UGenesisi 23
1 Njalo impilo kaSara yayiyiminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa; yiyo iminyaka yempilo kaSara.
Sara too natun esa rua nulu hitu ma, ana mate. Leleꞌ ana mate, Abraham se leo sia kambo Kiryat-Arba (naeni Hebron), sia rae Kanaꞌan. Abraham nggae ei-ei ma beꞌe sao na mamate na.
2 USara wasefela eKiriyathi-Arba okuyiHebroni elizweni leKhanani. UAbrahama wasesiza ukumkhalela uSara lokumlilela.
3 UAbrahama wasesukuma ebusweni bofileyo wakhe, wakhuluma kumadodana kaHethi, esithi:
Basa ma, ana neu nandaa no atahori Het ra, de olaꞌ nae,
4 Ngingowezizwe lowemzini ngilani; nginikani indawo yami yokungcwabela phakathi kwenu ukuze ngimngcwabe ofileyo wami ngimsuse phambi kwami.
“Au ia numban sia hei taladꞌa mara. Au nda ma raeꞌ fo uꞌoi sao ngga sa. Mete ma hei nau, naa fee au hasa hei rae ma mbei, fo au uꞌoi e sia naa.”
5 Amadodana kaHethi asemphendula uAbrahama, athi kuye:
Ara rataa rae,
6 Sizwe, nkosi yami! Uyisikhulu esilamandla phakathi kwethu; ngcwaba ofileyo wakho kwelihle lamangcwaba ethu; kakho phakathi kwethu ozakugodlela ingcwaba lakhe ukuthi ungamngcwabi ofileyo wakho.
“Taꞌo ia amaꞌ! Mia doo na nema, hai tao amaꞌ onaꞌ atahori lasiꞌ esa fo hai fee hadat. Dadꞌi amaꞌ hii neuꞌ ena, rae bee malole lenaꞌ, nandaa no amaꞌ hihii na. Hai simbo no maloleꞌ, esa o nda ai saꞌ boe.”
7 UAbrahama wasesukuma, wakhothamela abantu balelolizwe, kumadodana kaHethi.
Boe ma Abraham o beꞌutee fee hadat neu tenu raeꞌ ra, atahori Het ra.
8 Wasekhuluma labo esithi: Uba kungentando yenu ukuthi ngimngcwabe ofileyo wami ngimsuse phambi kwami, ngizweni, lingincengele kuEfroni indodana kaZohari,
Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Mete ma hei simbo oꞌola ngga faꞌ ra, naa, au oꞌe tulun hei olaꞌ mo toulasi Sohar ana mone na, Efron.
9 ukuze anginike ubhalu lweMakaphela alalo, olusemngceleni wesiqinti sakhe, angiphe lona ngemali egcweleyo, lube yindawo yami yokungcwabela phakathi kwenu.
Moꞌe, mete ma ana nau seo luat na, naran Makpela, neu au, naa, hasa ala e. Luat naa, sia osi na suu na. Ana noꞌe feli na sudꞌiꞌ a baꞌu saa o, au bae. Au nau bae etu feli na sia basa hei mata mara, fo rae naa dadꞌi au ena ngga. Au ae tao rae naa, dadꞌi hai mamana rates ma.”
10 UEfroni wayehlezi-ke phakathi kwamadodana kaHethi, njalo uEfroni umHethi wamphendula uAbrahama endlebeni zamadodana kaHethi, lezabo bonke abangena esangweni lomuzi wakhe, esithi:
Leleꞌ naa, Efron o endoꞌ no atahori Het ra boe, de ana rena Abraham oꞌola na. Ana nambariiꞌ de nataa Abraham sia basa atahori lasiꞌ ra mata nara nae,
11 Hatshi, nkosi yami, ngizwe; isiqinti ngiyakunika, lobhalu olukuso ngiyakunika; phambi kwamehlo amadodana abantu bami ngiyakunika lona; ngcwaba ofileyo wakho.
“Afiꞌ taꞌo naa, amaꞌ. Te taꞌo ia. Au fee osi naa no luat Makpela neu amaꞌ. Amaꞌ muu muꞌoi sao ma sia naa. Au fee rae naa neu amaꞌ sia atahori nggara mata nara. Naa fo, basa se sakasii!”
12 UAbrahama wasekhothamela phansi phambi kwabantu balelolizwe.
Boe ma Abraham beꞌutee seluꞌ sia atahori Het ra mata nara.
13 Wasekhuluma kuEfroni endlebeni zabantu belizwe esithi: Kodwa nxa kunguwe, ake ungilalele; ngizanika imali yesiqinti; yemukele kimi, besengingcwaba ofileyo wami khona.
Ana olaꞌ no Efron nae, “Naa o malole boe, te rena au dei. Au ae hasa etu rae naa, fo uꞌoi atahori nggara sia naa.”
14 UEfroni wasemphendula uAbrahama esithi kuye:
Efron nataa nae, “Rae naa feli na akaꞌ a doi fulaꞌ natun haa. Soa saa ruꞌa nggita taloe neu-nema akaꞌ doiꞌ mbei anaꞌ naa? Amaꞌ muꞌoi sao ma sia naa leo.”
15 Nkosi yami, ngizwe; isiqinti samashekeli esiliva angamakhulu amane, siyini phakathi kwami lawe? Ngakho ngcwaba ofileyo wakho.
16 UAbrahama wasemlalela uEfroni; uAbrahama wasemlinganisela uEfroni isiliva ayekhulume ngaso endlebeni zamadodana kaHethi, amashekeli esiliva angamakhulu amane avunywa kumthengisi.
Abraham naꞌaheiꞌ rae a feli na, tungga Efron oꞌola na. Dadꞌi ana reken doi fulaꞌ natun haa, de bae neu Efron mia basa atahori Het ra mata na, fo ara dadꞌi sakasii.
17 Ngakho isiqinti sikaEfroni esiseMakaphela esasiqondane leMamre, isiqinti lobhalu olukuso, lazo zonke izihlahla ezisesiqintini lezizingelezele umngcele waso, kwaqiniseka
No taꞌo naa, Abraham hambu Efron rae na, dadꞌi eni ena na. Rae naa sia Makpela, deka no Mamre (naeni Hebron). Ana hasa etu rae naa no osi ma luat na, ma basa hau huuꞌ ra. Basa lasi-lasiꞌ atahori Het ra dadꞌi sakasii rae no isi na, Abraham ena na. Basa naa de, Abraham neu naꞌoi sao na sia luat naa, sia rae Kanaꞌan.
18 kuAbrahama kube yimpahla phambi kwamehlo amadodana kaHethi phakathi kwabo bonke abangena esangweni lomuzi wakhe.
19 Lemva kwalokho uAbrahama wamngcwaba uSara umkakhe obhalwini lwesiqinti seMakaphela maqondana leMamre, okuyiHebroni elizweni leKhanani.
20 Isiqinti lobhalu olukuso kwaqiniseka kuAbrahama kube yindawo yakhe yokungcwabela kuvela kumadodana kaHethi.
No taꞌo naa, osi no luat naa fo feꞌesaꞌan na, atahori Het ra rae na, ia naa, dadꞌi Abraham ena na. De ana tao dadꞌi mamana rates.
