Ruthu 4
1 Na rĩrĩ, Boazu akĩambata agĩthiĩ nginya kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra, agĩikara thĩ ho. Rĩrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa wa mbarĩ yao, ũrĩa Boazu aarĩtie ũhoro wake ookire-rĩ, Boazu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrata wakwa, ũka haha ũikare thĩ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ hau agĩikara thĩ.
Then went Boaz vp to the gate, and sate there, and beholde, the kinsman, of whome Boaz had spoken, came by: and he sayd, Ho, snch one, come, sit downe here. And he turned, and sate downe.
2 Boazu agĩĩta athuuri ikũmi a itũũra akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ta ikarai thĩ haha!” Nao magĩĩka o ũguo.
Then he tooke ten men of the Elders of the citie, and sayd, Sit ye downe here. And they sate downe.
3 Ningĩ akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wa mbarĩ yao atĩrĩ, “Naomi ũrĩa ũracookire kuuma bũrũri wa Moabi-rĩ, nĩarendia gĩthaka kĩrĩa kĩarĩ kĩa Elimeleku, mũndũ wa mbarĩ ciitũ.
And he said vnto ye kinsman, Naomi, that is come againe out of ye countrey of Moab, wil sell a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelechs.
4 Ndagĩĩciiria ngũhe ũhoro ũcio na ngwĩre ũgũre gĩthaka kĩu ũrĩ mbere ya andũ aya maikarĩte haha o na mbere ya athuuri a andũ aitũ. Ũngĩkorwo nĩũgũgĩkũũra, ũgĩkũũre. No angĩkorwo ndũgwĩka ũguo-rĩ, ũnjĩĩre nĩguo menye. Nĩgũkorwo hatirĩ mũndũ ũngĩ ũrĩ na kĩhooto gĩa gwĩka ũguo tiga wee, na niĩ ngagũcooka.” Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũgĩkũũra.”
And I thought to aduertise thee, saying, Buy it before the assistants, and before the Elders of my people. If thou wilt redeeme it, redeeme it: but if thou wilt not redeeme it, tel me: for I know that there is none besides thee to redeeme it, and I am after thee. Then he answered, I wil redeeme it.
5 Boazu nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũrĩa ũkaagũra gĩthaka kĩu kuuma kũrĩ Naomi, na kuuma kũrĩ Ruthu ũrĩa Mũmoabi, nĩũkahikia mũtumia wa ndigwa wa mũndũ ũcio wakuire, nĩgeetha ũtũũrie rĩĩtwa rĩa ũcio ũkuĩte o hamwe na indo ciake.”
Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou mnst also buy it of Ruth the Moabitesse the wife of the dead, to stirre vp the name of the dead, vpon his inheritance.
6 Na rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa mbarĩ yao aiguire ũguo-rĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndikũhota gũgĩkũũra, nĩ ũndũ ndahota gwĩthũkĩria ũgai wakwa niĩ mwene. Gĩgĩkũũre arĩ we. Niĩ ndingĩhota gwĩka ũguo.”
And the kinsman answered, I can not redeeme it, lest I destroy mine owne inheritance: redeeme my right to thee, for I can not redeeme it.
7 (Matukũ-inĩ ma tene thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli-rĩ, mũtugo wa gũkũũra kana gũkũũrania indo nĩguo maũndũ mothe marĩkio wega, mũndũ ũmwe wa eene ũhoro aarutaga kĩraatũ gĩake agakĩnengera mũndũ ũcio ũngĩ. Kũu Isiraeli ĩno nĩyo yarĩ njĩra ya gwĩkĩra ũira atĩ ũndũ ũrĩa mũiguanĩre nĩwarĩĩkĩrĩra wega biũ.)
Now this was the maner beforetime in Israel, concerning redeeming and changing, for to stablish all things: a man did plucke off his shooe, and gaue it his neighbour, and this was a sure witnes in Israel.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio wa mbarĩ yao akĩĩra Boazu atĩrĩ, “Kĩgũre wee mwene.” Na akĩruta kĩraatũ gĩake, akĩmũnengera.
Therefore the kinsman sayd to Boas, Buy it for thee: and he drew off his shooe.
9 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Boazu akĩĩra athuuri acio na andũ othe atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ mũrĩ aira akwa atĩ nĩndagũra indo ciothe cia Elimeleku, na cia Kilioni, na cia Mahaloni kuuma kũrĩ Naomi.
