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.
Ya mere, Boaz pụrụ gaa nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ, nọdụ ala nʼebe ahụ. Ọ dịghị anya onye mgbapụta ahụ dị nso nke Boaz kwuru okwu banyere ya si nʼebe ahụ na-agafe. Boaz kpọrọ ya sị, “Enyi m bịa nọdụ ala.” Ọ bịara nọdụ ala.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
Boaz kpọrọ mmadụ iri, ndị bụ ndị okenye obodo ahụ, gwa ha, “Nọdụnụ ala nʼebe a.” Ha mere otu ahụ.
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:
Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara nwoke onye mgbapụta ahụ dị nso sị, “Naomi, onye si nʼala ndị Moab lọta, na-achọ ire ala nwanna anyị nwoke Elimelek.
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.
Ahụrụ m na o kwesiri ka m buru ụzọ gwa gị ka ị zụọ ya nʼihu ndị a nọ ọdụ nʼebe a, na nʼihu ndị okenye obodo anyị. Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-agbara ya, gwa m, ọ bụrụkwanụ na ị gaghị agbara ya, gwa m, ka m mara ihe m ga-eme. Nʼihi na ọ bụ gị ka ọ dịrị ịgbapụta ya. Mụ onwe m na-esote gị.” Ọ zara sị, “Aga m agbapụta ya.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Boaz sịrị, “Nʼụbọchị ị ga-azụrụ ala ahụ site nʼaka Naomi ka ị ga-enwetakwa Rut onye Moab bụ nwunye onye ahụ nwụrụ anwụ, ime ka aha onye ahụ nwụrụ anwụ na ihe nketa ya na-adịgide.”
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.
Na nke a, onye nchekwa mgbapụta ahụ sịrị, “Apụghị m ịgbapụta ya nʼihi na e nwere m ike itinye ihe nketa m na nsogbu. Gị onwe gị gbapụta ya. Nke a agaghị ekwe m omume.”
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.
Na mgbe ochie nʼala Izrel, ime ka mgbapụta ihe na iwefe ihe site nʼaka baa nʼaka zuo oke, otu onye ga-eyipụ akpụkpọụkwụ ya were ya nye onye nke ọzọ. Otu a ka e si ekpebi okwu gbasara orire na ọzụzụ, na-ime ka ihe ndị ọzọ guzosie ike nʼala Izrel.
8 So the near kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thyself. And he drew off his shoe.
Nʼihi ya, mgbe nwoke ahụ gwara Boaz sị ya, “Zụrụ ala ahụ nʼonwe gị,” o yipụtara akpụkpọụkwụ ya.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Boaz kwupụtara na ntị ndị okenye ndị ahụ na ndị mmadụ nọ nʼebe ahụ sị ha, “Unu bụ ndị akaebe na esitela m nʼaka Naomi zụrụ ala niile Elimelek, na Kilịọn na Mahlọn nwere.
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.
Azụrụkwala m Rut onye Moab, nwunye Mahlọn ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m, ime ka aha onye nwụrụ anwụ na ihe nketa ya na-adịgide, ka aha ha hapụ ifu nʼetiti ndị ikwu ya maọbụ site nʼobodo ebe amụrụ ya. Taa unu niile bụ ndị akaebe m.”
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:
Mgbe ahụ, ndị okenye na ndị niile nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama kwuru sị, “Anyị bụ ndị akaebe. Ka Onyenwe anyị mee nwanyị a na-abata nʼezinaụlọ gị ka ọ dịrị ka Rechel na Lịa, ndị ebo Izrel niile sitere na ha pụta! Ka ị bụrụkwa ọgaranya nʼagbụrụ Efrata, ghọọkwa onye a ma ama na Betlehem.
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.
Site nʼụmụ Onyenwe anyị ga-enye gị site na nwanyị a, ka ezinaụlọ gị dịrị ka nke Perez onye Tama mụụrụ Juda.”
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.
Boaz kpọọrọ Rut ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya. Mgbe ya na Rut dinakọrọ, Onyenwe anyị nyeere ya aka ịtụrụ ime. Ọ mụkwara nwa nwoke.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị inyom obodo ahụ bịakwutere Naomi sị ya, “Onye a gọziri agọzi ka Onyenwe anyị bụ, onye na-agbawaghị gị aka onye agbụrụ mgbapụta dị nso. Ka aha ya bụrụ ihe ga-ada ụda nʼala Izrel niile.
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.
Ya wetakwara gị ntute na ndụ gị ma bụrụkwa onye ga-azụ gị nʼisi awọ gị. Nʼihi na nwunye nwa gị, onye hụrụ gị nʼanya, onye baara gị uru karịa ndị ikom asaa, amụọrala gị nwa nwoke.”
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
Naomi kuuru nwantakịrị ahụ, jikụọ ya nʼapata ya, lekọtaa ya.
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.
Ndị inyom ndị agbataobi ya sịrị, “Ugbu a, nʼikpeazụ, Naomi enwetala nwa nwoke ọzọ!” Ha gụrụ ya Obed. Ọ bụkwa onye ahụ bụ nna Jesi, onye bụ nna Devid.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Hezron;
Nke a bụ usoro ndị a mụrụ site na Perez. Perez mụrụ Hezrọn
19 and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab;
Hezrọn mụrụ Ram Ram mụrụ Aminadab
20 and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon;
Aminadab mụrụ Nashọn Nashọn mụrụ Salmọn
21 and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed;
Salmọn mụrụ Boaz Boaz mụrụ Obed
22 and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Obed mụrụ Jesi Jesi mụrụ Devid.
