Genesis 23
1 When Sarah was an hundreth twentie and seuen yeere olde (so long liued she).
Sarah loe saning cumvai, pumphae sarihto hing;
2 Then Sarah dyed in Kiriath-arba: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. and Abraham came to mourne for Sarah and to weepe for her.
Sarah loe Kanaan prae Kirjath Arba (Hebron tiah doeh thuih) ah duek; Abraham loe Sarah pongah palungset moe qah.
3 Then Abraham rose vp from the sight of his corps, and talked with the Hittites, saying,
To pacoengah Abraham loe kadueh a zu qok khae hoi angthawk moe, Hit caanawk khaeah lok a thuih, nihcae khaeah,
4 I am a stranger, and a forreiner among you, giue me a possession of buriall with you, that I may burie my dead out of my sight.
Kai loe nangcae salakah angvin ah ni ka oh; kadueh ka zu qok aphum hanah long ahmuen na qan o sak thoem ah, tiah a naa.
5 Then the Hittites answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
Hit kaminawk mah Abraham khaeah,
6 Heare vs, my lorde: thou art a prince of God among vs: in the chiefest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of vs shall forbid thee his sepulchre, but thou mayest bury thy dead therein.
ka angraeng, Kaicae ih lok hae tahngai ah; nang loe kaicae salakah thacak angraeng capa ah na oh; na koeh ih ahmuen to qoi ah loe, qok to kaicae ih taprong salakah aphum ah; kadueh qok aphum hanah mi mah doeh taprong to paawt mak ai, tiah a naa o.
7 Then Abraham stoode vp, and bowed him selfe before the people of the land of the Hittites.
To pacoengah Abraham loe angthawk moe, to prae thungah kaom Hit kaminawk hma ah akuep pae.
8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your minde, that I shall bury my dead out of my sight, heare me, and intreate for me to Ephron the sonne of Zohar,
Nihcae khaeah, Kadueh ka zu ih qok to ka mikhnuk ah aphum sak han nang koeh o haih nahaeloe, ka lok hae tahngai oh; Zohar capa Ephron mah,
9 That he would giue me ye caue of Machpelah, which he hath in the ende of his field: that he would giue it me for as much money as it is worth, for a possession to bury in among you.
angmah ih lawk taengah kaom, Makpelah thlung khaw to, atho kating ah kai khaeah zawh hanah na hni pae oh, tiah a naa.
10 (For Ephron dwelt among the Hittites) Then Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of all the Hittites that went in at the gates of his citie, saying,
To nathuem ah Ephron loe Hit kaminawk salakah anghnut; Hit kami Ephron loe vangpui khongkha thungah akun, Hit kami rangpui hmaa ah Abraham ih lok to pathim pae; anih mah,
11 No, my Lord, heare me: the fielde giue I thee, and the caue, that therein is, I giue it thee: euen in the presence of the sonnes of my people giue I it thee, to bury thy dead.
ka angraeng, to tih na ai ni, ka lok hae tahngai ah; lawk to kang paek moe, lawk thungah kaom thlung khaw doeh kang paek; kaimah ih kaminawk hma ah nang han kang paek boeh, kadueh na zu ih qok to aphum lai ah, tiah a naa.
12 Then Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the land,
Abraham mah to kaminawk hma ah akuep let moe,
13 And spake vnto Ephron in the audience of the people of the countrey, saying, Seeing thou wilt giue it, I pray thee, heare me, I will giue the price of the fielde: receiue it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
prae kaminawk mikhnuk ah Ephron khaeah, Na koeh nahaeloe, ka lok hae tahngai ah; lawk qanhaih atho to kang paek han; to ah qok ka phum thai hanah, atho hae na talawk paeh, tiah a naa.
14 Ephron then answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
Ephron mah Abraham khaeah,
15 My lord, hearken vnto me: ye land is worth foure hundreth shekels of siluer: what is that betweene me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
ka angraeng, tahngai ah, to long loe phoisa shekel cumvai palito a ting; toe nang hoi kai salakah timaw angaih? Kadueh na zu ih qok to mah aphum laih, tiah a naa.
16 So Abraham hearkened vnto Ephron, and Abraham weyed to Ephron the siluer, which he had named, in the audience of the Hittites, euen foure hundreth siluer shekels of currant money among marchants.
Ephron ih lok to Abraham mah tapom moe, Hit kaminawk ih mikhnuk ah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, hmuen zaw kaminawk mah patoh ih tahhaih pongah, Ephron hanah phoisa cumvai palito a noek pae.
17 So the fielde of Ephron which was in Machpelah, and ouer against Mamre, euen the field and the caue that was therein, and all the trees that were in the fielde, which were in all the borders round about, was made sure
To pongah Mamre hma ah kaom, Makpelah ahmuen, Ephron lawk thung ih thlung khaw hoi thingkungnawk boih, a taengah kaom thingkungnawk boih to,
18 Vnto Abraham for a possession, in ye sight of the Hittites, euen of all that went in at the gates of his citie.
vangpui khongkha thung akun Hit kaminawk boih mikhnuk ah Abraham ih hmuen ah oh.
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah ouer against Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
To pacoengah Abraham mah a zu sarah to Kanaan prae Mamre (Hebron) taengah kaom Makpelah lawk thung ih thlung khaw thungah aphum.
20 Thus the fielde and the caue, that is therein, was made sure vnto Abraham for a possession of buriall by the Hittites.
To pongah lawk hoi a thungah kaom thlung khaw to, Abraham ih taprong ah oh thai hanah, Hit kaminawk mah raihaih om ai ah paek o.
