< 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 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.
2 Then Boaz took ten of the elders of the city and said, “Sit here,” and they did so.
Chuin Boaz in khopi sunga lamkai som akou khom in athu hetoh dingin atousah in ahi.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
8 So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”
Hitichun ainsung kinaipipen pachun akengkoh chu asutlhan Boaz komma chun aseitai, “Nangin kilhat tan” ati.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.”
“Chuleh Pakaijn hiche khangdong numeinu a kon hin i-puluiyu Judah leh Jamer chapa Perez tobang'in chilhah tamtah nape hen!” atiuve.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
16 And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a nurse to him.
Hichun Naomi chun hiche naosen chu akipom in a-optoh asipbeh tan ahi. Aman ama cha mong mong bangin akidontan ahi.
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.
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.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,
Hichehi a-puluiyu Perez son achilhah hochu ahung hitaove, Perez hi Hezron pa ahung hin,
19 Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab,
Hezron hi Ram pa ahin, Ram hi Amminadab pa ahin,
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon,
Amminadab chu Nahshon pa ahin, Nahshon hi Salmon pa ahin,
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed,
Salmon hi Boaz pa ahi, Boaz hi Obed pa ahin,
22 Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David.
Obed hi Jesse pa ahin, chuleh Jesse hi David pa ahi.
