Rut 4
1 Ya mere, Boaz pụrụ gaa nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ, nọdụ ala nʼebe ahụ. Ọ dịghị anya onye mgbapụta ahụ dị nso nke Boaz kwuru okwu banyere ya si nʼebe ahụ na-agafe. Boaz kpọrọ ya sị, “Enyi m bịa nọdụ ala.” Ọ bịara nọdụ ala.
But Bo'az went up to the gate, and sat down there; and, behold, the kinsman of whom Bo'az had spoken came passing by; and he said unto him, Turn aside hither, sit down here, such a one. And he turned aside, and sat down.
2 Boaz kpọrọ mmadụ iri, ndị bụ ndị okenye obodo ahụ, gwa ha, “Nọdụnụ ala nʼebe a.” Ha mere otu ahụ.
And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
3 Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara nwoke onye mgbapụta ahụ dị nso sị, “Naomi, onye si nʼala ndị Moab lọta, na-achọ ire ala nwanna anyị nwoke Elimelek.
And he said unto the kinsman, Na'omi, that is returned out of the field of Moab, hath to sell a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's.
4 Ahụrụ m na o kwesiri ka m buru ụzọ gwa gị ka ị zụọ ya nʼihu ndị a nọ ọdụ nʼebe a, na nʼihu ndị okenye obodo anyị. Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-agbara ya, gwa m, ọ bụrụkwanụ na ị gaghị agbara ya, gwa m, ka m mara ihe m ga-eme. Nʼihi na ọ bụ gị ka ọ dịrị ịgbapụta ya. Mụ onwe m na-esote gị.” Ọ zara sị, “Aga m agbapụta ya.”
And I thought to inform thee of it, saying, Buy it before those sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it; but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none beside thee to redeem it, and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
5 Mgbe ahụ, Boaz sịrị, “Nʼụbọchị ị ga-azụrụ ala ahụ site nʼaka Naomi ka ị ga-enwetakwa Rut onye Moab bụ nwunye onye ahụ nwụrụ anwụ, ime ka aha onye ahụ nwụrụ anwụ na ihe nketa ya na-adịgide.”
Then said Bo'az, On the day that thou buyest the field out of the hand of Na'omi, thou buyest it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
6 Na nke a, onye nchekwa mgbapụta ahụ sịrị, “Apụghị m ịgbapụta ya nʼihi na e nwere m ike itinye ihe nketa m na nsogbu. Gị onwe gị gbapụta ya. Nke a agaghị ekwe m omume.”
And the kinsman said, I am not able to redeem it for myself, lest I injure my own inheritance: redeem thou what I should redeem for thyself; for I am not able to redeem it.
7 Na mgbe ochie nʼala Izrel, ime ka mgbapụta ihe na iwefe ihe site nʼaka baa nʼaka zuo oke, otu onye ga-eyipụ akpụkpọụkwụ ya were ya nye onye nke ọzọ. Otu a ka e si ekpebi okwu gbasara orire na ọzụzụ, na-ime ka ihe ndị ọzọ guzosie ike nʼala Izrel.
Now this was formerly the custom in Israel at a redeeming and at an exchanging, to confirm any thing, that a man pulled off his shoe, and gave it to the other; and this was the manner of testimony in Israel.
8 Nʼihi ya, mgbe nwoke ahụ gwara Boaz sị ya, “Zụrụ ala ahụ nʼonwe gị,” o yipụtara akpụkpọụkwụ ya.
Thereupon said the kinsman unto Bo'az, Buy it for thee. And he pulled off his shoe.
9 Mgbe ahụ, Boaz kwupụtara na ntị ndị okenye ndị ahụ na ndị mmadụ nọ nʼebe ahụ sị ha, “Unu bụ ndị akaebe na esitela m nʼaka Naomi zụrụ ala niile Elimelek, na Kilịọn na Mahlọn nwere.
