Genesis 23
1 And Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years old: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
Sara too natun esa rua nulu hitu ma, ana mate. Leleꞌ ana mate, Abraham se leo sia kambo Kiryat-Arba (naeni Hebron), sia rae Kanaꞌan. Abraham nggae ei-ei ma beꞌe sao na mamate na.
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.
3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Basa ma, ana neu nandaa no atahori Het ra, de olaꞌ nae,
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.
“Au ia numban sia hei taladꞌa mara. Au nda ma raeꞌ fo uꞌoi sao ngga sa. Mete ma hei nau, naa fee au hasa hei rae ma mbei, fo au uꞌoi e sia naa.”
5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Ara rataa rae,
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.
“Taꞌo ia amaꞌ! Mia doo na nema, hai tao amaꞌ onaꞌ atahori lasiꞌ esa fo hai fee hadat. Dadꞌi amaꞌ hii neuꞌ ena, rae bee malole lenaꞌ, nandaa no amaꞌ hihii na. Hai simbo no maloleꞌ, esa o nda ai saꞌ boe.”
7 And Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
Boe ma Abraham o beꞌutee fee hadat neu tenu raeꞌ ra, atahori Het ra.
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,
Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Mete ma hei simbo oꞌola ngga faꞌ ra, naa, au oꞌe tulun hei olaꞌ mo toulasi Sohar ana mone na, Efron.
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.
Moꞌe, mete ma ana nau seo luat na, naran Makpela, neu au, naa, hasa ala e. Luat naa, sia osi na suu na. Ana noꞌe feli na sudꞌiꞌ a baꞌu saa o, au bae. Au nau bae etu feli na sia basa hei mata mara, fo rae naa dadꞌi au ena ngga. Au ae tao rae naa, dadꞌi hai mamana rates ma.”
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,
Leleꞌ naa, Efron o endoꞌ no atahori Het ra boe, de ana rena Abraham oꞌola na. Ana nambariiꞌ de nataa Abraham sia basa atahori lasiꞌ ra mata nara nae,
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.
“Afiꞌ taꞌo naa, amaꞌ. Te taꞌo ia. Au fee osi naa no luat Makpela neu amaꞌ. Amaꞌ muu muꞌoi sao ma sia naa. Au fee rae naa neu amaꞌ sia atahori nggara mata nara. Naa fo, basa se sakasii!”
12 And Abraham bowed himself before the people of the land.
Boe ma Abraham beꞌutee seluꞌ sia atahori Het ra mata nara.
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.
Ana olaꞌ no Efron nae, “Naa o malole boe, te rena au dei. Au ae hasa etu rae naa, fo uꞌoi atahori nggara sia naa.”
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Efron nataa nae, “Rae naa feli na akaꞌ a doi fulaꞌ natun haa. Soa saa ruꞌa nggita taloe neu-nema akaꞌ doiꞌ mbei anaꞌ naa? Amaꞌ muꞌoi sao ma sia naa leo.”
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.
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.
Abraham naꞌaheiꞌ rae a feli na, tungga Efron oꞌola na. Dadꞌi ana reken doi fulaꞌ natun haa, de bae neu Efron mia basa atahori Het ra mata na, fo ara dadꞌi sakasii.
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
No taꞌo naa, Abraham hambu Efron rae na, dadꞌi eni ena na. Rae naa sia Makpela, deka no Mamre (naeni Hebron). Ana hasa etu rae naa no osi ma luat na, ma basa hau huuꞌ ra. Basa lasi-lasiꞌ atahori Het ra dadꞌi sakasii rae no isi na, Abraham ena na. Basa naa de, Abraham neu naꞌoi sao na sia luat naa, sia rae Kanaꞌan.
18 To Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that entered the gate of his city.
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.
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.
No taꞌo naa, osi no luat naa fo feꞌesaꞌan na, atahori Het ra rae na, ia naa, dadꞌi Abraham ena na. De ana tao dadꞌi mamana rates.
