< 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.
Boʼeez gara karra magaalaatti baʼee achi taaʼe. Innis yommuu namichi dhaaluuf isa caalaa fira dhiʼoo taʼe sun dhufetti, “Yaa michuu ko, as kottuutii na bira taaʼi” jedheen. Kanaafuu inni dhaqee taaʼe.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
Boʼeezis maanguddoota magaalaa keessaa kudhan waamee, “As taaʼaa” jedheen; isaanis ni tataaʼan.
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:
Kana irratti namicha dhaaluuf aantummaa qabu sanaan akkana jedhe; “Naaʼomiin isheen Moʼaabii deebite sun lafa obboleessa keenya Eliimelek gurguruuf jirti.
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].
Kanaafuu akka ati fuula warra as tataaʼaniitii fi fuula maanguddoota saba kootii duratti lafa kana bittuuf ani waan kana sitti himuu yaade. Yoo ofii keetiif dhaaluu barbaadde dhaali. Yoo dhaaluu baatte garuu akka ani beekuuf natti himi. Waan kana gochuuf si malee namni mirga qabu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii; namni sitti aanee aantummaa qabu ana.” Namichis, “Ani nan dhaala” jedhe.
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.
Boʼeezis, “Egaa gaafa Naaʼomiinii fi Ruuti Moʼaabittii irraa lafa bittutti ati maqaa namicha duʼe sanaa qabeenya isaatiin waamsisuudhaaf niitii isaa illee fudhachuu qabda” jedheen.
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].
Kana irratti firri dhiʼoo sun, “Yoos ani qabeenya mataa kootti rakkina fiduu dandaʼaatii dhaaluu hin dandaʼu. Ati mataan kee mirga dhaaluu kootii fudhadhuutii dhaali. Ani waan kana gochuu hin dandaʼu” jedheen.
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.
Bara durii biyya Israaʼeliitti dhaalaa fi qabeenya walitti dabarsuun gareen tokko kophee isaa of irraa baasee garee kaaniif kennuudhaan mirkaneeffama ture. Israaʼel keessatti bituu fi gurguruun haaluma kanaan mirkaneeffama ture.
8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy [it] for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
Kanaafuu namichi dhaaluuf fira dhiʼoo ture sun Boʼeeziin, “Ati mataan kee bitadhu” jedhee kophee of irraa baase.
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.
Boʼeezis maanguddootaa fi saba hundaan akkana jedhe; “Akka ani qabeenya Eliimelek, qabeenya Kiliiyooniitii fi qabeenya Mahiloon hunda Naaʼomiin irraa bite isin harʼa dhugaa baatota.
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.
Akkasumas akka maqaan isaa maatii isaa keessaa yookaan biyya isaa keessaa hin badneef ani qabeenya isaatiin maqaa isaa waamsisuudhaaf Ruuti Moʼaabittii niitii Mahiloon kana niitii godhadhee fuudhuu kootiif isin harʼa dhugaa baatota!”
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:
Maanguddoonnii fi namoonni karra sana dura turan hundinuu akkana jedhan; “Nu dhugaa baatota. Waaqayyo dubartii mana kee dhufaa jirtu kana akka Raahelii fi Liyaa warra tokkummaadhaan mana Israaʼel ijaaran sanaa haa godhu. Ati Efraataa keessatti nama jabaa, Beetlihem keessatti immoo beekamaa taʼi.
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.
Karaa sanyii Waaqayyo dubartii dargaggeettii kana irraa siif kennuutiin maatiin kee akkuma maatii Faares isa Taamaar Yihuudaadhaaf deesse sanaa haa taʼu.”
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.
Kanaafuu Boʼeez Ruutin fudhatee niitii godhate. Ishee wajjinis ciise; Waaqayyos akka isheen ulfooftee ilma deessu ishee gargaare.
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.
Dubartoonnis Naaʼomiiniin akkana jedhan; “Waaqayyo inni nama si dhaalu si hin dhabsiisin sun haa eebbifamu. Guutummaa Israaʼel keessattis inni maqaa haa qabaatu!
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.
Innis jireenya kee ni haaromsa; bara dulluma keetiittis si soora. Niitiin ilma keetii isheen si jaallattu kan ilmaan torba siif caaltu sun isa deesseertiitii.”
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
Naaʼomiinis mucicha fuutee hammatte; guddiftuu isaa illee taate.
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.
Dubartoonni ollaas, “Naaʼomiin mucaa argatte” jedhan. Maqaa isaas Oobeedi jedhan. Inni akaakayyuu Daawit, abbaa Isseey.
18 Now these [are] the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Egaa hiddi dhaloota Faares kanaa dha: Faares abbaa Hezroon;
19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
Hezroon immoo abbaa Raam; Raam abbaa Amiinaadaab;
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Amiinaadaab immoo abbaa Nahishoon; Nahishoon abbaa Salmoon;
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Salmoon immoo abbaa Boʼeez; Boʼeez immoo abbaa Oobeedi;
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Oobeedi immoo abbaa Isseey; Isseey immoo abbaa Daawit.
