< Genesis 23 >
1 And the lifetime of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years; [these] were the years of the life of Sarah.
Sarah chu kum jakhat le kum som ni le kum sagi jen ahing in,
2 And Sarah died in Kiryath-arba, the same in Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Sarah chu Kiriath-arba kiti muna athi tan, hichu Hebron kiti Canaan gam sunga um ahi, hichun Abraham chu Sarah umlou jeh a lunghel le mitlhi long in achup in ahi.
3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke unto the sons of Heth, saying,
Hichun ajinu long adalhah ding jeh in Hit mite ho kom a aseiyin,
4 A stranger and a sojourner I am with you; give me a possession for a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
“Keima gam chom mi kahin nangho lah a maljin bou kahi. Gambeh neo khat nei choh sah un, chuti le keiman ka jinu hi phaten kivui thei ing'e,” ati.
5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him:
Hit mite ho chun Abraham adonbut un,
6 Hear us, my lord; a prince of God thou art among us; in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, so that thou mayest bury thy dead.
Ja umtah kapu thuseiyu ngaiyin, nangma Pathen a leng chapa banga kei ho lah a uma keiho lhan khuh aphapen khat'a khun na thilong chu vui jeng in, ka lah uva mihem khat cha jong hi alhan khuh na itpeh a na thilong na vuisah lou ding aum poi,” atiuve.
7 And Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
Hichun Abraham ading doh in agamsung mipite Hite miho chu salam bol din abohkhup tai.
8 And he spoke with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and intercede for me with Ephron the son of Zochar,
Abraham'in aseiyin, “Nangman nei kithopi nom kahen ahithei dingle Ephron Zohar chapa koma neisei peh uvin.”
9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which is his, which is at the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me, for a possession as a burying-place amongst you.
“Ajeh chu agamgi chin a um ama Machpelah songlhan keo khu eipeh theiya ahile ken jong lhan muna kaman jing dingin nangho umpet tah hin aman alhingset in peng kate,” ati.
10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
Ephron chu mipi lah a atou pet ahin, Abraham chu adonbut in midang hon jong athusei chu aja cheh un, Hite mite ho khopi sunga umjouse jah ah hitin aseiye.
11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field I give to thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it to thee; in the presence of the sons of my people do I give it to thee; bury thy dead.
“Hithei ponte ka Pakai,” tin Abraham chu adonbut'e, “Lungset tah in ka thusei hi ngaiyin, keiman ka gam sunga adam lai, atong lai, kapeh ding nahi. Tuhin mipi ho masanga nangma kapeh ding nahi, chule nangman naji nu alongdamsa navui thei ahi.”
12 And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Abraham chu agam mipiho masang a abohkhup kit in,
13 And he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wouldst only hear me; I will give the money for the field, take it off me, and I will bury my dead there.
Hichun Abraham'in Ephron le mipi atou cheng ho jah'a aseikit in, “Hithei ponte, lungset tah in ngaiyun, nangho koma ka choh nom lheh e, keiman gam man chu ka peh lhing nom e, ka loinu longdamsa kavui thei na ding in,” ati.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
Hichun Ephron in Abraham adonbut in,
15 My lord, hearken unto me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and thee? only bury thy dead.
Ka Pakai lungset tah in ngaiyin hiche gam man hi dangka jali ahiye, amavang eini golcha kingailut nahi mantam ahi? che inlang na loinu long damsa chu gavui tan ati.
16 And Abraham understood the meaning of Ephron; and Abraham weighed out to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant.
Hichun Abraham chun Ephron in aseijat dangka jali chu apetan, hiche lai phat na kailhang thil man dung jui jin, thil kichoh dan ho chu Hit mite lah a tehse hon amu cheh uve.
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 its borders round about, were made sure
Abraham'in Ephron koma gam Machpelah kiti Mamre koma um chu acho doh tai. Hiche mun in ahop chu ahile atong, adam sung, chule akoma thingphung um jouse jong ahi.
18 Unto Abraham for a bought possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
Abraham dinga chu anei agou ahitan, hichea chun Hit mite kelkot kom a chenghon jong ahe soh un ahi.
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre, which is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
Phat chomkhat jouvin Abraham'in ajinu Sarah long Machpelah a Mamre koma Hebron kiti Canaan gamsunga avuitan ahi.
20 And the field, with the cave that is therein, was made sure unto Abraham for a possession as a burying-place by the sons of Heth.
Aleimun le aleilaiya songlhan keo chu Hite miten alhan mun dingin Abraham achansah tauve.