And Boaz sayd vnto the Elders and vnto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I haue bought all that was Elimelechs, and all that was Chilions and Mahlons, of the hand of Naomi.
10 Ningĩ nĩndahikia Ruthu ũrĩa Mũmoabi, mũtumia wa ndigwa wa Mahaloni, atuĩke mũtumia wakwa, nĩguo ndũũrie rĩĩtwa rĩa ũcio ũkuĩte hamwe na indo ciake, nĩguo rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtikaanoore nyũmba-inĩ yao, kana rĩehere maandĩko-inĩ marĩa maigĩtwo ma itũũra. Ũmũthĩ nĩmwatuĩka aira!”
And moreouer, Ruth the Moabitesse the wife of Mahlon, haue I bought to be my wife, to stirre vp the name of the dead vpon his inheritance, and that the name of the dead be not put out from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
11 Ningĩ athuuri acio, o na andũ arĩa othe maikarĩte hau kĩhingo-inĩ, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ aira. Jehova arotũma mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ũroka gwaku mũciĩ atuĩke o ta Rakeli na Lea, andũ-a-nja arĩa eerĩ maakire nyũmba ya Isiraeli. Ũromenyeka kũu Efiratha, na ũgĩe igweta inene kũu Bethilehemu.
And all the people that were in the gate, and the Elders sayd, We are witnesses: the Lord make the wife that commeth into thine house, like Rahel and like Leah, which twaine did build the house of Israel: and that thou mayest doe worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Beth-lehem,
12 Ciana iria Jehova egũkũhe kuuma kũrĩ mũirĩtu ũcio irotũma nyũmba yaku ĩhaane ta ya Perezu, ũrĩa Tamaru aaciarĩire Juda.”
And that thine house be like the house of Pharez (whom Thamar bare vnto Iudah) of the seede which the Lord shall giue thee of this yong woman.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Boazu akĩhikia Ruthu, agĩtuĩka mũtumia wake. Ningĩ aakoma nake, Jehova agĩtũma Ruthu agĩe nda, na agĩciara kahĩĩ.
So Boaz tooke Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in vnto her, the Lord gaue that she conceiued, and bare a sonne.
14 Nao andũ-a-nja makĩĩra Naomi atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogoocwo, ũrĩa ũtagũtigĩte ũtarĩ na mũkũmenyereri. Kahĩĩ kau karogĩa ngumo njega Isiraeli guothe!
And the women sayd vnto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, and his name shalbe continued in Israel.
15 Kau nĩko gakerũhia mũtũũrĩre waku, na gagũtũũrie ũkũrũ-inĩ waku. Nĩ ũndũ mũtumia wa mũrũguo, ũrĩa ũkwendete na wa bata harĩ we gũkĩra aanake mũgwanja, nĩwe ũgaciarĩte.”
And this shall bring thy life againe, and cherish thine olde age: for thy daughter in lawe which loueth thee, hath borne vnto him, and she is better to thee then seuen sonnes.
16 Nake Naomi akĩoya kaana kau, agĩkaigĩrĩra ciero-inĩ ciake, agĩkarera.
And Naomi tooke the childe, and layde it in her lap, and became nource vnto it.
17 Nao andũ-a-nja arĩa maatũũraga kũu makiuga atĩrĩ, “Naomi arĩ na kahĩĩ.” Nao magĩgatua Obedi. Nake nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Jesii, ũrĩa warĩ ithe wa Daudi.
And the women her neighbours gaue it a name, saying, There is a childe borne to Naomi, and called the name thereof Obed: the same was the father of Ishai, the father of Dauid.
18 Ici nacio nĩcio njiaro cia Perezu: Perezu nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Hezironi,
These now are ye generations of Pharez: Pharez begate Hezron,
19 nake Hezironi aarĩ ithe wa Ramu,
And Hezron begate Ram, and Ram begate Amminadab,
20 nake Ramu aarĩ ithe wa Aminadabu, nake Aminadabu aarĩ ithe wa Nahashoni, nake Nahashoni aarĩ ithe wa Salimoni,
And Amminadab begate Nahshon, and Nahshon begate Salmah,
21 nake Salimoni aarĩ ithe wa Boazu, nake Boazu aarĩ ithe wa Obedi.
And Salmon begate Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
22 nake Obedi aarĩ ithe wa Jesii, nake Jesii aarĩ ithe wa Daudi.
And Obed begate Ishai, and Ishai begate Dauid.
