Ruth 4
1 [Meanwhile], Boaz went up to the town gate and sat there. [That was the place where people met together to decide important matters]. When the man that Boaz had mentioned came there, the close relative of Ruth and Naomi’s dead husbands [who had a responsibility to take care of Naomi and Ruth], Boaz said to him, “My friend, come over here and sit down.” So the man went and sat down.
Boua: se e sia: sa: imusa: gilisibi sogebi amoga asili amola logo gadenene amogai esalu. Amogai esaloba amola Ilimelege ea gadenene fi dunu (bu bidi lasu fi dunu ilia da sia: su - da: i sia: da ‘kinsman-redeemer) amo mafiadalebe ba: i. Amola Boua: se ea e wele sia: i, “Na na: iyado! Di fila misa. Na da sia: fonobahadi sia: mu gala.” Amalalu, e da misini fi.
2 Boaz then gathered ten of the elders of the town and asked them to sit down [there also]. After they sat down,
Amanoba, Boua: se e bu bidi lasu dunu amo e da musa: sia: i ema amane sia: i, “Di gui fila misa.” Amanoba, e da misini bulagi.
3 he said to the man who had the responsibility to take care of Naomi, “Naomi has returned from Moab [region]. She wants to sell the field that belonged to our relative Elimelech.
Amalalu, Boua: se da moilai ouligisu dunu nabuane lale, Ilimelege ea bu bidi lasu fi dunu ema amane sia: i, “Na: ioumi da waha Moua: be soge yolesili, misi dagoi. E da ania sosogo fi dunu Ilimelege amo ea soge bidi lamu hanai galebe.
4 I thought that I should tell you about that, and suggest that you buy it, while these elders who are sitting here are listening. If you are willing to buy the property, do that. But if you do not want to buy it, tell me, so that I will know. I am suggesting this to you because you are the one who has the first right to buy it, and I am the one who has the second/next right to buy it.” The man replied, “I will buy it!”
Amaiba: le, na dima sia: be goea, be di hanai galea, goe soge di lama. Fada: i dunu nabuane agoane ilia dia sia: nabima: ne sia: ma. Be higa: i galea amo higa: i fawane sia: ma. Bai di da hanai galea, di da lamu defele gala. Be dia higasea, na da lamu defele gala.” Ilimelege ea bu bidi lasu fi dunu e da amane sia: i, “Na da lamu!”
5 Then Boaz told him, “When you buy the land from Naomi, you will also be taking Ruth, [the woman] who is from Moab, [to be your wife], in order that she may [give birth to a son who will] inherit the property of her dead husband [MTY].”
Boua: se e amane sia: i;, “Defeadafa! Be dia Na: ioumi ea soge lasea, di da Ludi (Moua: be uda didalo) amola bidiga lasa. Amasea, amo soge da bogoi ea sosogo fi amo ganodini dialumu.
6 Then the close relative [of Ruth’s dead husband] said, “[If that is so], I do not [want to] buy the field, because then my own [children] would not inherit the property; [Ruth’s children would inherit it]. You buy the property!”
Amanoba, bu bidi lasu fi dunu da amane sia: i, “Amai galea, na amola soge agoe bidiga lamu, be amo da agoane, na mano ilia soge hame galumu. Amaiba: le dia lama. Be Na da bu hame lamu.”
7 At that time, it was the custom in Israel, when a person bought property that belonged to another person, that the man who was selling the property would take off one of his sandals and give it to the one who was buying the property. That was the way they finalized sales in Israel.
Amo esoha ilia da hou agoane hamosu. Isala: ili ilia sia: sa: imusa: o bu afadenemusa: ilia amola da hou agoane hamosu. Dunu afae da ea emo salasu gisa: le, dunu eno igili iasu. Amo hou da Isala: ili fi dunu ilia hou. Ilia da bidi lasu hou ilegema: ne agoane hamosu.
8 So that close relative said to Boaz, “You buy the field yourself!” And he took off [one of] his sandals [and gave it to Boaz].
Amabeba: le, amola Ilimilege ea bu bidi lasu fi dunu da Boua: se ema amane sia: i, “Di bidiga lama!” E da ea emo salasu gisa: le amola Boua: sema i.
9 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the [other] people [who were there], “Today you have all seen that I have bought from Naomi all the property that belonged to [her dead husband] Elimelech and [his dead sons] Mahlon and Chilion.
Amalalu, Boua: se e dunu fada: i ilima amola oda esalebe dunu ilima amane adoi, “Dilia huluane ba: ma! Amola waha da na Na: ioumi ea soge amo Ilimelege amola ea mano Gilione amola Malone ilia soge, amo na bidiga lai dagoi.
10 I am also taking Ruth, [the woman] from Moab, Mahlon’s widow, to be my wife, in order that she may give birth to a son who will inherit the property of the dead man. In that way, Elimelech’s name will continue [LIT] among the members of his family and among all the people of this town. Today you all are witnesses [of what I have done].”
