< 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.
Nígbà náà ni Boasi gòkè lọ sí ẹnu ibodè ìlú, ó sì jókòó síbẹ̀. Nígbà tí ìbátan tí ó súnmọ́ Elimeleki jùlọ, arákùnrin tí Boasi ti sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ ń kọjá, Boasi pè é wí pé, “Máa bọ̀ wá síbí ìwọ ọ̀rẹ́ mi, kí o sì jókòó.” Ó sì lọ jókòó.
2 Then Boaz took ten of the elders of the city and said, “Sit here,” and they did so.
Boasi sì pe mẹ́wàá nínú àwọn àgbàgbà ìlú, wí pé ki wọn jókòó, wọn sí ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀,
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.
ó sì sọ fún ìbátan rẹ̀ náà pé, “Arábìnrin Naomi tí ó dé láti ilẹ̀ Moabu fẹ́ ta ilẹ̀, èyí tí ó ṣe ti arákùnrin Elimeleki wa.
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.
Mó sì rò wí pé ó yẹ kí n mú ọ̀rọ̀ náà wá sí etí ìgbọ́ rẹ, wí pé kí o rà á ní iwájú gbogbo àwọn tí ó jókòó sí ibi yìí. Bí ìwọ yóò bá rà á padà rà á. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ kò bá ní rà á padà, sọ fún mi, kí èmi ó le è mọ̀. Nítorí pé kò sí ẹlòmíràn tí ó ní ẹ̀tọ́ láti rà á ju ìwọ lọ, èmi sì ni ẹni tí ó tún kàn lẹ́yìn rẹ̀.” Ọkùnrin náà sì sọ wí pé, “Èmi yóò rà á padà.”
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.”
Nígbà náà ni Boasi sọ wí pé, “Bí ìwọ bá ti ra ilẹ̀ náà lọ́wọ́ Naomi àti lọ́wọ́ Rutu ará Moabu, ìwọ gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ opó ọkùnrin náà, kí orúkọ ọkùnrin tí ó kú náà má ba à parẹ́ pẹ̀lú ohun ìní rẹ̀ àti kí o le è bímọ ní orúkọ rẹ̀.”
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.”
Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà dáhùn sí èyí pé, “Nípa ti èyí, èmi kò le è rà á padà, nítorí pé, ọmọ rẹ̀, ọkùnrin yóò wá jẹ́ ajogún àwọn ohun ìní mi pẹ̀lú. Rà á fún ara rẹ, èmi kò le ṣe é.”
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.
Ní ayé ìgbàanì, kí a tó le sọ wí pé ohun ìràpadà tàbí pàṣípàrọ̀ ohun ìní fi ìdí múlẹ̀ ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli, ẹnìkan ni láti yọ bàtà rẹ̀ kúrò ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ kí ó sì fi fún ẹnìkejì, ó jẹ́ òfin fún ẹni tí ó fẹ́ rà á. Nípa ṣíṣe èyí, àwọn ará Israẹli fihàn wí pé ọ̀rọ̀ náà ti fìdímúlẹ̀.
8 So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”
Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà sọ fún Boasi wí pé, “Ìwọ rà á fúnra rẹ̀,” ó yọ bàtà rẹ̀ kúrò ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Boasi wí fún àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn mìíràn tí ó wà ní ibẹ̀ pé, “Gbogbo yín jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí mi ní òní wí pé mo ti ra ohun gbogbo tí í ṣe ti Elimeleki àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin méjèèjì: Maloni àti Kilioni lọ́wọ́ Naomi.
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.”
Ní àfikún, mo ra Rutu ará Moabu opó Maloni padà láti di aya mi. Èyí tí yóò mú kí orúkọ ọkùnrin òkú náà wà pẹ̀lú ohun ìní rẹ̀, kí ìran rẹ̀ má ba à lè parẹ́ láàrín àwọn ẹbí rẹ̀ àti ìlú rẹ̀. Ẹ̀yin ni ẹlẹ́rìí ní òní.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà ní ibẹ̀ dáhùn wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àwa ni ẹlẹ́rìí, kí Olúwa jẹ́ kí obìnrin tí ó ń bọ̀ wá sí inú ilẹ̀ rẹ dàbí Rakeli àti Lea láti ara àwọn ẹni tí gbogbo ìdílé Israẹli ti jáde wá. Kí ìwọ sì di ọlọ́rọ̀ ní ìran Efrata àti olókìkí ní ìlú Bẹtilẹhẹmu.
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.”
Kí Olúwa fún ọ ní ọmọ tí yóò mú ìdílé rẹ dàbí ti Peresi ọmọkùnrin tí Tamari bí fún Juda láti ipasẹ̀ ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin yìí.”
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.
Báyìí ni Boasi ṣe mú Rutu, tí ó sì di aya rẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni ó wọlé tọ aya rẹ̀, Olúwa sì mú kí ó lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọ ọkùnrin kan.
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.
Àwọn obìnrin sì wí fún Naomi pé, “Ìyìn ni fún Olúwa tí kò fi ọ sílẹ̀ ní òní yìí láìní ìbátan, Olùràpadà. Kí ọmọ náà di olókìkí ní Israẹli.
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.”
Yóò tún ayé rẹ ṣe, yóò sì dáàbò bò ọ́ ní ọjọ́ ogbó rẹ. Nítorí pé ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ, èyí tí ó sàn fún ọ ju ọmọkùnrin méje lọ, tí ó sì fẹ́ràn rẹ ni ó bí ọmọ yìí fún.”
16 And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a nurse to him.
Naomi sì gbé ọmọ náà lé orí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì ń tọ́jú rẹ̀.
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.
Àwọn obìnrin àdúgbò sì wí pé, “A bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún Naomi.” Wọ́n sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Obedi. Òun sì ni baba Jese tí í ṣe baba Dafidi.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,
Èyí ni ìran Peresi: Peresi ni baba Hesroni,
19 Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab,
Hesroni ni baba Ramu, Ramu ni baba Amminadabu
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon,
Amminadabu ni baba Nahiṣoni, Nahiṣoni ni baba Salmoni,
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed,
Salmoni ni baba Boasi, Boasi ni baba Obedi,
22 Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David.
Obedi ní baba Jese, Jese ni baba Dafidi.
