< Ruth 4 >

1 Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. Look, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, "Come over here, friend, and sit down." He turned aside, and sat down.
A LAILA pii aku la o Boaza i ka puka pa, a noho iho la ilaila; aia hoi, hele ae la ka hoahanau a Boaza i olelo ai. I aku la keia ia ia, E, o mea, e huli mai oe, a e noho iho maanei. Huli mai la ia a noho iho la.
2 He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here." They sat down.
Lawe ae la ia i na lunakahiko o ke kulanakauhale he umi, i aku la, E noho mai oukou maanei; a noho mai la lakou.
3 He said to the near kinsman, "Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's.
I aku la ia i ka hoahanau, O Naomi, ka mea i hoi mai, mai ka aina i Moaba mai, ke kuai nei oia i ka aina o ke kaikuana o kaua, o Elimeleka.
4 I thought to disclose it to you, saying, 'Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.' If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you." He said, "I will redeem it."
I iho la au, E hai aku no au ma kou pepeiao, me ka i ana aku, E kii aku oe imua o ke alo o na kanaka, a me na lunakahiko o ko'u poe kanaka. Ina i kuai oe, e kuai no, a i ole oe e kuai, e hai mai oe ia'u, i ike au; no ka mea, aole mea e ae nana e kuai, o oe wale no, a owau ka mea mahope ou. I mai la kela, E kuai no au.
5 Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi and from Ruth the Moabitess, you must also acquire the widow of the deceased, to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance."
I aku la o Boaza, I ka la au e kuai ai i ka aina ma ka lima o Naomi, ma o Ruta la no kekahi e kuai aku ai, ma ka wahine no Moaba, ka wahine a ka mea i make, i mea e mau ai ka inoa o ka mea i make ma kona hooilina.
6 The near kinsman said, "I can't redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can't redeem it."
Olelo mai la ka hoahanau, Aole hiki ia'u ke kuai no'u iho, o hoolilo auanei au i ko'u hooilina. Nau no e kuai i ko'u kuleana nou, no ka mea, aole hiki ia'u ke kuai.
7 Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of attestation in Israel.
Eia ko ka aoao kahiko o ka Iseraela ma ke kuai ana, a me ka hoonohonoho hou ana, i paa na mea a pau. Wehe ke kanaka i kona kamaa, a haawi ae la i kona hoalauna, i mea e hoike ai iwaena o ka Iseraela.
8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." And he took off his sandal and gave it to him.
Olelo mai la ka hoahanau ia Boaza, E kuai oe nou iho; a wehe ae la ia i kona kamaa.
9 Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, "You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Kilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.
Olelo ae la o Boaza i na lunakahiko, a i na kanaka a pau, He poe ike oukou i keia la, ua kuai au ma ka lima o Naomi i na mea a pau o Elimeleka a me na mea a pau o Kiliona, a me Mahelona.
10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, that the name of the deceased may not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses this day."
A o Ruta no hoi, no Moaba ka wahine a Mahelona, ka'u i kuai nei, i wahine na'u, i mea e paa ai ka inoa o ka mea i make ma kona hoilina, i mea hoi e hooki ole ia'i ka inoa o ka mea i make, mai kona hoahanau aku, a mai kona wahi aku. He poe ike oukou i keia la.
11 All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May Jehovah make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
I mai la na kanaka a pau, ma ka puka pa, a me na lunakahiko, He poe ike makou. Na Iehova no e hoolilo mai i ka wahine i hele mai iloko o kou hale e like me Rahela a me Lea, na laua elua i kukulu i ka hale o ka Iseraela, a e waiwai hoi oe ma Eperata, a e kaulana no kou inoa ma Betelehema.
12 Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which Jehovah shall give you of this young woman."
E like hoi kou hale me ka hale o Pareza, ka mea a Tamara i hanau ai na Iuda, ma ke kauhua a Iehova e haawi mai ai ia oe na keia kaikamahine.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bore a son.
Lawe ae la o Boaza ia Ruta, a lilo mai ia i wahine nana. A i kona komo ana io na la, na Iehova i haawi mai i ka hapai ana, a hanau mai la ia, he keikikane.
14 The women said to Naomi, "Blessed be Jehovah, who has not left you this day without a redeemer; and let his name be famous in Israel.
I aku la na wahine ia Naomi, Ua pomaikai oe ia Iehova, ka mea i hoonele ole ia oe i ka hoahanau nou, i keia la, i kaulana kona inoa iloko o ka Iseraela.
15 He shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him."
Nana no e hoola hou aku ia oe, i kona malama ana ia oe, i kou wa e poohina ai; no ka mea, o kau hunonawahine, i hanau mai ia ia, nana oe i aloha aku, a ua oi aku kona maikai nou, mamua o na keikikane ehiku.
16 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and looked after him.
Lawe ae la o Naomi i ua keiki la, a waiho iho la ma kona poli, a lilo iho la ia i kahu nona.
17 The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi." And they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Kapa aku la kona poe hoalauna wahine i kona inoa, i ae la, Ua hanauia ke keikikane na Naomi; a kapa aku lakou i kona inoa, o Obeda; oia ka makuakane o Iese, o ka makuakane o Davida.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
Eia na hanauna o Pareza; na Pareza o Hezerona,
19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
Na Hezerona o Rama, na Rama o Aminadaba,
20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
Na Aminadaba o Nahasona, a na Nahasona o Salemona,
21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
Na Salemona o Boaza, a na Boaza o Obeda,
22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
Na Obeda o Iese, na Iese o Davida.
