2 Nake aakuĩrĩire Kiriathu-Ariba (na nokuo Hebironi), bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani; nake Iburahĩmu agĩthiĩ, agĩcakaĩra Sara na akĩmũrĩrĩra.
and than dyed in a heade cyte called Hebron in the londe of Canaan. Than Abraham came to morne Sara and to wepe for her.
3 Ningĩ Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra akiuma hau mwĩrĩ wa mũtumia wake warĩ, agĩthiĩ akĩarĩria Ahiti akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
And Abraham stode vp from the coorse and talked with the sonnes of heth saynge:
4 “Niĩ ndĩ mũgeni na mũgendi gũkũ kwanyu. Nyenderiai handũ gũkũ ha gũthikana nĩgeetha hote gũthika mũtumia wakwa ũrĩa ũkuĩte.”
I am a straunger ad a foryner amonge yow geue me a possession to bury in with you that I may bury my dead oute of my sighte.
5 Nao Ahiti magĩcookeria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ:
And the children of heth answered Abraham saynge vnto him:
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.”
heare vs lorde thou art a prynce of God amonge vs. In the chefest of oure sepulchres bury thy dead: None of vs shall forbydd ye his sepulchre yt thou shuldest not bury thy deade therein.
7 Iburahĩmu agĩũkĩra akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya Ahiti, andũ acio ene bũrũri.
Abraha stode vp and bowed hi selfe before ye people of ye lade ye childre of heth.
8 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩmwĩtĩkĩrĩte thike mũtumia wakwa-rĩ, gĩĩthikĩrĩriei, na mũthaithanĩrĩre kũrĩ Efironi mũrũ wa Zoharu,
And he comoned with them saynge: Yf it be youre myndes yt I shall bury my deade oute of my sighte heare me ad speke for me to Ephron the sonne of Zoar:
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.”
and let him geue me the dubill caue which he hath in the end of his felde for as moch money as it is worth let him geue it me in the presence of you for a possession to bury in.
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.
For Hephron dwelled amoge ye childern of heth. Than Ephron the Hethite answered Abraham in the audyece of the childern of Heth and of all that went in at the gates of his cyte saynge:
11 Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, mwathi wakwa, thikĩrĩria; nĩndakũhe gĩthaka kĩu, na nĩndakũhe ngurunga ĩyo ĩrĩ thĩinĩ wakĩo. Ndakũhe andũ akwa makĩonaga. Thika mũtumia waku.”
Not so my lorde but heare me: The felde geue I the and the caue that therein is geue I the also And even in the presence of the sonnes of my people geve I it the to bury thy deede in.
12 O rĩngĩ Iburahĩmu akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya andũ acio ene bũrũri,
Than Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the lade
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.”
and spake vnto Ephro in the audyence of the people of the contre saynge: I praye the heare me I will geue sylver for the felde take it of me ad so will I bury my deed there.
14 Efironi agĩcookeria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ,
Ephron answered Abraha saynge vnto him
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.”
My lorde harken vnto me. The lande is worth iiij. hundreth sycles of syluer: But what is that betwixte the and me? bury thy deede.
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.
And Abraham harkened vnto Ephron and weyde him the sylver which he had sayde in the audyence of the sonnes of Heth. Euen. iiij. hudred syluer sycles of currant money amonge marchauntes
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
Thus was the felde of Ephron where in the dubbill caue is before Mamre: euen the felde and the caue that is therein and all the trees of the felde which growe in all the borders rounde aboute made sure
18 Iburahĩmu mbere ya Ahiti othe arĩa mookĩte kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu inene.
vnto Abraham for a possession in the syghte of the childern of Heth and of all that went in at the gates of the cyte.
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.
And then Abraham buried Sara his wyfe in the double caue of the felde that lyeth before Mare otherwise called Ebron in the lande of Canaan.
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩthaka kĩu na ngurunga ĩyo yarĩ kuo ikĩgarũrĩrwo Iburahĩmu nĩ Ahiti irĩ handũ ha gũthikanaga.
And so both the felde ad the caue that is therein was made vnto Abraham a sure possession to bury in of the sonnes of Heth.