Amola na da sia: fonobahadi sia: mu gala. Na agoane dawa: Ludi e da na uda esalumu da defea. Ludi amo uda da Moua: be dunu fi amola Malone ea lai galu, be Malone e bogobeba: le yolesi. Na da Ludi lamu hanai galebe, amola Malone ea sosogo fi da ea soge gaguiwane dialumu. Amola egaga fi da ea fidafa amola ea moilaidafa amo ganodini fifi lamu. Amola amo hou hahamoi amo dili huluane ba: i ama.
11 All the elders and the [others] who were sitting at the [town] gate [agreed, and one of them] said, “[Yes, ] we are witnesses. We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable this woman, who will be coming into your home, to give birth to many children, as Rachel and Leah did. They are the women from whom all [us] people [MTY] of Israel are descended. We hope that you will become rich in the clan of Ephratah, and become famous [MTY] [here] in Bethlehem.
Dunu huluane ilia amane sia: i, “Defea! Amo ilegele hou ninia da ba: i dagoi.” Amola fada: i dunu huluane da amane sia: i, “Goe uda waha dia diasu ganodini misi, amo da Hina Gode amo Hi fawane da La: isele amola Lia elea esoa: fi Isala: ili fi ganodini hamoi defele ema hamomu. Ela da Ya: igobema mano bagohame lai. Ludi da ela defele hamomu da defea. Amola difawane da liligi bagade gagui agoane hamoma. Efala: de fi amo ganodini amola di da Bedeleheme moilai fi ganodini fada: i dunu agoane esaloma.
12 We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable you and this young woman to have many descendants. And we hope/desire that your family will be as important as the family of your ancestor Perez, the son of Judah and Tamar.”
Amola dia sosogo fi da bagadewane heda: mu da defea. Di da amo a: fini didalo lasea, Hina Gode da alima mano bagohame imunu da defea. Amasea, dia sosogo fi da Yuda amola Da: ima elea mano Bilese amo ea sosogo fi hamoi amo defele ba: mu.
13 So Boaz took Ruth [home], and she became his wife. He (slept with/had sexual relations with) her [EUP] and Yahweh enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
Amanoba Boua: se ea Ludi lale, ea diasuga oule asi. Be Hina Gode da ema hahawane dogolegele amola asigili hamobeba: le, e abula agui ba: i amola dunu mano lalelegei.
14 The women [of Bethlehem] said to Naomi, “Praise Yahweh! Now he has given [LIT] you a grandson who will be the one who will have the responsibility to take care of you. We hope that he will become famous [MTY] throughout Israel.
Uda ilia da misini, Na: ioumima amane sia: i, “Hahawane Hina Godema nodoma! E da waha dia aowa lalelegei amo da di ouligima: ne. Amola amo mano da Isala: ili fi amo ganodini gasa bagade esaluma: mu.
15 He will make you feel young again, and he will take care of you when you become old. Your daughter-in-law, who loves you, has given birth to a son, who will (be better to/do more for) you than [if you had] seven sons [of your own].”
Disoa: ea amola da dima asigisa amola ea dima fidisu hou da dunu mano fesuale gala ilia fidisu hou baligi dagoi. Amola e da wali dima aowa i dagoi. Amo da dia da: i hamobe amo ganodini e da di noga: le ouligimu.”
16 Then Naomi took the baby and put him on her lap, and took care of him.
Na: ioumi ea mano amo seba: le, amola noga: le fofoi.
17 The women who were living near her said, “[It is as though] Naomi [now] has a son!” And they named him Obed. [Later], Obed became the father of Jesse, and [later] Jesse became the father of [King] David.
Amola uda gadenene fi misini, mano ea dio Oubede asuli. Ilia dunu huluane ilima adoi, “Na: ioumi e da dunu mano lalelegei dagoi!” Amola Oubede da asigilale amola mano ea dio amo Yesi lai. Yesi da Da: ibidi lalelegei.
18 Here is [a list of] the ancestors of [King David]: Perez’s son was Hezron. Hezron’s son was Ram. Ram’s son was Amminadab. Amminadab’s son was Nahshon. Nahshon’s son was Salmon. Salmon’s son was Boaz. Boaz’s son was Obed. Obed’s son was Jesse. Jesse’s son was [King] David.
Goe da Bilese ea sosogo fi asili Da: ibidima doaga: i hou. Bilese amo da Heselone ea ada, Heselone e da Lame ea ada, Lame da A: minada: be ea ada, A:minada: be e da Nasone ea ada, Nasone da Sa: lamone ea ada, Sa: lamone da Boua: se ea ada, Oubede da Yesi ea ada, amola Yesi e da Da: ibidi ea ada.
