OET (OET-LV) Listen_to_us my_master are_a_prince_of god you among_us in_the_choicest_of our_burial_sites_of_of bury DOM your_of_dead anyone from_him/it DOM site_of_his_burial not he_will_withhold from_you from_burying your_of_dead.

OET (OET-RV) “My master, listen to us. You’re a godly leader among us. Go ahead and bury your dead in the choicest of our burial places. We’ve all agreed not to prevent you from burying your dead in any of our cemeteries.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-politeness

שְׁמָעֵ֣⁠נוּ ׀ אֲדֹנִ֗⁠י

listen,to_us my=master

Abraham was not their actual lord or master. Rather, the Hittites are addressing him in a respectful manner. Also, for some languages it is more natural or respectful to put the form of address “My lord” or “Sir” first in this quote. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [Please listen to our proposal, my lord]

נְשִׂ֨יא אֱלֹהִ֤ים אַתָּה֙

prince_of ʼElohīm you(ms)

The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “You are a powerful/important leader/man” or (2) “You are a leader/man of/from God.” The interpretation that you do not follow in your translation could be put in a footnote.

בְּ⁠תוֹכֵ֔⁠נוּ

among,,us

Alternate translation: [who lives among our people]

קְבֹ֖ר

bury

Make sure that the reply of the Hittites sounds polite here in your translation. Alternate translation: [So you may put]

אֶת־מֵתֶ֑⁠ךָ

DOM your_of,dead

Alternate translation: [your dead wife]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

קְבָרֵ֔י⁠נוּ

our_burial_sites_of,of

For some languages it may be better to change the order of the phrases in this sentence and say, “So please choose any one of our best burial sites and bury/put your dead/deceased wife there.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [places to bury people who have died] or [tombs]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

אִ֣ישׁ מִמֶּ֔⁠נּוּ אֶת־קִבְר֛⁠וֹ לֹֽא־יִכְלֶ֥ה מִמְּ⁠ךָ֖ מִ⁠קְּבֹ֥ר

(a)_man from=him/it DOM site_of,his_burial not withhold from,you from,burying

Alternate translation: [Each of us is happy to give you some of his land where you can bury] or [All of us are happy for you to use any of our burial sites to bury]

אֶת־מֵתֶ֑⁠ךָ

DOM your_of,dead

Consider what is the best way in your language to refer to Sarah’s dead body here since it was just mentioned in the previous sentence. Alternate translation: [your dead wife]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

23:1-20 When Sarah . . . died, Abraham acquired a parcel of land for a burial place. This transaction was the first sign that a permanent transition had taken place, as people were normally buried in their ancestral homeland (cp. 49:29–50:13). In burying Sarah, Abraham detached from his just-mentioned ancestral home (where his relatives still lived, 22:20-24); his future would be in Canaan, where his descendants would realize the promise.
