1 Sarah el moul sun yac siofok longoul itkosr matwal.
When Sarah was an hundreth twentie and seuen yeere olde (so long liued she).
2 El misa Hebron in acn Canaan, ac Abraham el asor yokna kacl.
Then Sarah dyed in Kiriath-arba: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. and Abraham came to mourne for Sarah and to weepe for her.
3 El tuyak liki acn se ma monin mutan kial oan we, ac som nu yurin mwet Hit, ac fahk,
Then Abraham rose vp from the sight of his corps, and talked with the Hittites, saying,
4 “Nga mwetsac se muta inmasrlowos inge. Kukakunma sie ipin acn an nu sik, ngan pikinya mutan kiuk uh we.”
I am a stranger, and a forreiner among you, giue me a possession of buriall with you, that I may burie my dead out of my sight.
5 Elos topuk,
Then the Hittites answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
6 “Mwet kacto, porongekut. Kut oek mu kom mwet kol fulat ac pwengpeng se. Kom ku in pikinya mutan kiom an ke kulyuk se ma wo emeet lasr uh. Kut nukewa arulana engan in asot sie kulyuk an nu sum, tuh kom fah pikinya mutan kiom an kac.”
Heare vs, my lorde: thou art a prince of God among vs: in the chiefest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of vs shall forbid thee his sepulchre, but thou mayest bury thy dead therein.
7 Na Abraham el pasrla ye mutalos
Then Abraham stoode vp, and bowed him selfe before the people of the land of the Hittites.
8 ac fahk, “Kowos fin insese in lela nga in pikinya mutan kiuk uh inge, nunak munas siyuk sel Ephron, wen natul Zohar,
And he communed with them, saying, If it be your minde, that I shall bury my dead out of my sight, heare me, and intreate for me to Ephron the sonne of Zohar,
9 elan kukakunma luf se Machpelah, su oanna ke sisken acn lal. Siyuk elan kukakunma nu sik ke molo na pwaye an ye motowos, ac nga fah molela luk mwe kulyuk.”
That he would giue me ye caue of Machpelah, which he hath in the ende of his field: that he would giue it me for as much money as it is worth, for a possession to bury in among you.
10 In pacl sac, Ephron el wi mwet Hit wial muta ke acn in meeting se ke mutunpot nu in siti uh. Ac el topuk ye mutun mwet nukewa su muta in acn sac,
(For Ephron dwelt among the Hittites) Then Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of all the Hittites that went in at the gates of his citie, saying,
11 “Mwet kacto, porongeyu. Nga fah sot nu sum ipin acn sac nufon wi pac luf se ma oan we ah. Nga ac sot lom ye mutun mwet luk inge, tuh kom fah ku in pikinya mutan kiom an we.”
No, my Lord, heare me: the fielde giue I thee, and the caue, that therein is, I giue it thee: euen in the presence of the sonnes of my people giue I it thee, to bury thy dead.
12 Tusruktu Abraham el pasrla ye mutun mwet Hit uh
Then Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the land,
13 ac fahk nu sel Ephron tuh mwet nukewa in ku in lohng, “Nga siyuk kom in nunak munas lohngwin ma nga ac fahk uh. Nga ac moli ipin acn nufon sac. Sruokya molo uh, tuh nga fah ku in pikinya mutan kiuk uh we.”
And spake vnto Ephron in the audience of the people of the countrey, saying, Seeing thou wilt giue it, I pray thee, heare me, I will giue the price of the fielde: receiue it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Ephron el topuk,
Ephron then answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
15 “Mwet kacto, lupan molin acn uh ipin silver angfoko na — lupa se ingan ma na pilasr siktal. Pikinya na mutan kiom an we.”
My lord, hearken vnto me: ye land is worth foure hundreth shekels of siluer: what is that betweene me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
16 Abraham el insese nu kac, ac srikeya lupa se ma Ephron el fahk ye mutun mwet ah — ipin silver angfoko, fal nu ke srikasrak ma orekmakinyuk sin mwet kuka.
So Abraham hearkened vnto Ephron, and Abraham weyed to Ephron the siluer, which he had named, in the audience of the Hittites, euen foure hundreth siluer shekels of currant money among marchants.
17 Pa oru acn sel Ephron in Machpelah, su oan kutulap in Mamre, tuh lal Abraham lac ah. Ma Ephron el kitaung uh pa acn ah, luf sac, ac sak nukewa fin acn sac, utyak na nwe ke masrol lal ah.
So the fielde of Ephron which was in Machpelah, and ouer against Mamre, euen the field and the caue that was therein, and all the trees that were in the fielde, which were in all the borders round about, was made sure
18 Eteyuk sin mwet Hit nukewa su wi muta in pacl sac lah ma lac lal Abraham pa acn sac.
Vnto Abraham for a possession, in ye sight of the Hittites, euen of all that went in at the gates of his citie.
19 Tukun ma inge, Abraham el piknilya Sarah, mutan kial, in luf se Machpelah in acn Canaan.
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah ouer against Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
20 Ouinge ipin acn se su tuh ma lun mwet Hit ah meet, ac luf se ma oan we, ma lac lal Abraham mwe kulyuk.
Thus the fielde and the caue, that is therein, was made sure vnto Abraham for a possession of buriall by the Hittites.
