Ludi 4
1 Boua: se e sia: sa: imusa: gilisibi sogebi amoga asili amola logo gadenene amogai esalu. Amogai esaloba amola Ilimelege ea gadenene fi dunu (bu bidi lasu fi dunu ilia da sia: su - da: i sia: da ‘kinsman-redeemer) amo mafiadalebe ba: i. Amola Boua: se ea e wele sia: i, “Na na: iyado! Di fila misa. Na da sia: fonobahadi sia: mu gala.” Amalalu, e da misini fi.
And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated.
2 Amanoba, Boua: se e bu bidi lasu dunu amo e da musa: sia: i ema amane sia: i, “Di gui fila misa.” Amanoba, e da misini bulagi.
Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats.
3 Amalalu, Boua: se da moilai ouligisu dunu nabuane lale, Ilimelege ea bu bidi lasu fi dunu ema amane sia: i, “Na: ioumi da waha Moua: be soge yolesili, misi dagoi. E da ania sosogo fi dunu Ilimelege amo ea soge bidi lamu hanai galebe.
Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's:
4 Amaiba: le, na dima sia: be goea, be di hanai galea, goe soge di lama. Fada: i dunu nabuane agoane ilia dia sia: nabima: ne sia: ma. Be higa: i galea amo higa: i fawane sia: ma. Bai di da hanai galea, di da lamu defele gala. Be dia higasea, na da lamu defele gala.” Ilimelege ea bu bidi lasu fi dunu e da amane sia: i, “Na da lamu!”
And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.
5 Boua: se e amane sia: i;, “Defeadafa! Be dia Na: ioumi ea soge lasea, di da Ludi (Moua: be uda didalo) amola bidiga lasa. Amasea, amo soge da bogoi ea sosogo fi amo ganodini dialumu.
Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.
6 Amanoba, bu bidi lasu fi dunu da amane sia: i, “Amai galea, na amola soge agoe bidiga lamu, be amo da agoane, na mano ilia soge hame galumu. Amaiba: le dia lama. Be Na da bu hame lamu.”
And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation's part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.
7 Amo esoha ilia da hou agoane hamosu. Isala: ili ilia sia: sa: imusa: o bu afadenemusa: ilia amola da hou agoane hamosu. Dunu afae da ea emo salasu gisa: le, dunu eno igili iasu. Amo hou da Isala: ili fi dunu ilia hou. Ilia da bidi lasu hou ilegema: ne agoane hamosu.
Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.
8 Amabeba: le, amola Ilimilege ea bu bidi lasu fi dunu da Boua: se ema amane sia: i, “Di bidiga lama!” E da ea emo salasu gisa: le amola Boua: sema i.
So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.
9 Amalalu, Boua: se e dunu fada: i ilima amola oda esalebe dunu ilima amane adoi, “Dilia huluane ba: ma! Amola waha da na Na: ioumi ea soge amo Ilimelege amola ea mano Gilione amola Malone ilia soge, amo na bidiga lai dagoi.
Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.
10 Amola na da sia: fonobahadi sia: mu gala. Na agoane dawa: Ludi e da na uda esalumu da defea. Ludi amo uda da Moua: be dunu fi amola Malone ea lai galu, be Malone e bogobeba: le yolesi. Na da Ludi lamu hanai galebe, amola Malone ea sosogo fi da ea soge gaguiwane dialumu. Amola egaga fi da ea fidafa amola ea moilaidafa amo ganodini fifi lamu. Amola amo hou hahamoi amo dili huluane ba: i ama.
And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day.
11 Dunu huluane ilia amane sia: i, “Defea! Amo ilegele hou ninia da ba: i dagoi.” Amola fada: i dunu huluane da amane sia: i, “Goe uda waha dia diasu ganodini misi, amo da Hina Gode amo Hi fawane da La: isele amola Lia elea esoa: fi Isala: ili fi ganodini hamoi defele ema hamomu. Ela da Ya: igobema mano bagohame lai. Ludi da ela defele hamomu da defea. Amola difawane da liligi bagade gagui agoane hamoma. Efala: de fi amo ganodini amola di da Bedeleheme moilai fi ganodini fada: i dunu agoane esaloma.
And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;
12 Amola dia sosogo fi da bagadewane heda: mu da defea. Di da amo a: fini didalo lasea, Hina Gode da alima mano bagohame imunu da defea. Amasea, dia sosogo fi da Yuda amola Da: ima elea mano Bilese amo ea sosogo fi hamoi amo defele ba: mu.
May your family be like the family of Perez, the son whom Tamar gave to Judah, from the offspring which the Lord may give you by this young woman.
13 Amanoba Boua: se ea Ludi lale, ea diasuga oule asi. Be Hina Gode da ema hahawane dogolegele amola asigili hamobeba: le, e abula agui ba: i amola dunu mano lalelegei.
So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.
14 Uda ilia da misini, Na: ioumima amane sia: i, “Hahawane Hina Godema nodoma! E da waha dia aowa lalelegei amo da di ouligima: ne. Amola amo mano da Isala: ili fi amo ganodini gasa bagade esaluma: mu.
And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.
15 Disoa: ea amola da dima asigisa amola ea dima fidisu hou da dunu mano fesuale gala ilia fidisu hou baligi dagoi. Amola e da wali dima aowa i dagoi. Amo da dia da: i hamobe amo ganodini e da di noga: le ouligimu.”
He will be a giver of new life to you, and your comforter when you are old, for your daughter-in-law, who, in her love for you, is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.
16 Na: ioumi ea mano amo seba: le, amola noga: le fofoi.
And Naomi took the child and put her arms round it, and she took care of it.
17 Amola uda gadenene fi misini, mano ea dio Oubede asuli. Ilia dunu huluane ilima adoi, “Na: ioumi e da dunu mano lalelegei dagoi!” Amola Oubede da asigilale amola mano ea dio amo Yesi lai. Yesi da Da: ibidi lalelegei.
And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Goe da Bilese ea sosogo fi asili Da: ibidima doaga: i hou. Bilese amo da Heselone ea ada, Heselone e da Lame ea ada, Lame da A: minada: be ea ada, A:minada: be e da Nasone ea ada, Nasone da Sa: lamone ea ada, Sa: lamone da Boua: se ea ada, Oubede da Yesi ea ada, amola Yesi e da Da: ibidi ea ada. Amo fi da amane fifi misi goa. Sia: ama dagoi
Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;
And Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab;
And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;
And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;
And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
