Ruth 4
1 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.
Awo Bowaazi n’ayambuka ku wankaaki w’ekibuga n’atuula awo. Mu kiseera kye kimu, muganda we oli gwe yayogerako ngali ne Luusi, yali ayitawo. Bowaazi n’amuyita namugamba nti, “Jjangu otuuleko wano munnange.” Naye n’akkiriza, n’agenda n’atuula we yali.
2 And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you here; and they sat down.
Bowaazi n’ayita n’abasajja kkumi ku bakadde b’ekibuga ne bajja ne batuula awo.
3 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;
N’alyoka agamba muganda we nti, “Nawomi, eyakomyewo okuva mu Mowaabu, atunda ekibanja ekyali ekya muganda waffe omugenzi Erimereki.
4 and I said, I will inform you, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if you will redeem it, redeem it, but if you will not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside you to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after you: and he said, I am [here], I will redeem it.
Ndowoozezza nti nkutegeeze ku nsonga eyo, ekibanja ekyo okigulire mu maaso g’abakadde baffe. Bw’oba ng’oyagala okukinunula kinunule. Naye bw’oba nga toyagala, ntegeeza nkimanye. Tewali mulala alina buyinza kukinunula wabula ggwe, ate nga nze nkuddirira mu lunyiriri lwaffe.” Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Nzija kukinunula.”
5 And Booz said, In the day of your buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, you must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
Awo Bowaazi n’amugamba nti, “Olunaku lw’oligula ekibanja ekyo ku Nawomi, ne Luusi Omumowaabu, nnamwandu naye olimutwala, erinnya lye yafa n’olikuuma n’ebintu bye n’obirabirira.”
6 And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do you redeem my right for yourself, for I shall not be able to redeem [it].
Amangwago, omusajja n’addamu nti, “Nze sisobola kukinunula kubanga nnyinza okwonoona obusika bwange. Noolwekyo gwe kinunule.”
7 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.
(Edda mu Isirayiri, empisa ey’okununula n’okuwaanyisa, yali nga bw’eti: omuntu omu yaggyangamu engatto ye, n’agiwa munne. Eno ye yali ng’enkola entuufu mu Isirayiri).
8 And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy my right for yourself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.
Awo omusajja n’agamba nti, “Kyegulire.” Amangwago Bowaazi n’aggyamu engatto ye.
9 And Booz said to the elders and to all the people, You [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.
Bowaazi n’alangirira eri abakadde n’abantu bonna nti, “Olwa leero, nguze ku Nawomi ebintu byonna ebya Erimereki, n’ebya Kiriyoni n’ebya Maloni, era mmwe muli bajulirwa.
10 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 amongst his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: you [are] this day witnesses.
Era ne Luusi Omumowaabu, nnamwandu wa Maloni, naye mututte okuba mukazi wange, okusobola okukuuma erinnya ly’omugenzi Erimereki n’ebintu bye, erinnya lye lireme okufiira awo ate n’okugibwa ne ligibwa mu bitabo bye byafaayo eby’ekibuga. Mmwe bajulirwa!”
11 And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make your wife who goes into your 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 you] in Bethleem.
Awo abakadde n’abantu bonna abaali ku wankaaki ne boogera nti, “Tuli bajulirwa. Mukama Katonda amufaananye nga Laakeeri ne Leeya, abaazimbira awamu ennyumba ya Isirayiri. Naawe Bowaazi oyale mu Efulasi, era oyatiikirire mu Besirekemu,
12 And let your house be as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore to Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give you of this handmaid.
era n’ezzadde Mukama Katonda ly’anaakuwa mu mukazi oyo, libeere ng’ennyumba ya Pereezi, Tamali gwe yazaalira Yuda.”
13 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.
Awo Bowaazi n’awasa Luusi okuba mukazi we, n’ayingira gy’ali, n’aba olubuto, Mukama Katonda n’amusobozesa okuzaala omwana owoobulenzi.
14 And the woman said to Noemin, Blessed [is] the Lord, who has not suffered a redeemer to fail you this day, even to make your name famous in Israel.
Abakyala ne bagamba Nawomi nti, “Mukama Katonda yeebazibwe, oyo atakulese nga tolina mununuzi olunaku lwa leero. Era erinnya ly’omwana lyatiikirire mu Isirayiri yonna!
15 And he shall be to you a restorer of your soul, and one to cherish your old age; for your daughter-in-law which has loved you, who is better to you than seven sons, has born him.
Kubanga muka mwana wo akwagala, alizza obuggya obulamu bwo n’akuwanirira mu bukadde bwo; era akusingira abaana omusanvu, be yandizadde.”
16 And Noemin took the child and laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.
Awo Nawomi n’atwala omwana, n’amuwambaatira mu kifuba kye, n’amulabirira.
17 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.
Abakyala ab’oku muliraano ne bagamba nti, “Ewa Nawomi ezaaliddwayo omwana.” Ne bamutuuma erinnya Obedi, oyo ye kitaawe wa Yese, era jjajja wa Dawudi.
18 And these [are] the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esrom:
Luno lwe lunyiriri lwa Pereezi: Pereezi yali kitaawe wa Kezulooni,
19 Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.
Kezulooni yali kitaawe wa Laamu, Laamu n’aba kitaawe wa Amminadaabu.
20 And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.
Amminadaabu yali kitaawe wa Nakusoni, Nakusoni nga ye kitaawe wa Salumooni;
21 And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.
Salumooni yali kitaawe wa Bowaazi, Bowaazi n’aba kitaawe wa Obedi;
22 And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.
Obedi yali kitaawe wa Yese, Yese n’aba kitaawe wa Dawudi.
