Genesisy 23
1 Zato tsi-roapolo fito’amby taoñe ty haantera’ i Sarà, ty taon-kavelo’ i Sarà,
And Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven 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 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 children 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 [art] a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchers bury thy dead: none of us will withhold from thee his sepulcher, 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, 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 is 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 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 burying-place among 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, of all that entered the gates 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 to thee, and the cave that [is] in it, I give it to thee; in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to thee: bury thy dead.
12 Aa le nibokok’ añatrefa’ ondati’ i taneio t’i Avrahame,
And Abraham bowed 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 spoke to 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 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: 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 to 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] in it, 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.
To Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that entered 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.
