Genesis 23
1 Sara sì pé ọmọ ọdún mẹ́tàdínláàádóje.
Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
2 Ó sì kú ní Kiriati-Arba (ìyẹn ní Hebroni) ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, Abrahamu lọ láti ṣọ̀fọ̀ àti láti sọkún nítorí Sara.
Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 Abrahamu sì dìde lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ òkú aya rẹ̀, ó sì sọ fún àwọn ará Hiti wí pé,
Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
4 “Èmi jẹ́ àtìpó àti àlejò láàrín yín, ẹ ta ilẹ̀ ìsìnkú fún mi kí èmi le sin òkú tí ó kú fún mi sí.”
“I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
5 Àwọn ọmọ Hiti dá Abrahamu lóhùn pé,
The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6 “Olúwa mi, gbọ́ tiwa, ó jẹ́ alágbára ọmọ-aládé láàrín wa, sin òkú rẹ sí ibojì tí ó dára jù nínú àwọn ibojì wa, kò sí ẹni tí yóò fi ibojì rẹ dù ọ́ láti sin òkú rẹ sí.”
“Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
7 Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu dìde, ó sì tẹríba níwájú àwọn ará ilẹ̀ náà, àwọn ará Hiti.
Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
8 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Bí ó bá ṣe pé, lóòótọ́ ni ẹ fẹ́ kí n sin òkú mi kúrò nílẹ̀, ẹ gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ bá mi bẹ Efroni ọmọ Sohari,
He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
9 kí ó ta ihò àpáta Makpela tí ó jẹ́ tirẹ̀ fún mi, èyí tí ó wà ni orí oko rẹ̀, kí ó tà á fún mi ni iye owó tí à ń ta irú rẹ̀ fún ilẹ̀ ìsìnkú láàrín yín.”
that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me among you as a possession for a burial place.”
10 Efroni ará Hiti sì wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, ó sì dá Abrahamu lóhùn lójú gbogbo àwọn ará ìlú tí ó wà níbẹ̀, lẹ́nu ibodè ìlú,
Now Ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
11 pé, “Rárá, olúwa mi. Gbọ́ tèmi; mo fún ọ ní ilẹ̀ náà àti ihò àpáta tí ó wà níbẹ̀. Mo fún ọ níwájú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mi. Sin òkú rẹ síbẹ̀.”
“No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
12 Abrahamu sì tún tẹríba níwájú àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà,
Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 ó sì wí fún Efroni lójú gbogbo wọn pé, “Bí ìwọ bá fẹ́, gbọ́ tèmi, èmi yóò san owó ilẹ̀ náà, gbà á lọ́wọ́ mi kí n lè sin òkú mi síbẹ̀.”
He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
14 Efroni sì dá Abrahamu lóhùn pé,
Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 “Gbọ́ tèmi Olúwa mi, irinwó òsùwọ̀n owó fàdákà ni ilẹ̀ náà, ṣùgbọ́n kín ni ìyẹn já mọ láàrín àwa méjèèjì? Sá à sin òkú rẹ.”
“My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”
16 Abrahamu sì gbọ́ tí Efroni wí, Abrahamu sì wọn iye fàdákà náà fún Efroni, tí ó sọ ní etí àwọn ọmọ Hiti, irinwó òsùwọ̀n ṣékélì fàdákà, tí ó kọjá lọ́dọ̀ àwọn oníṣòwò.
Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.
17 Báyìí ni ilẹ̀ Efroni tí ó wà ni Makpela nítòsí Mamre, ilẹ̀ náà àti ihò àpáta tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ àti gbogbo igi tí ó wà nínú ilẹ̀ náà ni a ṣe ètò rẹ̀ dájú,
So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded
18 bí ohun ìní fún Abrahamu níwájú gbogbo ará Hiti tí ó wá sí ẹnu ibodè ìlú náà.
to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
19 Lẹ́yìn náà ni Abrahamu sin aya rẹ̀ Sara sínú ihò àpáta ní ilẹ̀ Makpela nítòsí Mamre (tí í ṣe Hebroni) ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani.
After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
20 Ilẹ̀ náà àti ihò àpáta tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ ni àwọn ará Hiti fi fún Abrahamu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ìní títí láé, bí ilẹ̀ ìsìnkú fún àwọn òkú tí ó bá kú fun un.
The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham by the children of Heth as a possession for a burial place.
