Ruth 4
1 Hatnavah, Boaz teh khopui longkha koe a cei teh a tahung. Paduem a dei e pacanaw ni a cei e a hmu navah, a kamlang teh, api nang maw, tahung leih atipouh e patetlah a kamlang teh a tahung.
And Booz went up to the gate, and sat there; and behold, the relative passed by, of whom Booz spoke: and Booz said to him, Turn aside, sit down here, such a one: and he turned aside and sat down.
2 Hahoi, khopui thung e kacuenaw tami hra touh a kaw teh, hi tahung atipouh e patetlah a tahung.
And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye here; and they sat down.
3 A pacanaw ni hai Moab kho hoi ka tho e Naomi ni maimae hmau, Elimelek e talai a yo han dawkvah,
And Booz said to the relative, [The matter regards] the portion of the field which was our brother Elimelech's which was given to Noemin, now returning out of the land of Moab;
4 nang na thai sak. Khocanaw, kaimae pacanaw dawk hoi kacuenaw e hmalah ran leih telah dei hanlah pouknae ka tawn. Nang ni ratang na ngai pawiteh ratang leih. Na ratang ngai hoehpawiteh kai koe bout dei lawih. Kai laipalah alouke ka ratang thai e awm hoeh. Nange na hnukkhu lah kai ka o atipouh navah paca ni kai ni ka ratang han telah ati.
and I said, I will inform thee, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if thou wilt redeem it, redeem it, but if thou wilt not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside thee to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after thee: and he said, I am [here], I will redeem it.
5 Boaz ni hai hote laikawk hah Naomi koe rannae hnin navah kadout e râw lahoi a minhmai khet hanelah a yu Moab napui Ruth hah a ran sin telah ati navah,
And Booz said, In the day of thy buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, thou must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
6 A paca ni kai ni kama hanlah ka ratang thai mahoeh. Ka ratang pawiteh ka râw raphoe e lah ao han ti a lakueng. Kai ni ka ratang hoeh toung dawkvah kaie ratangthainae hah, nama hanlah ratang lawih telah atipouh.
And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do thou redeem my right for thyself, for I shall not be able to redeem [it].
7 Isarelnaw e singyoe patetlah ratangnae, hno kâthung e a kangning thai nahanlah buet touh ni amae khokkhawm a rading vaiteh buet touh koe ouk a hnawng. Hottelah, sak e lahoi, Isarel miphunnaw koe panuekhainae teh acak.
And this [was] in former time the ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour that redeemed his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.
8 Hatdawkvah, a paca ni, ma hanelah ran leih telah Boaz koe a dei pouh e patetlah Boaz ni amae khokkhawm teh a rading.
And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy my right for thyself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.
9 Boaz ni hai Elimelek e hno, Khilion e hno hoi Mahlon e hnonaw pueng Naomi kut dawk e ka ran teh,
And Booz said to the elders and to all the people, Ye [are] this day witnesses, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that belonged to Chelaion and Maalon, of the hand of Noemin.
10 Kadout e min hah ahnie hmaunawngha thung hoi thoseh, a onae khopui longkha koehoi thoseh ahnie râw lahoi a min pâpout hoeh nahanelah, Mahlon e a yu Moab napui Ruth heh ka yu lah ao thai nahan, ka ran tie hah nangmanaw teh sahnin kapanuekkhaikung lah na o awh.
Moreover I have bought for myself for a wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Maalon, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance; so the name of the dead shall not be destroyed from among his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: ye [are] this day witnesses.
11 Longkha koe kaawm e kacuenaw, taminaw pueng ni kapanuekkhaikung lah ao awh. Na im ka tho e napui ni Isarel miphun kangdout sak e napui kahni touh teh kaimouh koe, Rachel hoi Leah patetlah ao nahan, BAWIPA ni sak lawiseh. Nang hai Epharath kho dawk thao thasainae hoi na kawi vaiteh, Bethlehem khopui dawk min kamthang lawiseh,
And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make thy wife who goes into thy house, as Rachel and as Lia, who both [together] built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephratha, and there shall be a name [to thee] in Bethleem.
12 Karoung takhang e hete napui koe, Cathut ni a poe hane cati lahoi, nange catounnaw teh, Judah e a yu Tamar ni a khe e Parez catoun patetlah awm naseh telah a dei awh.
And let thy house be as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore to Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this handmaid.
13 Boaz ni Ruth a paluen teh, a okhai navah Cathut lungmanae lahoi ca a von teh ca tongpa a khe.
And Booz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her; and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.
14 Napuinaw ni hai Naomi koevah nang na khenyawn hanelah na miphun ka cettakhai hoeh e Cathut yawhawinae awmseh. Atu na khe e na miphun heh Isarel miphun dawk kamthangnae awm lawiseh,
And the woman said to Noemin, Blessed [is] the Lord, who has not suffered a redeemer to fail thee this day, even to make thy name famous in Israel.
15 Ahni teh na hringnae ka khenyawn e tami, na matawng navah na ka kawk e tami lah awmseh. Nang lung na ka pataw e tawngpa sari touh hlak hai hoe kahawi e na langa ni ca tongpa a khe toe atipouh awh.
And he shall be to thee a restorer of thy soul, and one to cherish thy old age; for thy daughter-in-law which has loved thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, has born him.
16 Naomi ni camo hah a la teh, a tawm teh a okhai
And Noemin took the child and laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.
17 Imri e napuinaw ni hai Naomi ni a ca tongpa a khe ati awh teh, hote camo teh Obed telah min a phung awh. Obed capa Jesi, Jesi capa Devit.
And the neighbours gave it a name, saying, A son has been born to Noemin; and they called his name Obed; this [is] the father of Jessae the father of David.
18 Perez e catounnaw teh: Perez capa Hezron,
And these [are] the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esrom:
19 Hezron capa Ram, Ram capa Amminadab,
Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.
20 Amminadab capa Nahshon, Nahshon capa Salmon,
And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.
21 Salmon capa Boaz, Boaz capa Obed,
And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.
22 Obed capa Jesi, Jesi capa Devit lah ao.
And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.
