< Ruth 4 >

1 Boaz went to the town gate, and sat down there. The family redeemer that Boaz had mentioned happened to pass by, so Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down.” The man came over and sat down.
Ita, napan ni Boaz iti ruangan ket nagtugaw sadiay. Iti saan a nagbayag, simmangpet ti ibagbaga ni Boaz nga asideg a kabagian. Kinuna ni Boaz kenkuana, “Gayyem, umayka ket agtugawka ditoy.” Immasideg ti lalaki ket nagtugaw.
2 Then Boaz selected ten of the town elders and asked them to sit there with them.
Kalpasanna, nangayab ni Boaz iti sangapulo a panglakayen iti siudad ket kinunana, “Agtugawkayo ditoy.” Nagtugawda ngarud.
3 Boaz said to the family redeemer, “Naomi who has returned from the country of Moab is selling the piece of land that belonged to Elimelech, our relative.
Kinuna ni Boaz iti asideg a kabagian, “Ilaklako ni Naomi, a nagsubli manipud idiay pagilian ti Moab, ti paset ti daga a kukua ni Elimelec a kabsattayo.
4 I decided I should tell you in case you want to buy it here in the presence of these elders of the people. If you want to redeem it, then go ahead. But it you don't, then tell me so I'll know, because you are first in line to redeem it, and I'm next.” “I want to redeem it,” said the family redeemer.
Napanunotko nga ipakaammo ken ibaga kenka, 'Gatangem daytoy iti imatang dagiti agtugtugaw ditoy, ken iti imatang dagiti panglakayen dagiti tattaok.' No kayatmo a subboten, ket subbotem ngarud daytoy. Ngem no saanmo a kayat a subboten daytoy, ibagam kaniak tapno ammok, gapu ta awanen ti sabali pay a mangsubbot iti daytoy malaksid kenka, ket siak ti sumarsaruno kenka.” Ket kinuna ti lalaki, “Subbotek daytoy.”
5 “When you buy the land from Naomi you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon's widow, so you can marry her and have children with her to ensure the man's line continues,” Boaz explained.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Boaz, “Iti kanito a gatangem ti talon manipud iti ima ni Naomi, masapul nga alaem met ni Ruth, ti Moabita nga asawa daydi natay a lalaki, tapno maitakder ti nagan ti natay iti tawidna.”
6 “Well, I can't do it then,” the family redeemer replied. “If I were to redeem it, that could jeopardize what I already own. You redeem it for yourself, because I can't.”
Ket kinuna ti asideg a kabagian, “Saanko a mabalin a subboten daytoy a para kaniak gapu ta madadael ti bukodko a tawid. Alaem ti karbengak a mangsubbot, ta saankon a masubbot daytoy.”
7 (Now during those times it was the custom in Israel to confirm the action of family redeemer, property transfer, or any similar legal matter by removing a sandal and handing it over. This was the way of validating a transaction in Israel.)
Ita, daytoy ti kaugalian idi un-unana a panawen iti Israel maipanggep iti panangsubbot ken panangisukat kadagiti sanikua. Tapno mapatalgedan ti amin a banag, uksoten ti lalaki ti sapatosna ket itedna daytoy iti kaarubana; daytoy iti gagangay a wagas iti pannakitulag ti Israel.
8 So the family redeemer took off his sandal and told Boaz, “You buy it.”
Kinuna ngarud ti asideg a kabagian kenni Boaz, “Sika lattan ti manggatang.” Ket inuksotna ti sapatosna.
9 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people present, “You are witnesses that today I have bought from Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech, Mahlon, and Chilion.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Boaz kadagiti panglakayen ken kadagiti amin a tattao, “Saksikayo ita nga aldaw a ginatangkon amin a kukua ni Elimelec, ken amin a kukua da Kilion ken Mahalon manipud iti ima ni Naomi.
10 I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon's widow, as my wife. By having children who may inherit his property his name will be kept alive in his family and in his home town. You are witnesses of this today.”
Maysa pay, maipanggep kenni Ruth a Moabita, ti asawa ni Mahalon: alaek met isuna nga agbalin nga asawak, tapno maitakderko ti nagan ti natay iti tawidna, tapno saan a mapukaw ti naganna kadagiti kakabsatna ken iti ruangan iti lugarna. Saksikayo iti daytoy nga aldaw.”
11 The elders and all the people present at the town gate said, “Yes, we are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah who between them gave birth to the people of Israel. May you become prosperous in Ephrathah, and famous in Bethlehem.
Kinuna dagiti amin a tattao ken dagiti panglakayen nga adda idiay ruangan, “Saksikami. Pagbalinen koma ni Yahweh ti babai nga immay iti pagtaengam a kas kada Raquel ken Lea, dagiti dua a nangbangon ti balay ti Israel. Ket rumang-ayka koma idiay Efrata ken agdinamagka koma iti Bethlehem.
12 May your descendants the Lord gives you through this young woman become like the descendants of Perez, the son Tamar bore to Judah.”
Agbalin koma ti pagtaengam a kas iti pagtaengan ni Perez, nga impasngay ni Tamar kenni Juda, babaen iti anak nga ited ni Yahweh kadakayo iti daytoy nga agtutubo a babai.”
13 Boaz took Ruth home, and she became his wife. He slept with her, and the Lord arranged for her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
Innala ngarud ni Boaz ni Ruth, ket nagbalin isuna nga asawana. Nakikaidda isuna kenkuana, ket impalubos ni Yahweh nga agsikog isuna, ket nangipasngay ti babai iti maysa nga anak a lalaki.
14 The women of the town came to Naomi and said, “Praise the Lord, for today he didn't leave you without a family redeemer by giving you this grandson—may he become famous throughout Israel.
Kinuna dagiti babbai kenni Naomi, “Madaydayaw koma ni Yahweh, a saan nangibati kenka ita nga aldaw nga awanan iti asideg a kabagian, daytoy a maladaga. Nalatakto koma ti naganna iti Israel.
15 He will give you a new lease of life and provide for you in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better than seven sons to you, has given birth to him.”
Isunto koma iti mangpasubli ti biagmo ken mangpakaradkad kenka iti kinabaketmo, ta impasngay isuna ti manugangmo, a mangay-ayat kenka, a nasaysayaat kenka ngem ti pito nga annak a lallaki.”
16 Naomi picked up the child and hugged him. She looked after him like her own son.
Ket innala ni Naomi ti ubing, insadagna iti barukongna, ket inaywananna daytoy.
17 The neighbor women named him Obed, saying “Naomi now has a son!” He was the father of Jesse who was the father of David.
Ket dagiti babbai, dagiti kaarubana, intedda kenkuana ti maysa a nagan, a kunada, “Adda maysa nga anak a lalaki a naiyanak kenni Naomi.” Pinanagananda isuna iti Obed. Isuna ti nagbalin nga ama ni Jesse, nga ama ni David.
18 This is the family line of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron.
Ita, dagitoy dagiti kaputotan ni Perez: Ni Perez ti nagbalin nga ama ni Hesron,
19 Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab.
ni Hesron ket nagbalin nga ama ni Ram, ni Ram ket nagbalin nga ama ni Aminadab,
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
ni Aminadab ket nagbalin nga ama ni Naason, ni Naason ket nagbalin nga ama ni Salmon,
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed.
ni Salmon ket nagbalin nga ama ni Boaz, ni Boaz ket nagbalin nga ama ni Obed,
22 Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David.
ni Obed ket nagbalin nga ama ni Jesse, ni Jesse ti nagbalin nga ama ni David.
