< 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.
Boʼeez gara karra magaalaatti baʼee achi taaʼe. Innis yommuu namichi dhaaluuf isa caalaa fira dhiʼoo taʼe sun dhufetti, “Yaa michuu ko, as kottuutii na bira taaʼi” jedheen. Kanaafuu inni dhaqee taaʼe.
2 And he taketh ten men of the elders of the city, and saith, 'Sit down here;' and they sit down.
Boʼeezis maanguddoota magaalaa keessaa kudhan waamee, “As taaʼaa” jedheen; isaanis ni tataaʼan.
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;
Kana irratti namicha dhaaluuf aantummaa qabu sanaan akkana jedhe; “Naaʼomiin isheen Moʼaabii deebite sun lafa obboleessa keenya Eliimelek gurguruuf jirti.
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].'
Kanaafuu akka ati fuula warra as tataaʼaniitii fi fuula maanguddoota saba kootii duratti lafa kana bittuuf ani waan kana sitti himuu yaade. Yoo ofii keetiif dhaaluu barbaadde dhaali. Yoo dhaaluu baatte garuu akka ani beekuuf natti himi. Waan kana gochuuf si malee namni mirga qabu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii; namni sitti aanee aantummaa qabu ana.” Namichis, “Ani nan dhaala” jedhe.
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.'
Boʼeezis, “Egaa gaafa Naaʼomiinii fi Ruuti Moʼaabittii irraa lafa bittutti ati maqaa namicha duʼe sanaa qabeenya isaatiin waamsisuudhaaf niitii isaa illee fudhachuu qabda” jedheen.
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.'
Kana irratti firri dhiʼoo sun, “Yoos ani qabeenya mataa kootti rakkina fiduu dandaʼaatii dhaaluu hin dandaʼu. Ati mataan kee mirga dhaaluu kootii fudhadhuutii dhaali. Ani waan kana gochuu hin dandaʼu” jedheen.
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.
Bara durii biyya Israaʼeliitti dhaalaa fi qabeenya walitti dabarsuun gareen tokko kophee isaa of irraa baasee garee kaaniif kennuudhaan mirkaneeffama ture. Israaʼel keessatti bituu fi gurguruun haaluma kanaan mirkaneeffama ture.
8 And the redeemer saith to Boaz, 'Buy [it] for thyself,' and draweth off his sandal.
Kanaafuu namichi dhaaluuf fira dhiʼoo ture sun Boʼeeziin, “Ati mataan kee bitadhu” jedhee kophee of irraa baase.
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;
Boʼeezis maanguddootaa fi saba hundaan akkana jedhe; “Akka ani qabeenya Eliimelek, qabeenya Kiliiyooniitii fi qabeenya Mahiloon hunda Naaʼomiin irraa bite isin harʼa dhugaa baatota.
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.'
Akkasumas akka maqaan isaa maatii isaa keessaa yookaan biyya isaa keessaa hin badneef ani qabeenya isaatiin maqaa isaa waamsisuudhaaf Ruuti Moʼaabittii niitii Mahiloon kana niitii godhadhee fuudhuu kootiif isin harʼa dhugaa baatota!”
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;
Maanguddoonnii fi namoonni karra sana dura turan hundinuu akkana jedhan; “Nu dhugaa baatota. Waaqayyo dubartii mana kee dhufaa jirtu kana akka Raahelii fi Liyaa warra tokkummaadhaan mana Israaʼel ijaaran sanaa haa godhu. Ati Efraataa keessatti nama jabaa, Beetlihem keessatti immoo beekamaa taʼi.
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.'
Karaa sanyii Waaqayyo dubartii dargaggeettii kana irraa siif kennuutiin maatiin kee akkuma maatii Faares isa Taamaar Yihuudaadhaaf deesse sanaa haa taʼu.”
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.
Kanaafuu Boʼeez Ruutin fudhatee niitii godhate. Ishee wajjinis ciise; Waaqayyos akka isheen ulfooftee ilma deessu ishee gargaare.
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,
Dubartoonnis Naaʼomiiniin akkana jedhan; “Waaqayyo inni nama si dhaalu si hin dhabsiisin sun haa eebbifamu. Guutummaa Israaʼel keessattis inni maqaa haa qabaatu!
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.'
Innis jireenya kee ni haaromsa; bara dulluma keetiittis si soora. Niitiin ilma keetii isheen si jaallattu kan ilmaan torba siif caaltu sun isa deesseertiitii.”
16 And Naomi taketh the lad, and layeth him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse;
Naaʼomiinis mucicha fuutee hammatte; guddiftuu isaa illee taate.
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.
Dubartoonni ollaas, “Naaʼomiin mucaa argatte” jedhan. Maqaa isaas Oobeedi jedhan. Inni akaakayyuu Daawit, abbaa Isseey.
18 And these are genealogies of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Egaa hiddi dhaloota Faares kanaa dha: Faares abbaa Hezroon;
19 and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab,
Hezroon immoo abbaa Raam; Raam abbaa Amiinaadaab;
20 and Amminidab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Amiinaadaab immoo abbaa Nahishoon; Nahishoon abbaa Salmoon;
21 and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Salmoon immoo abbaa Boʼeez; Boʼeez immoo abbaa Oobeedi;
22 and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Oobeedi immoo abbaa Isseey; Isseey immoo abbaa Daawit.
