Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah is a hundred and twenty and seven years — years of the life of Sarah;
Sarah teh kum 127 touh a hring. Sarah e a hringnae kum teh ama het doeh toe.
2 and Sarah dieth in Kirjath-Arba, which [is] Hebron, in the land of Caanan, and Abraham goeth in to mourn for Sarah, and to bewail her.
Sarah teh Kanaan ram Hebron tie Kiriatharba kho dawk a due. Abraham hai Sarah kecu dawk khuika hanelah a tho.
3 And Abraham riseth up from the presence of his dead, and speaketh unto the sons of Heth, saying,
Hahoi Abraham teh a yu e ro hmalah a kangdue teh Hit taminaw koe,
4 'A sojourner and a settler I [am] with you; give to me a possession of a burying-place with you, and I bury my dead from before me.'
Kai teh nangmouh koe imyin hoi kahlong tami lah doeh ka o. Ka yu e ro ka pakawp nahanelah nangmouh koe e talai lem na poe awh haw atipouh.
5 And the sons of Heth answer Abraham, saying to him,
Hit taminaw ni Abraham koe a dei pouh e teh,
6 'Hear us, my lord; a prince of God [art] thou in our midst; in the choice of our burying-places bury thy dead: none of us his burying-place doth withhold from thee, from burying thy dead.'
Ka bawipa kaimae lawk thai haw, nang teh kaimouh rahak vah Cathut e khobawi doeh. Hatdawkvah na ngai e hmuen rawi nateh pakawp ngoun. Na tami ro pakawp nahanelah apinihai phuen hmuen pasoung hoeh laipalah awm mahoeh, telah atipouh awh.
7 And Abraham riseth and boweth himself to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
Hathnukkhu, Abraham teh a thaw teh, Hit taminaw hoi hote ram dawk e taminaw hmalah a tabo.
8 and he speaketh with them, saying, 'If it is your desire to bury my dead from before me, hear me, and meet for me with Ephron, son of Zoar;
Hahoi, ahnimouh koe, ka tami ro pakawp nahanelah, na lungkuep awh pawiteh ka lawk thai awh haw.
9 and he giveth to me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which [is] in the extremity of his field; for full money doth he give it to me, in your midst, for a possession of a burying-place.'
Nangmouh koe, phuen hmuen ka tawn thai nahanelah, Zohar capa Ephron ni, amae law apout koe lah kaawm e Makpelah talungkhu hah, aphu hoi kâki lah kai koe a yo thai nahane, ahni koe na het pouh haw loe, telah atipouh.
10 And Ephron is sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth, and Ephron the Hittite answereth Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, of all those entering the gate of his city, saying,
Hat torei teh Hit taminaw koe Ephron teh a tahung. Hit tami Ephron ni khopui longkha dawk hoi ka kâen e Hit taminaw pueng ni a thainae koe,
11 'Nay, my lord, hear me: the field I have given to thee, and the cave that [is] in it, to thee I have given it; before the eyes of the sons of my people I have given it to thee — bury thy dead.'
Telah nahoeh, ka bawipa law na poe awh, law thung kaawm e talungkhu hai na poe awh. Ka miphunnaw hmaitung roeroe na poe awh, na tami ro teh pakawp leih telah Abraham koe atipouh.
12 And Abraham boweth himself before the people of the land,
Abraham teh, hote ram dawk e taminaw hmalah a tabo teh,
13 and speaketh unto Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, 'Only — if thou wouldest hear me — I have given the money of the field — accept from me, and I bury my dead there.'
Ram dawk e taminaw ni a thainae koe Ephron hanelah na lungkuep pawiteh thai haw, law hmuen phu teh na poe han. Aphu dâw leih, hote hmuen koe ka tami ro teh ka pakawp han atipouh.
14 And Ephron answereth Abraham, saying to him,
Ephron ni Abraham koe,
15 'My lord, hear me: the land — four hundred shekels of silver; between me and thee, what [is] it? — thy dead bury.'
Ka bawipa, ka lawk thai haw, ka law hmuen phu tangka (shekel) cumpali touh doeh. Nang hoi kai hanlah banghai bang nahoeh. Na tami ro teh pakawp yaw kaw telah atipouh.
16 And Abraham hearkeneth unto Ephron, and Abraham weigheth to Ephron the silver which he hath spoken of in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred silver shekels, passing with the merchant.
Abraham ni a lungkuepkhai teh, Hit taminaw ni a thainae koe tangka shekel cumpali touh hno kayawtnaw ni a khing e patetlah a khing teh a poe.
17 And established are the field of Ephron, which [is] in Machpelah, which [is] before Mamre, the field and the cave which [is] in it, and all the trees which [are] in the field, which [are] in all its border round about,
Hatdawkvah Mamre kho hoi kanîtholah, Makpelah hmuen koe kaawm e Ephron e law, law thung kaawm e talungkhu hoi thingkungnaw, lawri koe kaawm e thingkung pueng,
18 to Abraham by purchase, before the eyes of the sons of Heth, among all entering the gate of his city.
Hit taminaw hoi khopui longkha koe ka tho e tami pueng e hmaitung vah Abraham ni coe hanelah a poe.
19 And after this hath Abraham buried Sarah his wife at the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (which [is] Hebron), in the land of Canaan;
Hathnukkhu, Abraham ni Mamre kho, Hebron hoi kanîtholah, Makpelah law dawk e talungkhu dawk a yu Sarah teh a pakawp.
20 and established are the field, and the cave which [is] in it, to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place, from the sons of Heth.
Hatdawkvah lawhmuen hoi talungkhu teh, Abraham ni phuen hmuen lah, a tawn hanelah, Hit taminaw ni a poe.
