1 S arah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.

A kotahi rau e rua tekau ma whitu nga tau i ora ai a Hara: ko nga tau enei i ora ai a Hara.

2 S o Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.

Na ka mate a Hara ki Kiriata Arapa, ara ki Heperona, i te whenua o Kanaana: a ka haere a Aperahama ki te uhunga ki a Hara, ki te tangi hoki ki a ia.

3 T hen Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

A ka whakatika a Aperahama i te ritenga atu o tona tupapaku, ka korero ki nga tama a Hete, ka mea,

4 “ I am a foreigner and a visitor among you. Give me property for a burial place among you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”

He manene ahau, he noho noa iho i roto i a koutou: homai tetahi wahi ki ahau hei tanumanga i roto i a koutou, kia tanumia ai e ahau toku tupapaku, kia ngaro ai i taku tirohanga.

5 A nd the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

Na ka whakahoki nga tama a Hete ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia,

6 “ Hear us, my lord: You are a mighty prince among us; bury your dead in the choicest of our burial places. None of us will withhold from you his burial place, that you may bury your dead.”

Whakarongo ki a matou, e toku ariki: he rangatira nui koe i roto i a matou: whiriwhiria e koe tetahi o o matou urupa, ka tanu ai i tou tupapaku; e kore e kaiponuhia e tetahi o matou tana urupa i a koe, hei tanumanga mo tou tupapaku.

7 T hen Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.

Na ka whakatika a Aperahama, ka piko ki te tangata whenua, ki nga tama a Hete.

8 A nd he spoke with them, saying, “If it is your wish that I bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and meet with Ephron the son of Zohar for me,

A ka korero ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ki te whai ngakau koutou kia tanumia e ahau toku tupapaku kia ngaro atu i taku tirohanga, whakarongo mai ki ahau, ka tohe atu ki a Eperona, tama a Tohara, moku,

9 t hat he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he has, which is at the end of his field. Let him give it to me at the full price, as property for a burial place among you.”

Kia homai e ia ki ahau tana ana, a Makapera, i te pito o tona wahi oneone; kia homai e ia ki ahau i waenganui i a koutou mo nga moni e rite ana hei utu, kia puritia e ahau hei urupa.

10 N ow Ephron dwelt among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the presence of the sons of Heth, all who entered at the gate of his city, saying,

Na ko Eperona i roto i nga tama a Hete e noho ana: na ka whakahoki a Eperona Hiti ki a Aperahama, me te whakarongo ano nga tama a Hete, me nga tangata katoa hoki i tomo i te kuwaha o tona pa, ka mea,

11 “ No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field and the cave that is in it; I give it to you in the presence of the sons of my people. I give it to you. Bury your dead!”

Kahore, e toku ariki, whakarongo ki ahau: ka hoatu e ahau tena wahi ki a koe, me te ana i reira, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe; ka hoatu e ahau i te aroaro o nga tama o toku iwi: tanumia tou tupapaku.

12 T hen Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land;

Na ka tuohu a Aperahama i te aroaro o nga tangata whenua,

13 a nd he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “If you will give it, please hear me. I will give you money for the field; take it from me and I will bury my dead there.”

Ka korero ki a Eperona, me te whakarongo ano nga tangata whenua, ka mea, Erangi ki te homai e koe, whakarongo ki ahau: ka hoatu e ahau he hiriwa ki a koe mo taua wahi; tangohia, a ka tanumia e ahau toku tupapaku ki reira.

14 A nd Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

Na ko te whakahokinga a Eperona ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia,

15 “ My lord, listen to me; the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What is that between you and me? So bury your dead.”

E toku ariki, whakarongo mai ki ahau: he wahi whenua e wha rau nga hekere hiriwa tona utu, he aha tena i waenganui oku, ou? tanumia tou tupapaku.

16 A nd Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out the silver for Ephron which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, currency of the merchants.

Na ka whakarongo a Aperahama ki a Eperona; a paunatia ana e Aperahama ki a Eperona te hiriwa i korerotia e ia i te aroaro o nga tama a Hete, e wha rau nga hekere hiriwa, no nga moni e tangohia ana e nga kaihokohoko.

17 S o the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, which were within all the surrounding borders, were deeded

Na whakapumautia ana te wahi oneone o Eperona, i Makapera, i te ritenga o Mamere, te oneone, me te ana i reira, me nga rakau katoa i runga i te oneone, i roto i ona rohe katoa, a tawhio noa,

18 t o Abraham as a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

Hei wahi mo Aperahama, i te tirohanga a nga tama a Hete, i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa i tomo i te kuwaha o tona pa.

19 A nd 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.

A muri iho i tenei ka tanumia e Aperahama a Hara, tana wahine, ki roto ki te ana, i te wahi i Makapera i te ritenga o Mamere, ara o Heperona i te whenua o Kanaana.

20 S o the field and the cave that is in it were deeded to Abraham by the sons of Heth as property for a burial place.

Heoi whakapumautia ana e nga tama a Hete taua wahi me te ana i reira mo Aperahama, kia puritia hei tanumanga.
