Genesis 23
1 When Sarah was an hundreth twentie and seuen yeere olde (so long liued she).
Sera dị ndụ ruo narị afọ na iri afọ abụọ na asaa.
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.
Ọ nwụrụ na Kiriat Arba (nke bụ Hebrọn), nʼala Kenan. Ebraham ruru ụjụ nʼihi Sera, kwaa akwa nke ukwuu nʼihi ọnwụ ya.
3 Then Abraham rose vp from the sight of his corps, and talked with the Hittites, saying,
Ebraham sitere nʼebe ozu nwunye ya dị pụọ, jekwuru ụmụ Het gwa ha sị,
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.
“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 Then the Hittites answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
Ụmụ Het zara Ebraham sị,
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.
“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 Then Abraham stoode vp, and bowed him selfe before the people of the land of the Hittites.
Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham biliri kpọọ isiala nʼihu ndị nwe ala, bụ ndị Het,
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,
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 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.
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 (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,
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, 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.
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 Then Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the land,
Ọzọ Ebraham kpọrọ isiala nye ndị nwe ala,
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.
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 Ephron then answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
Efrọn zara Ebraham,
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.
“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 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.
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 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
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 Vnto Abraham for a possession, in ye sight of the Hittites, euen of all that went in at the gates of his citie.
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 caue of the fielde of Machpelah ouer against Mamre: the same 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 Thus the fielde and the caue, that is therein, was made sure vnto Abraham for a possession of buriall by the Hittites.
Ya mere, ala ahụ na ọgba dị nʼime ya ka ndị Het resiri Ebraham ka ọ bụrụ nke ya, ebe a na-eli ozu.
