Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah is one hundred and twenty-seven years—years of the life of Sarah;
Sarah kah a hingnah khaw kum ya kum kul kum rhih lo. Sarah kah a hingnah kum tah amah he coeng ni.
2 and Sarah dies in Kirjath-Arba, which [is] Hebron, in the land of Canaan, and Abraham goes to mourn for Sarah, and to lament her.
Sarah te Kanaan kho Hebron kah Kiriatharba ah duek. Te dongah Sarah rhaengsae ham Abraham cet tih a rhah thil.
3 And Abraham rises up from the presence of his dead, and speaks to the sons of Heth, saying,
Te phoeiah Abraham te duek kung lamkah thoo tih Kheth ca rhoek te a voek tih,
4 “A sojourner and a settler I [am] with you; give to me a possession of a burying-place with you, and I bury my dead from before me.”
“Kai tah nangmih taengah yinlai neh lampah ni, nangmih kah khohut phuel te kai taengah m'pae mai, ka mikhmuh lamkah ka hlang duek ka up thai ham khaw,” a ti nah.
5 And the sons of Heth answer Abraham, saying to him,
Tedae Kheth ca rhoek loh Abraham a doo uh tih amah taengah,
6 “Hear us, my lord; a prince of God [are] you in our midst; in the choice of our burying-places bury your dead: none of our burying-places do we withhold from you, from burying your dead.”
“Ka boeipa kaimih ol he hnatun lah. Kaimih khui ah namah ni Pathen khoboei. Kaimih kah phuel saelh khuiah na rhok te up ngawn. Na duek vaengah up ham tah kaimih kah hlang loh a phuel te nang taengah hloh mahpawh,” a ti nauh.
7 And Abraham rises and bows himself to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
Te dongah Abraham te thoo tih tolrhum kah pilnam hmai neh Kheth ca rhoek hmaiah bakop.
8 and he speaks with them, saying, “If it is your desire to bury my dead from before me, hear me, and meet for me with Ephron, son of Zoar;
Amih te koep a voek tih, “Ka mikhmuh kah aka duek he up ham nangmih hinglu ah ni a om atah kai ol hnatang uh lamtah kai yueng la Zohar capa Ephron te hloep uh.
9 and he gives to me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which [is] in the extremity of his field; for full money does he give it to me, in your midst, for a possession of a burying-place.”
Anih kah lohma bawt ah aka om amah hut Makpelah kah lungko te kai taengah m'pae mai saeh. Tangka a ting yet la m'pae saeh lamtah nang lakli ah kamah kah phuel khohut la om saeh,” a ti nah.
10 And Ephron is sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth, and Ephron the Hittite answers Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, of all those entering the gate of his city, saying,
Te vaengah Kheth ca rhoek lakli ah Ephron ngol. Te dongah Khitti hoel Ephron loh khopuei vongka la aka lo Kheth ca rhoek boeih kah a hna ah Abraham te a doo tih,
11 “No, my lord, hear me: the field I have given to you, and the cave that [is] in it, to you I have given it; before the eyes of the sons of my people I have given it to you—bury your dead.”
“Pawh, ka boeipa, kai ol hnatun lah, khohmuen te nang kan paek coeng dongah a khuikah lungko khaw ka pilnam koca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah nang kan paek vanbangla nang kan paek phuel ah na rhok khaw up,” a ti nah.
12 And Abraham bows himself before the people of the land,
Te dongah Abraham te tolrhum pilnam hmai ah bakop tih,
13 and speaks to Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, “Only—if you would hear me—I have given the money of the field—accept from me, and I bury my dead there.”
tolrhum pilnam kah hna yaak ah Ephron te, “Nang khaw kai ol he hnatun mai. Kai lamkah khohmuen phu tangka kan paek vetih na doe koinih ka rhok khaw pahoi ka up sue,” a ti nah.
14 And Ephron answers Abraham, saying to him,
Tedae Ephron loh Abraham te a doo tih amah taengah,
15 “My lord, hear me: the land—four hundred shekels of silver; between me and you, what [is] it? Bury your dead.”
“Ka boeipa, kai ol hnatun lah. Khohmuen phu tangka shekel ya li te kai neh nang laklo ah bahamnim ca? Tahae ah khaw na rhok te up ngawn,” a ti nah.
16 And Abraham listens to Ephron, and Abraham weighs to Ephron the silver which he has spoken of in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred silver shekels, passing with the merchant.
Abraham loh Ephron te a rhoi. Te dongah thimpom taengkah vanbangla tangka shekel ya li te Kheth ca rhoek kah hna yaak ah a tae tih Abraham loh Ephron ham tangka a thuek pah.
17 And established are the field of Ephron, which [is] in Machpelah, which [is] before Mamre, the field and the cave which [is] in it, and all the trees which [are] in the field, which [are] around all its border,
Te dongah Mamre khohmuen kaep, Makpelah kah Ephron lo neh a khuikah lungko te khaw, lohma li neh a kaepvai rhi boeih kah thing boeih khaw,
18 to Abraham by purchase, before the eyes of the sons of Heth, among all entering the gate of his city.
khopuei vongka la aka lo boeih hmai neh Kheth ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Abraham kah kho lai la a saii.
19 And after this Abraham has buried his wife Sarah at the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (which [is] Hebron), in the land of Canaan;
Te phoei daengah Kanaan kho Hebron Mamre kaep, Makpelah lo kah lungko ah a yuu Sarah te Abraham loh a up.
20 and established are the field, and the cave which [is] in it, to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place, from the sons of Heth.
Te dongah lohma neh a khuikah lungko te Kheth ca rhoek taeng lamkah Abraham phuel khohut la a hlaih.
