Genesisy 23
1 Zato tsi-roapolo fito’amby taoñe ty haantera’ i Sarà, ty taon-kavelo’ i Sarà,
And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: [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 Kirjath-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 stood up from before his dead, and spake unto 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 buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
5 Le hoe ty natoi’ o nte-Kheteo amy Avrahame,
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto 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 [art] a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
7 Niongake t’i Avrahame vaho nibokok’ am’ ondati’ i taneio, amo ana’ i Kheteo,
And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, [even] to the children 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 communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat 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 hath, 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 amongst you.
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:
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 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.
Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that [is] therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
12 Aa le nibokok’ añatrefa’ ondati’ i taneio t’i Avrahame,
And Abraham bowed down himself 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 spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Nanoiñe i Avrahame t’i Efrone ami’ty hoe,
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
15 O talèko, Inao; mañeva 400 sekelem-bolafoty i taney, fa inon-jay añivon-tika? Aleveño i vilasi’oy.
My lord, hearken unto me: the land [is worth] four hundred shekels of silver; what [is] that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore 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 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 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,
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 amy Avrahame ho fanaña’e añatrefa’ o ana’ i Kheteo, aolo’ ze mpimoak’ an-dalambei’ i rovay.
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 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] therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
