< Ruth 4 >

1 But Bo'az went up to the gate, and sat down there; and, behold, the kinsman of whom Bo'az had spoken came passing by; and he said unto him, Turn aside hither, sit down here, such a one. 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, Na'omi, that is returned out of the field of Moab, hath to sell 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 inform thee of it, saying, Buy it before those sitting here, 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 beside thee to redeem it, 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 Bo'az, On the day that thou buyest the field out of the hand of Na'omi, thou buyest it also from 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 am not able to redeem it for myself, lest I injure my own inheritance: redeem thou what I should redeem for thyself; for I am not able to 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 formerly the custom in Israel at a redeeming and at an exchanging, to confirm any thing, that a man pulled off his shoe, and gave it to the other; and this was the manner of 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 Thereupon said the kinsman unto Bo'az, Buy it for thee. And he pulled off his shoe.
Mosikoli alobaki na Boazi: — Yo moko somba yango. Boye, alongolaki sapatu na ye.
9 And Bo'az said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that belonged to Elimelech, and all that belonged to Kilyon and Machlon, out of the hand of Na'omi.
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 And also Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Machlon, have I obtained for myself as my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be 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 grant that the woman that is coming into thy house be like Rachel and like Leah, who did both build up the house of Israel: and acquire thou wealth in Ephrathah, and let thy name become famous in Beth-lechem;
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 may thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Thamar bore unto Judah, through the seed which the Lord will 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 And Bo'az took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in unto her: and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore 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 Na'omi, Blessed be the Lord, who hath not allowed to be wanting unto thee a kinsman this day: and may his name become 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 may he be unto thee one who refresheth thy soul, and who nourisheth thy old age; for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, hath born him, she who is better to thee than seven sons.
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 Na'omi took the child, and laid it in her lap, and she became a nurse unto it.
Naomi azwaki mwana, atiaki ye na tolo na ye mpe akomaki mama mobokoli na ye.
17 And the neighboring women gave him a name, saying, There hath been a son born unto Na'omi: and they called his name 'Obed, who 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 And these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Chezron;
Tala libota ya Peretsi: Peretsi abotaki Etsironi,
19 And Chezron begat Ram; and Ram begat 'Amminadab;
Etsironi abotaki Rami, Rami abotaki Aminadabi,
20 And 'Amminadab begat Nachshon; and Nachshon begat Salmah;
Aminadabi abotaki Nashoni, Nashoni abotaki Salima,
21 And Salmon begat Bo'az; and Bo'az begat 'Obed;
Salima abotaki Boazi, Boazi abotaki Obedi,
22 And 'Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Obedi abotaki Izayi, Izayi abotaki Davidi.
