Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
Sarah kah a hingnah khaw kum ya kum kul kum rhih lo. Sarah kah a hingnah kum tah amah he coeng ni.
2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-Arba: that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Sarahte Kanaan kho Hebron kah Kiriatharba ah duek. Te dongah Sarah rhaengsae ham Abraham cet tih a rhah thil.
3 And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Te phoeiah Abrahamte duek kung lamkah thoo tih Kheth carhoek te a voek tih,
4 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a sepulchre with you, that I may bury my dead from before me.
“Kai tah nangmih taengah yinlai neh lampah ni, nangmih kah khohut phuelte kai taengah m'pae mai, ka mikhmuh lamkah ka hlang duek ka up thai ham khaw,” a ti nah.
5 And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Tedae Kheth ca rhoek loh Abraham a doo uh tih amah taengah,
6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a prince of God among us: in the choicest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre for burying thy dead.
“Ka boeipa kaimih ol he hnatun lah. Kaimih khui ah namah ni Pathen khoboei. Kaimih kah phuel saelh khuiah na rhok te up ngawn. Na duek vaengah up ham tah kaimih kah hlang loh a phuel te nang taengah hloh mahpawh,” a ti nauh.
7 And Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
Te dongah Abrahamte thoo tih tolrhum kah pilnam hmai neh Kheth carhoek hmaiah bakop.
8 and spoke to them, saying, If it be your will that I should bury my dead from before me, hear me, and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar,
Amih te koep a voek tih, “Ka mikhmuh kah aka duek he up ham nangmih hinglu ah ni a om atah kai ol hnatang uh lamtah kai yueng la Zohar capa Ephron te hloep uh.
9 that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which is his, which is at the end of his field; for the full money let him give it to me amongst you for a possession of a sepulchre.
Anih kah lohma bawt ah aka om amah hut Makpelah kah lungko te kai taengah m'pae mai saeh. Tangka a ting yet la m'pae saeh lamtah nang lakli ah kamah kah phuel khohut la om saeh,” a ti nah.
10 And Ephron was dwelling among the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham, in the ears of the sons of Heth, [even] of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
Te vaengah Kheth carhoek lakli ah Ephron ngol. Te dongah Khitti hoel Ephron loh khopuei vongka la aka lo Kheth carhoek boeih kah a hna ah Abraham te a doo tih,
11 No, my lord: hear me. The field give I thee; and the cave that is in it, to thee I give it; before the eyes of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
“Pawh, ka boeipa, kai ol hnatun lah, khohmuen te nang kan paek coeng dongah a khuikah lungko khaw ka pilnam koca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah nang kan paek vanbangla nang kan paek phuel ah na rhok khaw up,” a ti nah.
12 And Abraham bowed down before the people of the land;
Te dongah Abrahamte tolrhum pilnam hmai ah bakop tih,
13 and he spoke to Ephron, in the ears of the people of the land, saying, But if only thou wouldst listen to me, I give the money for the field: take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead there.
tolrhum pilnam kah hna yaak ah Ephron te, “Nang khaw kai ol he hnatun mai. Kai lamkah khohmuen phu tangka kan paek vetih na doe koinih ka rhok khaw pahoi ka up sue,” a ti nah.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Tedae Ephron loh Abraham te a dootih amah taengah,
15 My lord, hearken to me. A field of four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
“Ka boeipa, kai ol hnatun lah. Khohmuen phu tangka shekel ya li te kai neh nang laklo ah bahamnim ca? Tahae ah khaw na rhok te up ngawn,” a ti nah.
16 And Abraham hearkened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the money that he had named in the ears of the sons of Heth — four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant.
Abraham loh Ephron te a rhoi. Te dongah thimpom taengkah vanbangla tangka shekel ya li te Kheth ca rhoek kah hna yaak ah a tae tih Abraham loh Ephron ham tangka a thuek pah.
17 So the field of Ephron, which was at Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all its borders round about,
Te dongah Mamre khohmuen kaep, Makpelah kah Ephron lo neh a khuikah lungko te khaw, lohma li neh a kaepvai rhi boeih kah thing boeih khaw,
18 were assured to Abraham for a possession before the eyes of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
khopuei vongka la aka lo boeih hmai neh Kheth ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Abraham kah kho lai la a saii.
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field at Machpelah, opposite to Mamre: that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
Te phoei daengah Kanaan kho Hebron Mamre kaep, Makpelah lo kah lungko ah a yuu Sarah te Abrahamloha up.
20 And the field and the cave that was in it were assured to Abraham for a possession of a sepulchre by the sons of Heth.
Te dongah lohma neh a khuikah lungko te Kheth carhoek taeng lamkah Abraham phuel khohut la a hlaih.
