< 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.
Boʼeez gara karra magaalaatti baʼee achi taaʼe. Innis yommuu namichi dhaaluuf isa caalaa fira dhiʼoo taʼe sun dhufetti, “Yaa michuu ko, as kottuutii na bira taaʼi” jedheen. Kanaafuu inni dhaqee taaʼe.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And they sat down.
Boʼeezis maanguddoota magaalaa keessaa kudhan waamee, “As taaʼaa” jedheen; isaanis ni tataaʼan.
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.
Kana irratti namicha dhaaluuf aantummaa qabu sanaan akkana jedhe; “Naaʼomiin isheen Moʼaabii deebite sun lafa obboleessa keenya Eliimelek gurguruuf jirti.
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].
Kanaafuu akka ati fuula warra as tataaʼaniitii fi fuula maanguddoota saba kootii duratti lafa kana bittuuf ani waan kana sitti himuu yaade. Yoo ofii keetiif dhaaluu barbaadde dhaali. Yoo dhaaluu baatte garuu akka ani beekuuf natti himi. Waan kana gochuuf si malee namni mirga qabu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii; namni sitti aanee aantummaa qabu ana.” Namichis, “Ani nan dhaala” jedhe.
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.
Boʼeezis, “Egaa gaafa Naaʼomiinii fi Ruuti Moʼaabittii irraa lafa bittutti ati maqaa namicha duʼe sanaa qabeenya isaatiin waamsisuudhaaf niitii isaa illee fudhachuu qabda” jedheen.
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].
Kana irratti firri dhiʼoo sun, “Yoos ani qabeenya mataa kootti rakkina fiduu dandaʼaatii dhaaluu hin dandaʼu. Ati mataan kee mirga dhaaluu kootii fudhadhuutii dhaali. Ani waan kana gochuu hin dandaʼu” jedheen.
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.
Bara durii biyya Israaʼeliitti dhaalaa fi qabeenya walitti dabarsuun gareen tokko kophee isaa of irraa baasee garee kaaniif kennuudhaan mirkaneeffama ture. Israaʼel keessatti bituu fi gurguruun haaluma kanaan mirkaneeffama ture.
8 And he that had the right of redemption said to Boaz, Buy for thyself; and he drew off his sandal.
Kanaafuu namichi dhaaluuf fira dhiʼoo ture sun Boʼeeziin, “Ati mataan kee bitadhu” jedhee kophee of irraa baase.
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;
Boʼeezis maanguddootaa fi saba hundaan akkana jedhe; “Akka ani qabeenya Eliimelek, qabeenya Kiliiyooniitii fi qabeenya Mahiloon hunda Naaʼomiin irraa bite isin harʼa dhugaa baatota.
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.
Akkasumas akka maqaan isaa maatii isaa keessaa yookaan biyya isaa keessaa hin badneef ani qabeenya isaatiin maqaa isaa waamsisuudhaaf Ruuti Moʼaabittii niitii Mahiloon kana niitii godhadhee fuudhuu kootiif isin harʼa dhugaa baatota!”
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;
Maanguddoonnii fi namoonni karra sana dura turan hundinuu akkana jedhan; “Nu dhugaa baatota. Waaqayyo dubartii mana kee dhufaa jirtu kana akka Raahelii fi Liyaa warra tokkummaadhaan mana Israaʼel ijaaran sanaa haa godhu. Ati Efraataa keessatti nama jabaa, Beetlihem keessatti immoo beekamaa taʼi.
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.
Karaa sanyii Waaqayyo dubartii dargaggeettii kana irraa siif kennuutiin maatiin kee akkuma maatii Faares isa Taamaar Yihuudaadhaaf deesse sanaa haa taʼu.”
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.
Kanaafuu Boʼeez Ruutin fudhatee niitii godhate. Ishee wajjinis ciise; Waaqayyos akka isheen ulfooftee ilma deessu ishee gargaare.
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!
Dubartoonnis Naaʼomiiniin akkana jedhan; “Waaqayyo inni nama si dhaalu si hin dhabsiisin sun haa eebbifamu. Guutummaa Israaʼel keessattis inni maqaa haa qabaatu!
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.
Innis jireenya kee ni haaromsa; bara dulluma keetiittis si soora. Niitiin ilma keetii isheen si jaallattu kan ilmaan torba siif caaltu sun isa deesseertiitii.”
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
Naaʼomiinis mucicha fuutee hammatte; guddiftuu isaa illee taate.
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.
Dubartoonni ollaas, “Naaʼomiin mucaa argatte” jedhan. Maqaa isaas Oobeedi jedhan. Inni akaakayyuu Daawit, abbaa Isseey.
18 Now these are the generations of Pherez. Pherez begot Hezron,
Egaa hiddi dhaloota Faares kanaa dha: Faares abbaa Hezroon;
19 and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,
Hezroon immoo abbaa Raam; Raam abbaa Amiinaadaab;
20 and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
Amiinaadaab immoo abbaa Nahishoon; Nahishoon abbaa Salmoon;
21 and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
Salmoon immoo abbaa Boʼeez; Boʼeez immoo abbaa Oobeedi;
22 and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
Oobeedi immoo abbaa Isseey; Isseey immoo abbaa Daawit.
