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 down there. Soon, the near kinsman of whom Boaz had spoken came by. Boaz said to him, “My friend, come over and sit down here.” The man came over and sat down.
2 Chuin Boaz in khopi sunga lamkai som akou khom in athu hetoh dingin atousah in ahi.
Then Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city and said, “Sit down here.” So 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.
Boaz said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has returned from the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land that was our brother Elimelek'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.
I thought to inform you and say to you, 'Buy it in the presence of those who are sitting here, and in the presence of the elders of my people.' If you wish to redeem it, redeem it. But if you do not wish to redeem it, then tell me, so that I may know, for there is no one to redeem it besides you, and I am after you.” Then the other man 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 Boaz said, “On the day that you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also take Ruth the Moabite woman, the widow of a dead man, in order to raise up the name of the dead on 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.
Then the near kinsman said, “I cannot redeem it for myself without damaging my own inheritance. You take my right of redemption for yourself, 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 times in Israel concerning the redemption and exchange of goods. To confirm all things, a man took off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor; this was the manner of making legal agreements in Israel.
8 Hitichun ainsung kinaipipen pachun akengkoh chu asutlhan Boaz komma chun aseitai, “Nangin kilhat tan” ati.
So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” and he took off his sandal.
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.
Then Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today that I have bought all that was Elimelek's and all that was Kilion's and Mahlon's from 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.
Also Ruth the Moabite woman, the wife of Mahlon, I have acquired to be my wife, in order that I might raise up the name of the dead man on his inheritance, so that his name will not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. Today you are witnesses!”
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.
All the people who were in the gate and the elders said, “We are witnesses. May Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built up the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be renowned in Bethlehem.
12 “Chuleh Pakaijn hiche khangdong numeinu a kon hin i-puluiyu Judah leh Jamer chapa Perez tobang'in chilhah tamtah nape hen!” atiuve.
May your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, through the offspring that Yahweh will give you with 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. He slept with her, and Yahweh allowed her to become pregnant, and she bore 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.
The women said to Naomi, “May Yahweh be blessed, who has not left you today without a near kinsman, this baby. May 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.
May he be for you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.”
16 Hichun Naomi chun hiche naosen chu akipom in a-optoh asipbeh tan ahi. Aman ama cha mong mong bangin akidontan ahi.
Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and took care of him.
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.
The women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, who became the father of David.
18 Hichehi a-puluiyu Perez son achilhah hochu ahung hitaove, Perez hi Hezron pa ahung hin,
Now these were the descendants of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
19 Hezron hi Ram pa ahin, Ram hi Amminadab pa ahin,
Hezron became the father of Ram, Ram became the father of Amminadab,
20 Amminadab chu Nahshon pa ahin, Nahshon hi Salmon pa ahin,
Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
21 Salmon hi Boaz pa ahi, Boaz hi Obed pa ahin,
Salmon became the father of Boaz, Boaz became the father of Obed,
22 Obed hi Jesse pa ahin, chuleh Jesse hi David pa ahi.
Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
