Genesis 23
1 Sarah lived to be 127,
Sara sì pé ọmọ ọdún mẹ́tàdínláàádóje.
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.
Ó sì kú ní Kiriati-Arba (ìyẹn ní Hebroni) ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, Abrahamu lọ láti ṣọ̀fọ̀ àti láti sọkún nítorí Sara.
3 Then Abraham got up from beside his wife's body and went to talk with the leaders of the Hittites.
Abrahamu sì dìde lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ òkú aya rẹ̀, ó sì sọ fún àwọn ará Hiti wí pé,
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.”
“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 Hittites answered Abraham, telling him,
Àwọn ọmọ Hiti dá Abrahamu lóhùn pé,
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.”
“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 got up and bowed low before the Hittites, the local people,
Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu dìde, ó sì tẹríba níwájú àwọn ará ilẹ̀ náà, àwọn ará Hiti.
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,
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 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.”
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 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.
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 “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.”
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 bowed low before the local people,
Abrahamu sì tún tẹríba níwájú àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà,
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.”
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 Ephron replied to Abraham, telling him,
Efroni sì dá Abrahamu lóhùn pé,
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.”
“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 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.
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 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.
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 This all became Abraham's property, and the transaction was witnessed by the Hittites who were there at the town gate.
bí ohun ìní fún Abrahamu níwájú gbogbo ará Hiti tí ó wá sí ẹnu ibodè ìlú náà.
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.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Abrahamu sin aya rẹ̀ Sara sínú ihò àpáta ní ilẹ̀ Makpela nítòsí Mamre (tí í ṣe Hebroni) ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani.
20 Ownership of the field and the cave there was transferred from the Hittites to Abraham to serve as his burial place.
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.
