Genesis 23
1 When Sarah was an hundreth twentie and seuen yeere olde (so long liued she).
Sarah kah a hingnah khaw kum ya kum kul kum rhih lo. Sarah kah a hingnah kum tah amah he coeng ni.
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.
Sarahte Kanaan kho Hebron kah Kiriatharba ah duek. Te dongah Sarah rhaengsae ham Abraham cet tih a rhah thil.
3 Then Abraham rose vp from the sight of his corps, and talked with the Hittites, saying,
Te phoeiah Abrahamte duek kung lamkah thoo tih Kheth carhoek te a voek tih,
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 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 Then the Hittites answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
Tedae Kheth ca rhoek loh Abraham a doo uh tih amah taengah,
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 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 Then Abraham stoode vp, and bowed him selfe before the people of the land of the Hittites.
Te dongah Abrahamte thoo tih tolrhum kah pilnam hmai neh Kheth carhoek hmaiah bakop.
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,
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 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.
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 (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,
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, 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.
“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 Then Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the land,
Te dongah Abrahamte tolrhum pilnam hmai ah bakop tih,
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.
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 Ephron then answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
Tedae Ephron loh Abraham te a dootih amah taengah,
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 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 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.
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 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
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 Vnto Abraham for a possession, in ye sight of the Hittites, euen of all that went in at the gates of his citie.
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 caue of the fielde of Machpelah ouer against Mamre: the same 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 Thus the fielde and the caue, that is therein, was made sure vnto Abraham for a possession of buriall by the Hittites.
Te dongah lohma neh a khuikah lungko te Kheth carhoek taeng lamkah Abraham phuel khohut la a hlaih.
