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.
Na ka haere a Poaha ki te kuwaha, a noho ana i reira; na ko te whanaunga tata i korerotia ra e Poaha e haere ana. Katahi tera ka mea atu, E! ko koe tonu ia! peka mai nei ki konei noho ai. Na ka peka atu ia, a noho ana.
2 He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here." They sat down.
Na ka tikina e ia etahi tangata o nga kaumatua o te pa, kotahi tekau, a ka mea, E noho ki konei. Na noho ana ratou.
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.
Na ka mea ia ki taua whanaunga tata, E hokona ana e Naomi, i haere mai nei i te whenua o Moapa, te wahi o te mara i to tatou tuakana, i a Erimereke:
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."
Na ka whakaaro ahau, me whakaatu ki a koe, me te ki atu, Mau e hoko i te aroaro o nga tangata e noho nei, i te aroaro ano hoki o nga kaumatua o toku iwi. Ki te hokona e koe, hokona: a ki te kahore e hokona, korerotia mai ki ahau, kia mohio ai aha u: kahore hoki he tangata hei hoko, ko koe anake, a ko ahau to muri i a koe. Na ka mea tera, Maku e hoko.
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."
Katahi a Poaha ka mea, A te ra e hoko ai koe i te mara i te ringa o Naomi, e hoko ana hoki koe i a Rutu, i taua Moapi, i te wahine a te tupapaku, hei whakaara ingoa ake mo te tupapaku ki tona wahi tupu.
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."
Na ka mea taua whanaunga tata, E kore e taea te hoko e ahau maku; kei he toku kainga tupu: mau taku hokonga e hoko; e kore hoki e taea te hoko e ahau.
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.
Na, i mua ko te tikanga tenei i roto i a Iharaira mo nga hoko mai ano, mo nga whakawhiti, hei whakau mo nga mea katoa; unuhia ai e tetahi tona hu a ka hoatu ki tona hoa: a hei kaiwhakaatu tena i roto i a Iharaira.
8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." And he took off his sandal and gave it to him.
Na ka mea taua whanaunga ki a Poaha, Mau e hoko. A unuhia ake e ia tona hu.
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.
Na ka mea a Poaha ki nga kaumatua ratou ko te iwi katoa, He kaititiro koutou i tenei ra ki taku hokonga mai i nga mea katoa a Erimereke, i nga mea katoa ano a Kiriono, a Maharono, i roto i te ringa o Naomi;
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."
Me Rutu Moapi hoki me te wahine a Maharono, kua hokona mai ia e ahau hei wahine maku, hei whakaara ingoa ake mo te tupapaku ki tona kainga tupu, kei hautopea atu te ingoa o te tupapaku i roto i ona teina, i te kuwaha ano o tona wahi; ko koutou n ga kaititiro i tenei ra.
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.
Na ka mea nga tangata katoa i te kuwaha, ratou ko nga kaumatua, He kaititiro matou. Ma Ihowa e mea tena wahine e hare mai na ki tou whare kia rite ki a Rahera raua ko Rea, na raua nei i tu ai te whare o Iharaira: kia nui ano hoki tau mahi i Epar ata, kia whai ingoa koe i Peterehema:
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."
Hei te whare o Parete, whanau a Tamara raua ko Hura, te rite mo tou whare, ara mo te uri e homai e Ihowa ki a koe i roto i tenei kotiro.
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.
Na ka tango a Poaha i a Rutu, a waiho iho ia hei wahine mana: na ka tae atu ia ki a ia, a ka meinga e Ihowa kia hapu; na kua whanau tana tama.
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.
Na ka mea nga wahine ki a Naomi, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, kihai nei i waiho i a koe i tenei ra kia hapa i tetahi whanaunga tata: kia rangona ano tona ingoa i roto i a Iharaira.
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."
Mana hoki tou wairua e whakahoki ake, ko ia hoki hei atawahi mo tou ruruhitanga: he whanau hoki ia na tau hunaonga e aroha nei ki a koe, he nui ke nei tona pai ki a koe i to nga tama tokowhitu.
16 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and looked after him.
Na ka tango a Naomi i taua tamaiti, a whakatakotoria ana ki tona uma, a ko ia hei kaihikihiki mona.
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.
Na huaina ana he ingoa mona e nga wahine e noho tata ana; i mea ratou, Kua whanau tetahi tamaiti ma Naomi; na huaina ana e ratou tona ingoa ko Opere. Ko te papa tenei o Hehe, papa o Rawiri.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Parete: na Parete ko Heterono.
19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
Na Heterono ko Rame: na Rame ko Aminarapa,
20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
Na Aminarapa ko Nahahona: na Nahahona ko Haramono,
21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
Na Haramono ko Poaha: na Poaha ko Opere,
22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
Na Opere ko Hehe: na Hehe ko Rawiri.
