Genesisy 23
1 Zato tsi-roapolo fito’amby taoñe ty haantera’ i Sarà, ty taon-kavelo’ i Sarà,
And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years. These were the years of the life of Sarah.
2 ie nivilasy e Kiriàte-arbà (toe i Kebròne) an-tane’ Kanàne ao; le nimbeo t’i Avrahame handala i Sarà vaho hirovetse aze.
And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 Niongak’ amy vilasi’ey t’i Avrahame vaho nisaontsy amo nte-Kheteo, ami’ty hoe,
And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
4 Renetane naho mpañialo ama’ areo iraho; anoloro hanañañe ama’ areo handentehako i vilasikoy tsy ho aolom-pihaino.
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you. Give me a possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
5 Le hoe ty natoi’ o nte-Kheteo amy Avrahame,
And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6 Ijanjiño roandriako; Mpifeleke ama’ay irehe. Alenteho an-kibory lengo’e ama’ay i vilasi’oy, tsy ia ama’ay ty hitañe azo amy lona’ey tsy handeveña’o i vilasi’oy.
Hear us, my lord. Thou are a prince of God among us. Bury thy dead in our choice sepulchers. None of us shall withhold from thee his sepulcher, but that thou may bury thy dead.
7 Niongake t’i Avrahame vaho nibokok’ am’ ondati’ i taneio, amo ana’ i Kheteo,
And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the sons of Heth.
8 le nisaontsia’e ty hoe, Naho no’areo ty handentehako tsy ho aolom-pihainoko i vilasikoy, le janjiño, vaho halalio t’i Efrone ana’ i Tsokare
And he conversed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
9 ty hanolora’e ahiko i lakato’ i Makpelà ama’ey; i añ’ ila’ i tete’eiy. Ami’ty vola-foty do’e ty hanolora’e ahy ho fanañako añivo’ areo ao ho fandentehako.
that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. Let him give it to me for the full price in the midst of you for a possession of a burying place.
10 Niambesatse añivo’ o nte-Kheteo t’i Efrone; vaho hoe ty natoi’ i Efrone nte-Khete amy Avrahame am-pijanjiña’ ze hene nte-Khete mpiheo mb’an-dalam-bei’ i rovaio:
Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the sons of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
11 Aiy! ry Androanavio: Janjiño iraho, fa omeiko azo i tonday, naho atoloko azo i lakato ama’ey. Añatrefa’ o ana’ ondatiko etoañe ty anolorako azo; aleveño i vilasi’o.
No, my lord, hear me. I give thee the field. And the cave that is in it, I give it to thee. I give it to thee in the presence of the sons of my people. Bury thy dead.
12 Aa le nibokok’ añatrefa’ ondati’ i taneio t’i Avrahame,
And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 vaho nanao ty hoe amy Efrone am-pijanjiña’ ondati’ i taneio, Aa naho mete le janjiño o ahikoo! Hitolorako drala amy tetekey; andrambeso amako le haleveko ao i vilasikoy.
And he spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou will, I pray thee, hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Nanoiñe i Avrahame t’i Efrone ami’ty hoe,
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 O talèko, Inao; mañeva 400 sekelem-bolafoty i taney, fa inon-jay añivon-tika? Aleveño i vilasi’oy.
My lord, hearken to me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and thee? Therefore bury thy dead.
16 Niantofa’ i Avrahame t’i Efrone le linanja’e amy Efrone i volafoty tsinara’e am-pijanjiña’ o nte-Kheteoy, i sekele volafoty 400 an-danjam-pandetake rey.
And Abraham hearkened to Ephron. And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver that he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
17 Aa le tsitsike voalily ty tonda’ i Efrone e Makpelà ao atiñana’ i Mamrè añe, i tetekey reketse ty lakato’e ao, naho ze hatae amy tetekey naho ze mifahetse amy taney,
So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the border of it round about, were made sure
18 amy Avrahame ho fanaña’e añatrefa’ o ana’ i Kheteo, aolo’ ze mpimoak’ an-dalambei’ i rovay.
to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
19 Añe izay le naleve’ i Avrahame amy lakato an-tete’ i Makpelày miatreke i Mamrè (toe i Khebrone) an-tane Kanàne ao t’i Sarà.
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 Songa pinate’ o ana’ i Kheteo ho a i Avrahame i tonday rekets’ i lakato ama’e ao ho fandetehañe.
And the field, and the cave that is in it, were made sure to Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth.
