¹And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.

¹¶ A kotahi rau e rua tekau ma whitu nga tau i ora ai a Hara: ko nga tau enei i ora ai a Hara.

²And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

²Na 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.

³And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,

³¶ A ka whakatika a Aperahama i te ritenga atu o tona tupapaku, ka korero ki nga tama a Hete, ka mea,

⁴I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.

⁴He 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.

⁵And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,

⁵Na ka whakahoki nga tama a Hete ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia,

⁶Hear 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.

⁶Whakarongo 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.

⁷And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.

⁷Na ka whakatika a Aperahama, ka piko ki te tangata whenua, ki nga tama a Hete.

⁸And he communed 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,

⁸A 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,

⁹That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.

⁹Kia 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.

¹⁰And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,

¹⁰Na 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,

¹¹Nay, 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.

¹¹Kahore, 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.

¹²And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.

¹²Na ka tuohu a Aperahama i te aroaro o nga tangata whenua,

¹³And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.

¹³Ka 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.

¹⁴And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,

¹⁴Na ko te whakahokinga a Eperona ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia,

¹⁵My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.

¹⁵E 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.

¹⁶And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.

¹⁶¶ 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.

¹⁷And 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 borders round about, were made sure

¹⁷Na 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,

¹⁸Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.

¹⁸Hei 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.

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.

¹⁹A 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.

²⁰And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.

²⁰Heoi whakapumautia ana e nga tama a Hete taua wahi me te ana i reira mo Aperahama, kia puritia hei tanumanga.
