Uumama 23
1 Saaraan waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi digdamii torba jiraatte; barri jireenya Saaraas kanuma ture.
And Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years old: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
2 Isheenis Kiriyaati Arbaaq jechuunis Kebroon biyya Kanaʼaan keessaa sanatti duute; Abrahaamis Saaraadhaaf gadduu fi booʼuudhaaf jedhee dhaqe.
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 Abrahaam reeffa niitii isaa biraa kaʼee Heetotaan akkana jedhe;
And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, 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 sojourner with you; give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
5 Heetonnis akkana jedhanii Abrahaamii fi deebii kennan;
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to 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.”
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 Abrahaamis ol kaʼee fuula namoota biyya sanaa fuula Heetotaa duratti gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
And Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
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 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 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 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 Efroon Heetichi saba isaa gidduu taaʼaa ture; innis utuma Heetonni gara karra magaalaa isaa dhufan sun hundi dhagaʼanuu akkana jedhee Abrahaamiif deebii kenne;
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 “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.”
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 Abrahaam amma illee fuula saba biyya sanaa duratti gad jedhee harka fuudhee,
And Abraham bowed himself 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 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 Efroonis akkana jedhee Abrahaamiif deebii kenne;
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to 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 to me: the land [is worth] four hundred shekels of silver; what [is] that betwixt 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.
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 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,
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 fuula Heetota gara karra magaalaa dhufan hundaa duratti akka dhaalaatti Abrahaamitti dabarfame.
To Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that entered the gate of his city.
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 cave of the field of Machpelah, before 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.
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.
