< Ruth 4 >

1 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Hatnavah, Boaz teh khopui longkha koe a cei teh a tahung. Paduem a dei e pacanaw ni a cei e a hmu navah, a kamlang teh, api nang maw, tahung leih atipouh e patetlah a kamlang teh a tahung.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you down here. And they sat down.
Hahoi, khopui thung e kacuenaw tami hra touh a kaw teh, hi tahung atipouh e patetlah a tahung.
3 And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, sells a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:
A pacanaw ni hai Moab kho hoi ka tho e Naomi ni maimae hmau, Elimelek e talai a yo han dawkvah,
4 And I thought to advertise you, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it: but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside you; and I am after you. And he said, I will redeem it.
nang na thai sak. Khocanaw, kaimae pacanaw dawk hoi kacuenaw e hmalah ran leih telah dei hanlah pouknae ka tawn. Nang ni ratang na ngai pawiteh ratang leih. Na ratang ngai hoehpawiteh kai koe bout dei lawih. Kai laipalah alouke ka ratang thai e awm hoeh. Nange na hnukkhu lah kai ka o atipouh navah paca ni kai ni ka ratang han telah ati.
5 Then said Boaz, What day you buy the field of the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.
Boaz ni hai hote laikawk hah Naomi koe rannae hnin navah kadout e râw lahoi a minhmai khet hanelah a yu Moab napui Ruth hah a ran sin telah ati navah,
6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance: redeem you my right to yourself; for I cannot redeem it.
A paca ni kai ni kama hanlah ka ratang thai mahoeh. Ka ratang pawiteh ka râw raphoe e lah ao han ti a lakueng. Kai ni ka ratang hoeh toung dawkvah kaie ratangthainae hah, nama hanlah ratang lawih telah atipouh.
7 Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel.
Isarelnaw e singyoe patetlah ratangnae, hno kâthung e a kangning thai nahanlah buet touh ni amae khokkhawm a rading vaiteh buet touh koe ouk a hnawng. Hottelah, sak e lahoi, Isarel miphunnaw koe panuekhainae teh acak.
8 Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for you. So he drew off his shoe.
Hatdawkvah, a paca ni, ma hanelah ran leih telah Boaz koe a dei pouh e patetlah Boaz ni amae khokkhawm teh a rading.
9 And Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, You 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.
Boaz ni hai Elimelek e hno, Khilion e hno hoi Mahlon e hnonaw pueng Naomi kut dawk e ka ran teh,
10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place: you are witnesses this day.
Kadout e min hah ahnie hmaunawngha thung hoi thoseh, a onae khopui longkha koehoi thoseh ahnie râw lahoi a min pâpout hoeh nahanelah, Mahlon e a yu Moab napui Ruth heh ka yu lah ao thai nahan, ka ran tie hah nangmanaw teh sahnin kapanuekkhaikung lah na o awh.
11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do you worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
Longkha koe kaawm e kacuenaw, taminaw pueng ni kapanuekkhaikung lah ao awh. Na im ka tho e napui ni Isarel miphun kangdout sak e napui kahni touh teh kaimouh koe, Rachel hoi Leah patetlah ao nahan, BAWIPA ni sak lawiseh. Nang hai Epharath kho dawk thao thasainae hoi na kawi vaiteh, Bethlehem khopui dawk min kamthang lawiseh,
12 And let your house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give you of this young woman.
Karoung takhang e hete napui koe, Cathut ni a poe hane cati lahoi, nange catounnaw teh, Judah e a yu Tamar ni a khe e Parez catoun patetlah awm naseh telah a dei awh.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in to her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.
Boaz ni Ruth a paluen teh, a okhai navah Cathut lungmanae lahoi ca a von teh ca tongpa a khe.
14 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which has not left you this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
Napuinaw ni hai Naomi koevah nang na khenyawn hanelah na miphun ka cettakhai hoeh e Cathut yawhawinae awmseh. Atu na khe e na miphun heh Isarel miphun dawk kamthangnae awm lawiseh,
15 And he shall be to you a restorer of your life, and a nourisher of your old age: for your daughter in law, which loves you, which is better to you than seven sons, has born him.
Ahni teh na hringnae ka khenyawn e tami, na matawng navah na ka kawk e tami lah awmseh. Nang lung na ka pataw e tawngpa sari touh hlak hai hoe kahawi e na langa ni ca tongpa a khe toe atipouh awh.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
Naomi ni camo hah a la teh, a tawm teh a okhai
17 And the women her neighbors 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.
Imri e napuinaw ni hai Naomi ni a ca tongpa a khe ati awh teh, hote camo teh Obed telah min a phung awh. Obed capa Jesi, Jesi capa Devit.
18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Perez e catounnaw teh: Perez capa Hezron,
19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
Hezron capa Ram, Ram capa Amminadab,
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Amminadab capa Nahshon, Nahshon capa Salmon,
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Salmon capa Boaz, Boaz capa Obed,
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Obed capa Jesi, Jesi capa Devit lah ao.
