Luusi 4
1 Awo Bowaazi n’ayambuka ku wankaaki w’ekibuga n’atuula awo. Mu kiseera kye kimu, muganda we oli gwe yayogerako ngali ne Luusi, yali ayitawo. Bowaazi n’amuyita namugamba nti, “Jjangu otuuleko wano munnange.” Naye n’akkiriza, n’agenda n’atuula we yali.
Therfor Booz stiede to the yate, and sat there; and whanne he hadde seyn the kynesman passe forth, of whom the word was had, Booz seide to hym, Bowe thou a litil, and sitte here; and he clepide hym bi his name. And he turnede, and sat.
2 Bowaazi n’ayita n’abasajja kkumi ku bakadde b’ekibuga ne bajja ne batuula awo.
Forsothe Booz took ten `men of the eldere men of the citee, and seide to hem, Sitte ye here.
3 N’alyoka agamba muganda we nti, “Nawomi, eyakomyewo okuva mu Mowaabu, atunda ekibanja ekyali ekya muganda waffe omugenzi Erimereki.
And while thei saten, Booz spak to the kynesman, Noemy, that turnede ayen fro the cuntrey of Moab, seelde the part of the feeld of oure brother Elymelech,
4 Ndowoozezza nti nkutegeeze ku nsonga eyo, ekibanja ekyo okigulire mu maaso g’abakadde baffe. Bw’oba ng’oyagala okukinunula kinunule. Naye bw’oba nga toyagala, ntegeeza nkimanye. Tewali mulala alina buyinza kukinunula wabula ggwe, ate nga nze nkuddirira mu lunyiriri lwaffe.” Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Nzija kukinunula.”
which thing Y wolde that thou here; and Y wolde seie to thee bifor alle `men syttynge and grettere in birthe of my puple. If thou wolt haue in possessioun the feeld bi riyt of nyy kyn, bye thou, and `haue thou in possessioun; sotheli if it displesith thee, schewe thou this same thing to me, that Y wyte what Y `owe to do; for noon is niy in kyn, outakun thee which art the formere, and outakun me which am the secunde. And he answeride, Y schal bie the feeld.
5 Awo Bowaazi n’amugamba nti, “Olunaku lw’oligula ekibanja ekyo ku Nawomi, ne Luusi Omumowaabu, nnamwandu naye olimutwala, erinnya lye yafa n’olikuuma n’ebintu bye n’obirabirira.”
To whom Booz seide, Whanne thou hast bouyte the feeld of the `hond of the womman, thou owist `to take also Ruth of Moab, that was the wijf of the deed man, that thou reise the name of thi kynesman in his eritage.
6 Amangwago, omusajja n’addamu nti, “Nze sisobola kukinunula kubanga nnyinza okwonoona obusika bwange. Noolwekyo gwe kinunule.”
Which answeride, Y forsake the ryyt of nyy kyn; for Y owe not to do awei the eritage of my meynee; vse thou my priuelegie, which priuelegie Y knowleche me to wante gladli.
7 (Edda mu Isirayiri, empisa ey’okununula n’okuwaanyisa, yali nga bw’eti: omuntu omu yaggyangamu engatto ye, n’agiwa munne. Eno ye yali ng’enkola entuufu mu Isirayiri).
Forsothe this was the custom bi eld tyme in Israel among kynesmen, that if a man yaf his riyt to anothir man, that the grauntyng were stidefast, the man vnlaase his scho, and yaf to his kynesman; this was the witnessyng of the yift in Israel.
8 Awo omusajja n’agamba nti, “Kyegulire.” Amangwago Bowaazi n’aggyamu engatto ye.
Therfor Booz seide to his kynesman, Take the scho fro thee; `which scho he vnlaside anoon fro his foot.
9 Bowaazi n’alangirira eri abakadde n’abantu bonna nti, “Olwa leero, nguze ku Nawomi ebintu byonna ebya Erimereki, n’ebya Kiriyoni n’ebya Maloni, era mmwe muli bajulirwa.
