Rut 4
1 Ana cikin haka Bowaz ya haura zuwa ƙofar gari ya tafi ya zauna a can. Sa’ad da dangi mai fansan da ya yi zance ya iso, Bowaz ya ce, “Zo nan abokina ka zauna.” Saboda haka ya ratso ya zauna.
Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down.
2 Bowaz kuwa ya kira dattawa guda goma na garin ya ce, “Ku zauna a nan,” suka kuwa zauna.
And Booz taking ten men of the ancients of the city, said to them: Sit ye down here.
3 Sa’an nan ya ce wa dangin nan mai fansa, “Na’omi, wadda ta dawo daga Mowab, tana so ta sayar da filin da yake na ɗan’uwanmu Elimelek.
They sat down, and he spoke to the kinsman: Noemi, who is returned from the country of Moab, will sell a parcel of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech.
4 Na ga ya kamata in jawo hankalinka ga batun in kuma ba da shawara ka saye shi a gaban waɗannan da suke zazzaune a nan da kuma a gaban dattawan jama’a. In kana so ka fanshe shi, to, sai ka yi. Amma in ba za ka yi ba, sai ka faɗa mini, don in sani. Gama babu wani mai izinin yin haka sai kai, ni ne kuwa na biye.” Sai ya ce, “Zan fansa.”
I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field.
5 Sa’an nan Bowaz ya ce, “A ranar da ka saya filin daga Na’omi da kuma daga Rut mutuniyar Mowab, ka sayi gwauruwar marigayin nan, domin ka riƙe sunan marigayin da kuma kayansa.”
And Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman’s hand, thou must take also Ruth the Moabitess, who was the wife of the deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance.
6 Da jin haka, sai dangin nan mai fansa ya ce, “To, ba zan iya fanshe shi ba don kada in yi wa nawa mallakar rauni. Za ka iya fanshe shi wa kanka. Ni dai ba zan iya ba.”
He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege, which I profess I do willingly forego.
7 (To, a kwanakin can a Isra’ila, domin a tabbatar da fansa da kuma musayar da mallaka, mutum zai cire takalminsa ya ba wa ɗayan. Wannan ita ce hanyar tabbatar da al’amarin a hukumance a cikin Isra’ila.)
Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe, and gave it to his neighhour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel.
8 Saboda haka dangin nan mai fansa ya ce wa Bowaz, “Saye shi wa kanka.” Sai ya cire takalminsa.
So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot.
9 Sa’an nan Bowaz ya yi shela wa dattawa da kuma dukan mutane, “A yau ku ne shaidu cewa na saya daga Na’omi dukan mallakar Elimelek, Kiliyon da kuma Malon.
And he said to the ancients and to all the people: You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and Chelion’s, and Mahalon’s, of the hand of Noemi:
10 Na kuma ɗauki Rut mutuniyar Mowab, gwauruwar Malon a matsayin matata domin sunan mamaci da kuma mallakarsa yă ci gaba, domin kada sunansa yă ɓace daga cikin iyali ko daga tarihin gari. A yau ku ne shaidu!”
And have taken to wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon, to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name be cut off, from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.
11 Sai dattawan da kuma dukan waɗanda suke a ƙofar suka ce, “Mu shaidu ne. Bari Ubangiji yă sa macen da take zuwa cikin gidanka ta zama kamar Rahila da Liyatu, waɗanda tare suka gina gidan Isra’ila. Bari ka sami martaba a cikin Efrata ka kuma zama sananne cikin Betlehem.
Then all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name in Bethlehem:
12 Ta wurin’ya’yan da Ubangiji zai ba ka ta wurin wannan mace, bari iyalinka yă zama kamar na Ferez, wanda Tamar ta haifa wa Yahuda.”
And that the house may be, as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore unto Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
13 Sai Bowaz ya ɗauki Rut ta kuwa zama matarsa. Sa’an nan ya kwana da ita, Ubangiji kuma ya sa ta yi ciki, ta haifi ɗa.
Booz therefore took Ruth, and married her: and went in unto her, and the Lord gave her to conceive and to bear a son.
14 Mata suka ce wa Na’omi, “Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji, wanda a wannan rana bai bar ki ba tare da dangi mai fansa ba. Allah yă sa yă zama sananne a dukan Isra’ila!
And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor, that his name should be preserved in Israel.
15 Zai sabunta rayuwarki yă adana ki a tsufanki. Gama surukarki wadda take ƙaunarki wadda kuma take mafi kyau gare ki fiye da’ya’ya maza bakwai, ta haife shi.”
And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.
16 Sai Na’omi ta ɗauki yaron, ta kwantar da shi a cinyarta ta kuma kula da shi.
And Noemi taking the child laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto it.
17 Matan da suke zama a wurin suka ce, “Na’omi ta sami yaro.” Suka kuwa ba shi suna Obed. Shi ne ya haifi Yesse, mahaifin Dawuda.
And the women her neighbours, congratulating with her and saying: There is a son born to Noemi: called his name Obed: he is the father of Isai, the father of David.
18 Ga asalin zuriyar Ferez. Ferez shi ne mahaifin Hezron,
These are the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esron,
19 Hezron ya haifi Ram, Ram ya haifi Amminadab,
Esron begot Aram, Aram begot Aminadab,
20 Amminadab ya haifi Nashon, Nashon ya haifi Salmon,
Aminadab begot Nahasson, Nahasson begot Salmon,
21 Salmon ya haifi Bowaz, Bowaz ya haifi Obed,
Salmon begot Booz, Booz begot Obed,
22 Obed ya haifi Yesse, Yesse kuwa ya haifi Dawuda.
Obed begot Isai, Isai begot David.
