony ho lafo sekely volafotsy efa-jato, inona moa izany amintsika roa lahy? fa aleveno ny fatin’ ny vadinao.
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.
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, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it,
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 Became the property of Abraham before the eyes of the children of Heth and of all who came into the town.
tamini’ i Abrahama ho fananana, teo imason’ ny taranak’ i Heta, dia izay rehetra niditra teo am-bavahadin’ ny tanànany.
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.
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 And the field and the hollow rock were handed over to Abraham as his property by the children of Heth.
ka ny saha mbamin’ ny zohy izay ao anatiny dia nataon’ ny taranak’ i Heta varo-maty tamin’ i Abrahama ho tany fandevenana.
