Genesis 23
1 Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
Sarah chu kum jakhat le kum som ni le kum sagi jen ahing in,
2 Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Sarah chu Kiriath-arba kiti muna athi tan, hichu Hebron kiti Canaan gam sunga um ahi, hichun Abraham chu Sarah umlou jeh a lunghel le mitlhi long in achup in ahi.
3 Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
Hichun ajinu long adalhah ding jeh in Hit mite ho kom a aseiyin,
4 “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.”
“Keima gam chom mi kahin nangho lah a maljin bou kahi. Gambeh neo khat nei choh sah un, chuti le keiman ka jinu hi phaten kivui thei ing'e,” ati.
5 The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Hit mite ho chun Abraham adonbut un,
6 “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.”
Ja umtah kapu thuseiyu ngaiyin, nangma Pathen a leng chapa banga kei ho lah a uma keiho lhan khuh aphapen khat'a khun na thilong chu vui jeng in, ka lah uva mihem khat cha jong hi alhan khuh na itpeh a na thilong na vuisah lou ding aum poi,” atiuve.
7 Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
Hichun Abraham ading doh in agamsung mipite Hite miho chu salam bol din abohkhup tai.
8 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,
Abraham'in aseiyin, “Nangman nei kithopi nom kahen ahithei dingle Ephron Zohar chapa koma neisei peh uvin.”
9 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.”
“Ajeh chu agamgi chin a um ama Machpelah songlhan keo khu eipeh theiya ahile ken jong lhan muna kaman jing dingin nangho umpet tah hin aman alhingset in peng kate,” ati.
10 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,
Ephron chu mipi lah a atou pet ahin, Abraham chu adonbut in midang hon jong athusei chu aja cheh un, Hite mite ho khopi sunga umjouse jah ah hitin aseiye.
11 “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.”
“Hithei ponte ka Pakai,” tin Abraham chu adonbut'e, “Lungset tah in ka thusei hi ngaiyin, keiman ka gam sunga adam lai, atong lai, kapeh ding nahi. Tuhin mipi ho masanga nangma kapeh ding nahi, chule nangman naji nu alongdamsa navui thei ahi.”
12 Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Abraham chu agam mipiho masang a abohkhup kit in,
13 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.”
Hichun Abraham'in Ephron le mipi atou cheng ho jah'a aseikit in, “Hithei ponte, lungset tah in ngaiyun, nangho koma ka choh nom lheh e, keiman gam man chu ka peh lhing nom e, ka loinu longdamsa kavui thei na ding in,” ati.
14 Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Hichun Ephron in Abraham adonbut in,
15 “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.”
Ka Pakai lungset tah in ngaiyin hiche gam man hi dangka jali ahiye, amavang eini golcha kingailut nahi mantam ahi? che inlang na loinu long damsa chu gavui tan ati.
16 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.
Hichun Abraham chun Ephron in aseijat dangka jali chu apetan, hiche lai phat na kailhang thil man dung jui jin, thil kichoh dan ho chu Hit mite lah a tehse hon amu cheh uve.
17 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
Abraham'in Ephron koma gam Machpelah kiti Mamre koma um chu acho doh tai. Hiche mun in ahop chu ahile atong, adam sung, chule akoma thingphung um jouse jong ahi.
18 to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
Abraham dinga chu anei agou ahitan, hichea chun Hit mite kelkot kom a chenghon jong ahe soh un ahi.
19 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.
Phat chomkhat jouvin Abraham'in ajinu Sarah long Machpelah a Mamre koma Hebron kiti Canaan gamsunga avuitan ahi.
20 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.
Aleimun le aleilaiya songlhan keo chu Hite miten alhan mun dingin Abraham achansah tauve.
