Genesis 23
1 And the lifetime of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years; [these] were the years of the life of Sarah.
Zato tsi-roapolo fito’amby taoñe ty haantera’ i Sarà, ty taon-kavelo’ i Sarà,
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.
ie nivilasy e Kiriàte-arbà (toe i Kebròne) an-tane’ Kanàne ao; le nimbeo t’i Avrahame handala i Sarà vaho hirovetse aze.
3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke unto the sons of Heth, saying,
Niongak’ amy vilasi’ey t’i Avrahame vaho nisaontsy amo nte-Kheteo, ami’ty hoe,
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.
Renetane naho mpañialo ama’ areo iraho; anoloro hanañañe ama’ areo handentehako i vilasikoy tsy ho aolom-pihaino.
5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him:
Le hoe ty natoi’ o nte-Kheteo amy Avrahame,
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.
Ijanjiño roandriako; Mpifeleke ama’ay irehe. Alenteho an-kibory lengo’e ama’ay i vilasi’oy, tsy ia ama’ay ty hitañe azo amy lona’ey tsy handeveña’o i vilasi’oy.
7 And Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
Niongake t’i Avrahame vaho nibokok’ am’ ondati’ i taneio, amo ana’ i Kheteo,
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,
le nisaontsia’e ty hoe, Naho no’areo ty handentehako tsy ho aolom-pihainoko i vilasikoy, le janjiño, vaho halalio t’i Efrone ana’ i Tsokare
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.
ty hanolora’e ahiko i lakato’ i Makpelà ama’ey; i añ’ ila’ i tete’eiy. Ami’ty vola-foty do’e ty hanolora’e ahy ho fanañako añivo’ areo ao ho fandentehako.
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,
Niambesatse añivo’ o nte-Kheteo t’i Efrone; vaho hoe ty natoi’ i Efrone nte-Khete amy Avrahame am-pijanjiña’ ze hene nte-Khete mpiheo mb’an-dalam-bei’ i rovaio:
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.
Aiy! ry Androanavio: Janjiño iraho, fa omeiko azo i tonday, naho atoloko azo i lakato ama’ey. Añatrefa’ o ana’ ondatiko etoañe ty anolorako azo; aleveño i vilasi’o.
12 And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Aa le nibokok’ añatrefa’ ondati’ i taneio t’i Avrahame,
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.
vaho nanao ty hoe amy Efrone am-pijanjiña’ ondati’ i taneio, Aa naho mete le janjiño o ahikoo! Hitolorako drala amy tetekey; andrambeso amako le haleveko ao i vilasikoy.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
Nanoiñe i Avrahame t’i Efrone ami’ty hoe,
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.
O talèko, Inao; mañeva 400 sekelem-bolafoty i taney, fa inon-jay añivon-tika? Aleveño i vilasi’oy.
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.
Niantofa’ i Avrahame t’i Efrone le linanja’e amy Efrone i volafoty tsinara’e am-pijanjiña’ o nte-Kheteoy, i sekele volafoty 400 an-danjam-pandetake rey.
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
Aa le tsitsike voalily ty tonda’ i Efrone e Makpelà ao atiñana’ i Mamrè añe, i tetekey reketse ty lakato’e ao, naho ze hatae amy tetekey naho ze mifahetse amy taney,
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.
amy Avrahame ho fanaña’e añatrefa’ o ana’ i Kheteo, aolo’ ze mpimoak’ an-dalambei’ i rovay.
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.
Añe izay le naleve’ i Avrahame amy lakato an-tete’ i Makpelày miatreke i Mamrè (toe i Khebrone) an-tane Kanàne ao t’i Sarà.
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.
Songa pinate’ o ana’ i Kheteo ho a i Avrahame i tonday rekets’ i lakato ama’e ao ho fandetehañe.