And Booz seide to the grettere men in birthe and to al the puple, Ye ben witnessis to dai, that Y haue take in possessioun alle thingis that weren of Elymelech, and of Chelion, and of Maalon, bi the yifte of Noemy;
10 Era ne Luusi Omumowaabu, nnamwandu wa Maloni, naye mututte okuba mukazi wange, okusobola okukuuma erinnya ly’omugenzi Erimereki n’ebintu bye, erinnya lye lireme okufiira awo ate n’okugibwa ne ligibwa mu bitabo bye byafaayo eby’ekibuga. Mmwe bajulirwa!”
and that Y haue take in to wedlok Ruth of Moab, the wijf of Maalon, that Y reise the name of the deed man in his erytage; lest his name be doon awey fro his meynee and britheren and puple. Ye, he seide, ben witnessis of this thing.
11 Awo abakadde n’abantu bonna abaali ku wankaaki ne boogera nti, “Tuli bajulirwa. Mukama Katonda amufaananye nga Laakeeri ne Leeya, abaazimbira awamu ennyumba ya Isirayiri. Naawe Bowaazi oyale mu Efulasi, era oyatiikirire mu Besirekemu,
Al the puple, that was in the yate, answeride, and the grettere men in birthe answeriden, We ben witnessis; the Lord make this womman, that entrith in to thin hows, as Rachel and Lia, that bildiden the hows of Israel, that sche be ensaumple of vertu in Effrata, and haue a solempne name in Bethleem;
12 era n’ezzadde Mukama Katonda ly’anaakuwa mu mukazi oyo, libeere ng’ennyumba ya Pereezi, Tamali gwe yazaalira Yuda.”
and thin hows be maad as the hows of Fares, whom Thamar childide to Judas, of the seed which the Lord schal yyue to thee of this damesel.
13 Awo Bowaazi n’awasa Luusi okuba mukazi we, n’ayingira gy’ali, n’aba olubuto, Mukama Katonda n’amusobozesa okuzaala omwana owoobulenzi.
Therfor Booz took Ruth, and took hir to wijf; and he entride to hir, and the Lord yaf to hir, that sche conseyuede, `and childide a sone.
14 Abakyala ne bagamba Nawomi nti, “Mukama Katonda yeebazibwe, oyo atakulese nga tolina mununuzi olunaku lwa leero. Era erinnya ly’omwana lyatiikirire mu Isirayiri yonna!
And wymmen seiden to Noemy, Blessid be the Lord, which `suffride not, that an eir failide to thi meynee, and his name were clepid in Israel;
15 Kubanga muka mwana wo akwagala, alizza obuggya obulamu bwo n’akuwanirira mu bukadde bwo; era akusingira abaana omusanvu, be yandizadde.”
and that thou haue `a man, that schal coumforte thi soule, and nursche elde age. For a child is borun of thi douytir in lawe, `which child schal loue thee, and he is myche betere to thee, than if thou haddist seuene sones.
16 Awo Nawomi n’atwala omwana, n’amuwambaatira mu kifuba kye, n’amulabirira.
And Noemy puttide the child resseyued in hir bosum; and sche dide the office of a nurische, and of a berere.
17 Abakyala ab’oku muliraano ne bagamba nti, “Ewa Nawomi ezaaliddwayo omwana.” Ne bamutuuma erinnya Obedi, oyo ye kitaawe wa Yese, era jjajja wa Dawudi.
Forsothe wymmen neiyboris thankiden hir, and seiden, A sone is borun to Noemy, and clepide his name Obeth. This is the fadir of Ysay, fadir of Dauid.
18 Luno lwe lunyiriri lwa Pereezi: Pereezi yali kitaawe wa Kezulooni,
These ben the generaciouns of Fares; Fares gendride Esrom;
19 Kezulooni yali kitaawe wa Laamu, Laamu n’aba kitaawe wa Amminadaabu.
Esrom gendride Aram; Aram gendride Amynadab;
20 Amminadaabu yali kitaawe wa Nakusoni, Nakusoni nga ye kitaawe wa Salumooni;
Amynadab gendride Naason; Naason gendride Salmon; Salmon gendride Booz;
21 Salumooni yali kitaawe wa Bowaazi, Bowaazi n’aba kitaawe wa Obedi;
Booz gendride Obeth;
22 Obedi yali kitaawe wa Yese, Yese n’aba kitaawe wa Dawudi.
Obeth gendride Isay; Isay gendride Dauid the kyng.
