Genesis 23
1 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
A kotahi rau e rua tekau ma whitu nga tau i ora ai a Hara: ko nga tau enei i ora ai a Hara.
2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Na ka mate a Hara ki Kiriata Arapa, ara ki Heperona, i te whenua o Kanaana: a ka haere a Aperahama ki te uhunga ki a Hara, ki te tangi hoki ki a ia.
3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
A ka whakatika a Aperahama i te ritenga atu o tona tupapaku, ka korero ki nga tama a Hete, ka mea,
4 I [am] a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
He manene ahau, he noho noa iho i roto i a koutou: homai tetahi wahi ki ahau hei tanumanga i roto i a koutou, kia tanumia ai e ahau toku tupapaku, kia ngaro ai i taku tirohanga.
5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
Na ka whakahoki nga tama a Hete ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia,
6 Hear us, my lord: thou [art] a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
Whakarongo ki a matou, e toku ariki: he rangatira nui koe i roto i a matou: whiriwhiria e koe tetahi o o matou urupa, ka tanu ai i tou tupapaku; e kore e kaiponuhia e tetahi o matou tana urupa i a koe, hei tanumanga mo tou tupapaku.
7 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, [even] to the children of Heth.
Na ka whakatika a Aperahama, ka piko ki te tangata whenua, ki nga tama a Hete.
8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
A ka korero ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ki te whai ngakau koutou kia tanumia e ahau toku tupapaku kia ngaro atu i taku tirohanga, whakarongo mai ki ahau, ka tohe atu ki a Eperona, tama a Tohara, moku,
9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which [is] in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
Kia homai e ia ki ahau tana ana, a Makapera, i te pito o tona wahi oneone; kia homai e ia ki ahau i waenganui i a koutou mo nga moni e rite ana hei utu, kia puritia e ahau hei urupa.
10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, [even] of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
Na ko Eperona i roto i nga tama a Hete e noho ana: na ka whakahoki a Eperona Hiti ki a Aperahama, me te whakarongo ano nga tama a Hete, me nga tangata katoa hoki i tomo i te kuwaha o tona pa, ka mea,
11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that [is] therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
Kahore, e toku ariki, whakarongo ki ahau: ka hoatu e ahau tena wahi ki a koe, me te ana i reira, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe; ka hoatu e ahau i te aroaro o nga tama o toku iwi: tanumia tou tupapaku.
12 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
Na ka tuohu a Aperahama i te aroaro o nga tangata whenua,
13 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead there.
Ka korero ki a Eperona, me te whakarongo ano nga tangata whenua, ka mea, Erangi ki te homai e koe, whakarongo ki ahau: ka hoatu e ahau he hiriwa ki a koe mo taua wahi; tangohia, a ka tanumia e ahau toku tupapaku ki reira.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
Na ko te whakahokinga a Eperona ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia,
15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land [is worth] four hundred shekels of silver; what [is] that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
E toku ariki, whakarongo mai ki ahau: he wahi whenua e wha rau nga hekere hiriwa tona utu, he aha tena i waenganui oku, ou? tanumia tou tupapaku.
16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the merchant.
Na ka whakarongo a Aperahama ki a Eperona; a paunatia ana e Aperahama ki a Eperona te hiriwa i korerotia e ia i te aroaro o nga tama a Hete, e wha rau nga hekere hiriwa, no nga moni e tangohia ana e nga kaihokohoko.
17 And the field of Ephron, which [was] in Machpelah, which [was] before Mamre, the field, and the cave which [was] therein, and all the trees that [were] in the field, that [were] in all the borders round about, were made sure
Na whakapumautia ana te wahi oneone o Eperona, i Makapera, i te ritenga o Mamere, te oneone, me te ana i reira, me nga rakau katoa i runga i te oneone, i roto i ona rohe katoa, a tawhio noa,
18 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
Hei wahi mo Aperahama, i te tirohanga a nga tama a Hete, i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa i tomo i te kuwaha o tona pa.
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan.
A muri iho i tenei ka tanumia e Aperahama a Hara, tana wahine, ki roto ki te ana, i te wahi i Makapera i te ritenga o Mamere, ara o Heperona i te whenua o Kanaana.
20 And the field, and the cave that [is] therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
Heoi whakapumautia ana e nga tama a Hete taua wahi me te ana i reira mo Aperahama, kia puritia hei tanumanga.
