< Kĩambĩrĩria 23 >

1 Sara aatũũrire muoyo agĩkinyia mĩaka igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja.
撒拉享壽一百二十七歲,這是撒拉一生的歲數。
2 Nake aakuĩrĩire Kiriathu-Ariba (na nokuo Hebironi), bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani; nake Iburahĩmu agĩthiĩ, agĩcakaĩra Sara na akĩmũrĩrĩra.
撒拉死在迦南地的基列‧亞巴,就是希伯崙。亞伯拉罕為她哀慟哭號。
3 Ningĩ Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra akiuma hau mwĩrĩ wa mũtumia wake warĩ, agĩthiĩ akĩarĩria Ahiti akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
後來亞伯拉罕從死人面前起來,對赫人說:
4 “Niĩ ndĩ mũgeni na mũgendi gũkũ kwanyu. Nyenderiai handũ gũkũ ha gũthikana nĩgeetha hote gũthika mũtumia wakwa ũrĩa ũkuĩte.”
「我在你們中間是外人,是寄居的。求你們在這裏給我一塊地,我好埋葬我的死人,使她不在我眼前。」
5 Nao Ahiti magĩcookeria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ:
赫人回答亞伯拉罕說:
6 “Mũthuuri ũyũ, ta tũthikĩrĩrie. Wee ũrĩ mũthamaki ũrĩ hinya gatagatĩ-inĩ gaitũ. Thika mũtumia waku mbĩrĩra-inĩ ĩmwe ya iria njega ciitũ. Gũtirĩ mũndũ witũ ũngĩkũgiria mbĩrĩra ya gũthika mũtumia waku.”
「我主請聽。你在我們中間是一位尊大的王子,只管在我們最好的墳地裏埋葬你的死人;我們沒有一人不容你在他的墳地裏埋葬你的死人。」
7 Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya Ahiti, andũ acio ene bũrũri.
亞伯拉罕就起來,向那地的赫人下拜,
8 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩmwĩtĩkĩrĩte thike mũtumia wakwa-rĩ, gĩĩthikĩrĩriei, na mũthaithanĩrĩre kũrĩ Efironi mũrũ wa Zoharu,
對他們說:「你們若有意叫我埋葬我的死人,使她不在我眼前,就請聽我的話,為我求瑣轄的兒子以弗崙,
9 nĩguo anyenderie ngurunga ya Makipela, ĩrĩa yake ĩrĩ mũthia-inĩ wa gĩthaka gĩake. Mũũriei anyenderie na thogora ũrĩa ũmĩigana, ĩtuĩke handũ hakwa ha gũthikana gũkũ kwanyu.”
把田頭上那麥比拉洞給我,他可以按着足價賣給我,作我在你們中間的墳地。」
10 Nake Efironi ũcio Mũhiti aikarĩte thĩ o hau gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ arĩa angĩ; tondũ ũcio agĩcookeria Iburahĩmu akĩiguagwo nĩ Ahiti othe arĩa mookĩte kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu rĩake.
當時以弗崙正坐在赫人中間。於是,赫人以弗崙在城門出入的赫人面前對亞伯拉罕說:
11 Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, mwathi wakwa, thikĩrĩria; nĩndakũhe gĩthaka kĩu, na nĩndakũhe ngurunga ĩyo ĩrĩ thĩinĩ wakĩo. Ndakũhe andũ akwa makĩonaga. Thika mũtumia waku.”
「不然,我主請聽。我送給你這塊田,連田間的洞也送給你,在我同族的人面前都給你,可以埋葬你的死人。」
12 O rĩngĩ Iburahĩmu akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya andũ acio ene bũrũri,
亞伯拉罕就在那地的人民面前下拜,
13 na akĩarĩria Efironi andũ acio makĩiguaga, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra gũũthikĩrĩria. Nĩngũrĩha thogora wa gĩthaka kĩu. Amũkĩra mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, nĩgeetha hote gũthika mũtumia wakwa kuo.”
在他們面前對以弗崙說:「你若應允,請聽我的話。我要把田價給你,求你收下,我就在那裏埋葬我的死人。」
14 Efironi agĩcookeria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ,
以弗崙回答亞伯拉罕說:
15 “Ta thikĩrĩria, mwathi wakwa; gĩthaka kĩu kĩngiuma cekeri magana mana ma betha, no rĩrĩ, kĩu nĩ kĩĩ gatagatĩ gaku na niĩ? Thiĩ ũthike mũtumia waku.”
「我主請聽。值四百舍客勒銀子的一塊田,在你我中間還算甚麼呢?只管埋葬你的死人吧!」
16 Iburahĩmu agĩĩtĩkĩra thogora wa Efironi na akĩmũthimĩra betha iria aagwetete andũ a Ahiti othe makĩiguaga; cekeri magana mana cia betha cia mũigana wa gĩthimo kĩa onjorithia.
亞伯拉罕聽從了以弗崙,照着他在赫人面前所說的話,把買賣通用的銀子平了四百舍客勒給以弗崙。
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gĩthaka kĩa Efironi kĩu kĩarĩ Makipela hakuhĩ na Mamure-gĩthaka na ngurunga ĩyo, na mĩtĩ yothe ĩrĩa yarĩ mĩhaka-inĩ ya gĩthaka kĩu ikĩgarũrĩrwo
於是,麥比拉、幔利前、以弗崙的那塊田和其中的洞,並田間四圍的樹木,
18 Iburahĩmu mbere ya Ahiti othe arĩa mookĩte kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu inene.
都定準歸與亞伯拉罕,乃是他在赫人面前並城門出入的人面前買妥的。
19 Thuutha wa ũguo, Iburahĩmu agĩthika Sara mũtumia wake ngurunga-inĩ ĩyo yarĩ gĩthaka-inĩ kĩa Makipela hakuhĩ na Mamure (ĩrĩa ĩrĩ Hebironi), bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani.
此後,亞伯拉罕把他妻子撒拉埋葬在迦南地幔利前的麥比拉田間的洞裏。(幔利就是希伯崙)。
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩthaka kĩu na ngurunga ĩyo yarĩ kuo ikĩgarũrĩrwo Iburahĩmu nĩ Ahiti irĩ handũ ha gũthikanaga.
從此,那塊田和田間的洞就藉着赫人定準歸與亞伯拉罕作墳地。
