< Genesis 23 >

1 Sarah [Princess] lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah [Princess]’s life.
Sera'a 127ni'a zagegafu maniteno,
2 Sarah [Princess] died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan [Humbled]. Abraham [Father of a multitude] came to mourn for Sarah [Princess], and to weep for her.
Kiriat-arba kumate fri'ne. Menina ana kumara Kenani mopafi me'neankino, Hebronie hu'za nehaze. Hanki Abrahamu'a tusi'za huno Serankura asunku nehuno zavi ate'ne.
3 Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the children of Heth [Trembling fear], saying,
Sera fri kerfare'ma Abrahamu'a mani'nereti netreno otino Hiti mofavre'zaga amanage huno ome zamantahige'ne.
4 “I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
Tamagra antahi'naze, nagra mopa agafa nera omani'noanki, amne tamagri mopafi emani'noe. Hagi a'nimo'a fri'nege'na mopa miza hu'na anampi ome asenteku tamantahinegoe.
5 The children of Heth [Trembling fear] answered Abraham [Father of a multitude], saying to him,
Hige'za Hiti mofavre naga'moza amanage hu'za Abrahamuna asami'naze.
6 “Sh'ma ·hear obey· us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
Kama antahio ra ne'moka, kagra ra kva ne' tagranena mani'nane. Knare'ma huno kavesinia matipi asenteku'ma hananketa, amne kamigahune. Hagi aza'o ana matimofo nafa'a mani'nenimo'a i'o osugahie. Amne kamina ana matimatipina ome asentegahane.
7 Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth [Trembling fear].
Abrahamu'a Hiti mofavre'mokizmi zamufi otino, Maka vahe zamufi kepri huno anage hu'ne.
8 He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, sh'ma ·hear obey· me, and entreat for me to Ephron [Fawn-like] the son of Zohar,
Hanki antahiho! A' ka'ama asentesane hanuta, nagri nagi erita vuta Zohari nemofo, Efroni'ene ome keaga hiho.
9 that he may give me the cave of Machpelah [Double], which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me among you for a possession of a burying-place.”
Ome antahigenkeno Makpela mopa naminke'na, ana mopa agentega havegampi Serana ome asentaneno. Ana mopamo'a nagri'za segahie. Hanki hu izoma hanige'na hakaremota tamufi ana mopa mizahu fatgo hugahue.
10 Now Ephron [Fawn-like] was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth [Trembling fear]. Ephron [Fawn-like] the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear] answered Abraham [Father of a multitude] in the hearing of the children of Heth [Trembling fear], even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
Hankino Efroni'a ana Hiti mofavre'mokizmi amunompi mani'ne. Efroni'a Hiti ne'kino rankuma'mofo kafante emani'naza vahe'mokizmi zamagesafi, ke nona'a huno Abrahamuna asami'ne,
11 “No, my lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
Efroni'a amanage hu'ne, ra ne'moka kama antahio, havegana miza osegahane. E'i ana mopane haveganena maka'a naga'nimokizmi zamufi huvempa hu'na meni ana mopa kamigahue. Kamisnugenka anampi fri kerfa'a ome asente'gahane.
12 Abraham [Father of a multitude] bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Anage higeno Abrahamu'a antahima ami'za kazigati maka vahe zamufi kepri hu'ne.
13 He spoke to Ephron [Fawn-like] in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please sh'ma ·hear obey· me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
Abrahamu'a ana vahe zamufi amanage huno Efronina asami'ne. Efroniga muse (plis) hugantoanki kama antahio, nagra menina ana mopa miza hugahue. Hanki zagoma kamisnuana, erige'na ana mopafi a'nimofo fri kerfa ome asenta'neno.
14 Ephron [Fawn-like] answered Abraham [Father of a multitude], saying to him,
Efroni'a ana naneke nentahino, amanage huno Abrahamuna kenona'a asami'ne.
15 “My lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· unto me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels [10 lb; 4.54 kg] of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”
Kama antahio, ra vahe'moka, ama mopamofo mizama'a 400'a silva me'neanagi amu'nonti'afina osi'zane. Amne fri kerfa'a ome asentegahane.
16 Abraham [Father of a multitude] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· to Ephron [Fawn-like]. Abraham [Father of a multitude] weighed to Ephron [Fawn-like] the silver which he had named in the audience of the children of Heth [Trembling fear], four hundred shekels [10 lb; 4.54 kg] of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard [where one shekel is 0.4 oz; 11.34 g].
E'inage nehigeno Abrahamu'a mago rimpa nehuno, mago'a zago'a refko huno Efroni eme ami'ne. Efroni'a agra'a kehia avamente 400 ti'a silva zago hakare vahe zamufi eme ami'ne.
17 So the field of Ephron [Fawn-like], which was in Machpelah [Double], which was before Mamre [Bitter, Fatness], the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded
Efroni mopa Makpela Mamre kazigama avugosama hunte'nea mopa erigeno, ana mopafima me'nea havegane, zafane, mopane, hakarezanena ami vagare'ne.
18 to Abraham [Father of a multitude] for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth [Trembling fear], before all who went in at the gate of his city.
Hanki hakare'zana Abrahamu'ma eri nafa'a hanigu Hiti ne'mofavre naga'mo'za ran kuma'mofo kahante ke refko nehaza vahe'zmufi ami vagare'naze.
19 After this, Abraham [Father of a multitude] buried Sarah [Princess] his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah [Double] before Mamre [Bitter, Fatness] (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan [Humbled].
E'ina huteno Abrahamu'a Serana Makpela havegampi, Mamre kaziga avugosa hunte'nea havegampi ome asente'ne. Ana kuma agi'a Hebron hu'za nehaza kumakino, Kenani mopafi me'ne.
20 The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham [Father of a multitude] for a possession of a burying place by the children of Heth [Trembling fear].
Mopane, havegane anampima me'nea zanena, Abrahamu naga'ma asezmante mope hu'za Hiti mofavre naga'mo'za ami vagare'naze.
