< 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 el som nu in acn in toeni ke mutunpot in siti uh ac muta we. Na mwet se ma Boaz el fahk mu fototo oemeet nu sel Elimelech ah fahsryak, na Boaz el pangnol ac fahk nu sel, “Mwet kawuk luk, fahsru ac muta in se inge.” Na mwet sac som ac pituki yorol.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And they sat down.
Na Boaz el eis singoul sin mwet kol in siti sac ac fahk elos in wi pac muta insac. Ke elos pituki,
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.
el fahk nu sin sou se lal ah, “Inge ke Naomi el foloko liki acn Moab uh, el ke kitala ipin acn se lal Elimelech, sou se lasr ah,
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].
ac nga mu sahp kom ac enenu in etu. Inge, kom fin lungse, kom enenu in molela ye mutun mwet ma muta inge. A kom fin tia lungse, kom akkalemye, mweyen ma lom pa suwohs in molela uh oasr se meet likiyu.” Na mwet sac fahk ouinge, “Nga ac molela.”
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.
Na Boaz el mu, “Wona, kom fin ac moli acn sac kom ac enenu in molella pac Ruth, mutan Moab sac, ipin acn sac in mau oanna sin sou lun mwet se ma misa ah.”
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].
Na mwet sac fahk, “Fin ouingan, nga ac tari kitala suwohs se luk in molela acn sacn, mweyen kalmac uh pa tulik nutik sifacna uh ac tia ku in usrui acn sacn. Molela kom. Tari nga ac tila eis.”
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.
Ouinge ma orek in pacl sac ah, in orala ayaol ke acn ku in molela sie ipin acn, mwet se ma ac kitala acn uh enenu in sarukla fahluk lal uh ac sang nu sin mwet se ma ac molela acn sac uh. Ouiya se inge fin orekla, na mwet Israel uh ac etu lah oasr ma orekla ke ipin acn sacn.
8 And he that had the right of redemption said to Boaz, Buy for thyself; and he drew off his sandal.
Ouinge ke mwet sac fahk nu sel Boaz, “Molela kom,” el sarukla fahluk lal ah, ac sang nu sel Boaz.
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;
Na Boaz el fahk nu sin mwet kol inge ac mwet sayalos su wi muta in acn sac, “Kowos nukewa mwet loh kac misenge lah nga molela nu sel Naomi ma nukewa lal Elimelech, ac wen luo natul, Chilion ac Mahlon.
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.
Sayen ma inge, Ruth, mutan Moab se kial Mahlon ah, ac tufah mutan kiuk. Ma se inge ac fah oru tuh acn lun mwet se ma misa in oanna in sou lal uh in nien muta lalos uh. Kowos mwet loh nu ke ma inge misenge.”
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;
Na mwet kol ac mwet saya ma wi muta insac ah fahk, “Aok, kut mwet loh kac. Lela LEUM GOD Elan oru tuh mutan se kiom ingan in oana Rachel ac Leah, su oswela tulik pukanten natul Jacob. Finsrak kom in ku in kasrup in sruf Ephrath ac pwengpeng in acn Bethlehem.
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.
Lela tulik nutum ma LEUM GOD El ac sot nu sum sin mutan fusr se kiom ingan in oru tuh sou lom an in oana sou lal Perez, wen natul Judah ac Tamar.”
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.
Ouinge Boaz el usal Ruth som nu lohm sel tuh elan mutan kial. LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal, ac el pitutuyak ac oswela tulik mukul se.
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!
Na mutan in acn sac fahk nu sel Naomi, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD! El asot nu sum sie wen misenge in karingin kom. Lela tuh tulik sacn in pwengpeng fin Israel!
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.
Acn talupom el lungse kom, ac oru ma wowo pus nu sum yohk liki ma wen itkosr ku in oru. Ac inge el asot nu sum sie wen, su ac fah asot moul sasu nu sum ac akwoye moul lom ke pacl kom ac matuoh.”
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
Naomi el srukak tulik sac, sruokilya nu iniwal, ac karinganulang.
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.
Mutan in acn sac sang inen tulik sac Obed. Ac elos fahk nu sin mwet nukewa lah, “Wen se isusyang nu sel Naomi!” Obed el papa tumal Jesse, su papa tumal David.
18 Now these are the generations of Pherez. Pherez begot Hezron,
Pa inge takin sou sac wal Perez nwe kacl David: Perez papa tumal Hezron,
19 and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,
Hezron papa tumal Ram, Ram papa tumal Amminadab,
20 and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
Amminadab papa tumal Nahshon, Nahshon papa tumal Salmon,
21 and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
Salmon papa tumal Boaz, Boaz papa tumal Obed,
22 and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
Obed papa tumal Jesse, ac Jesse papa tumal David.
