Rut 4
1 Boasi'a marerino ana kumate kasante umani'ne. Anante Boasi'a keana, Rutima asmino kva huntegahie hu'nea ne' egeno, anage hu'ne, Nenfuga amare enka emanio, higeno anante emani'ne.
[Meanwhile], Boaz went up to the town gate and sat there. [That was the place where people met together to decide important matters]. When the man that Boaz had mentioned came there, the close relative of Ruth and Naomi’s dead husbands [who had a responsibility to take care of Naomi and Ruth], Boaz said to him, “My friend, come over here and sit down.” So the man went and sat down.
2 Ana hutegeno Boasi'a 10ni'a ranra kuma kva vahe, zamare atru huno anage hu'ne, amare emaniho hige'za zamagra emani'naze.
Boaz then gathered ten of the elders of the town and asked them to sit down [there also]. After they sat down,
3 Anante Boasi amanage huno ana nera asami'ne, Naomi'a Moabu mopareti e'neno, tagri vahe'mofo Elimeleki mopa mizante atrenaku nehige'na negasmue.
he said to the man who had the responsibility to take care of Naomi, “Naomi has returned from Moab [region]. She wants to sell the field that belonged to our relative Elimelech.
4 Hige'na nagra tamage kazigati kasami fatgo hunaku nagesa nentahue. Amama mani'naza vahe'ene, ranra kva vahe'nimokizmi zamufi, kagrama miza sena aza hugahue hanunka, amne ana huo. Hagi ana osugahue hanunka, nasmige'na antahi'neno. Na'ankure kagra kagota hanke'na, nagra kagri kamage hu'noe. Ana ne'mo'a kenona huno, Nagra mizasena aza hugahue huno hu'ne.
I thought that I should tell you about that, and suggest that you buy it, while these elders who are sitting here are listening. If you are willing to buy the property, do that. But if you do not want to buy it, tell me, so that I will know. I am suggesting this to you because you are the one who has the first right to buy it, and I am the one who has the second/next right to buy it.” The man replied, “I will buy it!”
5 Higeno Boasi'a anage hu'ne, Ana mopa Naomi azampinti miza sesana zupa, Moabuti a'ma fri'nemofo kento a' Rutina nafa'aza hunenka, fri'nea ne'mofo naga zamagima erifore hananke'za, ana naga'mo'za ana mopa erigahaze.
Then Boaz told him, “When you buy the land from Naomi, you will also be taking Ruth, [the woman] who is from Moab, [to be your wife], in order that she may [give birth to a son who will] inherit the property of her dead husband [MTY].”
6 Avate korama kvama huntega ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, Nagra mizase'na azahuga osu'noe. Na'ankure e'ina hanu'na nenfa'ma namige'na erisanti hare'noa zana eri haviza hugahue. E'ina hu'negu nagrama huga'zana kagra huo. Na'ankure nagra mizase'na azahuga osu'noe.
Then the close relative [of Ruth’s dead husband] said, “[If that is so], I do not [want to] buy the field, because then my own [children] would not inherit the property; [Ruth’s children would inherit it]. You buy the property!”
7 Hagi amanahu avu'avara, korapa knafi'na Israeli vahepi me'neane. Mago vahemo'ma mago'zama mizasekuro, azahukura, mago agia ano zafino mago'mofo nemia zane. Higeno amanahu antahi'zamo'a mani'zamofo kankamu erifore huno Israeli vahera aza nehia zane.
At that time, it was the custom in Israel, when a person bought property that belonged to another person, that the man who was selling the property would take off one of his sandals and give it to the one who was buying the property. That was the way they finalized sales in Israel.
8 Ana higeno, Rutima kegava huntega ne'mo'a, Boasinku anage hu'ne, Kagraka'a suza miza'so, nehuno aga nona zafi'ne.
So that close relative said to Boaz, “You buy the field yourself!” And he took off [one of] his sandals [and gave it to Boaz].
9 Anante Boasi'a ranra vaheku'ene, mika vaheku anage hu'ne, Tamagra negesage'na tamagri tamufi menina Naomi azampintira, Elimelekima, Kilioni'ma, Maloni zantamima me'neana, nagra miza segahue.
Then Boaz said to the elders and all the [other] people [who were there], “Today you have all seen that I have bought from Naomi all the property that belonged to [her dead husband] Elimelech and [his dead sons] Mahlon and Chilion.
