Ruth 4
1 Nígbà náà ni Boasi gòkè lọ sí ẹnu ibodè ìlú, ó sì jókòó síbẹ̀. Nígbà tí ìbátan tí ó súnmọ́ Elimeleki jùlọ, arákùnrin tí Boasi ti sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ ń kọjá, Boasi pè é wí pé, “Máa bọ̀ wá síbí ìwọ ọ̀rẹ́ mi, kí o sì jókòó.” Ó sì lọ jókòó.
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 Boasi sì pe mẹ́wàá nínú àwọn àgbàgbà ìlú, wí pé ki wọn jókòó, wọn sí ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀,
And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye here; and they sat down.
3 ó sì sọ fún ìbátan rẹ̀ náà pé, “Arábìnrin Naomi tí ó dé láti ilẹ̀ Moabu fẹ́ ta ilẹ̀, èyí tí ó ṣe ti arákùnrin Elimeleki wa.
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 Mó sì rò wí pé ó yẹ kí n mú ọ̀rọ̀ náà wá sí etí ìgbọ́ rẹ, wí pé kí o rà á ní iwájú gbogbo àwọn tí ó jókòó sí ibi yìí. Bí ìwọ yóò bá rà á padà rà á. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ kò bá ní rà á padà, sọ fún mi, kí èmi ó le è mọ̀. Nítorí pé kò sí ẹlòmíràn tí ó ní ẹ̀tọ́ láti rà á ju ìwọ lọ, èmi sì ni ẹni tí ó tún kàn lẹ́yìn rẹ̀.” Ọkùnrin náà sì sọ wí pé, “Èmi yóò rà á padà.”
and I said, I will inform thee, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if thou wilt redeem it, redeem it, but if thou wilt not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside thee to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after thee: and he said, I am [here], I will redeem it.
5 Nígbà náà ni Boasi sọ wí pé, “Bí ìwọ bá ti ra ilẹ̀ náà lọ́wọ́ Naomi àti lọ́wọ́ Rutu ará Moabu, ìwọ gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ opó ọkùnrin náà, kí orúkọ ọkùnrin tí ó kú náà má ba à parẹ́ pẹ̀lú ohun ìní rẹ̀ àti kí o le è bímọ ní orúkọ rẹ̀.”
And Booz said, In the day of thy buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, thou must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
6 Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà dáhùn sí èyí pé, “Nípa ti èyí, èmi kò le è rà á padà, nítorí pé, ọmọ rẹ̀, ọkùnrin yóò wá jẹ́ ajogún àwọn ohun ìní mi pẹ̀lú. Rà á fún ara rẹ, èmi kò le ṣe é.”
And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do thou redeem my right for thyself, for I shall not be able to redeem [it].
7 Ní ayé ìgbàanì, kí a tó le sọ wí pé ohun ìràpadà tàbí pàṣípàrọ̀ ohun ìní fi ìdí múlẹ̀ ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli, ẹnìkan ni láti yọ bàtà rẹ̀ kúrò ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ kí ó sì fi fún ẹnìkejì, ó jẹ́ òfin fún ẹni tí ó fẹ́ rà á. Nípa ṣíṣe èyí, àwọn ará Israẹli fihàn wí pé ọ̀rọ̀ náà ti fìdímúlẹ̀.
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 neighbour that redeemed his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.
8 Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà sọ fún Boasi wí pé, “Ìwọ rà á fúnra rẹ̀,” ó yọ bàtà rẹ̀ kúrò ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy my right for thyself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.
9 Nígbà náà ni Boasi wí fún àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn mìíràn tí ó wà ní ibẹ̀ pé, “Gbogbo yín jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí mi ní òní wí pé mo ti ra ohun gbogbo tí í ṣe ti Elimeleki àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin méjèèjì: Maloni àti Kilioni lọ́wọ́ Naomi.
And Booz said to the elders and to all the people, Ye [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 Ní àfikún, mo ra Rutu ará Moabu opó Maloni padà láti di aya mi. Èyí tí yóò mú kí orúkọ ọkùnrin òkú náà wà pẹ̀lú ohun ìní rẹ̀, kí ìran rẹ̀ má ba à lè parẹ́ láàrín àwọn ẹbí rẹ̀ àti ìlú rẹ̀. Ẹ̀yin ni ẹlẹ́rìí ní òní.”
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: ye [are] this day witnesses.
11 Nígbà náà ni àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà ní ibẹ̀ dáhùn wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àwa ni ẹlẹ́rìí, kí Olúwa jẹ́ kí obìnrin tí ó ń bọ̀ wá sí inú ilẹ̀ rẹ dàbí Rakeli àti Lea láti ara àwọn ẹni tí gbogbo ìdílé Israẹli ti jáde wá. Kí ìwọ sì di ọlọ́rọ̀ ní ìran Efrata àti olókìkí ní ìlú Bẹtilẹhẹmu.
And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make thy wife who goes into thy 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 thee] in Bethleem.
12 Kí Olúwa fún ọ ní ọmọ tí yóò mú ìdílé rẹ dàbí ti Peresi ọmọkùnrin tí Tamari bí fún Juda láti ipasẹ̀ ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin yìí.”
And let thy house be as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore to Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this handmaid.
13 Báyìí ni Boasi ṣe mú Rutu, tí ó sì di aya rẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni ó wọlé tọ aya rẹ̀, Olúwa sì mú kí ó lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọ ọkùnrin kan.
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 Àwọn obìnrin sì wí fún Naomi pé, “Ìyìn ni fún Olúwa tí kò fi ọ sílẹ̀ ní òní yìí láìní ìbátan, Olùràpadà. Kí ọmọ náà di olókìkí ní Israẹli.
And the woman said to Noemin, Blessed [is] the Lord, who has not suffered a redeemer to fail thee this day, even to make thy name famous in Israel.
15 Yóò tún ayé rẹ ṣe, yóò sì dáàbò bò ọ́ ní ọjọ́ ogbó rẹ. Nítorí pé ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ, èyí tí ó sàn fún ọ ju ọmọkùnrin méje lọ, tí ó sì fẹ́ràn rẹ ni ó bí ọmọ yìí fún.”
And he shall be to thee a restorer of thy soul, and one to cherish thy old age; for thy daughter-in-law which has loved thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, has born him.
16 Naomi sì gbé ọmọ náà lé orí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì ń tọ́jú rẹ̀.
And Noemin took the child and laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.
17 Àwọn obìnrin àdúgbò sì wí pé, “A bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún Naomi.” Wọ́n sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Obedi. Òun sì ni baba Jese tí í ṣe baba Dafidi.
And the neighbours 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 Èyí ni ìran Peresi: Peresi ni baba Hesroni,
And these [are] the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esrom:
19 Hesroni ni baba Ramu, Ramu ni baba Amminadabu
Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.
20 Amminadabu ni baba Nahiṣoni, Nahiṣoni ni baba Salmoni,
And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.
21 Salmoni ni baba Boasi, Boasi ni baba Obedi,
And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.
22 Obedi ní baba Jese, Jese ni baba Dafidi.
And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.
