Ruth 4
1 Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Alò Boaz te monte nan pòtay la e te chita la. Konsa, fanmi pwòch a sila Boaz te pale a t ap pase. Epi li te di: “Vire akote, zanmi m; vin chita la!” Epi li te vire akote e te chita.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
Li te pran dizòm nan ansyen lavil yo, epi te di: “Vin chita isit la.” Konsa, yo te vin chita.
3 And he said unto the near kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:
Epi li te di a fanmi pwòch la: “Naomi, ki te vin retounen soti nan peyi Moab la, ap oblije vann mòso tè ki te pou frè nou an, Élimélec.
4 And I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them that sit here, 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 beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
Konsa, mwen te vle fè ou konnen, epi di: “Achte li devan sila ki chita yo ak devan ansyen pèp mwen yo. Si ou va peye ranson li, peye ranson li; men si ou p ap fè sa, fè m konnen; paske nanpwen pèsòn ke ou menm pou peye ranson li, e se mwen aprè ou.” Konsa li te di: “Mwen va peye ranson li.”
5 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.
Epi Boaz te di: “Nan jou ke ou achte chan an nan men Naomi a, fòk osi ou pran Ruth, Moabit la, vèv a mò a, pou ou kapab fè leve non a sila ki mouri an sou eritaj pa li.”
6 And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot redeem it.
Pwòch fanmi an te di: “Mwen pa kapab peye ranson li pou kont mwen; paske mwen ta mete pwòp eritaj mwen an danje. Peye ranson li pou kont ou; ou kapab genyen dwa ranson pa m nan. Paske, mwen pa kapab peye ranson li.”
7 Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, for to confirm all things; a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was the [manner of] attestation in Israel.
Alò sa se te koutim lontan an Israël pou ranson ak echanj tè pou vin an lòd avèk nenpòt afè. Yon nonm ta retire sapat li, te lonje li bay yon lòt. Se konsa pou te fè atestasyon an Israël.
8 So the near kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thyself. And he drew off his shoe.
Konsa, pwòch fanmi an te di Boaz: “Achte li pou kont ou.” Epi li te retire sandal li.
9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto 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.
Alò, Boaz te di a lansyen yo ak tout pèp la: “Nou se temwen jodi a ke mwen te achte soti nan men Naomi tout sa ki te pou Élimélec yo ak tout sa ki te pou Kiljon avèk Machlon yo.
10 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.
Anplis, mwen te pran Ruth, Moabit la, vèv a Machlon an, kon madanm mwen, jis pou non a mò a kapab leve sou eritaj pa li. Pou non a mò a pa vin dekoupe soti nan frè li yo, ni nan rejis tribinal nesans li a. Nou se temwen jodi a.”
11 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 thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:
Tout pèp la te la nan tribinal la ak lansyen yo te di: “Nou se temwen Ke SENYÈ a kapab fè fanm k ap antre lakay ou a tankou Rachel avèk Léa, tou de ki te bati lakay Israël la. Epi ke ou va reyisi richès ou nan Éphrata e vin rekonèt pa tout moun nan Bethléhem nan.
12 and let thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
Anplis, ke lakay pa w kapab vin tankou lakay Pérets, ke Tamar te fè pou Juda, ak desandan ke SENYÈ a va bannou pa jenn fanm sila a.”
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
Konsa Boaz te pran Ruth. Li te devni madanm li, epi li te antre ladann. Konsa SENYÈ a te fè l kapab vin ansent e li te fè yon fis.
14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman, and let his name be famous in Israel.
Alò fanm yo te di a Naomi: “Beni se SENYÈ a ki pa t kite ou san redanmtè jodi a. Ke non li kapab vin rekonèt toupatou an Israël!
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.
Anplis ke li kapab devni pou ou yon redanmtè lavi ak yon soutyen pou vyeyès ou. Anplis, pou bèlfi ou, ki renmen ou e ki pran swen ou pi byen pase sèt fis ki te bay li nesans.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
Alò, Naomi te pran pitit la, te fè l kouche sou janm li yo pou te pran swen li.”
17 And the women her neighbours 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.
Fanm vwazinaj la te bay li non an, epi te di: “Yon fis te ne pa Naomi!” Konsa, yo te rele li Obed. Li se papa a Jessé, papa a David.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Hezron;
Alò, sila yo se jenerasyon a Pérets yo: Pérets te fè Hetsron,
19 and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab;
Hetsron te fè Ram; Ram te fè Amminadab;
20 and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon;
Amminadab te fè Nachschon; Nachschon te fè Salmon;
21 and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed;
Salmon te fè Boaz; Boaz te fè Obed;
22 and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Obed te fè Jessé; epi, Jessé te fè David.
