Genesis 23
1 Now Sarah lived for one hundred and twenty-seven years.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Saraha dia fito amby roa-polo amby zato taona; izany no taona niainan’ i Saraha.
2 And she died in the city of Arba, which is Hebron, in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn and 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 And when he had risen up from the funeral duties, he spoke to the sons of Heth, saying:
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 newcomer and a sojourner among you. Give me the right of a sepulcher among you, so that I may 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 sons of Heth responded by saying:
Dia namaly an’ i Abrahama ny taranak’ i Heta ka nanao taminy hoe:
6 “Hear us, O lord, you are a leader of God among us. Bury your dead in our chosen sepulchers. And no man shall be able to prohibit you from burying your dead within his memorial.”
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 Abraham arose, and he reverenced the people of the land, namely, the sons of Heth.
Dia nitsangana Abrahama ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny taranak’ i Heta tompon-tany,
8 And he said to them: “If it pleases your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede on my behalf with 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 so that he may give me the double cave, which he has at the far end of his field. He may transfer it to me for as much money as it is worth in your sight, for the possession of a sepulcher.”
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 dwelt in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron responded to Abraham in the hearing of everyone who was entering at the gate of his city, 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 “Let it never be so, my lord, but you should pay greater heed to what I say. The field I will transfer to you, and the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons 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 Abraham reverenced in the sight of the people of the land.
Ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny olona tompon-tany Abrahama,
13 And he spoke to Ephron, standing in the midst of the people: “I ask you to hear me. I will give you money for the field. Take it, and so I will bury my dead in it.”
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 And Ephron responded: “My lord, hear me.
Ary Efrona dia namaly an’ i Abrahama ka nanao taminy hoe:
15 The land that you request is worth four hundred shekels of silver. This is the price between me and you. But how much is this? 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 And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had requested, in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, of the approved public currency.
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 And having confirmed that the field, in which there was a double cave overlooking Mamre, formerly belonged to Ephron, both it and the sepulcher, and all its trees, with all its surrounding limits,
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 Abraham took it as a possession, in the sight of the sons of Heth and of everyone who was entering at 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 So then, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the double cave of the field that overlooked Mamre. This 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 was confirmed to Abraham, with the cave that was in it, as a memorial possession before the sons 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.
