Jenesis 23
1 Sera'a 127ni'a zagegafu maniteno,
Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
2 Kiriat-arba kumate fri'ne. Menina ana kumara Kenani mopafi me'neankino, Hebronie hu'za nehaze. Hanki Abrahamu'a tusi'za huno Serankura asunku nehuno zavi ate'ne.
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 Sera fri kerfare'ma Abrahamu'a mani'nereti netreno otino Hiti mofavre'zaga amanage huno ome zamantahige'ne.
Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
4 Tamagra antahi'naze, nagra mopa agafa nera omani'noanki, amne tamagri mopafi emani'noe. Hagi a'nimo'a fri'nege'na mopa miza hu'na anampi ome asenteku tamantahinegoe.
“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 Hige'za Hiti mofavre naga'moza amanage hu'za Abrahamuna asami'naze.
The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6 Kama antahio ra ne'moka, kagra ra kva ne' tagranena mani'nane. Knare'ma huno kavesinia matipi asenteku'ma hananketa, amne kamigahune. Hagi aza'o ana matimofo nafa'a mani'nenimo'a i'o osugahie. Amne kamina ana matimatipina ome asentegahane.
“Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God amongst us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
7 Abrahamu'a Hiti mofavre'mokizmi zamufi otino, Maka vahe zamufi kepri huno anage hu'ne.
Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
8 Hanki antahiho! A' ka'ama asentesane hanuta, nagri nagi erita vuta Zohari nemofo, Efroni'ene ome keaga hiho.
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 Ome antahigenkeno Makpela mopa naminke'na, ana mopa agentega havegampi Serana ome asentaneno. Ana mopamo'a nagri'za segahie. Hanki hu izoma hanige'na hakaremota tamufi ana mopa mizahu fatgo hugahue.
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 amongst you as a possession for a burial place.”
10 Hankino Efroni'a ana Hiti mofavre'mokizmi amunompi mani'ne. Efroni'a Hiti ne'kino rankuma'mofo kafante emani'naza vahe'mokizmi zamagesafi, ke nona'a huno Abrahamuna asami'ne,
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 Efroni'a amanage hu'ne, ra ne'moka kama antahio, havegana miza osegahane. E'i ana mopane haveganena maka'a naga'nimokizmi zamufi huvempa hu'na meni ana mopa kamigahue. Kamisnugenka anampi fri kerfa'a ome asente'gahane.
“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 Anage higeno Abrahamu'a antahima ami'za kazigati maka vahe zamufi kepri hu'ne.
Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 Abrahamu'a ana vahe zamufi amanage huno Efronina asami'ne. Efroniga muse (plis) hugantoanki kama antahio, nagra menina ana mopa miza hugahue. Hanki zagoma kamisnuana, erige'na ana mopafi a'nimofo fri kerfa ome asenta'neno.
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 Efroni'a ana naneke nentahino, amanage huno Abrahamuna kenona'a asami'ne.
Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 Kama antahio, ra vahe'moka, ama mopamofo mizama'a 400'a silva me'neanagi amu'nonti'afina osi'zane. Amne fri kerfa'a ome asentegahane.
“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 E'inage nehigeno Abrahamu'a mago rimpa nehuno, mago'a zago'a refko huno Efroni eme ami'ne. Efroni'a agra'a kehia avamente 400 ti'a silva zago hakare vahe zamufi eme ami'ne.
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 Efroni mopa Makpela Mamre kazigama avugosama hunte'nea mopa erigeno, ana mopafima me'nea havegane, zafane, mopane, hakarezanena ami vagare'ne.
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 Hanki hakare'zana Abrahamu'ma eri nafa'a hanigu Hiti ne'mofavre naga'mo'za ran kuma'mofo kahante ke refko nehaza vahe'zmufi ami vagare'naze.
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 E'ina huteno Abrahamu'a Serana Makpela havegampi, Mamre kaziga avugosa hunte'nea havegampi ome asente'ne. Ana kuma agi'a Hebron hu'za nehaza kumakino, Kenani mopafi me'ne.
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 Mopane, havegane anampima me'nea zanena, Abrahamu naga'ma asezmante mope hu'za Hiti mofavre naga'mo'za ami vagare'naze.
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.
