Ruth 4
1 Karon si Booz mitungas ngadto sa ganghaan, ug milingkod didto: ug, ania karon, ang duol nga kaubanan nga gihisgutan ni Booz milabay; kaniya siya miingon: Oh kana mao siya! hapit una, lingkod diri. Ug mihapit siya, ug milingkod.
[Meanwhile], Boaz went up to the town gate and sat there. [That was the place where people met together to decide important matters]. When the man that Boaz had mentioned came there, the close relative of Ruth and Naomi’s dead husbands [who had a responsibility to take care of Naomi and Ruth], Boaz said to him, “My friend, come over here and sit down.” So the man went and sat down.
2 Ug gikuha niya ang napulo ka tawo sa mga anciano sa ciudad, ug miingon: Panlingkod kamo dinhi. Ug sila nanlingkod.
Boaz then gathered ten of the elders of the town and asked them to sit down [there also]. After they sat down,
3 Ug miingon siya sa duol nga kaubanan: Si Noemi, ang nahibalik pag-usab gikan sa yuta sa Moab, nagabaligya sa bahin nga yuta nga iya kang Elimelech nga atong igsoon:
he said to the man who had the responsibility to take care of Naomi, “Naomi has returned from Moab [region]. She wants to sell the field that belonged to our relative Elimelech.
4 Ug ako naghunahuna sa pagpadayag niana kanimo, sa pag-ingon: Palita kana sa atubangan nila nga naglingkod dinhi, ug sa atubangan sa mga anciano sa akong katawohan. Kong imong lukaton kana, lukata; apan kong ikaw dili molukat niana, nan suginli ako, aron mahibaloan ko; kay walay laing makalukat niana gawas kanimo; ug ako sunod kanimo. Ug siya miingon: Akong lukaton kana.
I thought that I should tell you about that, and suggest that you buy it, while these elders who are sitting here are listening. If you are willing to buy the property, do that. But if you do not want to buy it, tell me, so that I will know. I am suggesting this to you because you are the one who has the first right to buy it, and I am the one who has the second/next right to buy it.” The man replied, “I will buy it!”
5 Unya miingon si Booz: Sa unsang adlawa nga paliton mo ang uma sa kamot ni Noemi, paliton mo usab ang kang Ruth, nga Moabihanon, ang asawa sa namatay, aron sa pagbangon sa ngalan sa namatay sa iyang panulondon:
Then Boaz told him, “When you buy the land from Naomi, you will also be taking Ruth, [the woman] who is from Moab, [to be your wife], in order that she may [give birth to a son who will] inherit the property of her dead husband [MTY].”
6 Ug ang haduol nga kaubanan miingon: Dili kana malukat nako sa akong kaugalingon, tingali hinoon mausik ang akong kaugalingon nga panulondon: kuhaon mo ang akong katungod sa paglukat pag-usab niana; kay ako dili makalukat niana.
Then the close relative [of Ruth’s dead husband] said, “[If that is so], I do not [want to] buy the field, because then my own [children] would not inherit the property; [Ruth’s children would inherit it]. You buy the property!”
7 Karon kini mao ang batasan sa unang panahon sa Israel mahitungod sa paglukat, ug mahitungod sa pag-ilis, aron sa pagmatuod sa tanang butang: ang usa ka tawo mokuha sa iyang sapin, ug ihatag sa iyang silingan; ug kini mao ang paagi sa pagpamatuod dinhi sa Israel.
At that time, it was the custom in Israel, when a person bought property that belonged to another person, that the man who was selling the property would take off one of his sandals and give it to the one who was buying the property. That was the way they finalized sales in Israel.
8 Busa ang duol nga kaubanan miingon kang Booz: Palita kana alang sa imong kaugalingon. Ug gikuha niya ang iyang sapin.
So that close relative said to Boaz, “You buy the field yourself!” And he took off [one of] his sandals [and gave it to Boaz].
9 Ug si Booz miingon sa mga anciano, ug sa tibook nga katawohan: Kamo mao ang mga saksi niining adlawa, nga gipalit ko ang tanan nga iya ni Elimelech, ug ang tanan nga iya ni Chelion ug ni Mahalon, gikan sa kamot ni Noemi.
Then Boaz said to the elders and all the [other] people [who were there], “Today you have all seen that I have bought from Naomi all the property that belonged to [her dead husband] Elimelech and [his dead sons] Mahlon and Chilion.
