< Ruth 4 >

1 Boaz el som nu in acn in toeni ke mutunpot in siti uh ac muta we. Na mwet se ma Boaz el fahk mu fototo oemeet nu sel Elimelech ah fahsryak, na Boaz el pangnol ac fahk nu sel, “Mwet kawuk luk, fahsru ac muta in se inge.” Na mwet sac som ac pituki yorol.
And Booz went up to the gate, and sat there; and behold, the relative passed by, of whom Booz spoke: and Booz said to him, Turn aside, sit down here, such a one: and he turned aside and sat down.
2 Na Boaz el eis singoul sin mwet kol in siti sac ac fahk elos in wi pac muta insac. Ke elos pituki,
And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you here; and they sat down.
3 el fahk nu sin sou se lal ah, “Inge ke Naomi el foloko liki acn Moab uh, el ke kitala ipin acn se lal Elimelech, sou se lasr ah,
And Booz said to the relative, [The matter regards] the portion of the field which was our brother Elimelech's which was given to Noemin, now returning out of the land of Moab;
4 ac nga mu sahp kom ac enenu in etu. Inge, kom fin lungse, kom enenu in molela ye mutun mwet ma muta inge. A kom fin tia lungse, kom akkalemye, mweyen ma lom pa suwohs in molela uh oasr se meet likiyu.” Na mwet sac fahk ouinge, “Nga ac molela.”
and I said, I will inform you, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if you will redeem it, redeem it, but if you will not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside you to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after you: and he said, I am [here], I will redeem it.
5 Na Boaz el mu, “Wona, kom fin ac moli acn sac kom ac enenu in molella pac Ruth, mutan Moab sac, ipin acn sac in mau oanna sin sou lun mwet se ma misa ah.”
And Booz said, In the day of your buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, you must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
6 Na mwet sac fahk, “Fin ouingan, nga ac tari kitala suwohs se luk in molela acn sacn, mweyen kalmac uh pa tulik nutik sifacna uh ac tia ku in usrui acn sacn. Molela kom. Tari nga ac tila eis.”
And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do you redeem my right for yourself, for I shall not be able to redeem [it].
7 Ouinge ma orek in pacl sac ah, in orala ayaol ke acn ku in molela sie ipin acn, mwet se ma ac kitala acn uh enenu in sarukla fahluk lal uh ac sang nu sin mwet se ma ac molela acn sac uh. Ouiya se inge fin orekla, na mwet Israel uh ac etu lah oasr ma orekla ke ipin acn sacn.
And this [was] in former time the ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor that redeemed his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.
8 Ouinge ke mwet sac fahk nu sel Boaz, “Molela kom,” el sarukla fahluk lal ah, ac sang nu sel Boaz.
And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy my right for yourself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.
9 Na Boaz el fahk nu sin mwet kol inge ac mwet sayalos su wi muta in acn sac, “Kowos nukewa mwet loh kac misenge lah nga molela nu sel Naomi ma nukewa lal Elimelech, ac wen luo natul, Chilion ac Mahlon.
And Booz said to the elders and to all the people, You [are] this day witnesses, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that belonged to Chelaion and Maalon, of the hand of Noemin.
10 Sayen ma inge, Ruth, mutan Moab se kial Mahlon ah, ac tufah mutan kiuk. Ma se inge ac fah oru tuh acn lun mwet se ma misa in oanna in sou lal uh in nien muta lalos uh. Kowos mwet loh nu ke ma inge misenge.”
Moreover I have bought for myself for a wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Maalon, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance; so the name of the dead shall not be destroyed from among his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: you [are] this day witnesses.
11 Na mwet kol ac mwet saya ma wi muta insac ah fahk, “Aok, kut mwet loh kac. Lela LEUM GOD Elan oru tuh mutan se kiom ingan in oana Rachel ac Leah, su oswela tulik pukanten natul Jacob. Finsrak kom in ku in kasrup in sruf Ephrath ac pwengpeng in acn Bethlehem.
And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make your wife who goes into your house, as Rachel and as Lia, who both [together] built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephratha, and there shall be a name [to you] in Bethleem.
12 Lela tulik nutum ma LEUM GOD El ac sot nu sum sin mutan fusr se kiom ingan in oru tuh sou lom an in oana sou lal Perez, wen natul Judah ac Tamar.”
And let your house be as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore to Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give you of this handmaid.
13 Ouinge Boaz el usal Ruth som nu lohm sel tuh elan mutan kial. LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal, ac el pitutuyak ac oswela tulik mukul se.
And Booz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her; and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.
14 Na mutan in acn sac fahk nu sel Naomi, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD! El asot nu sum sie wen misenge in karingin kom. Lela tuh tulik sacn in pwengpeng fin Israel!
And the woman said to Noemin, Blessed [is] the Lord, who has not suffered a redeemer to fail you this day, even to make your name famous in Israel.
15 Acn talupom el lungse kom, ac oru ma wowo pus nu sum yohk liki ma wen itkosr ku in oru. Ac inge el asot nu sum sie wen, su ac fah asot moul sasu nu sum ac akwoye moul lom ke pacl kom ac matuoh.”
And he shall be to you a restorer of your soul, and one to cherish your old age; for your daughter-in-law which has loved you, who is better to you than seven sons, has born him.
16 Naomi el srukak tulik sac, sruokilya nu iniwal, ac karinganulang.
And Noemin took the child and laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.
17 Mutan in acn sac sang inen tulik sac Obed. Ac elos fahk nu sin mwet nukewa lah, “Wen se isusyang nu sel Naomi!” Obed el papa tumal Jesse, su papa tumal David.
And the neighbors gave it a name, saying, A son has been born to Noemin; and they called his name Obed; this [is] the father of Jessae the father of David.
18 Pa inge takin sou sac wal Perez nwe kacl David: Perez papa tumal Hezron,
And these [are] the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esrom:
19 Hezron papa tumal Ram, Ram papa tumal Amminadab,
Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.
20 Amminadab papa tumal Nahshon, Nahshon papa tumal Salmon,
And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.
21 Salmon papa tumal Boaz, Boaz papa tumal Obed,
And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.
22 Obed papa tumal Jesse, ac Jesse papa tumal David.
And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.
