Ruth 4
1 Meanwhile, Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the kinsman-redeemer of whom he had spoken came along, and Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.
Boaz te vongka la cet tih ngol. Te vaengah aka tlan koi la a thui hlang te ha pawk tih Boaz loh, “Tongmang hela pah lamtah ngol dae lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah phael tih ngol thuk.
2 Then Boaz took ten of the elders of the city and said, “Sit here,” and they did so.
Te phoeiah khopuei kah a hamca rhoek te hlang parha a loh tih, “Hela ngol uh dae,” a ti nah vanbangla amih khaw ngol uh.
3 And he said to the kinsman-redeemer, “Naomi, who has returned from the land of Moab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech.
Te vaengah aka tlan koi taengah, “Mamih kah manuca Elimelekh khohmuen kah lo aka yoi Noami tah Moab kho lamkah ha bal coeng.
4 I thought I should inform you that you may buy it back in the presence of those seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you want to redeem it, do so. But if you will not redeem it, tell me so I may know, because there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you.” “I will redeem it,” he replied.
Te dongah kai long tah namah hna ah kan yaak sak dae eh ka ti vanbangla hekah aka ngol rhoek hmai neh ka pilnam khuikah a hamca rhoek hmaiah koep lai laeh ka ti. Na tlan ham atah tlan laeh. Tedae na tlan pawt oeh atah kamah taengah he thui. Te daengah ni nang phoeiah aka tlan ham hlang a om pawt te ka ming khaw ka ming van eh. Tedae kai tah nang hnukkah pueng ni,” a ti nah vaengah, “Kamah loh ka tlan ni,” a ti.
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi and also from Ruth the Moabitess, you must also acquire the widow of the deceased in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance.”
Te vaengah Boaz loh, “Naomi neh aka duek kah a yuu Moab nu Ruth kut lamkah khohmuen na lai khohnin vaengah aka duek ming te thoh pah ham ni a rho khaw na lai eh?,” a ti nah.
6 The kinsman-redeemer replied, “I cannot redeem it myself, or I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption, because I cannot redeem it.”
Tedae aka tlan loh, “Kamah loh ka tlan ham akhaw a tlan ham ka noeng moenih. Ka rho he ka porhak sak ve. Namah ham na tlan mako. Ka tlannah neh tlan ham ka noeng moenih,” a ti nah.
7 Now in former times in Israel, concerning the redemption or exchange of property, to make any matter legally binding a man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party, and this was a confirmation in Israel.
Hlamat vaengah tah Israel khuikah tlannah ham neh hnothung ham ol khat khat neh ana khueng thiluh. Te vaengah hlang pakhat loh a khokhom a dul tih a hui taengla a paek te Israel khuikah ciphuemyuhnah coeng ni.
8 So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”
Te dongah aka tlan tueng loh Boaz taengah, “Namah ham lai laeh,” a ti nah tih a khokhom te a dul.
9 At this, Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses today that I am buying from Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech, Chilion, and Mahlon.
Te dongah a hamca rhoek taeng neh pilnam boeih taengah Boaz loh, “Elimelekh kah a koe boeih khaw, Kilion neh Mahlon koe boeih khaw Naomi kut lamkah ka lai coeng tila tihnin ah laipai la na om uh coeng.
10 Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased through his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his brothers or from the gate of his home. You are witnesses today.”
Te dongah amah koe neh aka duek ming thoh pah ham ni Mahlon yurho, Moab nu Ruth khaw ka yuu la ka lai coeng. Te phoeiah aka duek kah a ming te a pacaboeina khui lamkah neh te hmuen vongka lamloh a muei pawt ham khaw tihnin ah laipai la na om uh coeng,” a ti nah.
11 “We are witnesses,” said the elders and all the people at the gate. “May the LORD make the woman entering your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you be prosperous in Ephrathah and famous in Bethlehem.
Te vaengah vongka kah pilnam boeih neh a hamca rhoek loh, “Laipai la ka om uh coeng. Na im khuila aka kun huta tah, BOEIPA loh Israel imkhui aka thoh rhoi Rakhel neh Leah bangla khueh saeh. Epharath ah thadueng la om saeh lamtah Bethlehem ah a ming om saeh.
12 And may your house become like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring the LORD will give you by this young woman.”
Hekah hula dongah BOEIPA loh nang m'paek na tii na ngan lamloh na imkhui khaw Tamar loh Judah ham a sak Perez imkhui bangla om saeh,” a ti nauh.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And when he had relations with her, the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.
Boaz loh Ruth te a loh tih a yuu la coeng. Ruth taengla a kun vaengah rhumpum ham khaw BOEIPA loh a paek coeng dongah capa a cun.
14 Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a kinsman-redeemer. May his name become famous in Israel.
Te vaengah Naomi te huta rhoek loh, “Tihnin ah nang aka tlan ham te aka pat sak pawh BOEIPA te a yoethen pai saeh. A ming khaw Israel lakli ah thang pai saeh.
15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”
Nang hamla na hinglu aka hlawt tih na sampok vaengah aka cangbam la om ni. Na langa loh nang n'lungnah tih anih a sak coeng. Anih pakhat he nang ham tah ca tongpa parhih lakah khaw then coeng,” a ti nauh.
16 And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a nurse to him.
Camoe te Naomi loh a loh tih a rhang dongah a poem. Te dongah anih te camoe aka poeh la om.
17 The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Imben rhoek long khaw, “Naomi ham ca tongpa om coeng,” a ti uh camoe te a ming a sak pauh. Te dongah a ming te Obed a sak pauh. Anih tah Jesse napa tih, Jesse tah David napa la om.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,
Te dongah Perez a rhuirhong rhoek la Perez loh Khetsron a sak.
19 Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab,
Khetsron loh Ram a sak tih Ram loh Amminadab a sak.
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon,
Amminadab loh Nahshon a sak tih Nahshon loh Salmon a sak.
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed,
Salmon loh Boaz a sak tih Boaz loh Obed a sak.
22 Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David.
Obed loh Jesse a sak tih Jesse loh David a sak.
