< Genesis 23 >

1 Nagbiag ni Sarah iti sangagasut duapulo ket pito a tawen. Daytoy ti dagup ti tawen ti panagbiag ni Sarah.
Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
2 Natay ni Sarah idiay Kiriat Arba, dayta ket, Hebron, iti daga ti Canaan. Nagladingit ken dinung-awan ni Abraham ni Sarah.
Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 Kalpasanna, timmakder ni Abraham ket pimmanaw manipud iti ayan ti natay nga asawana, ket nakisao kadagiti lallaki nga annak ni Het, a kinunana,
Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
4 ''Maysaak a ganggannaet a makipagnanaed kadakayo. Pangngaasiyo ta patgandak a manggatang iti maysa a daga a pagitaneman, tapno maitabonko ti minatayko.''
“I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
5 Simmungbat dagiti lallaki nga annak ni Het kenni Abraham, a kunada,
The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6 ''Denggennakami, apo. Sika ket prinsipe ti Dios kadakami, itabonmo ti minataymo kadagiti kasasayaatan a pagitantanemanmi. Awan kadakami ti agkedkedto kenka iti tanemna, tapno maitabonmo ti minataymo.''
“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. Bury your dead.”
7 Timmakder ni Abraham ket nagparintumeng iti sangoanan dagiti tattao iti dayta a daga, kadagiti lallaki nga annak ni Het.
Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
8 Kinasaona ida, a kunana, “No umanamongkayo a rumbeng nga itabonko ti minatayko, denggendak ngarud ket makipakpakaasiyo kenni Efron nga annak ni Zohar, para kaniak.
He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
9 Dawatenyo kenkuana nga ilakona kaniak ti rukib ti Macpela, a kukuana, nga adda iti pungto ti taltalonna. Ilakona kaniak iti maitutop a bayadna iti imatang ti kaaduan kas maysa a sanikua a mausar a pagitaneman.''
that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me among you as a possession for a burial place.”
10 Ita, ni Efron ket agtugtugaw a kadua dagiti lallaki nga annak ni Het, ket simmungbat ni Efron a Heteo kenni Abraham iti panagdengngeg dagiti lallaki nga annak ni Het, kadagiti amin a napan iti ruangan iti siudadna, a kunana,
Now Ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
11 “Saan, apok, denggennak. Itedko kenka ti taltalon, ken ti rukib nga adda iti daytoy. Itedko kenka iti imatang dagiti annak dagiti tattaok. Itedko kenka tapno itabonmo ti minataymo.''
“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 children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
12 Ket nagkurno ni Abraham iti sangoanan dagiti tattao iti dayta a daga.
Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 Kinasaona ni Efron a mangmangngeg dagiti tattao iti dayta a daga, a kunana, “Ngem no sipapaluboska, pangngaasim ta denggennak. Bayadak ti taltalon. Alaem ti kuarta manipud kaniak, ket itabonko ti minatayko sadiay.”
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 Sinungbatan ni Efron ni Abraham, a kinunana,
Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 “Pangngaasim, apok, denggennak. Ti paset ti daga ket aggatad iti uppat a gasut a bagi ti pirak, ania ngay dayta kadata? Itabonmo ti minataymo.”
“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 Dimngeg ni Abraham kenni Efron ket nangtimbang ni Abraham iti gatad nga uppat a gasut a pirak segun iti imbaga ni Efron kabayatan a dedenggen dagiti lallaki nga annak ni Het, uppat a gasut a bagi ti pirak, a maiyannurot iti timbang nga us-usaren dagiti agtagtagilako.
Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.
17 Isu a ti taltalon ni Efron, nga adda idiay Macpela a kabangibang ti Mamre, ti taltalon ken ti rukib nga adda iti daytoy, ken amin a kaykayo nga adda iti taltalon ken ti amin nga adda iti aglawlaw ti beddengna, ket naited
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 kenni Abraham babaen iti pananggatangna iti daytoy iti imatang dagiti lallaki nga annak ni Het, ken iti sangoanan dagiti napan idiay ruangan ti siudadna.
to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
19 Kalpasan daytoy, intabon ni Abraham ni Sarah nga asawana iti rukib nga adda iti taltalon ti Macpela, a kabangibang ti Mamre, nga isu ti Hebron, iti daga ti Canaan.
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 Isu a ti taltalon ken ti rukib nga adda sadiay ket naipaima kenni Abraham kas maysa a sanikua a pagitaneman manipud kadagiti lallaki nga annak ni Het.
The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham by the children of Heth as a possession for a burial place.
