< Ruth 4 >
1 And Boaz hath gone up to the gate, and sitteth there, and lo, the redeemer is passing by of whom Boaz had spoken, and he saith, 'Turn aside, sit down here, such a one, such a one;' and he turneth aside and sitteth down.
Ya mere, Boaz pụrụ gaa nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ, nọdụ ala nʼebe ahụ. Ọ dịghị anya onye mgbapụta ahụ dị nso nke Boaz kwuru okwu banyere ya si nʼebe ahụ na-agafe. Boaz kpọrọ ya sị, “Enyi m bịa nọdụ ala.” Ọ bịara nọdụ ala.
2 And he taketh ten men of the elders of the city, and saith, 'Sit down here;' and they sit down.
Boaz kpọrọ mmadụ iri, ndị bụ ndị okenye obodo ahụ, gwa ha, “Nọdụnụ ala nʼebe a.” Ha mere otu ahụ.
3 And he saith to the redeemer, 'A portion of the field which [is] to our brother, to Elimelech, hath Naomi sold, who hath come back from the fields of Moab;
Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara nwoke onye mgbapụta ahụ dị nso sị, “Naomi, onye si nʼala ndị Moab lọta, na-achọ ire ala nwanna anyị nwoke Elimelek.
4 and I said, I uncover thine ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people; if thou dost redeem — redeem, and if none doth redeem — declare to me, and I know, for there is none save thee to redeem, and I after thee.' And he saith, I redeem [it].'
Ahụrụ m na o kwesiri ka m buru ụzọ gwa gị ka ị zụọ ya nʼihu ndị a nọ ọdụ nʼebe a, na nʼihu ndị okenye obodo anyị. Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-agbara ya, gwa m, ọ bụrụkwanụ na ị gaghị agbara ya, gwa m, ka m mara ihe m ga-eme. Nʼihi na ọ bụ gị ka ọ dịrị ịgbapụta ya. Mụ onwe m na-esote gị.” Ọ zara sị, “Aga m agbapụta ya.”
5 And Boaz saith, 'In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, thou hast bought [it], to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance.'
Mgbe ahụ, Boaz sịrị, “Nʼụbọchị ị ga-azụrụ ala ahụ site nʼaka Naomi ka ị ga-enwetakwa Rut onye Moab bụ nwunye onye ahụ nwụrụ anwụ, ime ka aha onye ahụ nwụrụ anwụ na ihe nketa ya na-adịgide.”
6 And the redeemer saith, 'I am not able to redeem [it] for myself, lest I destroy mine inheritance; redeem for thyself — thou — my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.'
Na nke a, onye nchekwa mgbapụta ahụ sịrị, “Apụghị m ịgbapụta ya nʼihi na e nwere m ike itinye ihe nketa m na nsogbu. Gị onwe gị gbapụta ya. Nke a agaghị ekwe m omume.”
7 And this [is] formerly in Israel for redemption and for changing, to establish anything: a man hath drawn off his sandal, and given [it] to his neighbour, and this [is] the testimony in Israel.
Na mgbe ochie nʼala Izrel, ime ka mgbapụta ihe na iwefe ihe site nʼaka baa nʼaka zuo oke, otu onye ga-eyipụ akpụkpọụkwụ ya were ya nye onye nke ọzọ. Otu a ka e si ekpebi okwu gbasara orire na ọzụzụ, na-ime ka ihe ndị ọzọ guzosie ike nʼala Izrel.
8 And the redeemer saith to Boaz, 'Buy [it] for thyself,' and draweth off his sandal.
Nʼihi ya, mgbe nwoke ahụ gwara Boaz sị ya, “Zụrụ ala ahụ nʼonwe gị,” o yipụtara akpụkpọụkwụ ya.
