Rutu 4

1 Na ka haere a Poaha ki te kuwaha, a noho ana i reira; na ko te whanaunga tata i korerotia ra e Poaha e haere ana. Katahi tera ka mea atu, E! ko koe tonu ia! peka mai nei ki konei noho ai. Na ka peka atu ia, a noho ana.

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 Na ka tikina e ia etahi tangata o nga kaumatua o te pa, kotahi tekau, a ka mea, E noho ki konei. Na noho ana ratou.

And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you here; and they sat down.

3 Na ka mea ia ki taua whanaunga tata, E hokona ana e Naomi, i haere mai nei i te whenua o Moapa, te wahi o te mara i to tatou tuakana, i a Erimereke:

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 Na ka whakaaro ahau, me whakaatu ki a koe, me te ki atu, Mau e hoko i te aroaro o nga tangata e noho nei, i te aroaro ano hoki o nga kaumatua o toku iwi. Ki te hokona e koe, hokona: a ki te kahore e hokona, korerotia mai ki ahau, kia mohio ai aha u: kahore hoki he tangata hei hoko, ko koe anake, a ko ahau to muri i a koe. Na ka mea tera, Maku e hoko.

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.

5 Katahi a Poaha ka mea, A te ra e hoko ai koe i te mara i te ringa o Naomi, e hoko ana hoki koe i a Rutu, i taua Moapi, i te wahine a te tupapaku, hei whakaara ingoa ake mo te tupapaku ki tona wahi tupu.

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.

6 Na ka mea taua whanaunga tata, E kore e taea te hoko e ahau maku; kei he toku kainga tupu: mau taku hokonga e hoko; e kore hoki e taea te hoko e ahau.

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].

7 Na, i mua ko te tikanga tenei i roto i a Iharaira mo nga hoko mai ano, mo nga whakawhiti, hei whakau mo nga mea katoa; unuhia ai e tetahi tona hu a ka hoatu ki tona hoa: a hei kaiwhakaatu tena i roto i a Iharaira.

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 Na ka mea taua whanaunga ki a Poaha, Mau e hoko. A unuhia ake e ia tona hu.

And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy my right for yourself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.

9 Na ka mea a Poaha ki nga kaumatua ratou ko te iwi katoa, He kaititiro koutou i tenei ra ki taku hokonga mai i nga mea katoa a Erimereke, i nga mea katoa ano a Kiriono, a Maharono, i roto i te ringa o Naomi;

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.

10 Me Rutu Moapi hoki me te wahine a Maharono, kua hokona mai ia e ahau hei wahine maku, hei whakaara ingoa ake mo te tupapaku ki tona kainga tupu, kei hautopea atu te ingoa o te tupapaku i roto i ona teina, i te kuwaha ano o tona wahi; ko koutou n ga kaititiro i tenei ra.

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 amongst his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: you [are] this day witnesses.

11 Na ka mea nga tangata katoa i te kuwaha, ratou ko nga kaumatua, He kaititiro matou. Ma Ihowa e mea tena wahine e hare mai na ki tou whare kia rite ki a Rahera raua ko Rea, na raua nei i tu ai te whare o Iharaira: kia nui ano hoki tau mahi i Epar ata, kia whai ingoa koe i Peterehema:

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.

12 Hei te whare o Parete, whanau a Tamara raua ko Hura, te rite mo tou whare, ara mo te uri e homai e Ihowa ki a koe i roto i tenei kotiro.

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.

13 Na ka tango a Poaha i a Rutu, a waiho iho ia hei wahine mana: na ka tae atu ia ki a ia, a ka meinga e Ihowa kia hapu; na kua whanau tana tama.

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 Na ka mea nga wahine ki a Naomi, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, kihai nei i waiho i a koe i tenei ra kia hapa i tetahi whanaunga tata: kia rangona ano tona ingoa i roto i a Iharaira.

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.

15 Mana hoki tou wairua e whakahoki ake, ko ia hoki hei atawahi mo tou ruruhitanga: he whanau hoki ia na tau hunaonga e aroha nei ki a koe, he nui ke nei tona pai ki a koe i to nga tama tokowhitu.

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.

16 Na ka tango a Naomi i taua tamaiti, a whakatakotoria ana ki tona uma, a ko ia hei kaihikihiki mona.

And Noemin took the child and laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.

17 Na huaina ana he ingoa mona e nga wahine e noho tata ana; i mea ratou, Kua whanau tetahi tamaiti ma Naomi; na huaina ana e ratou tona ingoa ko Opere. Ko te papa tenei o Hehe, papa o Rawiri.

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 Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Parete: na Parete ko Heterono.

And these [are] the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esrom:

19 Na Heterono ko Rame: na Rame ko Aminarapa,

Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.

20 Na Aminarapa ko Nahahona: na Nahahona ko Haramono,

And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.

21 Na Haramono ko Poaha: na Poaha ko Opere,

And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.

22 Na Opere ko Hehe: na Hehe ko Rawiri.

And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.
