Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
Sera dị ndụ ruo narị afọ na iri afọ abụọ na asaa.
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.
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 rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Ebraham sitere nʼebe ozu nwunye ya dị pụọ, jekwuru ụmụ Het gwa ha sị,
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.
“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 the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Ụmụ Het zara Ebraham sị,
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.
“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 rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham biliri kpọọ isiala nʼihu ndị nwe ala, bụ ndị Het,
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,
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 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.
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 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,
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: 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.
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 bowed down before the people of the land;
Ọzọ Ebraham kpọrọ isiala nye ndị nwe ala,
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.
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 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Efrọn zara Ebraham,
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.
“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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
ghọrọ nke Ebraham dịka ihe nzụta ya nʼihu ụmụ Het, nʼihu ndị niile ndị bịara nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata obodo ahụ.
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.
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 cave that was in it were assured to Abraham for a possession of a sepulchre by the sons 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.
