< Ruth 4 >

1 Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down.
Boua: se e sia: sa: imusa: gilisibi sogebi amoga asili amola logo gadenene amogai esalu. Amogai esaloba amola Ilimelege ea gadenene fi dunu (bu bidi lasu fi dunu ilia da sia: su - da: i sia: da ‘kinsman-redeemer) amo mafiadalebe ba: i. Amola Boua: se ea e wele sia: i, “Na na: iyado! Di fila misa. Na da sia: fonobahadi sia: mu gala.” Amalalu, e da misini fi.
2 And Booz taking ten men of the ancients of the city, said to them: Sit ye down here.
Amanoba, Boua: se e bu bidi lasu dunu amo e da musa: sia: i ema amane sia: i, “Di gui fila misa.” Amanoba, e da misini bulagi.
3 They sat down, and he spoke to the kinsman: Noemi, who is returned from the country of Moab, will sell a parcel of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech.
Amalalu, Boua: se da moilai ouligisu dunu nabuane lale, Ilimelege ea bu bidi lasu fi dunu ema amane sia: i, “Na: ioumi da waha Moua: be soge yolesili, misi dagoi. E da ania sosogo fi dunu Ilimelege amo ea soge bidi lamu hanai galebe.
4 I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field.
Amaiba: le, na dima sia: be goea, be di hanai galea, goe soge di lama. Fada: i dunu nabuane agoane ilia dia sia: nabima: ne sia: ma. Be higa: i galea amo higa: i fawane sia: ma. Bai di da hanai galea, di da lamu defele gala. Be dia higasea, na da lamu defele gala.” Ilimelege ea bu bidi lasu fi dunu e da amane sia: i, “Na da lamu!”
5 And Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman’s hand, thou must take also Ruth the Moabitess, who was the wife of the deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance.
Boua: se e amane sia: i;, “Defeadafa! Be dia Na: ioumi ea soge lasea, di da Ludi (Moua: be uda didalo) amola bidiga lasa. Amasea, amo soge da bogoi ea sosogo fi amo ganodini dialumu.
6 He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege, which I profess I do willingly forego.
Amanoba, bu bidi lasu fi dunu da amane sia: i, “Amai galea, na amola soge agoe bidiga lamu, be amo da agoane, na mano ilia soge hame galumu. Amaiba: le dia lama. Be Na da bu hame lamu.”
7 Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe, and gave it to his neighhour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel.
Amo esoha ilia da hou agoane hamosu. Isala: ili ilia sia: sa: imusa: o bu afadenemusa: ilia amola da hou agoane hamosu. Dunu afae da ea emo salasu gisa: le, dunu eno igili iasu. Amo hou da Isala: ili fi dunu ilia hou. Ilia da bidi lasu hou ilegema: ne agoane hamosu.
8 So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot.
Amabeba: le, amola Ilimilege ea bu bidi lasu fi dunu da Boua: se ema amane sia: i, “Di bidiga lama!” E da ea emo salasu gisa: le amola Boua: sema i.
9 And he said to the ancients and to all the people: You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and Chelion’s, and Mahalon’s, of the hand of Noemi:
Amalalu, Boua: se e dunu fada: i ilima amola oda esalebe dunu ilima amane adoi, “Dilia huluane ba: ma! Amola waha da na Na: ioumi ea soge amo Ilimelege amola ea mano Gilione amola Malone ilia soge, amo na bidiga lai dagoi.
10 And have taken to wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon, to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name be cut off, from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.
Amola na da sia: fonobahadi sia: mu gala. Na agoane dawa: Ludi e da na uda esalumu da defea. Ludi amo uda da Moua: be dunu fi amola Malone ea lai galu, be Malone e bogobeba: le yolesi. Na da Ludi lamu hanai galebe, amola Malone ea sosogo fi da ea soge gaguiwane dialumu. Amola egaga fi da ea fidafa amola ea moilaidafa amo ganodini fifi lamu. Amola amo hou hahamoi amo dili huluane ba: i ama.
11 Then all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name in Bethlehem:
Dunu huluane ilia amane sia: i, “Defea! Amo ilegele hou ninia da ba: i dagoi.” Amola fada: i dunu huluane da amane sia: i, “Goe uda waha dia diasu ganodini misi, amo da Hina Gode amo Hi fawane da La: isele amola Lia elea esoa: fi Isala: ili fi ganodini hamoi defele ema hamomu. Ela da Ya: igobema mano bagohame lai. Ludi da ela defele hamomu da defea. Amola difawane da liligi bagade gagui agoane hamoma. Efala: de fi amo ganodini amola di da Bedeleheme moilai fi ganodini fada: i dunu agoane esaloma.
12 And that the house may be, as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore unto Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
Amola dia sosogo fi da bagadewane heda: mu da defea. Di da amo a: fini didalo lasea, Hina Gode da alima mano bagohame imunu da defea. Amasea, dia sosogo fi da Yuda amola Da: ima elea mano Bilese amo ea sosogo fi hamoi amo defele ba: mu.
13 Booz therefore took Ruth, and married her: and went in unto her, and the Lord gave her to conceive and to bear a son.
Amanoba Boua: se ea Ludi lale, ea diasuga oule asi. Be Hina Gode da ema hahawane dogolegele amola asigili hamobeba: le, e abula agui ba: i amola dunu mano lalelegei.
14 And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor, that his name should be preserved in Israel.
Uda ilia da misini, Na: ioumima amane sia: i, “Hahawane Hina Godema nodoma! E da waha dia aowa lalelegei amo da di ouligima: ne. Amola amo mano da Isala: ili fi amo ganodini gasa bagade esaluma: mu.
15 And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.
Disoa: ea amola da dima asigisa amola ea dima fidisu hou da dunu mano fesuale gala ilia fidisu hou baligi dagoi. Amola e da wali dima aowa i dagoi. Amo da dia da: i hamobe amo ganodini e da di noga: le ouligimu.”
16 And Noemi taking the child laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto it.
Na: ioumi ea mano amo seba: le, amola noga: le fofoi.
17 And the women her neighbours, congratulating with her and saying: There is a son born to Noemi: called his name Obed: he is the father of Isai, the father of David.
Amola uda gadenene fi misini, mano ea dio Oubede asuli. Ilia dunu huluane ilima adoi, “Na: ioumi e da dunu mano lalelegei dagoi!” Amola Oubede da asigilale amola mano ea dio amo Yesi lai. Yesi da Da: ibidi lalelegei.
18 These are the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esron,
Goe da Bilese ea sosogo fi asili Da: ibidima doaga: i hou. Bilese amo da Heselone ea ada, Heselone e da Lame ea ada, Lame da A: minada: be ea ada, A:minada: be e da Nasone ea ada, Nasone da Sa: lamone ea ada, Sa: lamone da Boua: se ea ada, Oubede da Yesi ea ada, amola Yesi e da Da: ibidi ea ada. Amo fi da amane fifi misi goa. Sia: ama dagoi
19 Esron begot Aram, Aram begot Aminadab,
20 Aminadab begot Nahasson, Nahasson begot Salmon,
21 Salmon begot Booz, Booz begot Obed,
22 Obed begot Isai, Isai begot David.
