Ruth 4

1 Boaz chu khopi kelkot phunga achetouvin hikomma chun agatoutai. Hiche pettah chun insung kinai pipen ati pachu ahungin ahileh Boaz chun akouvin, “Golpa hungin lang hichea hin toutadin kasei nomkhat aumme,” atin ahi. Hichun amani chu atoukhom lhontan ahi.

Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.

2 Chuin Boaz in khopi sunga lamkai som akou khom in athu hetoh dingin atousah in ahi.

And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.

3 Hichun Boaz in insung kinaipi pen komma chun hiti hin aseitan ahi, “Moab gamma konna hung le hungkit Naomi chu nahen ahi. Amahin ikinaipi Elimelach gamchu ajoh in ahi.

And he said unto the near kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:

4 Keiman nakomma kaseinom chu ahileh hichehi nalhatnom leh kilhatnin kati ahi. Agamchu nadeileh hiche ahetoh mi hijat masanga hin kichoh jengin, ahinlah nangin nadeilouva ahileh tutun neihetsah jingin ajeh chu nangbanna alhat thei akinaipi chu kei kahi,” ati. Hichun mipa chun “Aphai keiman kilhat nange,” tin adonbut in ahi.

And I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

5 Hijouchun Boaz in ama komma chun hintin aseije; “Aphai Naomi gamchu nachoh dinga ahileh Moab meithai nu Ruth jonghi nakichenpi ding ahi, hitia chu amanun cha aneiteng ajipa min chu aputding insungmi hina a agamchu nanga hiding ahi,” ati.

Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

6 Akinaipi penpa chun ahin donbut in hitin aseipeh tai, “Chuti ding ahileh keima lhatjou ponge, ajeh chu hichun keima gam eisuhboi peh ding ahi, hijeh chun nangin kilhat tan,” ati tai.

And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot redeem it.

7 Tun hiche lai khanga chun Isrealte lah a chun che na daan khat anaum in mikhat touvin thil achoh nading athaneina chu mikhat komma apehdoh a ahileh akeng koh chu asutna ama pachu apehding ahi. Hitia chu mipi hetna kikhut lhehna chu kisudetji ahi.

Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, for to confirm all things; a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was the [manner of] attestation in Israel.

8 Hitichun ainsung kinaipipen pachun akengkoh chu asutlhan Boaz komma chun aseitai, “Nangin kilhat tan” ati.

So the near kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thyself. And he drew off his shoe.

9 Hichun Boaz in upa hole avella ding mipiho jah a chun “Tunia hi keiman Naomi khutna kon in Elimelech, Chilion le Mahlon neijouse aboncha kachoh ahitai.

And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi.

10 Chujongleh gam jouse puma hi Moab numei Ruth kitinu Mahlon meithainu jonghi kaji dinga kachan tha ahitai. Hitia chu amanun cha pasal ahinna, athisa ajipa insung minhi atundoh a, hiche achennao khopi sung ahi ainsung thil lelo jouse jonghi agouva kisim ding ahi. Nang hojouse hi tunia ahetoh nahi taove,” ati.

Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

11 Hichun upa holeh mipi kelkotna dingho jouse chun ahindonbut uvin, “Keiho ahetoh kahiuve, Pakaiyin hiche numei nainsung’a ahunglut hi Isreal nam hung kondoh na Rachel leh Leah toh bahsah hen! Nangjong Ephrathah bangin pung inlang Bethlehem naming thang tahen.” atiuvin ahi.

And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:

12 “Chuleh Pakaijn hiche khangdong numeinu a kon hin i-puluiyu Judah leh Jamer chapa Perez tobang'in chilhah tamtah nape hen!” atiuve.

and let thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.

13 Hichun Boaz in Ruth chu a in'ah akipuilut in hiti chun amanu chu amapa jinu ahung hitai. Aman amanu chu aluppin ahileh Pakaiyin nao ahin vop sah in, amanun chapa khat ahin hingtai.

So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.

14 Hichun khopi sunga numeiho chun Naomi kommah “Nainsung’a gam ngahding nahin tundoh peh a Pakai chu thangvah in umhen! Hiche chapanghi Isreal namsung’ah hung minthang hen.

And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman, and let his name be famous in Israel.

15 Amahin nakhangdong sah kit henlang chuleh nateh lang hinkho hi nahin vetsuipeh tahen. Ajeh chu amahi nahin ngailua namounu cha ahin chapa sagi nanei sanga phajo ahi,” atiuve.

And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.

16 Hichun Naomi chun hiche naosen chu akipom in a-optoh asipbeh tan ahi. Aman ama cha mong mong bangin akidontan ahi.

And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.

17 A-inheng numei hon, tun Naomi’n cha aneikit tai. Chuleh amahon amin chu Obed asah taove. Amahi Jesse pa ahung hin David pu ahung hitai.

And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

18 Hichehi a-puluiyu Perez son achilhah hochu ahung hitaove, Perez hi Hezron pa ahung hin,

Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Hezron;

19 Hezron hi Ram pa ahin, Ram hi Amminadab pa ahin,

and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab;

20 Amminadab chu Nahshon pa ahin, Nahshon hi Salmon pa ahin,

and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon;

21 Salmon hi Boaz pa ahi, Boaz hi Obed pa ahin,

and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed;

22 Obed hi Jesse pa ahin, chuleh Jesse hi David pa ahi.

and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
