< Ruth 4 >

1 And Boaz has gone up to the gate, and sits there, and behold, the redeemer is passing by of whom Boaz had spoken, and he says, “Turn aside, sit down here, such a one, such a one”; and he turns aside and sits down.
Ie amy zay, nionjom-ban-dalambey mb’eo t’i Boaze le niam­besatse vaho inge niary eo i longo-mpijebañe nisaontsie’ i Boazey, le hoe re tama’e, O, koahe! miviha, miambesara etoa. Aa le nivike mb’eo re niambesatse.
2 And he takes ten men from [the] elderly of the city, and says, “Sit down here”; and they sit down.
Nedre’e amy zao ty androanavy folo’ i rovay vaho natao’e ty hoe: Miambesara atoy. Le niambesatse iereo.
3 And he says to the redeemer, “A portion of the field which [is] to our brother, to Elimelech, has Naomi sold, who has come back from the fields of Moab;
Le hoe re amy longo-mpijebañey: Fa nivotrak’ atoy t’i Noomie boak’an-tane-Moabe añe, le fa haleta’e ty tane’ i Elimeleke rahalahin-tikañey,
4 and I said, I uncover your ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants and before [the] elderly of my people; if you redeem—redeem, and if none redeems—declare [it] to me and I know, for there is none except you to redeem, and I after you.” And he says, “I redeem [it].”
le nataoko ho soa ty hampiboahako ama’o, ami’ ty hoe; Kalò añatrefa’ o miambesatse etoañeo aolo’ o androanavi’ ondatikoo. Aa naho ho jebañe’o le jebaño; fa naho tsy hijebañañe le saontsio, ho fantako; fa tsy eo ty hijebañe aze naho tsy ihe; le izaho ty manonjohy. Le hoe re: Ho jebañeko.
5 And Boaz says, “In the day of your buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, you have bought [it], to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance.”
Aa hoe t’i Boaze: Amy andro ivilia’o am-pità’ i Noomie i taney, tsy ho nikaloe’o ka hao t’i Rote nte Moabe, vali’ i nihomakey, hampitroara’o amy lova’ey ty tahina’ i nivilasiy?
6 And the redeemer says, “I am not able to redeem [it] for myself, lest I destroy my inheritance; redeem for yourself—you—my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.”
Aa hoe i longo-mpijebañey, Tsy lefeko ty hijebañe aze ho ahiko, tsy mone hampiantoeko ty lovako; aa le rambeso ty zom-pijebañañe; fa tsy meteko ty hijebañe aze.
7 And this [is] formerly in Israel for redemption and for exchanging, to establish anything: a man has drawn off his sandal, and given [it] to his neighbor, and this [is] the Testimony in Israel.
Zao ty nililitse taolo e Israele ao t’ie nanao fijebañañe ndra fanakaloañe, hañatò ze he’e: Afaha’ t’indaty ty hana’e vaho atolo’e am’ondatio; izay ty fitaliliañe e Israele ao.
8 And the redeemer says to Boaz, “Buy [it] for yourself,” and draws off his sandal.
Aa ie nanao ty hoe amy Boaze i longo-mpijebañey: Vilio ho azo, le nafaha’e i hana’ey.
9 And Boaz says to the elderly, and [to] all the people, “You [are] witnesses today that I have bought all that [belonged] to Elimelech, and all that [belonged] to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi;
Le hoe ty enta’ i Boaze amo androanavio: Valolombeloñe nahareo androany te viniliko am-pità’ i Noomie ze a i Elimeleke iaby naho ze hene vara’ i Kiliona naho i Malone,
10 and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place; witnesses you [are] today.”
mbore fa mandrambe i Rote nte Moabe, vali’ i Maklone, ho valiko hampitroarako an-dova’e ty tahina’ i nihomakey, tsy havitsok’ amo rahalahi’eo, ndra an-dalambey i toe’ey ty tahina’ i nihoma­key. Valolombeloñe nahareo henane zao.
11 And all the people who [are] in the gate say—also the elderly, “Witnesses! YHWH makes the woman who is coming to your house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and you do virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the name in Beth-Lehem;
Aa le songa nanao ty hoe o androanavy naho ondaty an-dalambeio, Eka, valolombeloñe zahay. Ehe te hampanahafe’ Iehovà amy Rakele naho i Leàe i rakemba niheo añ’anjomba’oy, i roe nandranjy ty anjomba’ Israele rey; hanarànake e Efratà irehe vaho hanan-tahinañe e Betlekheme ao;
12 and let your house be as the house of Perez (whom Tamar bore to Judah), of the seed which YHWH gives to you of this young woman.”
le ee te ho hambañe amy anjomba’ i Peretse nasama’ i Tamare ho a Ieho­dày, i tiry hatolo’ Iehovà azo añamy rakemba tora’eiy.
13 And Boaz takes Ruth, and she becomes his wife, and he goes in to her, and YHWH gives conception to her, and she bears a son.
Aa le nengae’ i Boaze t’i Rote, ie ty tañ’anjomba’e; aa ie nimoak’ ama’e le nampiareñe’ Iehovà vaho nahatoly ana-dahy.
14 And the women say to Naomi, “Blessed [is] YHWH who has not let a redeemer cease to you today, and his name is proclaimed in Israel,
Le hoe o rakembao amy Noomie: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, te tsy nifarie’e tsy ho amam-pijeban-drehe, lonike te ho arofoanañe e Israele ao ty tahina’e.
15 and he has been to you for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law who has loved you—who is better to you than seven sons—has borne him.”
T’ie ho fampisotrafen-kavelo’o, hameloñe ty haantera’o; fa toe lombolombo’ ty ana-dahy fito i vinanto’o mikoko azo nisamak’ azey.
16 And Naomi takes the boy, and lays him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse;
Aa le rinambe’ i Noomie i anak’ ajajay naho notroñe’e añ’araña’e eo, vaho ie ty nimpampinono aze.
17 and the neighboring women give a name to him, saying, “There has been a son born to Naomi,” and they call his name Obed; he [is] father of Jesse, father of David.
Le o rakemba rañe’eo ro nañomey aze ty añara’e, ami’ty hoe: Nahatoly ana-dahy t’i Noomie; le natao’ iereo Ovede; ie ty rae’ Iisaý, rae’ i Davide.
18 And these are generations of Perez: Perez begot Hezron,
Zao o tarira’ i Pèretseo; nisa­make i Ketsrone t’i Pèretse;
19 and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminidab,
le nisamake i Rame t’i Ketsrone; le nisa­make i Aminadabe t’Rame;
20 and Amminidab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
le nisamake i Naksone t’i Aminadabe, naho nisamake i Salmà t’i Naksone
21 and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
le nisamake i Boaze t’i Salmà; vaho nisamake i Ovede t’i Boaze,
22 and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
le nisamake Iisaý t’i Ovede, le nisamahe’ Iisaý t’i Davide.
