Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarrha was an hundred and twenty-seven years.
Sera dị ndụ ruo narị afọ na iri afọ abụọ na asaa.
2 And Sarrha died in the city of Arboc, which is in the valley, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan; and Abraam came to lament for Sarrha and to mourn.
Ọ nwụrụ na Kiriat Arba (nke bụ Hebrọn), nʼala Kenan. Ebraham ruru ụjụ nʼihi Sera, kwaa akwa nke ukwuu nʼihi ọnwụ ya.
3 And Abraam stood up from before his dead; and Abraam spoke to the sons of Chet, saying,
Ebraham sitere nʼebe ozu nwunye ya dị pụọ, jekwuru ụmụ Het gwa ha sị,
4 I am a sojourner and a stranger among you, give me therefore possession of a burying-place among you, and I will bury my dead away from me.
“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 And the sons of Chet answered to Abraam, saying, Not so, Sir,
Ụmụ Het zara Ebraham sị,
6 but hear us; you are in the midst of us a king from God; bury your dead in our choice sepulchres, for not one of us will by any means withhold his sepulchre from you, so that you should not bury your dead there.
“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 And Abraam rose up and did obeisance to the people of the land, to the sons of Chet.
Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham biliri kpọọ isiala nʼihu ndị nwe ala, bụ ndị Het,
8 And Abraam spoke to them, saying, If you have it in your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, listen to me, and speak for me to Ephron the son Saar.
sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ ọchịchọ unu ka m lie onye m nwụrụ anwụ, geenụ m ntị ma rịọrọ m Efrọn nwa Zoha,
9 And let him give me the double cave which he has, which is in a part of his field, let him give it me for the money it is worth for possession of a burying-place 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 Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Chet, and Ephron the Chettite answered Abraam and spoke in the hearing of the sons of Chet, and of all who entered the city, 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 Attend to me, my lord, and hear me, I give to you the field and the cave which is in it; I have given it you before all my country men; bury your 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 And Abraam did obeisance before the people of the land.
Ọzọ Ebraham kpọrọ isiala nye ndị nwe ala,
13 And he said in the ears of Ephron before the people of the land, Since you are on my side, hear me; take the price of the field from 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 But Ephron answered Abraam, saying,
Efrọn zara Ebraham,
15 Nay, my lord, I have heard indeed, the land [is worth] four hundred silver didrachmas, but what can this be between me and you? nay, do you bury your 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 And Abraam listened to Ephron, and Abraam rendered to Ephron the money, which he mentioned in the ears of the sons of Chet, four hundred didrachmas of silver approved with merchants.
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 And the field of Ephron, which was in Double Cave, which is opposite Mambre, the field and the cave, which was in it, and every tree which was in the field, and whatever is in its borders round about, were made sure in its borders round about, were 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 to Abraam for a possession, before the sons of Chet, and all that entered into the city.
ghọrọ nke Ebraham dịka ihe nzụta ya nʼihu ụmụ Het, nʼihu ndị niile ndị bịara nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata obodo ahụ.
19 After this Abraam buried Sarrha his wife in the Double Cave of the field, which is opposite Mambre, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan.
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 So the field and the cave which was in it were made sure to Abraam for possession of a burying place, by the sons of Chet.
Ya mere, ala ahụ na ọgba dị nʼime ya ka ndị Het resiri Ebraham ka ọ bụrụ nke ya, ebe a na-eli ozu.
