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.
Then Boaz went up to the gate, and sat 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 Boasi sì pe mẹ́wàá nínú àwọn àgbàgbà ìlú, wí pé ki wọn jókòó, wọn sí ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀,
And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down 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 he said to the kinsman, Naomi, that has come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which [was] our brother Elimelech's:
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 thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy [it] before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem [it], redeem [it]: but if thou wilt not redeem [it], [then] tell me, that I may know: for [there is] none to redeem [it] besides thee; and I [am] after thee. And he said, 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.”
Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, 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 cannot redeem [it] for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot 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.
Now this [was the manner] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for confirming all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave [it] to his neighbor: 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.
Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy [it] for thyself. So he drew off his shoe.
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 Boaz said to the elders, and [to] all the people, Ye [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 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, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye [are] witnesses this day.
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 that [were] in the gate, and the elders said, [We are] witnesses. The LORD make the woman that hath come into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:
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 like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
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.
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 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 women said to Naomi, Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be 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] life, and a nourisher of thy old age: for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.
16 Naomi sì gbé ọmọ náà lé orí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì ń tọ́jú rẹ̀.
And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became its nurse.
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 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 Èyí ni ìran Peresi: Peresi ni baba Hesroni,
Now these [are] the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
19 Hesroni ni baba Ramu, Ramu ni baba Amminadabu
And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
20 Amminadabu ni baba Nahiṣoni, Nahiṣoni ni baba Salmoni,
And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
21 Salmoni ni baba Boasi, Boasi ni baba Obedi,
And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
22 Obedi ní baba Jese, Jese ni baba Dafidi.
And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
