Uumama 23
1 Saaraan waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi digdamii torba jiraatte; barri jireenya Saaraas kanuma ture.
When Sarah was an hundreth twentie and seuen yeere olde (so long liued she).
2 Isheenis Kiriyaati Arbaaq jechuunis Kebroon biyya Kanaʼaan keessaa sanatti duute; Abrahaamis Saaraadhaaf gadduu fi booʼuudhaaf jedhee dhaqe.
Then Sarah dyed in Kiriath-arba: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. and Abraham came to mourne for Sarah and to weepe for her.
3 Abrahaam reeffa niitii isaa biraa kaʼee Heetotaan akkana jedhe;
Then Abraham rose vp from the sight of his corps, and talked with the Hittites, saying,
4 “Ani gidduu keessanitti ormaa fi keessummaa dha. Akka ani duʼaa koo itti awwaalladhuuf lafa awwaalaaf taʼu natti gurguraa.”
I am a stranger, and a forreiner among you, giue me a possession of buriall with you, that I may burie my dead out of my sight.
5 Heetonnis akkana jedhanii Abrahaamii fi deebii kennan;
Then the Hittites answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
6 “Gooftaa, nu dhagaʼi. Ati nu gidduutti shuumii jabaa dha. Duʼaa kee iddoo awwaala keenyaa keessaa kan akka malee filatamaa taʼetti awwaalladhu. Nu keessaa namni iddoo awwaala isaatti duʼaa kee awwaallachuu si dhowwatu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.”
Heare vs, my lorde: thou art a prince of God among vs: in the chiefest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of vs shall forbid thee his sepulchre, but thou mayest bury thy dead therein.
7 Abrahaamis ol kaʼee fuula namoota biyya sanaa fuula Heetotaa duratti gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
Then Abraham stoode vp, and bowed him selfe before the people of the land of the Hittites.
8 Akkanas isaaniin jedhe; “Ani duʼaa koo akkan awwaalladhu fedhii yoo qabaattan na dhagaʼaatii Efroon ilma Zoohar sana naa kadhadhaa.
And he communed with them, saying, If it be your minde, that I shall bury my dead out of my sight, heare me, and intreate for me to Ephron the sonne of Zohar,
9 Innis holqa Makfelaa jedhamu kan qarqara lafa qotiisaa isaatti argamu sana natti ni gurgura. Inni iddoo awwaalaa sana gatii guutuudhaan fuula keessan duratti akka natti gurguruuf naa gaafadhaa.”
That he would giue me ye caue of Machpelah, which he hath in the ende of his field: that he would giue it me for as much money as it is worth, for a possession to bury in among you.
10 Efroon Heetichi saba isaa gidduu taaʼaa ture; innis utuma Heetonni gara karra magaalaa isaa dhufan sun hundi dhagaʼanuu akkana jedhee Abrahaamiif deebii kenne;
(For Ephron dwelt among the Hittites) Then Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of all the Hittites that went in at the gates of his citie, saying,
11 “Gooftaa ko, akkana miti; mee na dhaggeeffadhu; ani lafa qotiisaa kana siif nan kenna; holqa achi jirus siif nan kenna; ani fuula saba koo duratti holqa kana siifin kenna; duʼaa kee itti awwaalladhu.”
No, my Lord, heare me: the fielde giue I thee, and the caue, that therein is, I giue it thee: euen in the presence of the sonnes of my people giue I it thee, to bury thy dead.
12 Abrahaam amma illee fuula saba biyya sanaa duratti gad jedhee harka fuudhee,
Then Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the land,
13 utuma isaan dhagaʼanuu Efrooniin, “Yoo fedhii kee taʼe, na dhagaʼi. Ani gatii lafa qotiisaa kanaa nan kaffala. Akka ani duʼaa koo achitti awwaalladhuuf gatii kana na harkaa fudhadhu” jedhe.
And spake vnto Ephron in the audience of the people of the countrey, saying, Seeing thou wilt giue it, I pray thee, heare me, I will giue the price of the fielde: receiue it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Efroonis akkana jedhee Abrahaamiif deebii kenne;
Ephron then answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
15 “Gooftaa ko, mee na dhagaʼi; gatiin lafa kanaa meetii saqilii dhibba afur taʼa; garuu kun anaa fi si gidduutti maali? Duʼaa kee itti awwaalladhu.”
My lord, hearken vnto me: ye land is worth foure hundreth shekels of siluer: what is that betweene me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
16 Abrahaamis waan Efroon dubbate sana fudhatee gatii inni utuma Heetonni dhagaʼanuu himate sana madaaleef; gatiin sunis akka madaalii daldaltoota yeroo sanaatti meetii saqilii dhibba afur ture.
So Abraham hearkened vnto Ephron, and Abraham weyed to Ephron the siluer, which he had named, in the audience of the Hittites, euen foure hundreth siluer shekels of currant money among marchants.
17 Akkasitti lafti qotiisaa Efroon kan fuula Mamree dura, Makfelaa keessa jiru sun jechuunis lafti qotiisaatii fi holqi isa keessa jiru, mukni daangaa lafa qotiisaa sana keessa jiru hundi,
So the fielde of Ephron which was in Machpelah, and ouer against Mamre, euen the field and the caue that was therein, and all the trees that were in the fielde, which were in all the borders round about, was made sure
18 fuula Heetota gara karra magaalaa dhufan hundaa duratti akka dhaalaatti Abrahaamitti dabarfame.
Vnto Abraham for a possession, in ye sight of the Hittites, euen of all that went in at the gates of his citie.
19 Ergasii Abrahaam biyya Kanaʼaan keessa, holqa Makfelaa kan Mamree bira jechuunis Kebroon bira jiru sanatti niitii isaa Saaraa Awwaallate.
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah ouer against Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
20 Akkasitti lafa qotiisaa sunii fi holqi achi keessaa akka lafa awwaalaa taʼuuf Heetota irraa akka dhaalaatti Abrahaamitti dabarfame.
Thus the fielde and the caue, that is therein, was made sure vnto Abraham for a possession of buriall by the Hittites.
