< Ruth 4 >

1 And Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. And behold, he that had the right of redemption, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by. And he said, Thou, such a one, turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside 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 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And they sat down.
Chuin Boaz in khopi sunga lamkai som akou khom in athu hetoh dingin atousah in ahi.
3 And he said to him that had the right of redemption: Naomi, who is come back out of the country of Moab, sells the allotment that was our brother Elimelech's.
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 And I thought I would apprise thee of it and say, Buy [it] in the presence of the inhabitants, and in the presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem [it], redeem; but if thou wilt not redeem, tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem [it].
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 And Boaz said, On the day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon 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 And he that had the right of redemption said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance. Redeem thou for thyself what I should redeem, for 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 this [was the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redemption and concerning exchange, to confirm the whole matter: a man drew off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour, and this was the [mode of] attestation 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 And he that had the right of redemption said to Boaz, Buy for thyself; and he drew off his sandal.
Hitichun ainsung kinaipipen pachun akengkoh chu asutlhan Boaz komma chun aseitai, “Nangin kilhat tan” ati.
9 And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi;
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 Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
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 And all the people that were in the gate and the elders said, [We are] witnesses. Jehovah make the woman that cometh into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel; and acquire power in Ephratah, and make thyself a name 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 let thy house become like the house of Pherez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give thee of 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 And Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bore 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 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah who hath not left thee this day without one that has the right of redemption, and may his name be 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 And he shall be to thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age; for thy daughter-in-law who loves thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, has borne him.
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, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
Hichun Naomi chun hiche naosen chu akipom in a-optoh asipbeh tan ahi. Aman ama cha mong mong bangin akidontan ahi.
17 And the women [her] neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi. And they called his name Obed. He is 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 Pherez. Pherez begot Hezron,
Hichehi a-puluiyu Perez son achilhah hochu ahung hitaove, Perez hi Hezron pa ahung hin,
19 and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,
Hezron hi Ram pa ahin, Ram hi Amminadab pa ahin,
20 and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
Amminadab chu Nahshon pa ahin, Nahshon hi Salmon pa ahin,
21 and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
Salmon hi Boaz pa ahi, Boaz hi Obed pa ahin,
22 and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
Obed hi Jesse pa ahin, chuleh Jesse hi David pa ahi.
