< 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.
Boasi'a marerino ana kumate kasante umani'ne. Anante Boasi'a keana, Rutima asmino kva huntegahie hu'nea ne' egeno, anage hu'ne, Nenfuga amare enka emanio, higeno anante emani'ne.
2 Then Boaz selected ten of the town elders and asked them to sit there with them.
Ana hutegeno Boasi'a 10ni'a ranra kuma kva vahe, zamare atru huno anage hu'ne, amare emaniho hige'za zamagra emani'naze.
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.
Anante Boasi amanage huno ana nera asami'ne, Naomi'a Moabu mopareti e'neno, tagri vahe'mofo Elimeleki mopa mizante atrenaku nehige'na negasmue.
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.
Hige'na nagra tamage kazigati kasami fatgo hunaku nagesa nentahue. Amama mani'naza vahe'ene, ranra kva vahe'nimokizmi zamufi, kagrama miza sena aza hugahue hanunka, amne ana huo. Hagi ana osugahue hanunka, nasmige'na antahi'neno. Na'ankure kagra kagota hanke'na, nagra kagri kamage hu'noe. Ana ne'mo'a kenona huno, Nagra mizasena aza hugahue huno hu'ne.
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.
Higeno Boasi'a anage hu'ne, Ana mopa Naomi azampinti miza sesana zupa, Moabuti a'ma fri'nemofo kento a' Rutina nafa'aza hunenka, fri'nea ne'mofo naga zamagima erifore hananke'za, ana naga'mo'za ana mopa erigahaze.
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.”
Avate korama kvama huntega ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, Nagra mizase'na azahuga osu'noe. Na'ankure e'ina hanu'na nenfa'ma namige'na erisanti hare'noa zana eri haviza hugahue. E'ina hu'negu nagrama huga'zana kagra huo. Na'ankure nagra mizase'na azahuga osu'noe.
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.)
Hagi amanahu avu'avara, korapa knafi'na Israeli vahepi me'neane. Mago vahemo'ma mago'zama mizasekuro, azahukura, mago agia ano zafino mago'mofo nemia zane. Higeno amanahu antahi'zamo'a mani'zamofo kankamu erifore huno Israeli vahera aza nehia zane.
8 So the family redeemer took off his sandal and told Boaz, “You buy it.”
Ana higeno, Rutima kegava huntega ne'mo'a, Boasinku anage hu'ne, Kagraka'a suza miza'so, nehuno aga nona zafi'ne.
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.
Anante Boasi'a ranra vaheku'ene, mika vaheku anage hu'ne, Tamagra negesage'na tamagri tamufi menina Naomi azampintira, Elimelekima, Kilioni'ma, Maloni zantamima me'neana, nagra miza segahue.
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.”
Nagra ana zanke hu'na, Moaputi a' Rutina azeri nafa'a nehue, Maloni kento a'mo nagri a' mani'neno, fri'nea ne'mofo agi fanane hu'zanku zamagia erifore hanige'za ana mopare ene, vahe'afine, kuma'afinena fanane osugahie. Mika vahe'mota menina amazana tamufinti negaze,
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.
huno higeno ana kumamofo kasante mani'naza vahe'ene, kumate ranra vahe'ene mika'moza hu'za, Tagra negone, Ra Anumzamo azeri so'e hanigeno nonka'afima esnia a'mo'a, Resoli'ene, Liakema, Israeli vahe kse hakare huna'a kna hugahie. Hanigenka kagra Efrati naga nofipi ra kagi erinka Betlehemia feno ne' manigahane.
12 May your descendants the Lord gives you through this young woman become like the descendants of Perez, the son Tamar bore to Judah.”
Mago'ene nagakamo'za, Peresi naga kna huza, Judanteti Tamari'ma kasente'nea ne'mofo nagapinti, Ra Anumzamo ama a'pinti mofavre zaga kamigahie.
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.
Higeno Boasi'a, Ruti a' avregeno nenaro'za higeno, anteno mase'ne. Ramo azeri knare huntegeno agra amu'ene huno ne'mofavre ksente'ne.
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.
Anante a'nemo'za Naominku anage hu'naze, Ra Anumzamofo agi'a erisga hanune, na'ankure meni ama knafina kzahu vahera omani'ne huno onkatre'ne. Ama mofavremo Israeli vahe motafina ragi erigahie.
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.”
Agra nomani zanka'a kzeri muse nehuno tavava'ma resankeno'a knare huno kegava hugantegahie, na'ankure neganofero'a, seveni'a ne'mofavre zaga zamagatere'no, agra avesi kantega'hie!
16 Naomi picked up the child and hugged him. She looked after him like her own son.
Anante Naomi'a ana mofavre avreno, agra'a asumpi anukino kegava hu'ne.
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.
Magopi nemaniza a'nemo'za, anage hu'naze, Mago ne'mofavre Naomi'na fore humie! Obeti'e hu'za agi'a antemi'naze. Obeti'a raseno Jesi ksentegeno, Jesi'a, Deviti nefaza hu'ne!
18 This is the family line of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron.
Ama'ne e'i Peresi naga'nofimokizmi zamagi'e, Peresi'a, Hesroni ksente'ne,
19 Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab.
Hesroni'a, Rami ksentegeno, Rami'a, Aminadabu ksente'ne.
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
Aminadabu'a, Nasoni ksentegeno, Nasoni'a, Salmoni ksente'ne.
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed.
Salmoni'a, Boasi ksentegeno Boasi'a, Obeti ksente'ne.
22 Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David.
Obeti'a, Jesi ksentegeno, Jesi'a, Deviti ksente'ne.
