< Ruth 4 >
1 THEN went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Wana Boazi akendeki na ekuke ya engumba mpe avandaki kuna, amonaki mosikoli, oyo Boazi alobaki ete ye nde azali na ndingisa ya kosikola Rite, azali koleka. Boazi alobaki na ye: « Ndeko na ngai ya mobali, yaka nanu mpe vanda awa. » Moto yango apusanaki mpe avandaki.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
Boazi abengaki mibali zomi kati na bakambi ya engumba mpe asengaki ete bavanda na bango elongo. Tango bavandaki,
3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:
Boazi alobaki na mosikoli ya Rite: — Naomi oyo awutaki na mokili ya Moabi azali koteka elanga ya Elimeleki, ndeko na biso.
4 And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
Ngai nazwaki likanisi ya koyebisa yo mpe kosenga na yo ete osomba na yo yango na miso ya bavandi ya engumba mpe ya bakambi oyo bazali awa. Soki ondimi kosomba yango, somba na yo. Soki te, yebisa ngai mpo ete nayeba; pamba te yo nde ozali moto ya liboso oyo azali na ndingisa ya kosomba yango, mpe ngai nazali na ndingisa sima na yo. Moto yango azongiselaki ye: — Iyo, nakosomba yango.
5 Then said Boaz, What 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.
Boazi alobaki: — Na mokolo oyo okosomba elanga na maboko ya Naomi, okozwa mpe Rite, moto ya Moabi, mwasi akufisa mobali; mpo na kosala ete kombo ya mowei etikala na libula na ye.
6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.
Mosikoli alobaki: — Nakoki kosikola yango te, noki te nakotia mobulu kati na libula na ngai. Sikola yango yo moko, pamba te ngai nakoki te kosala yango.
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 neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
Nzokande, na tango ya kala kati na Isalaele, mpo na kosikola mpe kopesa libula, moto moko azalaki kolongola sapatu na ye mpe kopesa yango epai ya moto mosusu. Sapatu yango ezalaki lokola elembo ya litatoli kati na Isalaele.
8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
Mosikoli alobaki na Boazi: — Yo moko somba yango. Boye, alongolaki sapatu na ye.
9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto 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.
Boazi ayebisaki bampaka mpe bato nyonso: — Bino moko bozali batatoli ete nasombi na maboko ya Naomi libula nyonso ya Elimeleki, ya Kilioni mpe ya Maaloni.
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.
Nazwi lisusu Rite, moto ya Moabi, oyo azalaki mwasi ya Maaloni oyo akufa, mpo ete azala mwasi na ngai, mpo na kosala ete kombo na ye etikala na libula na ye, ete ebunga te kati na bandeko na ye mpe kati na buku ya leta ya engumba na ye. Bino bozali batatoli na yango lelo.
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 thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:
Boye, bampaka mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na ekuke ya engumba balobaki: — Iyo, biso moko tozali batatoli. Tika ete Yawe akomisa mwasi oyo azali koya na ndako na yo, lokola Rasheli mpe Lea, oyo batongaki elongo libota ya Isalaele. Tika ete okoma moto monene kati na Efrata mpe moto ya lokumu kati na Beteleemi!
12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
Tika ete bakitani oyo Yawe akopesa yo na nzela ya elenge mwasi oyo, bakomisa ndako na yo lokola ndako ya Peretsi oyo Tamari abotelaki Yuda!
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son.
Boye, Boazi akamataki Rite mpe abalaki ye. Sima na Boazi kosangisa na ye nzoto, Yawe asalelaki Rite ngolu: azwaki zemi mpe abotaki mwana mobali.
14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
Basi balobaki na Naomi: « Tika ete Yawe akumisama; Ye oyo, na mokolo ya lelo, atiki yo te kozanga mosikoli oyo kombo na ye ekokende sango kati na Isalaele!
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
Akoyeisa bomoi na yo sika mpe akosunga yo na kimobange na yo, pamba te bokilo na yo, oyo alingaka yo mpe azali na motuya na miso na yo koleka bana mibali sambo, aboteli yo mwana mobali. »
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
Naomi azwaki mwana, atiaki ye na tolo na ye mpe akomaki mama mobokoli na ye.
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.
Basi ya mboka wana balobaki: « Naomi aboti mwana mobali! » Bapesaki mwana mobali yango kombo « Obedi. » Obedi abotaki Izayi, mpe Izayi abotaki Davidi.
18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Tala libota ya Peretsi: Peretsi abotaki Etsironi,
19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
Etsironi abotaki Rami, Rami abotaki Aminadabi,
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Aminadabi abotaki Nashoni, Nashoni abotaki Salima,
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Salima abotaki Boazi, Boazi abotaki Obedi,
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Obedi abotaki Izayi, Izayi abotaki Davidi.
