< Rit 4 >

1 Alò Boaz te monte nan pòtay la e te chita la. Konsa, fanmi pwòch a sila Boaz te pale a t ap pase. Epi li te di: “Vire akote, zanmi m; vin chita la!” Epi li te vire akote e te chita.
Therfor Booz stiede to the yate, and sat there; and whanne he hadde seyn the kynesman passe forth, of whom the word was had, Booz seide to hym, Bowe thou a litil, and sitte here; and he clepide hym bi his name. And he turnede, and sat.
2 Li te pran dizòm nan ansyen lavil yo, epi te di: “Vin chita isit la.” Konsa, yo te vin chita.
Forsothe Booz took ten `men of the eldere men of the citee, and seide to hem, Sitte ye here.
3 Epi li te di a fanmi pwòch la: “Naomi, ki te vin retounen soti nan peyi Moab la, ap oblije vann mòso tè ki te pou frè nou an, Élimélec.
And while thei saten, Booz spak to the kynesman, Noemy, that turnede ayen fro the cuntrey of Moab, seelde the part of the feeld of oure brother Elymelech,
4 Konsa, mwen te vle fè ou konnen, epi di: “Achte li devan sila ki chita yo ak devan ansyen pèp mwen yo. Si ou va peye ranson li, peye ranson li; men si ou p ap fè sa, fè m konnen; paske nanpwen pèsòn ke ou menm pou peye ranson li, e se mwen aprè ou.” Konsa li te di: “Mwen va peye ranson li.”
which thing Y wolde that thou here; and Y wolde seie to thee bifor alle `men syttynge and grettere in birthe of my puple. If thou wolt haue in possessioun the feeld bi riyt of nyy kyn, bye thou, and `haue thou in possessioun; sotheli if it displesith thee, schewe thou this same thing to me, that Y wyte what Y `owe to do; for noon is niy in kyn, outakun thee which art the formere, and outakun me which am the secunde. And he answeride, Y schal bie the feeld.
5 Epi Boaz te di: “Nan jou ke ou achte chan an nan men Naomi a, fòk osi ou pran Ruth, Moabit la, vèv a mò a, pou ou kapab fè leve non a sila ki mouri an sou eritaj pa li.”
To whom Booz seide, Whanne thou hast bouyte the feeld of the `hond of the womman, thou owist `to take also Ruth of Moab, that was the wijf of the deed man, that thou reise the name of thi kynesman in his eritage.
6 Pwòch fanmi an te di: “Mwen pa kapab peye ranson li pou kont mwen; paske mwen ta mete pwòp eritaj mwen an danje. Peye ranson li pou kont ou; ou kapab genyen dwa ranson pa m nan. Paske, mwen pa kapab peye ranson li.”
Which answeride, Y forsake the ryyt of nyy kyn; for Y owe not to do awei the eritage of my meynee; vse thou my priuelegie, which priuelegie Y knowleche me to wante gladli.
7 Alò sa se te koutim lontan an Israël pou ranson ak echanj tè pou vin an lòd avèk nenpòt afè. Yon nonm ta retire sapat li, te lonje li bay yon lòt. Se konsa pou te fè atestasyon an Israël.
Forsothe this was the custom bi eld tyme in Israel among kynesmen, that if a man yaf his riyt to anothir man, that the grauntyng were stidefast, the man vnlaase his scho, and yaf to his kynesman; this was the witnessyng of the yift in Israel.
8 Konsa, pwòch fanmi an te di Boaz: “Achte li pou kont ou.” Epi li te retire sandal li.
Therfor Booz seide to his kynesman, Take the scho fro thee; `which scho he vnlaside anoon fro his foot.
9 Alò, Boaz te di a lansyen yo ak tout pèp la: “Nou se temwen jodi a ke mwen te achte soti nan men Naomi tout sa ki te pou Élimélec yo ak tout sa ki te pou Kiljon avèk Machlon yo.
