Genesis 23
1 Forsothe Sare lyuede an hundrid and seuene and twenti yeer,
Sara dii mfe ɔha aduonu ason.
2 and diede in the citee of Arbee, which is Ebron, in the lond of Chanaan; and Abraham cam to biweyle and biwepe hir.
Owui wɔ Kiriat-Arba a ɛno ara ne Hebron a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so. Abraham kogyam ne yere Sara, suu no wɔ hɔ.
3 And whanne he hadde rise fro the office of the deed bodi, he spak to the sones of Heth, and seide,
Abraham gyaw ne yere Sara amu no wɔ hɔ, kɔɔ Hetifo mpanyimfo nkyɛn, kɔsrɛɛ wɔn se,
4 Y am a comelyng and a pilgrym anentis you; yyue ye to me riyt of sepulcre with you, that Y birie my deed body.
“Meyɛ ɔhɔho ne mamfrani a mete mo mu. Mesrɛ mo, montɔn mo asase yi bi mma me, na minsie me yere wɔ so.”
5 And the sones of Heth answeriden, and seiden, Lord, here thou vs;
Hetifo no buaa Abraham se,
6 thou art the prince of God anentis vs; birie thou thi deed bodi in oure chosun sepulcris, and no man schal mow forbede thee, that ne thou birie thi deed bodi in the sepulcre of him.
“Owura, yɛsrɛ wo, tie asɛm a yɛrebɛka yi. Woyɛ Onyankopɔn somfo kɛse wɔ yɛn mu. Yɛn boda biara a ɛsɔ wʼani a wopɛ sɛ wusie wo yere wɔ hɔ no, yɛma wo ho kwan, kosie no. Yɛn mu biara remfa ne boda nkame wo.”
7 And Abraham roos, and worschipide the puple of the lond, that is, the sones of Heth.
Ɛhɔ ara na Abraham sɔre bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ Hetifo no anim,
8 And he seide to hem, If it plesith youre soule that Y birie my deed bodi, here ye me, and preie ye for me to Efron, the sone of Seor,
ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ moapene so sɛ minsie mʼamu no wɔ ha de a, mepa mo kyɛw, monsrɛ Efron a ɔyɛ Sohar babarima no mma me,
9 that he yyue to me the double caue, whiche he hath in the vttirmoste part of his feeld; for sufficiaunt money yyue he it to me bifore you into possessioun of sepulcre.
na ɔntɔn Makpela ɔboda a ɛwɔ nʼafuw ano no mma me. Monka nkyerɛ no na ɔntɔn no sɛnea ne bo di pɛpɛɛpɛ mma me, na mede hɔ ayɛ me ne mʼabusuafo amusiei.”
10 Forsothe Efron dwellide in the myddis of the sones of Heth. And Efron answerde to Abraham, while alle men herden that entriden bi the yate of that citee,
Saa bere no na Hetini Efron a ɔte ne manfo mu no buaa Abraham, maa ne nkurɔfo a wɔahyia wɔ kurow no pon ano nyinaa tee sɛ,
11 and seide, My lord, it schal not be doon so, but more herkne thou that that Y seie; Y yyue to thee the feeld, and the denne which is therine, while the sones of my puple ben present; birie thou thi deed bodi.
“Dabi, me wura, tie me! Mede afuw no ne ɔboda a ɛwɔ mu no kyɛ wo. Migyina me manfo anim, na mede kyɛ wo. Kosie wʼamu no wɔ hɔ.”
12 Abraham worschipide bifor the Lord, and bifor the puple of the lond,
Bio Abraham de obu ne nidi bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ ɔmanfo no anim,
13 and he spak to Efron, while his puple stood aboute, Y biseche, that thou here me; Y schal yyue money for the feeld, resseyue thou it, and so Y schal birie my deed bodi in the feeld.
ka kyerɛɛ Efron maa wɔn a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa tee asɛm a ɔkae no se, “Mesrɛ mo, ɔmanfo, monyɛ aso mma me. Momma mintua asase no ka. Mompene so mma me, na minnya kwan nkosie mʼamu no.”
14 And Efron answerde, My lord,
Efron buaa Abraham se,
15 here thou me, the lond which thou axist is worth foure hundrid siclis of siluer, that is the prijs bitwixe me and thee, but hou myche is this? birie thou thi deed bodi.
“Me wura, tie me! Asase no bo yɛ dwetɛ kilogram anan ne fa. Yɛnyɛ nnipa baako ana? Meregye saa sika yi ayɛ dɛn? Kosie wʼamu no!”
16 And whanne Abraham hadde herd this, he noumbride the monei which Efron axide, while the sones of Heth herden, foure hundrid siclis of siluer, and of preuyd comyn monei.
Abraham penee Efron asɛm no so. Ɔkarii dwetɛ kilogram anan ne fa a ɛyɛ asase no bo a ɔbɔ maa Hetifo no tee no de tuaa ka.
17 And the feeld that was sumtyme of Efron, in which feeld was a double denne, biholdinge to Mambre, as wel thilke feeld as the denne and alle the trees therof, in alle termes therof bi cumpas, was confermed to Abraham in to possessioun,
Enti wɔde Efron asase a ɛwɔ Makpela a ɛbɛn Mamrɛ, a ɛyɛ afuw no, ɔboda a ɛwɔ mu no, nnua a ɛwɔ afuw no mu ne nʼahye so nyinaa maa
18 while the sones of Heth seiyen and alle men that entriden bi the yate of that citee.
Abraham sɛ nʼagyapade. Eyi nyinaa sii wɔ Hetifo no ne wɔn a wɔbaa kurow no pon no ano nyinaa anim.
19 And so Abraham biriede Sare, his wijf, in the double denne of the feeld, that bihelde to Mambre; this is Ebron in the lond of Chanaan.
Akyiri no, Abraham siee ne yere Sara wɔ ɔboda a ɛwɔ Makpela afuw a ɛbɛn Mamrɛ a ɛno ara ne Hebron a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no mu.
20 And the feeld, and the denne that was therynne, was confermyd of the sones of Heth to Abraham, in to possessioun of sepulcre.
Enti Hetifo no yɛɛ nhyehyɛe de afuw no ne ɔboda a ɛwɔ mu no maa Abraham sɛ nʼagyapade ne nʼamusiei.
