Genesis 23
1 Sarah el moul sun yac siofok longoul itkosr matwal.
And the life of Sarrha was an hundred and twenty-seven years.
2 El misa Hebron in acn Canaan, ac Abraham el asor yokna kacl.
And Sarrha died in the city of Arboc, which is in the valley, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan; and Abraam came to lament for Sarrha and to mourn.
3 El tuyak liki acn se ma monin mutan kial oan we, ac som nu yurin mwet Hit, ac fahk,
And Abraam stood up from before his dead; and Abraam spoke to the sons of Chet, saying,
4 “Nga mwetsac se muta inmasrlowos inge. Kukakunma sie ipin acn an nu sik, ngan pikinya mutan kiuk uh we.”
I am a sojourner and a stranger among you, give me therefore possession of a burying-place among you, and I will bury my dead away from me.
5 Elos topuk,
And the sons of Chet answered to Abraam, saying, Not so, Sir,
6 “Mwet kacto, porongekut. Kut oek mu kom mwet kol fulat ac pwengpeng se. Kom ku in pikinya mutan kiom an ke kulyuk se ma wo emeet lasr uh. Kut nukewa arulana engan in asot sie kulyuk an nu sum, tuh kom fah pikinya mutan kiom an kac.”
but hear us; you are in the midst of us a king from God; bury your dead in our choice sepulchres, for not one of us will by any means withhold his sepulchre from you, so that you should not bury your dead there.
7 Na Abraham el pasrla ye mutalos
And Abraam rose up and did obeisance to the people of the land, to the sons of Chet.
8 ac fahk, “Kowos fin insese in lela nga in pikinya mutan kiuk uh inge, nunak munas siyuk sel Ephron, wen natul Zohar,
And Abraam spoke to them, saying, If you have it in your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, listen to me, and speak for me to Ephron the son Saar.
9 elan kukakunma luf se Machpelah, su oanna ke sisken acn lal. Siyuk elan kukakunma nu sik ke molo na pwaye an ye motowos, ac nga fah molela luk mwe kulyuk.”
And let him give me the double cave which he has, which is in a part of his field, let him give it me for the money it is worth for possession of a burying-place among you.
10 In pacl sac, Ephron el wi mwet Hit wial muta ke acn in meeting se ke mutunpot nu in siti uh. Ac el topuk ye mutun mwet nukewa su muta in acn sac,
Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Chet, and Ephron the Chettite answered Abraam and spoke in the hearing of the sons of Chet, and of all who entered the city, saying,
11 “Mwet kacto, porongeyu. Nga fah sot nu sum ipin acn sac nufon wi pac luf se ma oan we ah. Nga ac sot lom ye mutun mwet luk inge, tuh kom fah ku in pikinya mutan kiom an we.”
Attend to me, my lord, and hear me, I give to you the field and the cave which is in it; I have given it you before all my country men; bury your dead.
12 Tusruktu Abraham el pasrla ye mutun mwet Hit uh
And Abraam did obeisance before the people of the land.
13 ac fahk nu sel Ephron tuh mwet nukewa in ku in lohng, “Nga siyuk kom in nunak munas lohngwin ma nga ac fahk uh. Nga ac moli ipin acn nufon sac. Sruokya molo uh, tuh nga fah ku in pikinya mutan kiuk uh we.”
And he said in the ears of Ephron before the people of the land, Since you are on my side, hear me; take the price of the field from me, and I will bury my dead there.
14 Ephron el topuk,
But Ephron answered Abraam, saying,
15 “Mwet kacto, lupan molin acn uh ipin silver angfoko na — lupa se ingan ma na pilasr siktal. Pikinya na mutan kiom an we.”
Nay, my lord, I have heard indeed, the land [is worth] four hundred silver didrachmas, but what can this be between me and you? nay, do you bury your dead.
16 Abraham el insese nu kac, ac srikeya lupa se ma Ephron el fahk ye mutun mwet ah — ipin silver angfoko, fal nu ke srikasrak ma orekmakinyuk sin mwet kuka.
And Abraam listened to Ephron, and Abraam rendered to Ephron the money, which he mentioned in the ears of the sons of Chet, four hundred didrachmas of silver approved with merchants.
17 Pa oru acn sel Ephron in Machpelah, su oan kutulap in Mamre, tuh lal Abraham lac ah. Ma Ephron el kitaung uh pa acn ah, luf sac, ac sak nukewa fin acn sac, utyak na nwe ke masrol lal ah.
And the field of Ephron, which was in Double Cave, which is opposite Mambre, the field and the cave, which was in it, and every tree which was in the field, and whatever is in its borders round about, were made sure in its borders round about, were made sure
18 Eteyuk sin mwet Hit nukewa su wi muta in pacl sac lah ma lac lal Abraham pa acn sac.
to Abraam for a possession, before the sons of Chet, and all that entered into the city.
19 Tukun ma inge, Abraham el piknilya Sarah, mutan kial, in luf se Machpelah in acn Canaan.
After this Abraam buried Sarrha his wife in the Double Cave of the field, which is opposite Mambre, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan.
20 Ouinge ipin acn se su tuh ma lun mwet Hit ah meet, ac luf se ma oan we, ma lac lal Abraham mwe kulyuk.
So the field and the cave which was in it were made sure to Abraam for possession of a burying place, by the sons of Chet.
