Genesis 23
1 Sarah lived to be 127,
HOOKAHI haneri na makahiki me ka iwakaluakumamahiku o Sara: oia na makahiki o ke ola ana o Sara.
2 and then she died at Kiriath-arba (or Hebron) in the land of Canaan. Abraham went in to mourn her death and to weep over her.
A make aku la o Sara ma Kiriatareba, oia o Heberona ma ka aina o Kanaana; a hele mai la o Aberahama e uwe a e kanikau ia Sara.
3 Then Abraham got up from beside his wife's body and went to talk with the leaders of the Hittites.
Ka ae la o Aberahama iluna, mai ke alo ae o kana mea i make, olelo aku la ia i na mamo a Heta, i aku la,
4 “I am a foreigner, a stranger living among you,” he said. “Please let me buy a burial site so I can bury my dead wife.”
He malihini no wau e noho wale ana me oukou: e haawi mai i ilina iwaena o oukou, i lilo ia no'u, i kanu aku au i kuu mea i make, mai ko'u mau maka aku.
5 The Hittites answered Abraham, telling him,
Olelo mai na mamo a Heta ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia,
6 “Listen, my lord, you are a highly-respected prince among us. Choose the very best of our burial sites to bury your dead. None of us will say no to you.”
E hoolohe mai oe i ka makou, e kuu haku: he alii nui no oe iwaena o makou; ma ka ilina maikai loa o makou, e kanu iho ai oe i kau mea make: aole e aua kekahi o makou i kona ilina ia oe, i ole oe e kanu i kou mea make.
7 Abraham got up and bowed low before the Hittites, the local people,
Ka ae la o Aberahama, a kulou iho la imua o na kanaka o ka aina, o na mamo a Heta.
8 and said to them, “If you agree to help me bury my dead, listen to my proposal. Could you please ask Ephron, son of Zohar,
Kamailio aku la ia me lakou, i aku la, Ina o ko oukou manao ia, i kanu iho ai au i kuu mea make mai o'u mau maka aku; e hoolohe mai, a e noi aka oukou ia Eperona ke keiki a Zohara no'u;
9 to sell me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him, down at the end of his field. I'm willing to pay him the full price here in your presence so I can have my own burial site.”
I haawi mai ai oia i ke ana o Makepela no'u; nona no ia, aia no ma ka palena o kana mahinaai; no na kala e pono ke kuai, e haawi mai no oia ia wahi no'u i ilina iwaena o oukou.
10 Ephron the Hittite was sitting there among his people. He replied to Abraham in the presence of the Hittites who were there at the town gate.
Noho pa iho la o Eperona me na mamo a Heta: olelo mai la o Eperona ka Heta ia Aberahama, ma ka lohe o na mamo a Heta, a o ka poe a pau i komo ma ka ipuka o ke kulanakauhale, i mai la,
11 “No, my lord,” he said. “Please listen to me. I give you the field and the cave that is there. I give it to you and my people are my witnesses. Please go and bury your dead.”
E kuu haku, e hoolohe mai oe ia'u: ke haawi wale aku nei au i ka mahinaai a me ke ana maloko, nou, ke haawi aku nei au nou ia wahi: imua o na keiki a o'u poe kanaka, ke haawi aku nei au nou ia wahi: e kanu aku oe i kau mea make.
12 Abraham bowed low before the local people,
Kulou iho la o Aberahama ilalo, imua o na kanaka o ia aina.
13 and said to Ephron so everyone could hear, “Please listen to me. I will pay the price for the field. Take the money and let me go and bury my dead there.”
I aku la oia ia Eperona ma ka lohe o na kanaka o ia aina, i ka i ana, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolohe mai oe ia'u, Ina e ae mai oe, e haawi aku no wau i ke kala no ua mahinaai la; e lawe oe i ka'u, a e kanu no wau i kau mea make ilaila.
14 Ephron replied to Abraham, telling him,
Olelo mai la o Eperona ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia,
15 “My lord, please listen to me. The land is worth four hundred pieces of silver. But what's that between us? Go and bury your dead.”
E kuu haku, e hoolohe mai ia'u, eha haneri sekela kala ke kumukuai o ia aina; heaha hoi ia iwaena o kaua? e kanu hoi oe i kau mea make.
16 Abraham accepted Ephron's offer. Abraham weighed out and gave to Ephron the four hundred pieces of silver he'd mentioned, using the standard weights used by merchants, and with the Hittites acting as witnesses.
Ae mai la o Aberahama ia Eperona; a kaupouna iho la o Aberahama no Eperona i ke kala ana i olelo ai ma ka lohe o na mamo a Heta, eha haneri sekela kala, he kala pono i ka poe kuai.
17 So the property was legally transferred. It comprised Ephron's field in Machpelah near Mamre, both the field and the cave there, as well as all the trees in the field, and all the area up to the existing boundaries.
A ua hoolilo paa ia ka mahinaai a Eperona ma Makepela, ma ke alo o Mamere, o ka mahinaai me ke ana maloko, a me na laau a pau o na mahinaai la, a e puni ana ma na palena a pau,
18 This all became Abraham's property, and the transaction was witnessed by the Hittites who were there at the town gate.
No Aberahama i wahi nona ma ke alo o na mamo a Heta, imua hoi o ka poe a pau i komo ma ka ipuka o kona kulanakauhale.
19 Then Abraham went and buried Sarah his wife in the cave in the field at Machpelah near Mamre (or Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
Mahope iho, kanu iho la o Aberahama i kana wahine ia Sara iloko o ke ana ma ka mahinaai o Makepela ma ke alo o Mamere: oia o Heberona i ka aina o Kanaana.
20 Ownership of the field and the cave there was transferred from the Hittites to Abraham to serve as his burial place.
Ua hoolilo paa ia ka mahinaai a me ke ana maloko, no Aberahama i ilina nona, e na mamo a Heta.
