< Ruth 4 >

1 Ita, napan ni Boaz iti ruangan ket nagtugaw sadiay. Iti saan a nagbayag, simmangpet ti ibagbaga ni Boaz nga asideg a kabagian. Kinuna ni Boaz kenkuana, “Gayyem, umayka ket agtugawka ditoy.” Immasideg ti lalaki ket nagtugaw.
Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, and sat down.
2 Kalpasanna, nangayab ni Boaz iti sangapulo a panglakayen iti siudad ket kinunana, “Agtugawkayo ditoy.” Nagtugawda ngarud.
Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here,” and they sat down.
3 Kinuna ni Boaz iti asideg a kabagian, “Ilaklako ni Naomi, a nagsubli manipud idiay pagilian ti Moab, ti paset ti daga a kukua ni Elimelec a kabsattayo.
He said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s.
4 Napanunotko nga ipakaammo ken ibaga kenka, 'Gatangem daytoy iti imatang dagiti agtugtugaw ditoy, ken iti imatang dagiti panglakayen dagiti tattaok.' No kayatmo a subboten, ket subbotem ngarud daytoy. Ngem no saanmo a kayat a subboten daytoy, ibagam kaniak tapno ammok, gapu ta awanen ti sabali pay a mangsubbot iti daytoy malaksid kenka, ket siak ti sumarsaruno kenka.” Ket kinuna ti lalaki, “Subbotek daytoy.”
I thought I should tell you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.” He said, “I will redeem it.”
5 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Boaz, “Iti kanito a gatangem ti talon manipud iti ima ni Naomi, masapul nga alaem met ni Ruth, ti Moabita nga asawa daydi natay a lalaki, tapno maitakder ti nagan ti natay iti tawidna.”
Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”
6 Ket kinuna ti asideg a kabagian, “Saanko a mabalin a subboten daytoy a para kaniak gapu ta madadael ti bukodko a tawid. Alaem ti karbengak a mangsubbot, ta saankon a masubbot daytoy.”
The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I endanger my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t redeem it.”
7 Ita, daytoy ti kaugalian idi un-unana a panawen iti Israel maipanggep iti panangsubbot ken panangisukat kadagiti sanikua. Tapno mapatalgedan ti amin a banag, uksoten ti lalaki ti sapatosna ket itedna daytoy iti kaarubana; daytoy iti gagangay a wagas iti pannakitulag ti Israel.
Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour; and this was the way of formalizing transactions in Israel.
8 Kinuna ngarud ti asideg a kabagian kenni Boaz, “Sika lattan ti manggatang.” Ket inuksotna ti sapatosna.
So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” then he took off his sandal.
9 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Boaz kadagiti panglakayen ken kadagiti amin a tattao, “Saksikayo ita nga aldaw a ginatangkon amin a kukua ni Elimelec, ken amin a kukua da Kilion ken Mahalon manipud iti ima ni Naomi.
Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.
10 Maysa pay, maipanggep kenni Ruth a Moabita, ti asawa ni Mahalon: alaek met isuna nga agbalin nga asawak, tapno maitakderko ti nagan ti natay iti tawidna, tapno saan a mapukaw ti naganna kadagiti kakabsatna ken iti ruangan iti lugarna. Saksikayo iti daytoy nga aldaw.”
Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from amongst his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”
11 Kinuna dagiti amin a tattao ken dagiti panglakayen nga adda idiay ruangan, “Saksikami. Pagbalinen koma ni Yahweh ti babai nga immay iti pagtaengam a kas kada Raquel ken Lea, dagiti dua a nangbangon ti balay ti Israel. Ket rumang-ayka koma idiay Efrata ken agdinamagka koma iti Bethlehem.
All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
12 Agbalin koma ti pagtaengam a kas iti pagtaengan ni Perez, nga impasngay ni Tamar kenni Juda, babaen iti anak nga ited ni Yahweh kadakayo iti daytoy nga agtutubo a babai.”
Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the LORD will give you by this young woman.”
13 Innala ngarud ni Boaz ni Ruth, ket nagbalin isuna nga asawana. Nakikaidda isuna kenkuana, ket impalubos ni Yahweh nga agsikog isuna, ket nangipasngay ti babai iti maysa nga anak a lalaki.
So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she bore a son.
14 Kinuna dagiti babbai kenni Naomi, “Madaydayaw koma ni Yahweh, a saan nangibati kenka ita nga aldaw nga awanan iti asideg a kabagian, daytoy a maladaga. Nalatakto koma ti naganna iti Israel.
The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let his name be famous in Israel.
15 Isunto koma iti mangpasubli ti biagmo ken mangpakaradkad kenka iti kinabaketmo, ta impasngay isuna ti manugangmo, a mangay-ayat kenka, a nasaysayaat kenka ngem ti pito nga annak a lallaki.”
He shall be to you a restorer of life and sustain you in your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”
16 Ket innala ni Naomi ti ubing, insadagna iti barukongna, ket inaywananna daytoy.
Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and became nurse to him.
17 Ket dagiti babbai, dagiti kaarubana, intedda kenkuana ti maysa a nagan, a kunada, “Adda maysa nga anak a lalaki a naiyanak kenni Naomi.” Pinanagananda isuna iti Obed. Isuna ti nagbalin nga ama ni Jesse, nga ama ni David.
The women, her neighbours, gave him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi”. They named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Ita, dagitoy dagiti kaputotan ni Perez: Ni Perez ti nagbalin nga ama ni Hesron,
Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
19 ni Hesron ket nagbalin nga ama ni Ram, ni Ram ket nagbalin nga ama ni Aminadab,
and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
20 ni Aminadab ket nagbalin nga ama ni Naason, ni Naason ket nagbalin nga ama ni Salmon,
and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
21 ni Salmon ket nagbalin nga ama ni Boaz, ni Boaz ket nagbalin nga ama ni Obed,
and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
22 ni Obed ket nagbalin nga ama ni Jesse, ni Jesse ti nagbalin nga ama ni David.
and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
