Genesis 23
1 Sarah el moul sun yac siofok longoul itkosr matwal.
And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
2 El misa Hebron in acn Canaan, ac Abraham el asor yokna kacl.
And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 El tuyak liki acn se ma monin mutan kial oan we, ac som nu yurin mwet Hit, ac fahk,
And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke unto the sons of Heth, 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 sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
5 Elos topuk,
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto 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.”
Hear us, my lord: you are a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchers bury your dead; none of us shall withhold from you his tomb, but that you may bury your dead.
7 Na Abraham el pasrla ye mutalos
And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
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 mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and implore for me to Ephron the son 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 may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace 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,
And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, 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.”
Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I you, and the cave that is therein, I give it you; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it you: bury your dead.
12 Tusruktu Abraham el pasrla ye mutun mwet Hit uh
And Abraham bowed down himself 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 he spoke unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if you will give it, I pray you, hear me: I will give you money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Ephron el topuk,
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto 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 unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that between me and you? bury therefore your 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.
And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
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.
And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
18 Eteyuk sin mwet Hit nukewa su wi muta in pacl sac lah ma lac lal Abraham pa acn sac.
Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
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 cave of the field of Machpelah before 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.
And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
