Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah came to be, a hundred and twenty-seven years, —the years of the life of Sarah.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Saraha dia fito amby roa-polo amby zato taona; izany no taona niainan’ i Saraha.
2 And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba, the same, is Hebron in the land of Canaan, —and Abraham went in to wail for Sarah and to weep for her.
Ary Saraha dia maty tao Kiriat-arba (Hebrona izany) tany amin’ ny tany Kanana; dia tonga Abrahama hisaona an’ i Saraha sy hitomany azy.
3 And Abraham rose up from over the face of his dead, —and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying;
Ary Abrahama nitsangana niala avy teo anilan’ ny fatin’ ny vadiny, dia niteny tamin’ ny taranak’ i Heta ka nanao hoe:
4 A sojourner and settler, am I with you, —Give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, That I may bury my dead, from before me.
Vahiny sy mpivahiny eto aminareo aho; omeo tany fandevenana eto aminareo aho mba handevenako ny fatin’ ny vadiko tsy ho eto anatrehako.
5 And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him:
Dia namaly an’ i Abrahama ny taranak’ i Heta ka nanao taminy hoe:
6 Hear us, my lord! A prince of God, art thou in our midst, In the choice of our buryingplaces, bury thy dead, —Not, a man from among us his, burying-place, will withhold from thee, from burying thy dead.
Mihainoa anay, tompokolahy: andrian-dehibe eto aminay ianao; koa izay tsara indrindra amin’ ny fasanay no andeveno ny fatin’ ny vadinao; tsy misy aminay hiaro ny fasany aminao tsy handevenanao ny fatin’ ny vadinao.
7 And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth;
Dia nitsangana Abrahama ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny taranak’ i Heta tompon-tany,
8 and spake with them, saying, —If it is with the consent of your minds that I should bury my dead from before me, hear me, and intercede for me, with Ephron son of Zohar:
dia niteny taminy ka nanao hoe: Raha sitrakareo ary ny handevenako ny fatin’ ny vadiko mba tsy ho eto anatrehako, dia mihainoa ahy, ka mba iangavio kely amin’ i Efrona, zanak’ i Zohara,
9 That he would give me, the cave of Machpelah, which pertaineth unto him, which is within the bounds of his field, —For full silver, let him give it me in your midst, For a possession of a buryingplace.
mba homeny ahy ny zohy ao Makpela izay azy, dia ilay eo amin’ ny sisin’ ny sahany; amin’ izay vola tokom-bidiny no aoka hanomezany azy ho ahy eto aminareo ho tany fandevenana.
10 Now, Ephron, was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth, —so Ephron the Hittite responded to Abraham, in the ears of the sons of Heth, even all that were entering the gate of his city, saying:
Ary Efrona nipetraka teo amin’ ny taranak’ i Heta; dia namaly an’ i Abrahama Efrona Hetita teo anatrehan’ ny taranak’ i Heta, dia izay rehetra niditra teo am-bavahadin’ ny tanànany, ka nanao hoe:
11 Nay, my lord, hear me, The field, have I given to thee And, the cave that is therein, to thee, have I given it, —In the eyes of the sons of my people, have I given it thee Bury thy dead.
Tsia, tompokolahy, fa mihainoa ahy: ny saha dia omeko anao, ary ny zohy izay eo anatiny koa dia omeko anao; eto imason’ ny zanaky ny fireneko no anomezako azy ho anao; aleveno ny fatin’ ny vadinao.
12 So Abraham boweth himself down, before the people of the land:
Ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny olona tompon-tany Abrahama,
13 and spake unto Ephron in the ears of the people of the land saying, Only if, thou, wouldst, hear me, —I have given the silver of the field Take it of me, That I may bury my dead here.
dia niteny tamin’ i Efrona teo anatrehan’ ny olona tompon-tany ka nanao hoe: Kanefa raha mba hihaino ahy ihany ianao, dia homeko ny vidin’ ny saha; raiso amiko izany, dia haleviko ao ny fatin’ ny vadiko.
14 And Ephron responded to Abraham, saying to him,
Ary Efrona dia namaly an’ i Abrahama ka nanao taminy hoe:
15 My lord, hear me, —Land worth four hundred shekels of silver—betwixt me and thee, what is that? And thy dead., bury thou.
Tompokolahy, mihainoa ahy: tany tokony ho lafo sekely volafotsy efa-jato, inona moa izany amintsika roa lahy? fa aleveno ny fatin’ ny vadinao.
16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron, and Abraham weighed out to Ephron the silver of which he had spoken in the ears of the sons of Heth, —four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant,
Dia neken’ i Abrahama ny tenin’ i Efrona, ka nolanjainy ho azy ny vola izay efa voalazany teo anatrehan’ ny taranak’ i Heta, dia sekely volafotsy efa-jato lanin’ ny mpivarotra.
17 So was confirmed the field of Ephron, which is in Machpelah, which is before Mamre, —the field and the cave which is therein, and all the timber which was in the field, which was in all the boundary thereof round about,
Ary ny sahan’ i Efrona, ilay teo Makpela, izay tandrifin’ i Mamre, dia ny saha sy ny zohy izay teo anatiny mbamin’ ny hazo rehetra izay teo anatiny, izay teo amin’ ny sisiny rehetra manodidina, dia natao varo-maty
18 to Abraham as a purchase in the eyes of the sons of Heth, —with all who were entering the gate of his city.
tamini’ i Abrahama ho fananana, teo imason’ ny taranak’ i Heta, dia izay rehetra niditra teo am-bavahadin’ ny tanànany.
19 And after this, did Abraham bury Sarah his wife, within the cave of the field of Machpelah, over against Mamre, the same, is Hebron, —in the land of Canaan.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, Abrahama dia nandevina an’ i Saraha vadiny tao amin’ ny zohy tao amin’ ny saha Makpela tandrifin’ i Mamre (Hebrona izany), ao amin’ ny tany Kanana;
20 So was confirmed the field with the cave which was therein to Abraham, for a possession of a buryingplace, —from the sons of Heth.
ka ny saha mbamin’ ny zohy izay ao anatiny dia nataon’ ny taranak’ i Heta varo-maty tamin’ i Abrahama ho tany fandevenana.
