3 Abrayami alongwaki liboso ya ebembe ya mwasi na ye mpe asololaki na bato ya Iti.
And Abraham stode vp from the coorse and talked with the sonnes of heth saynge:

6 — Yoka biso, nkolo na ngai; ya solo, ozali moto monene kati na biso. Kunda mwasi na yo kati na kunda oyo eleki kitoko kati na bakunda na biso. Moko te kati na biso akoboya kopesa yo kunda na ye mpo ete okunda mwasi na yo.
heare vs lorde thou art a prynce of God amonge vs. In the chefest of oure sepulchres bury thy dead: None of vs shall forbydd ye his sepulchre yt thou shuldest not bury thy deade therein.
7 Boye, Abrayami atelemaki mpe agumbamaki liboso ya bato ya mboka wana, bato ya Iti.
Abraha stode vp and bowed hi selfe before ye people of ye lade ye childre of heth.
8 Ayebisaki bango: — Soki ezali mokano na bino ete nakunda nzoto ya mwasi na ngai awa, boyoka ngai mpe bosengela ngai epai ya Efroni, mwana mobali ya Tsoari,
And he comoned with them saynge: Yf it be youre myndes yt I shall bury my deade oute of my sighte heare me ad speke for me to Ephron the sonne of Zoar:
9 ete atekela ngai libulu na ye ya mabanga oyo ezali na Makipela, na suka ya elanga na ye. Boyebisa ye ete atekela ngai yango na motuya oyo ekoki na yango mpo ete nakomisa yango mabele ya kokunda bato na ngai.
and let him geue me the dubill caue which he hath in the end of his felde for as moch money as it is worth let him geue it me in the presence of you for a possession to bury in.
10 Nzokande, Efroni, moto ya Iti, oyo azalaki kovanda kati na bato na ye, azongiselaki Abrayami na miso ya bato ya Iti, liboso ya bato nyonso oyo bayaki na ekuke ya engumba na ye:
For Hephron dwelled amoge ye childern of heth. Than Ephron the Hethite answered Abraham in the audyece of the childern of Heth and of all that went in at the gates of his cyte saynge:
11 — Te, nkolo na ngai, yoka ngai! Napesi yo elanga mpe libulu ya mabanga oyo ezali kati na yango. Napesi yo yango liboso ya bato na ngai mpo ete okunda mwasi na yo.
Not so my lorde but heare me: The felde geue I the and the caue that therein is geue I the also And even in the presence of the sonnes of my people geve I it the to bury thy deede in.
12 Abrayami agumbamaki liboso ya bato ya mboka
Than Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the lade
13 mpe azongiselaki Efroni: — Nabondeli yo, yoka ngai! Soki olingi, nakopesa yo motuya oyo ekoki na elanga. Ndima yango mpo ete nakunda mwasi na ngai kuna.
and spake vnto Ephro in the audyence of the people of the contre saynge: I praye the heare me I will geue sylver for the felde take it of me ad so will I bury my deed there.
14 Efroni azongiselaki Abrayami:
Ephron answered Abraha saynge vnto him
15 — Yoka, nkolo na ngai! Mabele ya motuya ya mbongo ya bibende, nkama minei, ezali penza nini kati na ngai mpe yo? Kamata mabele yango mpe kunda mwasi na yo.
My lorde harken vnto me. The lande is worth iiij. hundreth sycles of syluer: But what is that betwixte the and me? bury thy deede.
16 Abrayami andimaki maloba ya Efroni mpe amemelaki ye motuya oyo alobaki na miso ya bato ya Iti: mbongo ya bibende, nkama minei, kolanda ndenge bazalaki kotanga mbongo na tango wana.
And Abraham harkened vnto Ephron and weyde him the sylver which he had sayde in the audyence of the sonnes of Heth. Euen. iiij. hudred syluer sycles of currant money amonge marchauntes
17 Boye elanga ya Efroni oyo ezalaki na Makipela, pembeni ya Mamire, elongo na libulu ya mabanga oyo ezalaki kati na yango, banzete nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na elanga mpe na bandelo ya zingazinga na yango, epesamaki

19 Sima na yango, Abrayami akundaki mwasi na ye Sara na libulu ya mabanga ya elanga ya Makipela, pembeni ya Mamire oyo ezali Ebron, na mokili ya Kanana.
And then Abraham buried Sara his wyfe in the double caue of the felde that lyeth before Mare otherwise called Ebron in the lande of Canaan.
20 Bato ya Iti bapesaki Abrayami elanga yango elongo na libulu ya mabanga oyo ezalaki na kati mpo ete ekoma ya ye mpe akundaka bato na ye kuna.
And so both the felde ad the caue that is therein was made vnto Abraham a sure possession to bury in of the sonnes of Heth.
