2 Ɔwuu wɔ Kiriat-Arba a ɛno ara ne Hebron a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so. Abraham kɔgyam ne yere Sara, suu no wɔ hɔ.
and diede in the citee of Arbee, which is Ebron, in the lond of Chanaan; and Abraham cam to biweyle and biwepe hir.
3 Abraham gyaa ne yere Sara amu no hɔ, kɔɔ Hetifoɔ mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn, kɔsrɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
And whanne he hadde rise fro the office of the deed bodi, he spak to the sones of Heth, and seide,
4 “Meyɛ ɔhɔhoɔ ne mamfrani a mete mo mu. Mesrɛ mo, montɔn mo asase yi bi mma me, na mensie me yere wɔ so.”
Y am a comelyng and a pilgrym anentis you; yyue ye to me riyt of sepulcre with you, that Y birie my deed body.
5 Hetifoɔ no buaa Abraham sɛ,
And the sones of Heth answeriden, and seiden, Lord, here thou vs;
6 “Owura, yɛsrɛ wo, tie asɛm a yɛrebɛka yi. Woyɛ Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ kɛseɛ wɔ yɛn mu. Yɛn boda biara a ɛsɔ wʼani a wopɛ sɛ wosie wo yere wɔ hɔ no, yɛma wo ho kwan, kɔsie no. Yɛn mu biara remfa ne boda nkame wo.”
thou art the prince of God anentis vs; birie thou thi deed bodi in oure chosun sepulcris, and no man schal mow forbede thee, that ne thou birie thi deed bodi in the sepulcre of him.
7 Ɛhɔ ara, Abraham sɔre bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ Hetifoɔ no anim,
And Abraham roos, and worschipide the puple of the lond, that is, the sones of Heth.
8 ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ moapene so sɛ mensie mʼamu no wɔ ha deɛ a, mepa mo kyɛw, monsrɛ Efron a ɔyɛ Sohar babarima no mma me,
And he seide to hem, If it plesith youre soule that Y birie my deed bodi, here ye me, and preie ye for me to Efron, the sone of Seor,
9 na ɔntɔn Makpela ɔboda a ɛwɔ nʼafuo ano no mma me. Monka nkyerɛ no na ɔntɔn no sɛdeɛ ne boɔ die pɛpɛɛpɛ mma me, na mede hɔ ayɛ me ne mʼabusuafoɔ amusieeɛ.”
that he yyue to me the double caue, whiche he hath in the vttirmoste part of his feeld; for sufficiaunt money yyue he it to me bifore you into possessioun of sepulcre.
10 Saa ɛberɛ no na Hetini Efron a ɔte ne manfoɔ mu no buaa Abraham maa ne nkurɔfoɔ a wɔahyia wɔ kuro no ɛpono ano nyinaa tee sɛ,
Forsothe Efron dwellide in the myddis of the sones of Heth. And Efron answerde to Abraham, while alle men herden that entriden bi the yate of that citee,
11 “Dabi, me wura, tie me! Mede afuo no ne ɔboda a ɛwɔ mu no kyɛ wo. Megyina me manfoɔ anim, na mede kyɛ wo. Kɔsie wʼamu no wɔ hɔ.”
and seide, My lord, it schal not be doon so, but more herkne thou that that Y seie; Y yyue to thee the feeld, and the denne which is therine, while the sones of my puple ben present; birie thou thi deed bodi.
12 Bio Abraham de obuo ne anidie bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ ɔmanfoɔ no anim,
Abraham worschipide bifor the Lord, and bifor the puple of the lond,
13 ka kyerɛɛ Efron maa wɔn a wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no nyinaa tee asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no sɛ, “Mesrɛ mo, ɔmanfoɔ, monyɛ aso mma me. Momma mentua asase no ka. Mompene so mma me, na mennya ɛkwan nkɔsie mʼamu no.”
and he spak to Efron, while his puple stood aboute, Y biseche, that thou here me; Y schal yyue money for the feeld, resseyue thou it, and so Y schal birie my deed bodi in the feeld.
14 Efron buaa Abraham sɛ,
And Efron answerde, My lord,
15 “Me wura, tie me! Asase no boɔ yɛ dwetɛ kilogram ɛnan ne fa. Yɛnyɛ nnipa baako anaa? Meregye saa sika yi ayɛ ɛdeɛn? Kɔsie wʼamu no!”
here thou me, the lond which thou axist is worth foure hundrid siclis of siluer, that is the prijs bitwixe me and thee, but hou myche is this? birie thou thi deed bodi.
16 Abraham penee Efron asɛm no so. Ɔkarii dwetɛ kilogram ɛnan ne fa a ɛyɛ asase no boɔ de maa Efron. Saa ara na na adwadifoɔ tɔn asase wɔ Hetifoɔ ɔman mu, na Hetifoɔ mpanimfoɔ no dii dwumadie no ho adanseɛ.
And whanne Abraham hadde herd this, he noumbride the monei which Efron axide, while the sones of Heth herden, foure hundrid siclis of siluer, and of preuyd comyn monei.
17 Enti, wɔde Efron asase a ɛwɔ Makpela a ɛbɛn Mamrɛ, a ɛyɛ afuo no, ɔboda a ɛwɔ mu no, nnua a ɛwɔ afuo no mu ne nʼahyeɛ so nyinaa maa
And the feeld that was sumtyme of Efron, in which feeld was a double denne, biholdinge to Mambre, as wel thilke feeld as the denne and alle the trees therof, in alle termes therof bi cumpas, was confermed to Abraham in to possessioun,
18 Abraham sɛ nʼagyapadeɛ. Yei nyinaa sii wɔ Hetifoɔ no ne wɔn a wɔbaa kuro no ɛpono no ano nyinaa anim.
while the sones of Heth seiyen and alle men that entriden bi the yate of that citee.
19 Afei, Abraham siee ne yere Sara wɔ ɔboda a ɛwɔ Makpela afuo a ɛbɛn Mamrɛ a ɛno ara ne Hebron a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no mu.
And so Abraham biriede Sare, his wijf, in the double denne of the feeld, that bihelde to Mambre; this is Ebron in the lond of Chanaan.
20 Enti, Hetifoɔ no yɛɛ nhyehyɛeɛ de afuo no ne ɔboda a ɛwɔ mu no maa Abraham sɛ, nʼagyapadeɛ ne nʼamusieeɛ.
And the feeld, and the denne that was therynne, was confermyd of the sones of Heth to Abraham, in to possessioun of sepulcre.
