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.
Alò Boaz te monte nan pòtay la e te chita la. Konsa, fanmi pwòch a sila Boaz te pale a t ap pase. Epi li te di: “Vire akote, zanmi m; vin chita la!” Epi li te vire akote e te chita.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And they sat down.
Li te pran dizòm nan ansyen lavil yo, epi te di: “Vin chita isit la.” Konsa, yo te vin chita.
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.
Epi li te di a fanmi pwòch la: “Naomi, ki te vin retounen soti nan peyi Moab la, ap oblije vann mòso tè ki te pou frè nou an, Élimélec.
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].
Konsa, mwen te vle fè ou konnen, epi di: “Achte li devan sila ki chita yo ak devan ansyen pèp mwen yo. Si ou va peye ranson li, peye ranson li; men si ou p ap fè sa, fè m konnen; paske nanpwen pèsòn ke ou menm pou peye ranson li, e se mwen aprè ou.” Konsa li te di: “Mwen va peye ranson li.”
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.
Epi Boaz te di: “Nan jou ke ou achte chan an nan men Naomi a, fòk osi ou pran Ruth, Moabit la, vèv a mò a, pou ou kapab fè leve non a sila ki mouri an sou eritaj pa li.”
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].
Pwòch fanmi an te di: “Mwen pa kapab peye ranson li pou kont mwen; paske mwen ta mete pwòp eritaj mwen an danje. Peye ranson li pou kont ou; ou kapab genyen dwa ranson pa m nan. Paske, mwen pa kapab peye ranson li.”
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.
Alò sa se te koutim lontan an Israël pou ranson ak echanj tè pou vin an lòd avèk nenpòt afè. Yon nonm ta retire sapat li, te lonje li bay yon lòt. Se konsa pou te fè atestasyon an Israël.
8 And he that had the right of redemption said to Boaz, Buy for thyself; and he drew off his sandal.
Konsa, pwòch fanmi an te di Boaz: “Achte li pou kont ou.” Epi li te retire sandal li.
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;
Alò, Boaz te di a lansyen yo ak tout pèp la: “Nou se temwen jodi a ke mwen te achte soti nan men Naomi tout sa ki te pou Élimélec yo ak tout sa ki te pou Kiljon avèk Machlon yo.
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.
Anplis, mwen te pran Ruth, Moabit la, vèv a Machlon an, kon madanm mwen, jis pou non a mò a kapab leve sou eritaj pa li. Pou non a mò a pa vin dekoupe soti nan frè li yo, ni nan rejis tribinal nesans li a. Nou se temwen jodi a.”
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;
Tout pèp la te la nan tribinal la ak lansyen yo te di: “Nou se temwen Ke SENYÈ a kapab fè fanm k ap antre lakay ou a tankou Rachel avèk Léa, tou de ki te bati lakay Israël la. Epi ke ou va reyisi richès ou nan Éphrata e vin rekonèt pa tout moun nan Bethléhem nan.
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.
Anplis, ke lakay pa w kapab vin tankou lakay Pérets, ke Tamar te fè pou Juda, ak desandan ke SENYÈ a va bannou pa jenn fanm sila a.”
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.
Konsa Boaz te pran Ruth. Li te devni madanm li, epi li te antre ladann. Konsa SENYÈ a te fè l kapab vin ansent e li te fè yon fis.
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!
Alò fanm yo te di a Naomi: “Beni se SENYÈ a ki pa t kite ou san redanmtè jodi a. Ke non li kapab vin rekonèt toupatou an Israël!
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.
Anplis ke li kapab devni pou ou yon redanmtè lavi ak yon soutyen pou vyeyès ou. Anplis, pou bèlfi ou, ki renmen ou e ki pran swen ou pi byen pase sèt fis ki te bay li nesans.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
Alò, Naomi te pran pitit la, te fè l kouche sou janm li yo pou te pran swen li.”
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.
Fanm vwazinaj la te bay li non an, epi te di: “Yon fis te ne pa Naomi!” Konsa, yo te rele li Obed. Li se papa a Jessé, papa a David.
18 Now these are the generations of Pherez. Pherez begot Hezron,
Alò, sila yo se jenerasyon a Pérets yo: Pérets te fè Hetsron,
19 and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,
Hetsron te fè Ram; Ram te fè Amminadab;
20 and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
Amminadab te fè Nachschon; Nachschon te fè Salmon;
21 and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
Salmon te fè Boaz; Boaz te fè Obed;
22 and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
Obed te fè Jessé; epi, Jessé te fè David.
