< Genesis 23 >

1 Sarah lived a hundred and twenty-seven years. These were the years of the life of Sarah.
HOOKAHI haneri na makahiki me ka iwakaluakumamahiku o Sara: oia na makahiki o ke ola ana o Sara.
2 Sarah died in Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan. Abraham mourned and wept for Sarah.
A make aku la o Sara ma Kiriatareba, oia o Heberona ma ka aina o Kanaana; a hele mai la o Aberahama e uwe a e kanikau ia Sara.
3 Then Abraham rose up and went from his dead wife, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Ka ae la o Aberahama iluna, mai ke alo ae o kana mea i make, olelo aku la ia i na mamo a Heta, i aku la,
4 “I am a foreigner among you. Please grant me a property for a burial place among you, so that I may bury my dead.”
He malihini no wau e noho wale ana me oukou: e haawi mai i ilina iwaena o oukou, i lilo ia no'u, i kanu aku au i kuu mea i make, mai ko'u mau maka aku.
5 The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying,
Olelo mai na mamo a Heta ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia,
6 “Listen to us, my master. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb, so that you may bury your dead.”
E hoolohe mai oe i ka makou, e kuu haku: he alii nui no oe iwaena o makou; ma ka ilina maikai loa o makou, e kanu iho ai oe i kau mea make: aole e aua kekahi o makou i kona ilina ia oe, i ole oe e kanu i kou mea make.
7 Abraham arose and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth.
Ka ae la o Aberahama, a kulou iho la imua o na kanaka o ka aina, o na mamo a Heta.
8 He spoke to them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead, then hear me and plead with Ephron son of Zohar, for me.
Kamailio aku la ia me lakou, i aku la, Ina o ko oukou manao ia, i kanu iho ai au i kuu mea make mai o'u mau maka aku; e hoolohe mai, a e noi aka oukou ia Eperona ke keiki a Zohara no'u;
9 Ask him to sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he owns, which is at the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me publicly as a property for a burial place.”
I haawi mai ai oia i ke ana o Makepela no'u; nona no ia, aia no ma ka palena o kana mahinaai; no na kala e pono ke kuai, e haawi mai no oia ia wahi no'u i ilina iwaena o oukou.
10 Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth, and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth, of all those who had come into the gate of his city, saying,
Noho pa iho la o Eperona me na mamo a Heta: olelo mai la o Eperona ka Heta ia Aberahama, ma ka lohe o na mamo a Heta, a o ka poe a pau i komo ma ka ipuka o ke kulanakauhale, i mai la,
11 “No, my master, hear me. I give you the field, and the cave that is in it. I give it to you in the presence of the sons of my people. I give it to you to bury your dead.”
E kuu haku, e hoolohe mai oe ia'u: ke haawi wale aku nei au i ka mahinaai a me ke ana maloko, nou, ke haawi aku nei au nou ia wahi: imua o na keiki a o'u poe kanaka, ke haawi aku nei au nou ia wahi: e kanu aku oe i kau mea make.
12 Then Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Kulou iho la o Aberahama ilalo, imua o na kanaka o ia aina.
13 He spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “But if you are willing, please hear me. I will pay for the field. Take the money from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
I aku la oia ia Eperona ma ka lohe o na kanaka o ia aina, i ka i ana, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolohe mai oe ia'u, Ina e ae mai oe, e haawi aku no wau i ke kala no ua mahinaai la; e lawe oe i ka'u, a e kanu no wau i kau mea make ilaila.
14 Ephron answered Abraham, saying,
Olelo mai la o Eperona ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia,
15 “Please, my master, listen to me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? Bury your dead.”
E kuu haku, e hoolohe mai ia'u, eha haneri sekela kala ke kumukuai o ia aina; heaha hoi ia iwaena o kaua? e kanu hoi oe i kau mea make.
16 Abraham listened to Ephron and Abraham weighed out to Ephron the amount of silver that he had spoken in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the standard measurement of the merchants.
Ae mai la o Aberahama ia Eperona; a kaupouna iho la o Aberahama no Eperona i ke kala ana i olelo ai ma ka lohe o na mamo a Heta, eha haneri sekela kala, he kala pono i ka poe kuai.
17 So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was next to Mamre, that is, the field, the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field and all around its border, passed
A ua hoolilo paa ia ka mahinaai a Eperona ma Makepela, ma ke alo o Mamere, o ka mahinaai me ke ana maloko, a me na laau a pau o na mahinaai la, a e puni ana ma na palena a pau,
18 to Abraham by purchase in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all those who had come into the gate of his city.
No Aberahama i wahi nona ma ke alo o na mamo a Heta, imua hoi o ka poe a pau i komo ma ka ipuka o kona kulanakauhale.
19 After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which is next to Mamre, that is, Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
Mahope iho, kanu iho la o Aberahama i kana wahine ia Sara iloko o ke ana ma ka mahinaai o Makepela ma ke alo o Mamere: oia o Heberona i ka aina o Kanaana.
20 So the field and the cave in it passed to Abraham as a property for a burial place from the sons of Heth.
Ua hoolilo paa ia ka mahinaai a me ke ana maloko, no Aberahama i ilina nona, e na mamo a Heta.
