¹सारा एक सय सत्ताईस वर्षसम्म बाँचिन्।

¹And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years: [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 Kirjath-Arba: that 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 rose up from before his dead, and spoke to 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 sepulchre with you, that I may bury my dead from before me.

⁵ती हित्ती मानिसहरूले अब्राहामलाई उत्तर दिए,

⁵And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to 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 prince of God among us: in the choicest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre for burying thy dead.

⁷अब्राहाम उठे अनि मानिसहरूको सामुन्ने शिर निहुराए।

⁷And Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons 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 spoke to them, saying, If it be your will that I should bury my dead from before me, hear me, and entreat for me 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 is his, which is at the end of his field; for the full money let him give it to me amongst you for a possession of a sepulchre.

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

¹⁰And Ephron was dwelling among the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham, in the ears of the sons 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।”

¹¹No, my lord: hear me. The field give I thee; and the cave that is in it, to thee I give it; before the eyes of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.

¹²तब अब्राहामले हित्ती मानिसहरूको अघि शिर निहुराए।

¹²And Abraham bowed down 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 spoke to Ephron, in the ears of the people of the land, saying, But if only thou wouldst listen to me, I give the money for the field: take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead there.

¹⁴एप्रोनले अब्राहामलाई उत्तर दियो,

¹⁴And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to 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 to me. A field of four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between 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 to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the money that he had named in the ears of the sons of Heth -- four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant.

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

¹⁷So the field of Ephron, which was at Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all its borders round about,

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

¹⁸were assured to Abraham for a possession before the eyes of the sons of Heth, before all who 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 at Machpelah, opposite to Mamre: that 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 was in it were assured to Abraham for a possession of a sepulchre by the sons of Heth.
