Ruth 4
1 Then Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there: and behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Naʻe toki ʻalu hake ai ʻa Poasi ki he matapā, pea nofo ki lalo ia ʻi ai: pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu ange ʻae kāinga ʻaia naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Poasi; ʻaia naʻe pehē ki ai ia, “ʻE, ʻa koe, tafoki mai, pea nofo ki lalo ʻi heni.” Pea naʻe tafoki ia, ʻo nofo ki lalo.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ko e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou nofo ki lalo ʻi heni.” Pea naʻa nau nofo ki lalo.
3 And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, that has come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which [was] our brother Elimelech's:
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kāinga, “Ko Naomi ʻaia kuo toe haʻu mei he fonua ko Moape, ʻoku fakatau ʻe ia ʻae konga fonua, ʻaia naʻe ʻia ʻElimeleki ko hotau tokoua.
4 And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy [it] before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem [it], redeem [it]: but if thou wilt not redeem [it], [then] tell me, that I may know: for [there is] none to redeem [it] besides thee; and I [am] after thee. And he said, I will redeem [it].
Pea ne u pehē, “Te u fakahā ia kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke fakatau ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻo hoku kakai. Kapau te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke huhuʻi ia: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke fakahā kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha kehe ke huhuʻi ia ka ko koe; pea ʻoku ou hoko mo koe.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u huhuʻi ia.”
5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
Pea pehē ai ʻe Poasi, “Ko e ʻaho ko ia ʻoku ke fakatau ʻae ngoue ʻi he nima ʻo Naomi, ʻoku totonu hoʻo fakatau ia ʻi he nima ʻo Lute foki ko e fefine Moape, ko e uaifi ʻoe pekia, ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia ki hono tofiʻa.
6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem [it].
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kāinga, “ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa huhuʻi ia moʻoku, telia naʻaku maumau ai ʻae tofiʻa ʻoʻoku: ke ke huhuʻi ʻaia ʻoku ʻoʻoku moʻou; he ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa huhuʻi ia.”
7 Now this [was the manner] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for confirming all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave [it] to his neighbor: and this [was] a testimony in Israel.
Pea ko eni hono anga ʻi muʻa ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoe huhuʻi, pea ki he fetongi, ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē; naʻe vete ʻe he tangata hono topuvaʻe, pea ʻatu ia ki hono kaungāʻapi: pea ko e meʻa fakamoʻoni ia ʻi ʻIsileli.
8 Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy [it] for thyself. So he drew off his shoe.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he kāinga kia Poasi, “Ke ke fakatau ia moʻou.” Ko ia naʻa ne vete ʻo toʻo hono topuvaʻe.
9 And Boaz said to the elders, and [to] all the people, Ye [are] witnesses this day, that I have bought all that [was] Elimelech's, and all that [was] Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
Pea pehē ʻe Poasi ki he kau mātuʻa, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni kuo u fakatau ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻo ʻElimeleki, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻo Kilioni mo Maloni, ʻi he nima ʻo Naomi.
10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased 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 place: ye [are] witnesses this day.
Pea mo Lute foki ko e fefine Moape, ko e uaifi ʻo Maloni, kuo u fakatau ko hoku uaifi, ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia ki hono tofiʻa, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa motuhi ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia mei hono kāinga, pea mei he matapā ʻo hono potu: ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni.”
11 And all the people that [were] in the gate, and the elders said, [We are] witnesses. The LORD make the woman that hath come into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he matapā, mo e kau mātuʻa, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu. Ke ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae fefine kuo haʻu ki ho fale ke hangē ko Lesieli mo Lia, ʻakinaua naʻa na langa ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli: pea ke tāpuekina koe ʻi ʻEfalata, pea ke ongolelei koe ʻi Petelihema:
12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
pea ke hoko ʻo tatau ho fale mo e fale ʻo Felesi, ʻaia naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Tema kia Siuta, ʻi he hako ʻaia ʻe tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he fefine mui ni.”
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in to her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.
Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe Poasi ʻa Lute, pea hoko ia ko hono uaifi: pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu kiate ia, naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe Sihova ke feitama, pea ne fanauʻi ʻae tama.
14 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau fefine kia Naomi, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai tuku liʻaki koe taʻehao-kāinga, koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻo ongoongolelei hono hingoa ʻi ʻIsileli.
15 And he shall be to thee a restorer of [thy] life, and a nourisher of thy old age: for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.
Pea ʻe ʻiate koe ia ko e fakaakeake moʻui, pea ko e tauhi kiate koe ʻi hoʻo motuʻa: koeʻuhi ko hoʻo taʻahine ʻi he fono, ʻaia ʻoku ʻofa kiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku lelei lahi kiate koe ʻi he tama tangata ʻe toko fitu, kuo ne fanauʻi kiate ia.”
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became its nurse.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Naomi ʻae tamasiʻi, pea ʻai ia ki hono fatafata, pea hoko ia ko hono tauhi.
17 And the women, her neighbors, gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he [is] the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Pea naʻe fakahingoa ia ʻe he kau fefine ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tupu ʻae tama kia Naomi, pea naʻa nau ui hono hingoa ko ʻOpeti: ko ia ia ko e tamai ʻa Sese, ko e tamai ʻa Tevita.
18 Now these [are] the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Pea ko e ngaahi toʻutangata eni ʻo Felesi: naʻe tupu ʻia Felesi ʻa Hesiloni,
19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
Pea tupu ʻia Hesiloni ʻa Lame, pea tupu ʻia Lame ʻa ʻAminitapi,
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Pea tupu ʻia ʻAminitapi ʻa Nasoni, pea tupu ʻia Nasoni ʻa Salimoni,
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Pea tupu ʻia Salimoni ʻa Poasi, pea tupu ʻia Poasi ʻa ʻOpeti,
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Pea tupu ʻia ʻOpeti ʻa Sese, pea tupu ʻia Sese ʻa Tevita.”