And Booz seide to the grettere men in birthe and to al the puple, Ye ben witnessis to dai, that Y haue take in possessioun alle thingis that weren of Elymelech, and of Chelion, and of Maalon, bi the yifte of Noemy;
10 Anplis, mwen te pran Ruth, Moabit la, vèv a Machlon an, kon madanm mwen, jis pou non a mò a kapab leve sou eritaj pa li. Pou non a mò a pa vin dekoupe soti nan frè li yo, ni nan rejis tribinal nesans li a. Nou se temwen jodi a.”
and that Y haue take in to wedlok Ruth of Moab, the wijf of Maalon, that Y reise the name of the deed man in his erytage; lest his name be doon awey fro his meynee and britheren and puple. Ye, he seide, ben witnessis of this thing.
11 Tout pèp la te la nan tribinal la ak lansyen yo te di: “Nou se temwen Ke SENYÈ a kapab fè fanm k ap antre lakay ou a tankou Rachel avèk Léa, tou de ki te bati lakay Israël la. Epi ke ou va reyisi richès ou nan Éphrata e vin rekonèt pa tout moun nan Bethléhem nan.
Al the puple, that was in the yate, answeride, and the grettere men in birthe answeriden, We ben witnessis; the Lord make this womman, that entrith in to thin hows, as Rachel and Lia, that bildiden the hows of Israel, that sche be ensaumple of vertu in Effrata, and haue a solempne name in Bethleem;
12 Anplis, ke lakay pa w kapab vin tankou lakay Pérets, ke Tamar te fè pou Juda, ak desandan ke SENYÈ a va bannou pa jenn fanm sila a.”
and thin hows be maad as the hows of Fares, whom Thamar childide to Judas, of the seed which the Lord schal yyue to thee of this damesel.
13 Konsa Boaz te pran Ruth. Li te devni madanm li, epi li te antre ladann. Konsa SENYÈ a te fè l kapab vin ansent e li te fè yon fis.
Therfor Booz took Ruth, and took hir to wijf; and he entride to hir, and the Lord yaf to hir, that sche conseyuede, `and childide a sone.
14 Alò fanm yo te di a Naomi: “Beni se SENYÈ a ki pa t kite ou san redanmtè jodi a. Ke non li kapab vin rekonèt toupatou an Israël!
And wymmen seiden to Noemy, Blessid be the Lord, which `suffride not, that an eir failide to thi meynee, and his name were clepid in Israel;
15 Anplis ke li kapab devni pou ou yon redanmtè lavi ak yon soutyen pou vyeyès ou. Anplis, pou bèlfi ou, ki renmen ou e ki pran swen ou pi byen pase sèt fis ki te bay li nesans.
and that thou haue `a man, that schal coumforte thi soule, and nursche elde age. For a child is borun of thi douytir in lawe, `which child schal loue thee, and he is myche betere to thee, than if thou haddist seuene sones.
16 Alò, Naomi te pran pitit la, te fè l kouche sou janm li yo pou te pran swen li.”
And Noemy puttide the child resseyued in hir bosum; and sche dide the office of a nurische, and of a berere.
17 Fanm vwazinaj la te bay li non an, epi te di: “Yon fis te ne pa Naomi!” Konsa, yo te rele li Obed. Li se papa a Jessé, papa a David.
Forsothe wymmen neiyboris thankiden hir, and seiden, A sone is borun to Noemy, and clepide his name Obeth. This is the fadir of Ysay, fadir of Dauid.
18 Alò, sila yo se jenerasyon a Pérets yo: Pérets te fè Hetsron,
These ben the generaciouns of Fares; Fares gendride Esrom;
19 Hetsron te fè Ram; Ram te fè Amminadab;
Esrom gendride Aram; Aram gendride Amynadab;
20 Amminadab te fè Nachschon; Nachschon te fè Salmon;
Amynadab gendride Naason; Naason gendride Salmon; Salmon gendride Booz;
21 Salmon te fè Boaz; Boaz te fè Obed;
Booz gendride Obeth;
22 Obed te fè Jessé; epi, Jessé te fè David.
Obeth gendride Isay; Isay gendride Dauid the kyng.
