¹सारा एक सय सत्ताईस वर्षसम्म बाँचिन्।

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

²अनि कनान देशको किर्यतअर्बा (हेब्रोन) शहरमा मरिन्। अब्राहाम आफ्नी पत्नीको मृत्युमा दुःखी भए अनि उनको निम्ति रोए।

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.

³त्यसपछि अब्राहामले आफ्नी मरेकी स्वास्नीलाई छोडेर हित्ती मानिसहरूसित कुरा गर्न गए।

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

⁴उनले भने, “म यस प्रदेशको बासिन्दा होइन। यहाँ त म केवल यात्री हुँ यसर्थ मेरी पत्नीको लाश गाडनुको निम्ति कही जग्गा छैन, म अलिकति जग्गा चाहन्छु म त्यो लाश गाडन सकूँ।”

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.

⁵ती हित्ती मानिसहरूले अब्राहामलाई उत्तर दिए,

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

⁶“महाशय सुन्नु होस्, तपाईं हामीहरूमाझ परमेश्वरका एकजना मानिस हुनुहुन्छ यसर्थ हाम्रो चिहान घारीमा तपाईं जहाँ मन पराउनु हुन्छ त्यहाँ फिक्री नगरी आफ्नो पत्नीको लाश गाड्न सक्नु हुन्छ। तपाईंकी पत्नीको लाश गाडन यहाँ हामी मध्ये कसैले पनि बाधा दिन सक्तैनौ।”

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.

⁷अब्राहाम उठे अनि मानिसहरूको सामुन्ने शिर निहुराए।

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

⁸तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यदि तपाईंहरू साँच्चै मेरी पत्नीको लाश गाड्नको निस्ति सहायता गर्नु हुन्छ भने मेरो कुरा सुन्नु होस् र सोअरको छोरो एप्रोनसित मेरो निम्ति कुरा गरिदिनु होस्।

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,

⁹उसलाई भन्नु होस् उसको खेतको आखिरमा मक्पेलाको ओडार छ र उनले मलाई त्यो मेरो दाममा चिहान बनाउन दियोस्।”

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.

¹⁰एप्रोन तिनीहरू कै बीचमा थियो। उनले अब्राहामलाई उत्तर दियो।

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,

¹¹“होइन, महाशय। म तपाईंलाई जमीन दिनेछु। यी सब मानिसहरूकोअघि म तपाईंलाई ओडार दिनेछु जसको फलस्वरूप तपाईंले त्यस जग्गामा आफ्नी पत्नीको लाश गाड्न सक्नु हुन्छ।”

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.

¹²तब अब्राहामले हित्ती मानिसहरूको अघि शिर निहुराए।

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

¹³ती सबै मानिसहरूको सम्मुख अब्राहामले एप्रोनसित भने, “तर म त खेतको पुरै मोल दिन चाहन्छु। मैले दिएको दाम स्वीकार गर्नु होस्। म मेरा मर्नेहरूलाई त्यहाँ गाड्छु।”

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.

¹⁴एप्रोनले अब्राहामलाई उत्तर दियो,

¹⁴And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,

¹⁵“हे महाशय मेरो कुरा सुन्नु होस्। त्यस जग्गाको दाम त चार सय चाँदीको शेकेल हुन सक्छ जो तपाईं र मेरो निम्ति यो कुनै ठूलो कुरा होइन। तपाईंले आफ्नी पत्नीको मृत देह त्यहाँ गाड्नु होस्।”

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.

¹⁶अब्राहामले एप्रोनको कुरा माने अनि हित्ती मानिसहरूको सामुन्ने तिनले चार सय सिक्का चाँदी तौलीएर जमीनको धन्धा गर्ने व्यापारीको हातमा थमाई दिए।

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.

¹⁷[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

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

¹⁸[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

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

¹⁹तब अब्राहामले उनकी पत्नीको मृत शरीरलाई मक्पेलाको चउरमा कनान देशको हेब्रोन (मम्रे) को छेऊमा गुफामा गाडे।

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.

²⁰अब्राहामले त्यो जमीन र ओडार हित्ती मानिसहरूको अघि किने अनि त्यो तिनको कान्‌नी रूपले भयो अनि तिनले त्यो जमीन चिहान घारीको निम्ति प्रयोग गरे।

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.
