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.
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 Then fetched he 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 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;
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, 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 So the kinsman said unto Boaz, Take it over for thyself, —and he drew off his shoe.
Mosikoli alobaki na Boazi: — Yo moko somba yango. Boye, alongolaki sapatu na ye.
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:
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 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!
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 So Naomi took the boy, and laid him in her bosom, and she became his nurse.
Naomi azwaki mwana, atiaki ye na tolo na ye mpe akomaki mama mobokoli na ye.
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.
Basi ya mboka wana balobaki: « Naomi aboti mwana mobali! » Bapesaki mwana mobali yango kombo « Obedi. » Obedi abotaki Izayi, mpe Izayi abotaki Davidi.
18 These, then, are the generations of Perez: Perez, begat, Hezron;
Tala libota ya Peretsi: Peretsi abotaki Etsironi,
19 And, Hezron, begat, Ram, and, Ram, begat, Amminadab;
Etsironi abotaki Rami, Rami abotaki Aminadabi,
20 And, Amminadab, begat Nahshon, and, Nahshon, begat, Salmon,
Aminadabi abotaki Nashoni, Nashoni abotaki Salima,
21 And, Salmon, begat, Boaz, and, Boaz, begat, Obed;
Salima abotaki Boazi, Boazi abotaki Obedi,
22 And, Obed, begat, Jesse, and, Jesse, begat, David.
Obedi abotaki Izayi, Izayi abotaki Davidi.
