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.
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 Then fetched he ten men of the elders of the city, and said—Sit ye down here. And 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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 kinsman said unto Boaz, Take it over for thyself, —and he drew off his shoe.
Na ka mea taua whanaunga ki a Poaha, Mau e hoko. A unuhia ake e ia tona hu.
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 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, 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!
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 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 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 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.
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 unto her, —and Yahweh granted her conception, and she bare 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 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 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 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.
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 So Naomi took the boy, and laid him in her bosom, and she became his nurse.
Na ka tango a Naomi i taua tamaiti, a whakatakotoria ana ki tona uma, a ko ia hei kaihikihiki mona.
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.
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 These, then, are the generations of Perez: Perez, begat, Hezron;
Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Parete: na Parete ko Heterono.
19 And, Hezron, begat, Ram, and, Ram, begat, Amminadab;
Na Heterono ko Rame: na Rame ko Aminarapa,
20 And, Amminadab, begat Nahshon, and, Nahshon, begat, Salmon,
Na Aminarapa ko Nahahona: na Nahahona ko Haramono,
21 And, Salmon, begat, Boaz, and, Boaz, begat, Obed;
Na Haramono ko Poaha: na Poaha ko Opere,
22 And, Obed, begat, Jesse, and, Jesse, begat, David.
Na Opere ko Hehe: na Hehe ko Rawiri.
