Ruth 4
1 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.
Bòz ale nan pòtay lavil la, kote moun yo konn reyini an, epi li chita. Lè sa a, yon moun vin ap pase. Se te nèg ki te fanmi Elimelèk pi pre pase l' la, nonm Bòz t'ap pale Rit la. Bòz rele l', li di l': -Entèl, vini m' pale ou, monchè! Chita non! Nonm lan al jwenn li, li chita.
2 And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you here; and they sat down.
Bòz fè rele dis nan chèf fanmi lavil la, li fè yo chita la tou. Lè yo fin chita,
3 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;
li di nonm ki te fanmi pre Elimelèk la: -Naomi tounen soti nan peyi Moab. Koulye a, li ta vle vann jaden ki te pou Elimelèk, fanmi nou an.
4 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.
Mwen kwè se devwa m' pou m' fè ou konnen sa. Si ou vle achte tè a, ou mèt di l' devan dis mesye chèf yo ki chita la a, paske se ou menm an premye lalwa rekonèt dwa sa a. Konsa tou, si ou pa vle, ou mèt di l', paske apre ou, se mwen menm ki gen dwa sa a. Nonm lan di l': -M'ap achte l'.
5 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.
Lè sa a Bòz di l': -Bon. Mwen byen kontan. Men, si ou achte jaden an nan men Naomi ak Rit, ti fanm peyi Moab la, vèv pitit Elimelèk la, se pou Rit vin madanm ou tou pou non fanmi defen an pa pèdi, epi pou tè a ka rete nan fanmi defen an tou.
6 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].
Lè sa a, nonm lan reponn: -Si se konsa, mwen p'ap ka achte tè a. Paske, si m' achte l', pitit mwen riske pèdi nan sa m'ap kite pou yo a. Ou mèt achte l' ou menm. Mwen p'ap fè zafè a ankò.
7 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.
Nan tan sa a, nan peyi Izrayèl, lè yon moun pase dwa li genyen pou achte osinon pou twoke yon tè bay yon lòt moun, men sa yo te konn fè: Moun ki te gen dwa a wete yon grenn sapat nan pye l', li bay lòt moun lan li. Se konsa moun Izrayèl yo te konn fè tout moun konnen zafè a te regle nèt.
8 And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy my right for yourself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.
Se poutèt sa, lè nonm lan di Bòz ou mèt achte tè a, li wete yon grenn sapat nan pye l', li lonje l' bay Bòz.
9 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.
Lè sa a, Bòz di chèf fanmi yo ak lòt moun yo ki te la a: -Nou tout nou temwen, pa vre! Jòdi a, yo ban m' dwa achte nan men Naomi tou sa ki te pou Elimelèk ak de pitit gason l' yo, Maklon ak Kiljon.
10 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.
An menm tan tou, yo ban m' dwa pran Rit, vèv Maklon an, pou madanm mwen. Konsa, tè a va rete nan fanmi defen an: Non defen an p'ap pèdi non plis nan lavil la. N'a sèvi m' temwen pou sa ki rive jòdi a.
11 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.
Chèf yo ak lòt moun yo di l': -Wi, nou temwen. N'ap lapriyè Seyè a pou madanm sa a, ki pral antre lakay ou a, tankou Rachèl ak Leya ki te fè anpil pitit pou Jakòb, zansèt pèp Izrayèl la. Se pou ou vin rich anpil nan branch fanmi Efrat la. Se pou ou gen bon repitasyon nan lavil Betleyèm.
12 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.
Se pou pitit Seyè a va ba ou ak jenn fanm sa a fè onè fanmi an, menm jan Perèz, pitit gason Jida ak Tama a, te fè l' pou fanmi l'.
13 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.
Se konsa, Bòz pran Rit pou madanm li. Seyè a te beni Rit. Rit vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason.
14 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.
Medam lavil yo di Naomi konsa: -Lwanj pou Seyè a! Jòdi a li ba ou yon pitit gason ki pral pran swen ou. N'ap lapriyè pou ti gason sa a kite non l' nan peyi Izrayèl la.
15 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.
Bèlfi ou la gen tan renmen ou. Li fè pou ou sa sèt pitit gason pa ta ka fè. Koulye a, li ba ou yon pitit pitit ki pral fè ou anvi viv ankò, yon pitit gason ki pral tounen baton vyeyès ou.
16 And Noemin took the child and laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.
Naomi pran ti bebe a, li kenbe l' lakay li, li pran swen li tankou pitit li.
17 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.
Medam yo ki rete nan vwazinaj la rele ti gason an Obèd. Yo mache di tout moun: Naomi gen yon lòt pitit gason. Se Obèd sa a ki pita vin gen yon pitit gason yo te rele Izayi, Izayi sa a ki te papa David.
18 And these [are] the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esrom:
Men non zansèt David yo depi Perèz: Perèz te papa Ezwon,
19 Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.
Ezwon te papa Ram. Ram te papa Aminadad,
20 And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.
Aminadad te papa Nachon. Nachon te papa Salmon,
21 And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.
Salmon te papa Bòz. Bòz te papa Obèd,
22 And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.
Obèd te papa Izayi, epi Izayi te papa David.
