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.
E thuolono Boaz nodhi e dhoranga dala mobet kanyo. Ka wat Ruth mahie mane owachocha ne kadho kanyo, Boaz noluonge kawacho niya, “Rawane ka, osiepna, kendo bed piny ka.” Omiyo ngʼatno nodhi ire mobet piny.
2 Then Boaz took ten of the elders of the city and said, “Sit here,” and they did so.
Boaz nokawo jodongo apar mag dala kendo nowachonegi niya, “Beduru ane ka,” mine gitimo kamano.
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.
Eka nowachone wat Ruth mahie niya, “Naomi ma yande odwogo koa Moab dwaro ngʼama ngʼiew puodho mane mar owadwa Elimelek.
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.
Ne aneno ni ber mondo aket wachni e nyimi kendo aket parono e nyim joma obedo kagi kendo e nyim jodongo mag jowa, mondo ingʼiewe. Ka inyalo ware to ware, to ka ok inyal timo kamano to nyisa mondo angʼe. Nikech onge ngʼama chielo man-gi ratiro mar timo kamano makmana in kende, kendo an ema aluwi.” Nowacho niya, “Abiro ngʼiewo puodhono.”
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.”
Eka Boaz nowacho niya, “E odiechiengʼ ma iningʼiewie puodhono kuom Naomi kendo kuom Ruth nyar Moab, ema inikawie chi ngʼat mothono, mondo ichung nying ngʼat mothono kaachiel gi mwandune.”
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.”
Kane wat dhakono owinjo wachno, nowacho niya, “Ka kamano to kare ok anyal ware nikech mano nyalo miyo akel chandruok ne mwanduna awuon. In ema mondo iware in iwuon. An ok anyal timo mano.”
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.
E kinde machon e piny Israel, mondo ne gimoro owar ma mi ngʼat machielo, ne chuno ni ngʼato achiel kuom jogo nyaka lony wuochene kendo omi ngʼat machielo, mano ne miyo winjruogno ok nyal loki. Mano e yo mane igurogo gimoro amora mane iwilo gi chik e piny Israel.
8 So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”
Kuom mano, wat dhakono nowachone Boaz niya, “In, ema mondo ingʼiewe.” Kendo nolonyo wuochene.
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.
Eka Boaz nolando ne jodongo gi ji duto kowacho niya, “Kawuono udoko joneno ka angʼiewo kuom Naomi mwandu duto mag Elimelek gi Kilion kod Malon.
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.”
Ruth nyar Moab, ma chi Malon, bende asekawo kaka chiega, mondo achung-go nying ngʼat motho gi mwandune, mondo nyinge kik lal e dier anywolane, kata e kitabu mondikie nying joma odak e dala-ka. Kawuononi udoko joneno!”
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.
Eka jodongo kaachiel gi ji duto mane ni e rangach nowacho niya, “Wan joneno. Mad Jehova Nyasaye mi dhako mabiro e dalani ochal gi Rael gi Lea, ma nochungo dhood Israel, kargi ji ariyo. Mad ibed ngʼat maduongʼ ei Efratha kendo ibed ngʼat marahuma ei Bethlehem.
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.”
Koa kuom nyithindo ma Jehova Nyasaye biro miyi kuom dhakoni ma pod tin-ni, mad odi bi chal gi mar Perez mane Tamar onywolo ne Juda.”
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.
Kuom mano Boaz nokawo Ruth mine odoko chiege. Bangʼe noriwore kode, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo omako ich, kendo nonywolo nyathi ma wuowi.
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.
Mon nowachone Naomi niya, “Opak Jehova Nyasaye kawuononi nikech ok osejwangʼi, nimar osemiyi nyakwari. Mad obed ngʼat marahuma e piny Israel duto!
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.”
Obiro duogo ngimani kendo obiro riti ndalo ma iti. Nikech chi wuodi moheri kendo maberni moloyo yawuowi abiriyo, ema osenywole.”
16 And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a nurse to him.
Eka Naomi nokawo nyathino mi noriwe e tiende, kendo ne orite.
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.
Mon mane odak kanyo nowacho niya, “Naomi nigi wuowi.” Kendo negichake ni Obed. En ema ne en wuon Jesse ma wuon Daudi.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,
Koro ma e anywola joka Perez: Perez ne en wuon Hezron,
19 Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab,
Hezron ne en wuon Ram, Ram ne en wuon Aminadab,
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon,
Aminadab ne en wuon Nashon, Nashon ne en wuon Salmon,
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed,
Salmon ne en wuon Boaz, Boaz ne en wuon Obed,
22 Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David.
Obed ne en wuon Jesse, to Jesse ne en wuon Daudi.