10 Labut pa si Ruth ang Moabihanon, ang asawa ni Mahalon, gipalit ko nga akong asawa, aron sa pagbangon sa ngalan sa namatay ibabaw sa iyang panulondon, aron ang ngalan sa namatay dili mawala sa iyang mga kaigsoonan, ug gikan sa ganghaan sa iyang dapit: kamo mao ang mga saksi niining adlawa.
I am also taking Ruth, [the woman] from Moab, Mahlon’s widow, to be my wife, in order that she may give birth to a son who will inherit the property of the dead man. In that way, Elimelech’s name will continue [LIT] among the members of his family and among all the people of this town. Today you all are witnesses [of what I have done].”
11 Ug ang tibook nga katawohan nga didto sa ganghaan, ug ang mga anciano, miingon: Kami mga saksi. Si Jehova maghimo sa babaye nga mahiadto sa imong balay sama kang Rachel ug sama kang Lea, nga ang maong duruha nagtukod sa balay sa Israel: ug mag-maadunahan ka sa Ephrata, ug magmabantugan sa Beth-lehem.
All the elders and the [others] who were sitting at the [town] gate [agreed, and one of them] said, “[Yes, ] we are witnesses. We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable this woman, who will be coming into your home, to give birth to many children, as Rachel and Leah did. They are the women from whom all [us] people [MTY] of Israel are descended. We hope that you will become rich in the clan of Ephratah, and become famous [MTY] [here] in Bethlehem.
12 Ug himoa nga ang imong balay mahisama sa balay ni Phares, nga gipanganak ni Thamar kang Juda, sa kaliwat nga igahatag ni Jehova kanimo niining babayehana.
We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable you and this young woman to have many descendants. And we hope/desire that your family will be as important as the family of your ancestor Perez, the son of Judah and Tamar.”
13 Busa gikuha ni Booz si Ruth, ug siya nahimo nga iyang asawa; ug siya mitipon paghigda kaniya, ug si Jehova mitugot kaniya sa pagpanamkon, ug siya nanganak ug usa ka anak nga lalake.
So Boaz took Ruth [home], and she became his wife. He (slept with/had sexual relations with) her [EUP] and Yahweh enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
14 Ug ang mga babaye miingon kang Noemi: Bulahan si Jehova, nga wala mobiya kanimo niining adlawa sa pagkawalay duol nga kaubanan; ug himoa ang iyang ngalan nga dungganon sa Israel.
The women [of Bethlehem] said to Naomi, “Praise Yahweh! Now he has given [LIT] you a grandson who will be the one who will have the responsibility to take care of you. We hope that he will become famous [MTY] throughout Israel.
15 Ug alang kanimo siya mahimong magbabag-o sa kinabuhi, ug maglilig-on kanimo sa imong pagkatigulang; kay gipanganak sa imong binalaye nga nahagugma kanimo, ang labi pang maayo kanimo kay sa pito ka mga anak nga lalake.
He will make you feel young again, and he will take care of you when you become old. Your daughter-in-law, who loves you, has given birth to a son, who will (be better to/do more for) you than [if you had] seven sons [of your own].”
16 Ug gikuha ni Noemi ang bata, ug gibutang sa iyang sabakan, ug siya nahimong iwa niini.
Then Naomi took the baby and put him on her lap, and took care of him.
17 Ug ang mga babaye nga iyang silingan minghatag niana ug usa ka ngalan nga ming-ingon: May usa ka anak nga natawo kang Noemi; ug ilang gitawag ang iyang ngalan nga si Obed: siya ang amahan ni Isai, ang amahan ni David.
The women who were living near her said, “[It is as though] Naomi [now] has a son!” And they named him Obed. [Later], Obed became the father of Jesse, and [later] Jesse became the father of [King] David.
18 Karon kini mao ang mga kagikanan ni Phares: si Phares nanganak kang Hesron,
Here is [a list of] the ancestors of [King David]: Perez’s son was Hezron. Hezron’s son was Ram. Ram’s son was Amminadab. Amminadab’s son was Nahshon. Nahshon’s son was Salmon. Salmon’s son was Boaz. Boaz’s son was Obed. Obed’s son was Jesse. Jesse’s son was [King] David.
19 Ug si Hesron nanganak kang Ram, ug si Ram nanganak kang Aminadab,
20 Ug si Aminadab nanganak kang Nahason, ug si Nahason nanganak kang Salmon,
21 Ug si Salmon nanganak kang Booz, ug si Booz nanganak kang Obed,
22 Ug si Obed nanganak kang Isai, ug si Isai nanganak kang David.
