Rit 4
1 Bòz ale nan pòtay lavil la, kote moun yo konn reyini an, epi li chita. Lè sa a, yon moun vin ap pase. Se te nèg ki te fanmi Elimelèk pi pre pase l' la, nonm Bòz t'ap pale Rit la. Bòz rele l', li di l': -Entèl, vini m' pale ou, monchè! Chita non! Nonm lan al jwenn li, li chita.
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 Bòz fè rele dis nan chèf fanmi lavil la, li fè yo chita la tou. Lè yo fin chita,
Then he tooke ten men of the Elders of the citie, and sayd, Sit ye downe here. And they sate downe.
3 li di nonm ki te fanmi pre Elimelèk la: -Naomi tounen soti nan peyi Moab. Koulye a, li ta vle vann jaden ki te pou Elimelèk, fanmi nou an.
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 Mwen kwè se devwa m' pou m' fè ou konnen sa. Si ou vle achte tè a, ou mèt di l' devan dis mesye chèf yo ki chita la a, paske se ou menm an premye lalwa rekonèt dwa sa a. Konsa tou, si ou pa vle, ou mèt di l', paske apre ou, se mwen menm ki gen dwa sa a. Nonm lan di l': -M'ap achte l'.
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 Lè sa a Bòz di l': -Bon. Mwen byen kontan. Men, si ou achte jaden an nan men Naomi ak Rit, ti fanm peyi Moab la, vèv pitit Elimelèk la, se pou Rit vin madanm ou tou pou non fanmi defen an pa pèdi, epi pou tè a ka rete nan fanmi defen an tou.
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 Lè sa a, nonm lan reponn: -Si se konsa, mwen p'ap ka achte tè a. Paske, si m' achte l', pitit mwen riske pèdi nan sa m'ap kite pou yo a. Ou mèt achte l' ou menm. Mwen p'ap fè zafè a ankò.
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 Nan tan sa a, nan peyi Izrayèl, lè yon moun pase dwa li genyen pou achte osinon pou twoke yon tè bay yon lòt moun, men sa yo te konn fè: Moun ki te gen dwa a wete yon grenn sapat nan pye l', li bay lòt moun lan li. Se konsa moun Izrayèl yo te konn fè tout moun konnen zafè a te regle nèt.
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 Se poutèt sa, lè nonm lan di Bòz ou mèt achte tè a, li wete yon grenn sapat nan pye l', li lonje l' bay Bòz.
Therefore the kinsman sayd to Boas, Buy it for thee: and he drew off his shooe.
9 Lè sa a, Bòz di chèf fanmi yo ak lòt moun yo ki te la a: -Nou tout nou temwen, pa vre! Jòdi a, yo ban m' dwa achte nan men Naomi tou sa ki te pou Elimelèk ak de pitit gason l' yo, Maklon ak Kiljon.
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 An menm tan tou, yo ban m' dwa pran Rit, vèv Maklon an, pou madanm mwen. Konsa, tè a va rete nan fanmi defen an: Non defen an p'ap pèdi non plis nan lavil la. N'a sèvi m' temwen pou sa ki rive jòdi a.
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 Chèf yo ak lòt moun yo di l': -Wi, nou temwen. N'ap lapriyè Seyè a pou madanm sa a, ki pral antre lakay ou a, tankou Rachèl ak Leya ki te fè anpil pitit pou Jakòb, zansèt pèp Izrayèl la. Se pou ou vin rich anpil nan branch fanmi Efrat la. Se pou ou gen bon repitasyon nan lavil Betleyèm.
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 Se pou pitit Seyè a va ba ou ak jenn fanm sa a fè onè fanmi an, menm jan Perèz, pitit gason Jida ak Tama a, te fè l' pou fanmi l'.
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 Se konsa, Bòz pran Rit pou madanm li. Seyè a te beni Rit. Rit vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason.
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 Medam lavil yo di Naomi konsa: -Lwanj pou Seyè a! Jòdi a li ba ou yon pitit gason ki pral pran swen ou. N'ap lapriyè pou ti gason sa a kite non l' nan peyi Izrayèl la.
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 Bèlfi ou la gen tan renmen ou. Li fè pou ou sa sèt pitit gason pa ta ka fè. Koulye a, li ba ou yon pitit pitit ki pral fè ou anvi viv ankò, yon pitit gason ki pral tounen baton vyeyès ou.
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 Naomi pran ti bebe a, li kenbe l' lakay li, li pran swen li tankou pitit li.
And Naomi tooke the childe, and layde it in her lap, and became nource vnto it.
17 Medam yo ki rete nan vwazinaj la rele ti gason an Obèd. Yo mache di tout moun: Naomi gen yon lòt pitit gason. Se Obèd sa a ki pita vin gen yon pitit gason yo te rele Izayi, Izayi sa a ki te papa David.
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 Men non zansèt David yo depi Perèz: Perèz te papa Ezwon,
These now are ye generations of Pharez: Pharez begate Hezron,
19 Ezwon te papa Ram. Ram te papa Aminadad,
And Hezron begate Ram, and Ram begate Amminadab,
20 Aminadad te papa Nachon. Nachon te papa Salmon,
And Amminadab begate Nahshon, and Nahshon begate Salmah,
21 Salmon te papa Bòz. Bòz te papa Obèd,
And Salmon begate Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
22 Obèd te papa Izayi, epi Izayi te papa David.
And Obed begate Ishai, and Ishai begate Dauid.
