< Ruth 4 >

1 Si Booz nga'y sumampa sa pintuang-bayan, at naupo siya roon: at, narito, ang malapit na kamaganak na sinalita ni Booz ay nagdaan; sa lalaking yao'y sinabi niya, Oy, kuwan! lumiko ka, maupo ka rito. At siya'y lumiko, at naupo.
Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
2 At siya'y kumuha ng sangpung lalake sa mga matanda sa bayan, at sinabi, Maupo kayo rito. At sila'y naupo.
And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you down here. And they sat down.
3 At sinabi niya sa malapit na kamaganak, Ipinagbibili ni Noemi, na bumalik na galing sa lupain ng Moab, ang bahagi ng lupa, na naging sa ating kapatid na kay Elimelech:
And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, sells a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:
4 At aking inisip na ipahayag sa iyo, na sabihin, Bilhin mo sa harap nilang nakaupo rito, at sa harap ng mga matanda ng aking bayan. Kung iyong tutubusin ay tubusin mo; nguni't kung hindi mo tutubusin ay saysayin mo nga, upang matalastas ko: sapagka't wala nang tutubos na iba pa liban sa iyo: at ako ang sumusunod sa iyo. At sinabi niya, Aking tutubusin.
And I thought to advertise you, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, 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 none to redeem it beside you; and I am after you. And he said, I will redeem it.
5 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Booz, Anomang araw na iyong bilhin ang parang sa kamay ni Noemi, ay marapat na iyong bilhin din ang kay Ruth na Moabita, na asawa ng namatay, upang ibangon ang pangalan ng namatay sa kaniyang mana.
Then said Boaz, What day you buy the field of the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.
6 At sinabi ng malapit na kamaganak, Hindi ko matutubos sa ganang akin, baka masira ang aking sariling mana: iyo na ang aking matuwid ng pagtubos; sapagka't hindi ko matutubos.
And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance: redeem you my right to yourself; for I cannot redeem it.
7 Ito nga ang kaugalian ng unang panahon sa Israel tungkol sa pagtubos at tungkol sa pagpapalit, upang patotohanan ang lahat ng mga bagay; hinuhubad ng isa ang kaniyang pangyapak, at ibinibigay sa kaniyang kapuwa: at ito ang paraan ng pagpapatotoo sa Israel.
Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel.
8 Sa gayo'y sinabi ng malapit na kamaganak kay Booz, Bilhin mo sa ganang iyo. At hinubad niya ang kaniyang pangyapak.
Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for you. So he drew off his shoe.
9 At sinabi ni Booz sa mga matanda at sa buong bayan, Kayo'y mga saksi sa araw na ito, na aking binili ang lahat ng kay Elimelech, at lahat na kay Chelion, at kay Mahalon, sa kamay ni Noemi.
And Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi.
10 Bukod dito'y si Ruth na Moabita, na asawa ni Mahalon, ay aking binili na maging aking asawa, upang ibangon ang pangalan ng namatay sa kaniyang mana, upang ang pangalan ng namatay ay huwag mahiwalay sa gitna ng kaniyang mga kapatid, at sa pintuang-bayan ng kaniyang dako: kayo'y mga saksi sa araw na ito.
Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place: you are witnesses this day.
11 At ang buong bayan na nasa pintuang-bayan, at ang mga matanda ay nagsabi, Kami ay mga saksi. Gawin ng Panginoon ang babae na pumapasok sa iyong bahay, na gaya ni Rachel at gaya ni Lea, na silang dalawa ang nagtatag ng sangbahayan ni Israel, at maging makapangyarihan ka sa Ephrata, at maging bantog sa Bethlehem:
And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do you worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
12 At ang iyong sangbahayan ay maging gaya ng sangbahayan ni Phares, na ipinanganak ni Thamar kay Juda, sa binhi na ibibigay ng Panginoon sa iyo sa batang babaing ito.
And let your house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give you of this young woman.
13 Sa gayo'y kinuha ni Booz si Ruth, at siya'y naging kaniyang asawa; at siya'y sumiping sa kaniya, at pinapaglihi ng Panginoon, at siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake.
So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in to her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.
14 At sinabi ng mga babae kay Noemi, Pagpalain ka nawa ng Panginoon na hindi ka binayaan sa araw na ito, na mawalan ng isang malapit na kamaganak; at maging bantog nawa ang kaniyang pangalan sa Israel.
And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which has not left you this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
15 At siya'y magiging sa iyo ay isang tagapagsauli ng buhay, at tagapagkandili sa iyong katandaan: sapagka't ang inyong manugang na nagmamahal sa iyo, ay nagkaanak sa kaniya, at siya'y mahigit pa sa iyo kay sa pitong anak.
And he shall be to you a restorer of your life, and a nourisher of your old age: for your daughter in law, which loves you, which is better to you than seven sons, has born him.
16 At kinuha ni Noemi ang bata, at inihilig sa kaniyang kandungan, at siya'y naging yaya.
And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
17 At nilagyan ng pangalan ng mga babaing kaniyang kapitbahay, na sinasabi, May isang lalake na ipinanganak kay Noemi; at tinawag nila ang pangalan niya na Obed; siya ang ama ni Isai, na ama ni David.
And the women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Ito nga ang mga lahi ni Phares: naging anak ni Phares si Hesron;
Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
19 At naging anak ni Hesron si Ram, at naging anak ni Ram si Aminadab;
And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
20 At naging anak ni Aminadab si Nahason, at naging anak ni Nahason si Salmon:
And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
21 At naging anak ni Salmon si Booz, at naging anak ni Booz si Obed;
And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
22 At naging anak ni Obed si Isai, at naging anak ni Isai si David.
And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
