Genesis 23
1 Now Sarah lived for one hundred and twenty-seven years.
Sara sì pé ọmọ ọdún mẹ́tàdínláàádóje.
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.
Ó sì kú ní Kiriati-Arba (ìyẹn ní Hebroni) ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, Abrahamu lọ láti ṣọ̀fọ̀ àti láti sọkún nítorí Sara.
3 And when he had risen up from the funeral duties, he spoke to the sons of Heth, saying:
Abrahamu sì dìde lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ òkú aya rẹ̀, ó sì sọ fún àwọn ará Hiti wí pé,
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.”
“Èmi jẹ́ àtìpó àti àlejò láàrín yín, ẹ ta ilẹ̀ ìsìnkú fún mi kí èmi le sin òkú tí ó kú fún mi sí.”
5 The sons of Heth responded by saying:
Àwọn ọmọ Hiti dá Abrahamu lóhùn pé,
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.”
“Olúwa mi, gbọ́ tiwa, ó jẹ́ alágbára ọmọ-aládé láàrín wa, sin òkú rẹ sí ibojì tí ó dára jù nínú àwọn ibojì wa, kò sí ẹni tí yóò fi ibojì rẹ dù ọ́ láti sin òkú rẹ sí.”
7 Abraham arose, and he reverenced the people of the land, namely, the sons of Heth.
Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu dìde, ó sì tẹríba níwájú àwọn ará ilẹ̀ náà, àwọn ará Hiti.
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,
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Bí ó bá ṣe pé, lóòótọ́ ni ẹ fẹ́ kí n sin òkú mi kúrò nílẹ̀, ẹ gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ bá mi bẹ Efroni ọmọ Sohari,
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.”
kí ó ta ihò àpáta Makpela tí ó jẹ́ tirẹ̀ fún mi, èyí tí ó wà ni orí oko rẹ̀, kí ó tà á fún mi ni iye owó tí à ń ta irú rẹ̀ fún ilẹ̀ ìsìnkú láàrín yín.”
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:
Efroni ará Hiti sì wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, ó sì dá Abrahamu lóhùn lójú gbogbo àwọn ará ìlú tí ó wà níbẹ̀, lẹ́nu ibodè ìlú,
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.”
pé, “Rárá, olúwa mi. Gbọ́ tèmi; mo fún ọ ní ilẹ̀ náà àti ihò àpáta tí ó wà níbẹ̀. Mo fún ọ níwájú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mi. Sin òkú rẹ síbẹ̀.”
12 Abraham reverenced in the sight of the people of the land.
Abrahamu sì tún tẹríba níwájú àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà,
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.”
ó sì wí fún Efroni lójú gbogbo wọn pé, “Bí ìwọ bá fẹ́, gbọ́ tèmi, èmi yóò san owó ilẹ̀ náà, gbà á lọ́wọ́ mi kí n lè sin òkú mi síbẹ̀.”
14 And Ephron responded: “My lord, hear me.
Efroni sì dá Abrahamu lóhùn pé,
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.”
“Gbọ́ tèmi Olúwa mi, irinwó òsùwọ̀n owó fàdákà ni ilẹ̀ náà, ṣùgbọ́n kín ni ìyẹn já mọ láàrín àwa méjèèjì? Sá à sin òkú rẹ.”
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.
Abrahamu sì gbọ́ tí Efroni wí, Abrahamu sì wọn iye fàdákà náà fún Efroni, tí ó sọ ní etí àwọn ọmọ Hiti, irinwó òsùwọ̀n ṣékélì fàdákà, tí ó kọjá lọ́dọ̀ àwọn oníṣòwò.
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,
Báyìí ni ilẹ̀ Efroni tí ó wà ni Makpela nítòsí Mamre, ilẹ̀ náà àti ihò àpáta tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ àti gbogbo igi tí ó wà nínú ilẹ̀ náà ni a ṣe ètò rẹ̀ dájú,
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.
bí ohun ìní fún Abrahamu níwájú gbogbo ará Hiti tí ó wá sí ẹnu ibodè ìlú náà.
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.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Abrahamu sin aya rẹ̀ Sara sínú ihò àpáta ní ilẹ̀ Makpela nítòsí Mamre (tí í ṣe Hebroni) ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani.
20 And the field was confirmed to Abraham, with the cave that was in it, as a memorial possession before the sons of Heth.
Ilẹ̀ náà àti ihò àpáta tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ ni àwọn ará Hiti fi fún Abrahamu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ìní títí láé, bí ilẹ̀ ìsìnkú fún àwọn òkú tí ó bá kú fun un.
