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.
Bòz ale nan pòtay lavil la, kote moun yo konn reyini an, epi li chita. Lè sa a, yon moun vin ap pase. Se te nèg ki te fanmi Elimelèk pi pre pase l' la, nonm Bòz t'ap pale Rit la. Bòz rele l', li di l': -Entèl, vini m' pale ou, monchè! Chita non! Nonm lan al jwenn li, li chita.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
Bòz fè rele dis nan chèf fanmi lavil la, li fè yo chita la tou. Lè yo fin chita,
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:
li di nonm ki te fanmi pre Elimelèk la: -Naomi tounen soti nan peyi Moab. Koulye a, li ta vle vann jaden ki te pou Elimelèk, fanmi nou an.
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.
Mwen kwè se devwa m' pou m' fè ou konnen sa. Si ou vle achte tè a, ou mèt di l' devan dis mesye chèf yo ki chita la a, paske se ou menm an premye lalwa rekonèt dwa sa a. Konsa tou, si ou pa vle, ou mèt di l', paske apre ou, se mwen menm ki gen dwa sa a. Nonm lan di l': -M'ap achte l'.
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.
Lè sa a Bòz di l': -Bon. Mwen byen kontan. Men, si ou achte jaden an nan men Naomi ak Rit, ti fanm peyi Moab la, vèv pitit Elimelèk la, se pou Rit vin madanm ou tou pou non fanmi defen an pa pèdi, epi pou tè a ka rete nan fanmi defen an tou.
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.
Lè sa a, nonm lan reponn: -Si se konsa, mwen p'ap ka achte tè a. Paske, si m' achte l', pitit mwen riske pèdi nan sa m'ap kite pou yo a. Ou mèt achte l' ou menm. Mwen p'ap fè zafè a ankò.
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.
Nan tan sa a, nan peyi Izrayèl, lè yon moun pase dwa li genyen pou achte osinon pou twoke yon tè bay yon lòt moun, men sa yo te konn fè: Moun ki te gen dwa a wete yon grenn sapat nan pye l', li bay lòt moun lan li. Se konsa moun Izrayèl yo te konn fè tout moun konnen zafè a te regle nèt.
8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
Se poutèt sa, lè nonm lan di Bòz ou mèt achte tè a, li wete yon grenn sapat nan pye l', li lonje l' bay Bòz.
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.
Lè sa a, Bòz di chèf fanmi yo ak lòt moun yo ki te la a: -Nou tout nou temwen, pa vre! Jòdi a, yo ban m' dwa achte nan men Naomi tou sa ki te pou Elimelèk ak de pitit gason l' yo, Maklon ak Kiljon.
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.
An menm tan tou, yo ban m' dwa pran Rit, vèv Maklon an, pou madanm mwen. Konsa, tè a va rete nan fanmi defen an: Non defen an p'ap pèdi non plis nan lavil la. N'a sèvi m' temwen pou sa ki rive jòdi a.
11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Yhwh 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:
Chèf yo ak lòt moun yo di l': -Wi, nou temwen. N'ap lapriyè Seyè a pou madanm sa a, ki pral antre lakay ou a, tankou Rachèl ak Leya ki te fè anpil pitit pou Jakòb, zansèt pèp Izrayèl la. Se pou ou vin rich anpil nan branch fanmi Efrat la. Se pou ou gen bon repitasyon nan lavil Betleyèm.
12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which Yhwh shall give thee of this young woman.
Se pou pitit Seyè a va ba ou ak jenn fanm sa a fè onè fanmi an, menm jan Perèz, pitit gason Jida ak Tama a, te fè l' pou fanmi l'.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, Yhwh gave her conception, and she bare a son.
Se konsa, Bòz pran Rit pou madanm li. Seyè a te beni Rit. Rit vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason.
14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be Yhwh, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
Medam lavil yo di Naomi konsa: -Lwanj pou Seyè a! Jòdi a li ba ou yon pitit gason ki pral pran swen ou. N'ap lapriyè pou ti gason sa a kite non l' nan peyi Izrayèl la.
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.
Bèlfi ou la gen tan renmen ou. Li fè pou ou sa sèt pitit gason pa ta ka fè. Koulye a, li ba ou yon pitit pitit ki pral fè ou anvi viv ankò, yon pitit gason ki pral tounen baton vyeyès ou.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
Naomi pran ti bebe a, li kenbe l' lakay li, li pran swen li tankou pitit li.
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.
Medam yo ki rete nan vwazinaj la rele ti gason an Obèd. Yo mache di tout moun: Naomi gen yon lòt pitit gason. Se Obèd sa a ki pita vin gen yon pitit gason yo te rele Izayi, Izayi sa a ki te papa David.
18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Men non zansèt David yo depi Perèz: Perèz te papa Ezwon,
19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
Ezwon te papa Ram. Ram te papa Aminadad,
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Aminadad te papa Nachon. Nachon te papa Salmon,
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Salmon te papa Bòz. Bòz te papa Obèd,
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Obèd te papa Izayi, epi Izayi te papa David.
