Genesis 23
1 And Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years old: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
Sarah loe saning cumvai, pumphae sarihto hing;
2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan: And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Sarah loe Kanaan prae Kirjath Arba (Hebron tiah doeh thuih) ah duek; Abraham loe Sarah pongah palungset moe qah.
3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
To pacoengah Abraham loe kadueh a zu qok khae hoi angthawk moe, Hit caanawk khaeah lok a thuih, nihcae khaeah,
4 I [am] a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
Kai loe nangcae salakah angvin ah ni ka oh; kadueh ka zu qok aphum hanah long ahmuen na qan o sak thoem ah, tiah a naa.
5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Hit kaminawk mah Abraham khaeah,
6 Hear us, my lord; thou [art] a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchers bury thy dead: none of us will withhold from thee his sepulcher, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
ka angraeng, Kaicae ih lok hae tahngai ah; nang loe kaicae salakah thacak angraeng capa ah na oh; na koeh ih ahmuen to qoi ah loe, qok to kaicae ih taprong salakah aphum ah; kadueh qok aphum hanah mi mah doeh taprong to paawt mak ai, tiah a naa o.
7 And Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
To pacoengah Abraham loe angthawk moe, to prae thungah kaom Hit kaminawk hma ah akuep pae.
8 And he communed with them, saying, If it is your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
Nihcae khaeah, Kadueh ka zu ih qok to ka mikhnuk ah aphum sak han nang koeh o haih nahaeloe, ka lok hae tahngai oh; Zohar capa Ephron mah,
9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which [is] in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me, for a possession of a burying-place among you.
angmah ih lawk taengah kaom, Makpelah thlung khaw to, atho kating ah kai khaeah zawh hanah na hni pae oh, tiah a naa.
10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, of all that entered the gates of his city, saying,
To nathuem ah Ephron loe Hit kaminawk salakah anghnut; Hit kami Ephron loe vangpui khongkha thungah akun, Hit kami rangpui hmaa ah Abraham ih lok to pathim pae; anih mah,
11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I to thee, and the cave that [is] in it, I give it to thee; in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to thee: bury thy dead.
ka angraeng, to tih na ai ni, ka lok hae tahngai ah; lawk to kang paek moe, lawk thungah kaom thlung khaw doeh kang paek; kaimah ih kaminawk hma ah nang han kang paek boeh, kadueh na zu ih qok to aphum lai ah, tiah a naa.
12 And Abraham bowed himself before the people of the land.
Abraham mah to kaminawk hma ah akuep let moe,
13 And he spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field: take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead there.
prae kaminawk mikhnuk ah Ephron khaeah, Na koeh nahaeloe, ka lok hae tahngai ah; lawk qanhaih atho to kang paek han; to ah qok ka phum thai hanah, atho hae na talawk paeh, tiah a naa.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Ephron mah Abraham khaeah,
15 My lord, hearken to me: the land [is worth] four hundred shekels of silver; what [is] that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
ka angraeng, tahngai ah, to long loe phoisa shekel cumvai palito a ting; toe nang hoi kai salakah timaw angaih? Kadueh na zu ih qok to mah aphum laih, tiah a naa.
16 And Abraham hearkened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the merchant.
Ephron ih lok to Abraham mah tapom moe, Hit kaminawk ih mikhnuk ah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, hmuen zaw kaminawk mah patoh ih tahhaih pongah, Ephron hanah phoisa cumvai palito a noek pae.
17 And the field of Ephron, which [was] in Machpelah, which [was] before Mamre, the field and the cave which [was] in it, and all the trees that [were] in the field, that [were] in all the borders round about, were made sure
To pongah Mamre hma ah kaom, Makpelah ahmuen, Ephron lawk thung ih thlung khaw hoi thingkungnawk boih, a taengah kaom thingkungnawk boih to,
18 To Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that entered the gate of his city.
vangpui khongkha thung akun Hit kaminawk boih mikhnuk ah Abraham ih hmuen ah oh.
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre: the same [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan.
To pacoengah Abraham mah a zu sarah to Kanaan prae Mamre (Hebron) taengah kaom Makpelah lawk thung ih thlung khaw thungah aphum.
20 And the field, and the cave that [is] in it were made sure to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place, by the sons of Heth.
To pongah lawk hoi a thungah kaom thlung khaw to, Abraham ih taprong ah oh thai hanah, Hit kaminawk mah raihaih om ai ah paek o.
