Kinohi 23
1 HOOKAHI haneri na makahiki me ka iwakaluakumamahiku o Sara: oia na makahiki o ke ola ana o Sara.
Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah's life.
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.
Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to 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,
Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons 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 a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may remove my dead for burial."
5 Olelo mai na mamo a Heta ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia,
The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
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.
"Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb to prevent you from burying your dead."
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 himself to the people of the land, to the sons 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;
He talked with them, saying, "If you agree that I may remove my dead for burial, hear me, and approach Ephron the son of Zohar for me,
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 cave of Machpelah, which he owns; it is at the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as a burial 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 was sitting among the sons of Heth. Ephron the Hethite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his 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.
"No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead."
12 Kulou iho la o Aberahama ilalo, imua o na kanaka o ia aina.
Abraham bowed himself 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.
He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, "But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there."
14 Olelo mai la o Eperona ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia,
Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
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, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your 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.
Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants' standard.
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,
So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded
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.
to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who 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.
After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
20 Ua hoolilo paa ia ka mahinaai a me ke ana maloko, no Aberahama i ilina nona, e na mamo a Heta.
The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham as a possession for a burial place by the sons of Heth.
