Kinohi 23
1 HOOKAHI haneri na makahiki me ka iwakaluakumamahiku o Sara: oia na makahiki o ke ola ana o Sara.
And Sara lived a hundred and twenty-seven years.
2 A make aku la o Sara ma Kiriatareba, oia o Heberona ma ka aina o Kanaana; a hele mai la o Aberahama e uwe a e kanikau ia Sara.
And she died in the city of Arbee which is Hebron, in the land of Chanaan: and Abraham came to mourn and weep for her.
3 Ka ae la o Aberahama iluna, mai ke alo ae o kana mea i make, olelo aku la ia i na mamo a Heta, i aku la,
And after he rose up from the funeral obsequies, he spoke to the children of Heth, saying:
4 He malihini no wau e noho wale ana me oukou: e haawi mai i ilina iwaena o oukou, i lilo ia no'u, i kanu aku au i kuu mea i make, mai ko'u mau maka aku.
I am a stranger and sojourner among you: give me the right of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead.
5 Olelo mai na mamo a Heta ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia,
The children of Heth answered, saying:
6 E hoolohe mai oe i ka makou, e kuu haku: he alii nui no oe iwaena o makou; ma ka ilina maikai loa o makou, e kanu iho ai oe i kau mea make: aole e aua kekahi o makou i kona ilina ia oe, i ole oe e kanu i kou mea make.
My Lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principal sepulchres: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulchre.
7 Ka ae la o Aberahama, a kulou iho la imua o na kanaka o ka aina, o na mamo a Heta.
Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit the children of Heth:
8 Kamailio aku la ia me lakou, i aku la, Ina o ko oukou manao ia, i kanu iho ai au i kuu mea make mai o'u mau maka aku; e hoolohe mai, a e noi aka oukou ia Eperona ke keiki a Zohara no'u;
And said to them: If it please your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede for me to Ephron the son of Seor.
9 I haawi mai ai oia i ke ana o Makepela no'u; nona no ia, aia no ma ka palena o kana mahinaai; no na kala e pono ke kuai, e haawi mai no oia ia wahi no'u i ilina iwaena o oukou.
That he may give me the double cave, which he hath in the end of his field: for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me before you, for a possession of a burying place.
10 Noho pa iho la o Eperona me na mamo a Heta: olelo mai la o Eperona ka Heta ia Aberahama, ma ka lohe o na mamo a Heta, a o ka poe a pau i komo ma ka ipuka o ke kulanakauhale, i mai la,
Now Ephron dwelt in the midst of the children of Heth. And Ephron made answer to Abraham in the hearing of all that went in at the gate of the city, saying:
11 E kuu haku, e hoolohe mai oe ia'u: ke haawi wale aku nei au i ka mahinaai a me ke ana maloko, nou, ke haawi aku nei au nou ia wahi: imua o na keiki a o'u poe kanaka, ke haawi aku nei au nou ia wahi: e kanu aku oe i kau mea make.
Let it not be so, my lord, but do thou rather hearken to what I say: The field I deliver to thee, and the cave that is therein, in the presence of the children of my people, bury thy dead.
12 Kulou iho la o Aberahama ilalo, imua o na kanaka o ia aina.
Abraham bowed down before the people of the land,
13 I aku la oia ia Eperona ma ka lohe o na kanaka o ia aina, i ka i ana, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolohe mai oe ia'u, Ina e ae mai oe, e haawi aku no wau i ke kala no ua mahinaai la; e lawe oe i ka'u, a e kanu no wau i kau mea make ilaila.
And he spoke to Ephron, in the presence of the people: I beseech thee to hear me: I will give money for the field: take it, and so I will bury my dead in it.
14 Olelo mai la o Eperona ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia,
And Ephron answered:
15 E kuu haku, e hoolohe mai ia'u, eha haneri sekela kala ke kumukuai o ia aina; heaha hoi ia iwaena o kaua? e kanu hoi oe i kau mea make.
My lord, hear me. The ground which thou desirest, is worth four hundred sicles of silver: this is the price between me and thee: but what is this? bury thy dead.
16 Ae mai la o Aberahama ia Eperona; a kaupouna iho la o Aberahama no Eperona i ke kala ana i olelo ai ma ka lohe o na mamo a Heta, eha haneri sekela kala, he kala pono i ka poe kuai.
And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had asked, in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred sicles of silver of common current money.
17 A ua hoolilo paa ia ka mahinaai a Eperona ma Makepela, ma ke alo o Mamere, o ka mahinaai me ke ana maloko, a me na laau a pau o na mahinaai la, a e puni ana ma na palena a pau,
And the field that before was Ephron’s, wherein was the double cave, looking towards Mambre, both it and the cave, and all the trees thereof in all its limits round about,
18 No Aberahama i wahi nona ma ke alo o na mamo a Heta, imua hoi o ka poe a pau i komo ma ka ipuka o kona kulanakauhale.
Was made sure to Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth, and of all that went in at the gate of his city.
19 Mahope iho, kanu iho la o Aberahama i kana wahine ia Sara iloko o ke ana ma ka mahinaai o Makepela ma ke alo o Mamere: oia o Heberona i ka aina o Kanaana.
And so Abraham buried Sara his wife, in a double cave of the field, that looked towards Mambre, this is Hebron in the land of Chanaan.
20 Ua hoolilo paa ia ka mahinaai a me ke ana maloko, no Aberahama i ilina nona, e na mamo a Heta.
And the field was made sure to Abraham, and the cave that was in it, for a possession to bury in, by the children of Heth.
