< Genesis 23 >

1 And the life of Sarah is one hundred and twenty-seven years—years of the life of Sarah;
Sara nodak kuom higni mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabiriyo.
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.
Notho Kiriath Arba (ma tiende ni Hebron) e piny Kanaan, kendo Ibrahim noywago Sara kendo nodengo ahinya.
3 And Abraham rises up from the presence of his dead, and speaks to the sons of Heth, saying,
Eka Ibrahim noa malo e but ringre chiege kendo owuoyo gi jo-Hiti kowachonegi niya,
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.”
“An mana jadak kendo wendo e kindu. Miyauru kamoro angʼiew moromo kar yiko.”
5 And the sons of Heth answer Abraham, saying to him,
Jo-Hiti nodwoko Ibrahim niya,
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.”
“Jaduongʼ, winjwa in jatelo maduongʼ e kindwa. Ik aika ngʼati e bur-wa moro amora miyiero. Onge ngʼato e dierwa mabiro tami yiko ngʼati e bure.”
7 And Abraham rises and bows himself to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
Eka Ibrahim nochungʼ mokulore e nyim jo-Hiti.
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;
Nowachonegi niya, “Ka uyie mondo aik ngʼata, to winjauru kendo ukwana Efron wuod Zohar
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.”
mondo mi ousna bure man Makpela manie giko puothe. Kwayeuru mondo ousnago e nengo mowinjore mondo obed kara mar yiko.”
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,
Efron ja-Hiti noyudo obet piny e kind jog-gi kendo nodwoko Ibrahim ka jo-Hiti duto ma nobiro e dhoranga dalano winjo.
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.”
Nowachone niya, “Ooyo ruodha, winja, amiyi puodho, kendo amiyi bur man kanyo. Amiyigo e nyim jowagi duto mondo iyikie ngʼati motho.”
12 And Abraham bows himself before the people of the land,
Ibrahim nochako okulore e nyim jo-Hiti,
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.”
kendo nowacho ne Efron ka giwinjo niya, “Ka iyie to winja. Abiro chulo nengo mar puodhono. Yie achuli mondo mi aik ngʼata kanyo.”
14 And Ephron answers Abraham, saying to him,
Efron nodwoko Ibrahim niya,
15 “My lord, hear me: the land—four hundred shekels of silver; between me and you, what [is] it? Bury your dead.”
“Winja ruodha; nengo lowono oromo kilo angʼwen gi nus mar fedha. To en angʼo mathagowa; ik ngʼati.”
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.
Ibrahim noyie gi dwaro mar Efron kendo nomiye nengo mar puodho mane osewacho ka jo-Hiti winjo: ma en kilo angʼwen gi nus mar fedha kaluwore gi rapim mane jo-ohala tiyogo.
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,
Omiyo puoth Efron man Makpela machiegni gi Mamre kaachiel gi lowo kod bur mosekuny gi yien duto mane ni e puodhono,
18 to Abraham by purchase, before the eyes of the sons of Heth, among all entering the gate of his city.
nodoko mwandu mag Ibrahim e nyim jo-Hiti duto mane obiro kaka joneno e dhoranga dala.
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;
Bangʼe Ibrahim noiko chiege Sara e bur mane ni e puodho ma Makpela machiegni gi Mamre (man Hebron) e piny Kanaan.
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.
Kuom mano puodhono gi bur mane nitie jo-Hiti nomiyo Ibrahim kaka kare mar yiko.