And Bo'az said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that belonged to Elimelech, and all that belonged to Kilyon and Machlon, out of the hand of Na'omi.
10 Azụrụkwala m Rut onye Moab, nwunye Mahlọn ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m, ime ka aha onye nwụrụ anwụ na ihe nketa ya na-adịgide, ka aha ha hapụ ifu nʼetiti ndị ikwu ya maọbụ site nʼobodo ebe amụrụ ya. Taa unu niile bụ ndị akaebe m.”
And also Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Machlon, have I obtained for myself as my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
11 Mgbe ahụ, ndị okenye na ndị niile nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama kwuru sị, “Anyị bụ ndị akaebe. Ka Onyenwe anyị mee nwanyị a na-abata nʼezinaụlọ gị ka ọ dịrị ka Rechel na Lịa, ndị ebo Izrel niile sitere na ha pụta! Ka ị bụrụkwa ọgaranya nʼagbụrụ Efrata, ghọọkwa onye a ma ama na Betlehem.
And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, [We are] witnesses. The Lord grant that the woman that is coming into thy house be like Rachel and like Leah, who did both build up the house of Israel: and acquire thou wealth in Ephrathah, and let thy name become famous in Beth-lechem;
12 Site nʼụmụ Onyenwe anyị ga-enye gị site na nwanyị a, ka ezinaụlọ gị dịrị ka nke Perez onye Tama mụụrụ Juda.”
And may thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Thamar bore unto Judah, through the seed which the Lord will give thee of this young woman.
13 Boaz kpọọrọ Rut ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya. Mgbe ya na Rut dinakọrọ, Onyenwe anyị nyeere ya aka ịtụrụ ime. Ọ mụkwara nwa nwoke.
And Bo'az took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in unto her: and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.
14 Mgbe ahụ, ndị inyom obodo ahụ bịakwutere Naomi sị ya, “Onye a gọziri agọzi ka Onyenwe anyị bụ, onye na-agbawaghị gị aka onye agbụrụ mgbapụta dị nso. Ka aha ya bụrụ ihe ga-ada ụda nʼala Izrel niile.
And the women said unto Na'omi, Blessed be the Lord, who hath not allowed to be wanting unto thee a kinsman this day: and may his name become famous in Israel.
15 Ya wetakwara gị ntute na ndụ gị ma bụrụkwa onye ga-azụ gị nʼisi awọ gị. Nʼihi na nwunye nwa gị, onye hụrụ gị nʼanya, onye baara gị uru karịa ndị ikom asaa, amụọrala gị nwa nwoke.”
And may he be unto thee one who refresheth thy soul, and who nourisheth thy old age; for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, hath born him, she who is better to thee than seven sons.
16 Naomi kuuru nwantakịrị ahụ, jikụọ ya nʼapata ya, lekọtaa ya.
And Na'omi took the child, and laid it in her lap, and she became a nurse unto it.
17 Ndị inyom ndị agbataobi ya sịrị, “Ugbu a, nʼikpeazụ, Naomi enwetala nwa nwoke ọzọ!” Ha gụrụ ya Obed. Ọ bụkwa onye ahụ bụ nna Jesi, onye bụ nna Devid.
And the neighboring women gave him a name, saying, There hath been a son born unto Na'omi: and they called his name 'Obed, who is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Nke a bụ usoro ndị a mụrụ site na Perez. Perez mụrụ Hezrọn
And these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Chezron;
19 Hezrọn mụrụ Ram Ram mụrụ Aminadab
And Chezron begat Ram; and Ram begat 'Amminadab;
20 Aminadab mụrụ Nashọn Nashọn mụrụ Salmọn
And 'Amminadab begat Nachshon; and Nachshon begat Salmah;
21 Salmọn mụrụ Boaz Boaz mụrụ Obed
And Salmon begat Bo'az; and Bo'az begat 'Obed;
22 Obed mụrụ Jesi Jesi mụrụ Devid.
And 'Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
