< Ruth 4 >

1 Now, Boaz, went up to the gate, and sat him down there, and lo! the kinsman, passing by, of whom Boaz had spoken, so he said—Turn aside! and sit down here, such a one! And he turned aside, and sat down.
Boaz el som nu in acn in toeni ke mutunpot in siti uh ac muta we. Na mwet se ma Boaz el fahk mu fototo oemeet nu sel Elimelech ah fahsryak, na Boaz el pangnol ac fahk nu sel, “Mwet kawuk luk, fahsru ac muta in se inge.” Na mwet sac som ac pituki yorol.
2 Then fetched he ten men of the elders of the city, and said—Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
Na Boaz el eis singoul sin mwet kol in siti sac ac fahk elos in wi pac muta insac. Ke elos pituki,
3 Then said he to the kinsman, The parcel of land that was our brother Elimelech’s, is to be disposed of by Naomi, who hath returned out of the country of Moab;
el fahk nu sin sou se lal ah, “Inge ke Naomi el foloko liki acn Moab uh, el ke kitala ipin acn se lal Elimelech, sou se lasr ah,
4 and, I, thought, I would unveil thine ear, saying—Take it over in presence of such as are here seated, and in presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt act as kinsman, act as kinsman, but, if thou wilt not so act, only tell me—that I may know, for there is none who can set thee aside as kinsman, but, I, am after thee. And he said, I, will act as kinsman.
ac nga mu sahp kom ac enenu in etu. Inge, kom fin lungse, kom enenu in molela ye mutun mwet ma muta inge. A kom fin tia lungse, kom akkalemye, mweyen ma lom pa suwohs in molela uh oasr se meet likiyu.” Na mwet sac fahk ouinge, “Nga ac molela.”
5 Then said Boaz, What day thou takest over the land from the hand of Naomi, also, of Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, dost thou take [it], to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
Na Boaz el mu, “Wona, kom fin ac moli acn sac kom ac enenu in molella pac Ruth, mutan Moab sac, ipin acn sac in mau oanna sin sou lun mwet se ma misa ah.”
6 Then said the kinsman—I cannot act as kinsman for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance, —do, thou, for thyself act as kinsman in my right, for I cannot so redeem.
Na mwet sac fahk, “Fin ouingan, nga ac tari kitala suwohs se luk in molela acn sacn, mweyen kalmac uh pa tulik nutik sifacna uh ac tia ku in usrui acn sacn. Molela kom. Tari nga ac tila eis.”
7 Now, this aforetime, [was the way] in Israel, at a redeeming, and at an exchanging, to confirm every word: A man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour, —yea, this, was the way of taking to witness, in Israel.
Ouinge ma orek in pacl sac ah, in orala ayaol ke acn ku in molela sie ipin acn, mwet se ma ac kitala acn uh enenu in sarukla fahluk lal uh ac sang nu sin mwet se ma ac molela acn sac uh. Ouiya se inge fin orekla, na mwet Israel uh ac etu lah oasr ma orekla ke ipin acn sacn.
8 So the kinsman said unto Boaz, Take it over for thyself, —and he drew off his shoe.
Ouinge ke mwet sac fahk nu sel Boaz, “Molela kom,” el sarukla fahluk lal ah, ac sang nu sel Boaz.
9 Then said Boaz to the elders, and all the people—Witnesses, are ye to-day, that I have taken over all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s, and Mahlon’s, —from the hand of Naomi:
Na Boaz el fahk nu sin mwet kol inge ac mwet sayalos su wi muta in acn sac, “Kowos nukewa mwet loh kac misenge lah nga molela nu sel Naomi ma nukewa lal Elimelech, ac wen luo natul, Chilion ac Mahlon.
10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, have I taken over, 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 dwelling- place, —Witnesses, are ye to-day!
Sayen ma inge, Ruth, mutan Moab se kial Mahlon ah, ac tufah mutan kiuk. Ma se inge ac fah oru tuh acn lun mwet se ma misa in oanna in sou lal uh in nien muta lalos uh. Kowos mwet loh nu ke ma inge misenge.”
11 Then said all the people who were in the gate, and the elders—Witnesses!, —Yahweh grant the woman who is coming into thy house, to be as Rachel, and as Leah, which two of them did build the house of Israel. Do thou bravely, then, in Ephrathah, and proclaim thou a name in Bethlehem,
Na mwet kol ac mwet saya ma wi muta insac ah fahk, “Aok, kut mwet loh kac. Lela LEUM GOD Elan oru tuh mutan se kiom ingan in oana Rachel ac Leah, su oswela tulik pukanten natul Jacob. Finsrak kom in ku in kasrup in sruf Ephrath ac pwengpeng in acn Bethlehem.
12 And let thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bare to Judah, —of the seed which—may Yahweh give thee, of this young woman.
Lela tulik nutum ma LEUM GOD El ac sot nu sum sin mutan fusr se kiom ingan in oru tuh sou lom an in oana sou lal Perez, wen natul Judah ac Tamar.”
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in unto her, —and Yahweh granted her conception, and she bare a son.
Ouinge Boaz el usal Ruth som nu lohm sel tuh elan mutan kial. LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal, ac el pitutuyak ac oswela tulik mukul se.
14 Then said the women unto Naomi, Blessed, be Yahweh! who hath not let thee fail of a kinsman to-day, —and may his name, be proclaimed, in Israel;
Na mutan in acn sac fahk nu sel Naomi, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD! El asot nu sum sie wen misenge in karingin kom. Lela tuh tulik sacn in pwengpeng fin Israel!
15 So shall he become a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age, —for, thy daughter-in-law who loveth thee, hath borne him, even, she, who is better to thee than seven sons.
Acn talupom el lungse kom, ac oru ma wowo pus nu sum yohk liki ma wen itkosr ku in oru. Ac inge el asot nu sum sie wen, su ac fah asot moul sasu nu sum ac akwoye moul lom ke pacl kom ac matuoh.”
16 So Naomi took the boy, and laid him in her bosom, and she became his nurse.
Naomi el srukak tulik sac, sruokilya nu iniwal, ac karinganulang.
17 And the women, her neighbours, gave him a name, saying, There is born a son to Naomi, —So they called his name Obed, he, was, the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Mutan in acn sac sang inen tulik sac Obed. Ac elos fahk nu sin mwet nukewa lah, “Wen se isusyang nu sel Naomi!” Obed el papa tumal Jesse, su papa tumal David.
18 These, then, are the generations of Perez: Perez, begat, Hezron;
Pa inge takin sou sac wal Perez nwe kacl David: Perez papa tumal Hezron,
19 And, Hezron, begat, Ram, and, Ram, begat, Amminadab;
Hezron papa tumal Ram, Ram papa tumal Amminadab,
20 And, Amminadab, begat Nahshon, and, Nahshon, begat, Salmon,
Amminadab papa tumal Nahshon, Nahshon papa tumal Salmon,
21 And, Salmon, begat, Boaz, and, Boaz, begat, Obed;
Salmon papa tumal Boaz, Boaz papa tumal Obed,
22 And, Obed, begat, Jesse, and, Jesse, begat, David.
Obed papa tumal Jesse, ac Jesse papa tumal David.
