< Genesis 23 >

1 When Sarah was an hundreth twentie and seuen yeere olde (so long liued she).
Sara too natun esa rua nulu hitu ma, ana mate. Leleꞌ ana mate, Abraham se leo sia kambo Kiryat-Arba (naeni Hebron), sia rae Kanaꞌan. Abraham nggae ei-ei ma beꞌe sao na mamate na.
2 Then Sarah dyed in Kiriath-arba: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. and Abraham came to mourne for Sarah and to weepe for her.
3 Then Abraham rose vp from the sight of his corps, and talked with the Hittites, saying,
Basa ma, ana neu nandaa no atahori Het ra, de olaꞌ nae,
4 I am a stranger, and a forreiner among you, giue me a possession of buriall with you, that I may burie my dead out of my sight.
“Au ia numban sia hei taladꞌa mara. Au nda ma raeꞌ fo uꞌoi sao ngga sa. Mete ma hei nau, naa fee au hasa hei rae ma mbei, fo au uꞌoi e sia naa.”
5 Then the Hittites answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
Ara rataa rae,
6 Heare vs, my lorde: thou art a prince of God among vs: in the chiefest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of vs shall forbid thee his sepulchre, but thou mayest bury thy dead therein.
“Taꞌo ia amaꞌ! Mia doo na nema, hai tao amaꞌ onaꞌ atahori lasiꞌ esa fo hai fee hadat. Dadꞌi amaꞌ hii neuꞌ ena, rae bee malole lenaꞌ, nandaa no amaꞌ hihii na. Hai simbo no maloleꞌ, esa o nda ai saꞌ boe.”
7 Then Abraham stoode vp, and bowed him selfe before the people of the land of the Hittites.
Boe ma Abraham o beꞌutee fee hadat neu tenu raeꞌ ra, atahori Het ra.
8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your minde, that I shall bury my dead out of my sight, heare me, and intreate for me to Ephron the sonne of Zohar,
Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Mete ma hei simbo oꞌola ngga faꞌ ra, naa, au oꞌe tulun hei olaꞌ mo toulasi Sohar ana mone na, Efron.
9 That he would giue me ye caue of Machpelah, which he hath in the ende of his field: that he would giue it me for as much money as it is worth, for a possession to bury in among you.
Moꞌe, mete ma ana nau seo luat na, naran Makpela, neu au, naa, hasa ala e. Luat naa, sia osi na suu na. Ana noꞌe feli na sudꞌiꞌ a baꞌu saa o, au bae. Au nau bae etu feli na sia basa hei mata mara, fo rae naa dadꞌi au ena ngga. Au ae tao rae naa, dadꞌi hai mamana rates ma.”
10 (For Ephron dwelt among the Hittites) Then Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of all the Hittites that went in at the gates of his citie, saying,
Leleꞌ naa, Efron o endoꞌ no atahori Het ra boe, de ana rena Abraham oꞌola na. Ana nambariiꞌ de nataa Abraham sia basa atahori lasiꞌ ra mata nara nae,
11 No, my Lord, heare me: the fielde giue I thee, and the caue, that therein is, I giue it thee: euen in the presence of the sonnes of my people giue I it thee, to bury thy dead.
“Afiꞌ taꞌo naa, amaꞌ. Te taꞌo ia. Au fee osi naa no luat Makpela neu amaꞌ. Amaꞌ muu muꞌoi sao ma sia naa. Au fee rae naa neu amaꞌ sia atahori nggara mata nara. Naa fo, basa se sakasii!”
12 Then Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the land,
Boe ma Abraham beꞌutee seluꞌ sia atahori Het ra mata nara.
13 And spake vnto Ephron in the audience of the people of the countrey, saying, Seeing thou wilt giue it, I pray thee, heare me, I will giue the price of the fielde: receiue it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
Ana olaꞌ no Efron nae, “Naa o malole boe, te rena au dei. Au ae hasa etu rae naa, fo uꞌoi atahori nggara sia naa.”
14 Ephron then answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
Efron nataa nae, “Rae naa feli na akaꞌ a doi fulaꞌ natun haa. Soa saa ruꞌa nggita taloe neu-nema akaꞌ doiꞌ mbei anaꞌ naa? Amaꞌ muꞌoi sao ma sia naa leo.”
15 My lord, hearken vnto me: ye land is worth foure hundreth shekels of siluer: what is that betweene me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
16 So Abraham hearkened vnto Ephron, and Abraham weyed to Ephron the siluer, which he had named, in the audience of the Hittites, euen foure hundreth siluer shekels of currant money among marchants.
Abraham naꞌaheiꞌ rae a feli na, tungga Efron oꞌola na. Dadꞌi ana reken doi fulaꞌ natun haa, de bae neu Efron mia basa atahori Het ra mata na, fo ara dadꞌi sakasii.
17 So the fielde of Ephron which was in Machpelah, and ouer against Mamre, euen the field and the caue that was therein, and all the trees that were in the fielde, which were in all the borders round about, was made sure
No taꞌo naa, Abraham hambu Efron rae na, dadꞌi eni ena na. Rae naa sia Makpela, deka no Mamre (naeni Hebron). Ana hasa etu rae naa no osi ma luat na, ma basa hau huuꞌ ra. Basa lasi-lasiꞌ atahori Het ra dadꞌi sakasii rae no isi na, Abraham ena na. Basa naa de, Abraham neu naꞌoi sao na sia luat naa, sia rae Kanaꞌan.
18 Vnto Abraham for a possession, in ye sight of the Hittites, euen of all that went in at the gates of his citie.
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah ouer against Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
20 Thus the fielde and the caue, that is therein, was made sure vnto Abraham for a possession of buriall by the Hittites.
No taꞌo naa, osi no luat naa fo feꞌesaꞌan na, atahori Het ra rae na, ia naa, dadꞌi Abraham ena na. De ana tao dadꞌi mamana rates.
