Genesis 23
1 And they were [the] life of Sarah one hundred year[s] and twenty year[s] and seven years [the] years of [the] life of Sarah.
Sara aatũũrire muoyo agĩkinyia mĩaka igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja.
2 And she died Sarah at Kiriath Arba that [is] Hebron in [the] land of Canaan and he went Abraham to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
Nake aakuĩrĩire Kiriathu-Ariba (na nokuo Hebironi), bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani; nake Iburahĩmu agĩthiĩ, agĩcakaĩra Sara na akĩmũrĩrĩra.
3 And he arose Abraham from on [the] face of dead his and he spoke to [the] people of Heth saying.
Ningĩ Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra akiuma hau mwĩrĩ wa mũtumia wake warĩ, agĩthiĩ akĩarĩria Ahiti akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
4 [am] a sojourner And a resident alien I with you give to me a possession of a burial site with you so let me bury dead my from to before me.
“Niĩ ndĩ mũgeni na mũgendi gũkũ kwanyu. Nyenderiai handũ gũkũ ha gũthikana nĩgeetha hote gũthika mũtumia wakwa ũrĩa ũkuĩte.”
5 And they answered [the] people of Heth Abraham saying to him.
Nao Ahiti magĩcookeria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ:
6 Listen to us - O lord my [are] a prince of God you in midst of us in [the] choicest of burial sites our bury dead your anyone of us burial site his not he will withhold from you from burying dead your.
“Mũthuuri ũyũ, ta tũthikĩrĩrie. Wee ũrĩ mũthamaki ũrĩ hinya gatagatĩ-inĩ gaitũ. Thika mũtumia waku mbĩrĩra-inĩ ĩmwe ya iria njega ciitũ. Gũtirĩ mũndũ witũ ũngĩkũgiria mbĩrĩra ya gũthika mũtumia waku.”
7 And he arose Abraham and he bowed down to [the] people of the land to [the] people of Heth.
Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya Ahiti, andũ acio ene bũrũri.
8 And he spoke with them saying if there with desire your to bury dead my from to before me listen to me and entreat for me Ephron [the] son of Zohar.
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩmwĩtĩkĩrĩte thike mũtumia wakwa-rĩ, gĩĩthikĩrĩriei, na mũthaithanĩrĩre kũrĩ Efironi mũrũ wa Zoharu,
9 So may he give to me [the] cave of Machpelah which [belongs] to him which [is] at [the] end of field his for silver full let him give it to me in midst of you to a possession of a burial site.
nĩguo anyenderie ngurunga ya Makipela, ĩrĩa yake ĩrĩ mũthia-inĩ wa gĩthaka gĩake. Mũũriei anyenderie na thogora ũrĩa ũmĩigana, ĩtuĩke handũ hakwa ha gũthikana gũkũ kwanyu.”
10 And Ephron [was] sitting in among [the] people of Heth and he answered Ephron the Hethite Abraham in [the] ears of [the] people of Heth to all [those who were] entering [the] gate of city his saying.
Nake Efironi ũcio Mũhiti aikarĩte thĩ o hau gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ arĩa angĩ; tondũ ũcio agĩcookeria Iburahĩmu akĩiguagwo nĩ Ahiti othe arĩa mookĩte kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu rĩake.
11 No O lord my listen to me the field I give to you and the cave which [is] in it to you I give it to [the] eyes of [the] sons of people my I give it to you bury dead your.
Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, mwathi wakwa, thikĩrĩria; nĩndakũhe gĩthaka kĩu, na nĩndakũhe ngurunga ĩyo ĩrĩ thĩinĩ wakĩo. Ndakũhe andũ akwa makĩonaga. Thika mũtumia waku.”
12 And he bowed down Abraham before [the] people of the land.
O rĩngĩ Iburahĩmu akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya andũ acio ene bũrũri,
13 And he spoke to Ephron in [the] ears of [the] people of the land saying nevertheless if you if listen to me I give [the] money of the field take [it] from me so let me bury dead my there.
na akĩarĩria Efironi andũ acio makĩiguaga, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra gũũthikĩrĩria. Nĩngũrĩha thogora wa gĩthaka kĩu. Amũkĩra mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, nĩgeetha hote gũthika mũtumia wakwa kuo.”
14 And he answered Ephron Abraham saying to him.
Efironi agĩcookeria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ,
15 O lord my listen to me land of four hundred shekel[s] of silver between me and between you what? [is] it and dead your bury.
“Ta thikĩrĩria, mwathi wakwa; gĩthaka kĩu kĩngiuma cekeri magana mana ma betha, no rĩrĩ, kĩu nĩ kĩĩ gatagatĩ gaku na niĩ? Thiĩ ũthike mũtumia waku.”
16 And he listened Abraham to Ephron and he weighed out Abraham for Ephron the money which he had spoken in [the] ears of [the] people of Heth four hundred shekel[s] of silver passing along to the trader.
Iburahĩmu agĩĩtĩkĩra thogora wa Efironi na akĩmũthimĩra betha iria aagwetete andũ a Ahiti othe makĩiguaga; cekeri magana mana cia betha cia mũigana wa gĩthimo kĩa onjorithia.
17 And it was confirmed - [the] field of Ephron which [was] in Machpelah which [was] before Mamre the field and the cave which [was] in it and every tree which [was] in the field which [was] in all border its round about.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gĩthaka kĩa Efironi kĩu kĩarĩ Makipela hakuhĩ na Mamure-gĩthaka na ngurunga ĩyo, na mĩtĩ yothe ĩrĩa yarĩ mĩhaka-inĩ ya gĩthaka kĩu ikĩgarũrĩrwo
18 To Abraham to a possession to [the] eyes of [the] people of Heth for all [those who were] entering [the] gate of city his.
Iburahĩmu mbere ya Ahiti othe arĩa mookĩte kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu inene.
19 And after thus he buried Abraham Sarah wife his into [the] cave of [the] field of Machpelah on [the] face of Mamre that [is] Hebron in [the] land of Canaan.
Thuutha wa ũguo, Iburahĩmu agĩthika Sara mũtumia wake ngurunga-inĩ ĩyo yarĩ gĩthaka-inĩ kĩa Makipela hakuhĩ na Mamure (ĩrĩa ĩrĩ Hebironi), bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani.
20 And it was confirmed the field and the cave which [was] in it to Abraham to a possession of a burial site from with [the] people of Heth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩthaka kĩu na ngurunga ĩyo yarĩ kuo ikĩgarũrĩrwo Iburahĩmu nĩ Ahiti irĩ handũ ha gũthikanaga.
