Ruth 4
1 Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, and sat down.
E thuolono Boaz nodhi e dhoranga dala mobet kanyo. Ka wat Ruth mahie mane owachocha ne kadho kanyo, Boaz noluonge kawacho niya, “Rawane ka, osiepna, kendo bed piny ka.” Omiyo ngʼatno nodhi ire mobet piny.
2 Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here,” and they sat down.
Boaz nokawo jodongo apar mag dala kendo nowachonegi niya, “Beduru ane ka,” mine gitimo kamano.
3 He said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s.
Eka nowachone wat Ruth mahie niya, “Naomi ma yande odwogo koa Moab dwaro ngʼama ngʼiew puodho mane mar owadwa Elimelek.
4 I thought I should tell you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.” He said, “I will redeem it.”
Ne aneno ni ber mondo aket wachni e nyimi kendo aket parono e nyim joma obedo kagi kendo e nyim jodongo mag jowa, mondo ingʼiewe. Ka inyalo ware to ware, to ka ok inyal timo kamano to nyisa mondo angʼe. Nikech onge ngʼama chielo man-gi ratiro mar timo kamano makmana in kende, kendo an ema aluwi.” Nowacho niya, “Abiro ngʼiewo puodhono.”
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”
Eka Boaz nowacho niya, “E odiechiengʼ ma iningʼiewie puodhono kuom Naomi kendo kuom Ruth nyar Moab, ema inikawie chi ngʼat mothono, mondo ichung nying ngʼat mothono kaachiel gi mwandune.”
6 The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I endanger my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t redeem it.”
Kane wat dhakono owinjo wachno, nowacho niya, “Ka kamano to kare ok anyal ware nikech mano nyalo miyo akel chandruok ne mwanduna awuon. In ema mondo iware in iwuon. An ok anyal timo mano.”
7 Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour; and this was the way of formalizing transactions in Israel.
E kinde machon e piny Israel, mondo ne gimoro owar ma mi ngʼat machielo, ne chuno ni ngʼato achiel kuom jogo nyaka lony wuochene kendo omi ngʼat machielo, mano ne miyo winjruogno ok nyal loki. Mano e yo mane igurogo gimoro amora mane iwilo gi chik e piny Israel.
8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” then he took off his sandal.
Kuom mano, wat dhakono nowachone Boaz niya, “In, ema mondo ingʼiewe.” Kendo nolonyo wuochene.
9 Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.
Eka Boaz nolando ne jodongo gi ji duto kowacho niya, “Kawuono udoko joneno ka angʼiewo kuom Naomi mwandu duto mag Elimelek gi Kilion kod Malon.
10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from amongst his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”
Ruth nyar Moab, ma chi Malon, bende asekawo kaka chiega, mondo achung-go nying ngʼat motho gi mwandune, mondo nyinge kik lal e dier anywolane, kata e kitabu mondikie nying joma odak e dala-ka. Kawuononi udoko joneno!”
11 All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
Eka jodongo kaachiel gi ji duto mane ni e rangach nowacho niya, “Wan joneno. Mad Jehova Nyasaye mi dhako mabiro e dalani ochal gi Rael gi Lea, ma nochungo dhood Israel, kargi ji ariyo. Mad ibed ngʼat maduongʼ ei Efratha kendo ibed ngʼat marahuma ei Bethlehem.
12 Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the LORD will give you by this young woman.”
Koa kuom nyithindo ma Jehova Nyasaye biro miyi kuom dhakoni ma pod tin-ni, mad odi bi chal gi mar Perez mane Tamar onywolo ne Juda.”
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she bore a son.
Kuom mano Boaz nokawo Ruth mine odoko chiege. Bangʼe noriwore kode, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo omako ich, kendo nonywolo nyathi ma wuowi.
14 The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let his name be famous in Israel.
Mon nowachone Naomi niya, “Opak Jehova Nyasaye kawuononi nikech ok osejwangʼi, nimar osemiyi nyakwari. Mad obed ngʼat marahuma e piny Israel duto!
15 He shall be to you a restorer of life and sustain you in your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”
Obiro duogo ngimani kendo obiro riti ndalo ma iti. Nikech chi wuodi moheri kendo maberni moloyo yawuowi abiriyo, ema osenywole.”
16 Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and became nurse to him.
Eka Naomi nokawo nyathino mi noriwe e tiende, kendo ne orite.
17 The women, her neighbours, gave him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi”. They named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Mon mane odak kanyo nowacho niya, “Naomi nigi wuowi.” Kendo negichake ni Obed. En ema ne en wuon Jesse ma wuon Daudi.
18 Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
Koro ma e anywola joka Perez: Perez ne en wuon Hezron,
19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
Hezron ne en wuon Ram, Ram ne en wuon Aminadab,
20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
Aminadab ne en wuon Nashon, Nashon ne en wuon Salmon,
21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
Salmon ne en wuon Boaz, Boaz ne en wuon Obed,
22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
Obed ne en wuon Jesse, to Jesse ne en wuon Daudi.