10 Nagra ana zanke hu'na, Moaputi a' Rutina azeri nafa'a nehue, Maloni kento a'mo nagri a' mani'neno, fri'nea ne'mofo agi fanane hu'zanku zamagia erifore hanige'za ana mopare ene, vahe'afine, kuma'afinena fanane osugahie. Mika vahe'mota menina amazana tamufinti negaze,
I am also taking Ruth, [the woman] from Moab, Mahlon’s widow, to be my wife, in order that she may give birth to a son who will inherit the property of the dead man. In that way, Elimelech’s name will continue [LIT] among the members of his family and among all the people of this town. Today you all are witnesses [of what I have done].”
11 huno higeno ana kumamofo kasante mani'naza vahe'ene, kumate ranra vahe'ene mika'moza hu'za, Tagra negone, Ra Anumzamo azeri so'e hanigeno nonka'afima esnia a'mo'a, Resoli'ene, Liakema, Israeli vahe kse hakare huna'a kna hugahie. Hanigenka kagra Efrati naga nofipi ra kagi erinka Betlehemia feno ne' manigahane.
All the elders and the [others] who were sitting at the [town] gate [agreed, and one of them] said, “[Yes, ] we are witnesses. We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable this woman, who will be coming into your home, to give birth to many children, as Rachel and Leah did. They are the women from whom all [us] people [MTY] of Israel are descended. We hope that you will become rich in the clan of Ephratah, and become famous [MTY] [here] in Bethlehem.
12 Mago'ene nagakamo'za, Peresi naga kna huza, Judanteti Tamari'ma kasente'nea ne'mofo nagapinti, Ra Anumzamo ama a'pinti mofavre zaga kamigahie.
We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable you and this young woman to have many descendants. And we hope/desire that your family will be as important as the family of your ancestor Perez, the son of Judah and Tamar.”
13 Higeno Boasi'a, Ruti a' avregeno nenaro'za higeno, anteno mase'ne. Ramo azeri knare huntegeno agra amu'ene huno ne'mofavre ksente'ne.
So Boaz took Ruth [home], and she became his wife. He (slept with/had sexual relations with) her [EUP] and Yahweh enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
14 Anante a'nemo'za Naominku anage hu'naze, Ra Anumzamofo agi'a erisga hanune, na'ankure meni ama knafina kzahu vahera omani'ne huno onkatre'ne. Ama mofavremo Israeli vahe motafina ragi erigahie.
The women [of Bethlehem] said to Naomi, “Praise Yahweh! Now he has given [LIT] you a grandson who will be the one who will have the responsibility to take care of you. We hope that he will become famous [MTY] throughout Israel.
15 Agra nomani zanka'a kzeri muse nehuno tavava'ma resankeno'a knare huno kegava hugantegahie, na'ankure neganofero'a, seveni'a ne'mofavre zaga zamagatere'no, agra avesi kantega'hie!
He will make you feel young again, and he will take care of you when you become old. Your daughter-in-law, who loves you, has given birth to a son, who will (be better to/do more for) you than [if you had] seven sons [of your own].”
16 Anante Naomi'a ana mofavre avreno, agra'a asumpi anukino kegava hu'ne.
Then Naomi took the baby and put him on her lap, and took care of him.
17 Magopi nemaniza a'nemo'za, anage hu'naze, Mago ne'mofavre Naomi'na fore humie! Obeti'e hu'za agi'a antemi'naze. Obeti'a raseno Jesi ksentegeno, Jesi'a, Deviti nefaza hu'ne!
The women who were living near her said, “[It is as though] Naomi [now] has a son!” And they named him Obed. [Later], Obed became the father of Jesse, and [later] Jesse became the father of [King] David.
18 Ama'ne e'i Peresi naga'nofimokizmi zamagi'e, Peresi'a, Hesroni ksente'ne,
Here is [a list of] the ancestors of [King David]: Perez’s son was Hezron. Hezron’s son was Ram. Ram’s son was Amminadab. Amminadab’s son was Nahshon. Nahshon’s son was Salmon. Salmon’s son was Boaz. Boaz’s son was Obed. Obed’s son was Jesse. Jesse’s son was [King] David.
19 Hesroni'a, Rami ksentegeno, Rami'a, Aminadabu ksente'ne.
20 Aminadabu'a, Nasoni ksentegeno, Nasoni'a, Salmoni ksente'ne.
21 Salmoni'a, Boasi ksentegeno Boasi'a, Obeti ksente'ne.
22 Obeti'a, Jesi ksentegeno, Jesi'a, Deviti ksente'ne.
