Genesis 23
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And the life of Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.
1Sarah el moul sun yac siofok longoul itkosr matwal.
2And Sarah died in Kiriatharba — the same is Hebron — in the land of Canaan; and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
2El misa Hebron in acn Canaan, ac Abraham el asor yokna kacl.
3And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke unto the children of Heth, saying:
3El tuyak liki acn se ma monin mutan kial oan we, ac som nu yurin mwet Hit, ac fahk,
4'I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.'
4“Nga mwetsac se muta inmasrlowos inge. Kukakunma sie ipin acn an nu sik, ngan pikinya mutan kiuk uh we.”
5And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him:
5Elos topuk,
6'Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us; in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.'
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.”
7And Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
7Na Abraham el pasrla ye mutalos
8And he spoke with them, saying: 'If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
8ac fahk, “Kowos fin insese in lela nga in pikinya mutan kiuk uh inge, nunak munas siyuk sel Ephron, wen natul Zohar,
9that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in the midst of you for a possession of a burying-place.'
9elan 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.”
10Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying:
10In 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,
11'Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee; bury thy dead.'
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.”
12And Abraham bowed down before the people of the land.
12Tusruktu Abraham el pasrla ye mutun mwet Hit uh
13And he spoke unto Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying: 'But if thou wilt, I pray thee, hear me: I will give the price of the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.'
13ac 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.”
14And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him:
14Ephron el topuk,
15'My lord, hearken unto me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.'
15“Mwet kacto, lupan molin acn uh ipin silver angfoko na — lupa se ingan ma na pilasr siktal. Pikinya na mutan kiom an we.”
16And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
16Abraham 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.
17So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the border thereof round about, were made sure
17Pa 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.
18unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
18Eteyuk sin mwet Hit nukewa su wi muta in pacl sac lah ma lac lal Abraham pa acn sac.
19And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre — the same is Hebron — in the land of Canaan.
19Tukun ma inge, Abraham el piknilya Sarah, mutan kial, in luf se Machpelah in acn Canaan.
20And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a burying-place by the children of Heth.
20Ouinge ipin acn se su tuh ma lun mwet Hit ah meet, ac luf se ma oan we, ma lac lal Abraham mwe kulyuk.