9 And Boaz saith to the elders, and [to] all the people, 'Witnesses [are] ye to-day that I have bought all that [is] to Elimelech, and all that [is] to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi;
Mgbe ahụ, Boaz kwupụtara na ntị ndị okenye ndị ahụ na ndị mmadụ nọ nʼebe ahụ sị ha, “Unu bụ ndị akaebe na esitela m nʼaka Naomi zụrụ ala niile Elimelek, na Kilịọn na Mahlọn nwere.
10 and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place; witnesses ye [are] to-day.'
Azụrụkwala m Rut onye Moab, nwunye Mahlọn ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m, ime ka aha onye nwụrụ anwụ na ihe nketa ya na-adịgide, ka aha ha hapụ ifu nʼetiti ndị ikwu ya maọbụ site nʼobodo ebe amụrụ ya. Taa unu niile bụ ndị akaebe m.”
11 And all the people who [are] in the gate say — also the elders — 'Witnesses! Jehovah make the woman who is coming in unto thy house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and do thou virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the Name in Beth-Lehem;
Mgbe ahụ, ndị okenye na ndị niile nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama kwuru sị, “Anyị bụ ndị akaebe. Ka Onyenwe anyị mee nwanyị a na-abata nʼezinaụlọ gị ka ọ dịrị ka Rechel na Lịa, ndị ebo Izrel niile sitere na ha pụta! Ka ị bụrụkwa ọgaranya nʼagbụrụ Efrata, ghọọkwa onye a ma ama na Betlehem.
12 and let thy house be as the house of Pharez (whom Tamar bare to Judah), of the seed which Jehovah doth give to thee of this young woman.'
Site nʼụmụ Onyenwe anyị ga-enye gị site na nwanyị a, ka ezinaụlọ gị dịrị ka nke Perez onye Tama mụụrụ Juda.”
13 And Boaz taketh Ruth, and she becometh his wife, and he goeth in unto her, and Jehovah giveth to her conception, and she beareth a son.
Boaz kpọọrọ Rut ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya. Mgbe ya na Rut dinakọrọ, Onyenwe anyị nyeere ya aka ịtụrụ ime. Ọ mụkwara nwa nwoke.
14 And the women say unto Naomi, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not let a redeemer cease to thee to-day, and his name is proclaimed in Israel,
Mgbe ahụ, ndị inyom obodo ahụ bịakwutere Naomi sị ya, “Onye a gọziri agọzi ka Onyenwe anyị bụ, onye na-agbawaghị gị aka onye agbụrụ mgbapụta dị nso. Ka aha ya bụrụ ihe ga-ada ụda nʼala Izrel niile.
15 and he hath been to thee for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law who hath loved thee — who is better to thee than seven sons — hath borne him.'
Ya wetakwara gị ntute na ndụ gị ma bụrụkwa onye ga-azụ gị nʼisi awọ gị. Nʼihi na nwunye nwa gị, onye hụrụ gị nʼanya, onye baara gị uru karịa ndị ikom asaa, amụọrala gị nwa nwoke.”
16 And Naomi taketh the lad, and layeth him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse;
Naomi kuuru nwantakịrị ahụ, jikụọ ya nʼapata ya, lekọtaa ya.
17 and the neighbouring women give to him a name, saying, 'There hath been a son born to Naomi,' and they call his name Obed; he [is] father of Jesse, father of David.
Ndị inyom ndị agbataobi ya sịrị, “Ugbu a, nʼikpeazụ, Naomi enwetala nwa nwoke ọzọ!” Ha gụrụ ya Obed. Ọ bụkwa onye ahụ bụ nna Jesi, onye bụ nna Devid.
18 And these are genealogies of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Nke a bụ usoro ndị a mụrụ site na Perez. Perez mụrụ Hezrọn
19 and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab,
Hezrọn mụrụ Ram Ram mụrụ Aminadab
20 and Amminidab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Aminadab mụrụ Nashọn Nashọn mụrụ Salmọn
21 and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Salmọn mụrụ Boaz Boaz mụrụ Obed
22 and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Obed mụrụ Jesi Jesi mụrụ Devid.
