¹Huchiin Boazi kulh kongpi ah a hoh tou a, huailaiah a tu a: huan, ngaiin, a tanau bul uh a tungtang thu Boaziin a gen a hongpaia: huai mi kiangah, E! nang na hi maw! hongpial inla tu dih ve, a chi a. Huan amah a hongpiala a tuta hi.

¹Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the 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.

²Huan, huai khuaa upate laka mi sawm a pi a, a kianguah, Hiai ah tu dih ua, a chi a, huchiin a tuta uh.

²And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.

³Huan, a tanau bul uh kiangah, Moab gam akipan hongkik Naomiin I unaupa Elimelek gam a juaka;

³And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:

⁴Huchiin na kianga, Hiaia tute mitmuhin leh ka mite upate mitmuhin leiin. Na tat nopleh tan inla, a hihhangin na tat nop keileh ka theihtheihna dingin honhilhin; nang loulah kuamah a tan mi dia kilawm a om ngal kei ua; huan, nang zomin kei ka hi chih nang hon theihsak kiphamohin ka thei, a chi a. Huan, aman, ka tan ding, a chi a.

⁴And 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 beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

⁵Huan, Boaziin, Naomi kianga kipana huai gam na lei niin, misi ji, Moab numei Ruthi akipan misi min beilou a a gouluahmi ding a omjel theihna dingin na lei tel ding ahi, a chi a.

⁵Then 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.

⁶A tanau bulpa un, Kei dingin jaw ka tan theikei, huchilou in jaw keimah gouluah lamthu ka hihgawp kha dinga, ka tat theihna nang tang maiin; ken jaw tan theilou ka hi mai hi, a chi a.

⁶And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.

⁷Nidanglaia Israelte laka thil bangkim a hihkipna ding ua a kitatdan uleh a kikhen dan uh hichi ahi: Khedap a phel ua, avengte uh a pia ua, huaituh Israelte laka a hihdan uh ahi.

⁷Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel.

⁸Huchiin a tanau bul un Boazi kiangah, Nang nang a dingin lei zawin, a chi a, Huan, a khedap a phela.

⁸Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.

⁹Huan, Boaziin upate leh mipi tengteng kiangah, Tuniin noute Elimelek thil neih tengteng leh Kilon leh Malon thil neih tengteng Naomi kianga kipan ka lei chih theihpihte na hi uhi.

⁹And 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.

¹⁰Huan, huai kia hilou in misi pen a min man louhna dingin Moab numei Ruthi, Malon ji ka ji dingin ka leia, huai, tuniin noute a theihpihte na hi uhi, a chi a.

¹⁰Moreover 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.

¹¹Huan, kulh kongpi a mipi tengteng leh upaten, theihpihte ka hi uh, Na ina numei honglut Rakil leh Lea, Israel inkuan dingsak nihte bangin TOUPAN bawl hen: huan, Ephrathah suanhuai takin hih inla, Bethlehem ah minthang takin hingomin:

¹¹And 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 Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:

¹²Huan, TOUPAN hiai nungak akipan suan nang a hon bawlsak ding jiakin na inkuan tuh Tamarin Juda a suan sak Perez inkuan bang honghi hen, a chi uhi.

¹²And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.

¹³Huchiin Boaziin Ruthi a pia, a ji a honghitaa; huan a kithuahpiha, TOUPAN nau a paisaka, huan, tapa a neia.

¹³So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.

¹⁴Huan, numeiin Naomi kiangah, tuni mahmaha tanau nai sam loua a honomsak TOUPA phatin om henla; Israelte lakah a min hongthang hen.

¹⁴And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.

¹⁵Huan, amah pen na hinna tungdingpa leh na tek lama honvak a honghi dinga; na mounu nang hon itnu, tapa sagihte sanga nanga dia hoihin amah lah a suangta ngala, a chi ua.

¹⁵And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy 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 born him.

¹⁶Huan, Naomiin nau a laa, a poma, a donta.

¹⁶And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.

¹⁷Huan, a invengten numei a min a saksak ua, Naomi a dingin tapa a hongpianga, chiin a min dingin Obed a sa uh; amah bel, David pa Jesai pa ahi.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸Hiaite Perez suante ahi ua; Perez in Hezron a suanga;

¹⁸Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

¹⁹Huan, Hezronin Ram a suanga; huan, Ramin Aminadab a suanga;

¹⁹And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,

²⁰Huan, Aminadabin Nason a suanga, Nasonin Salmon a suanga;

²⁰And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

²¹Huan, Salmonin Boazi a suanga, huan, Boaziin Obed a suanga;Huan, Obedin Jesai a suanga, huan, Jesaiin David a suang hi.

²¹And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

²²Huan, Obedin Jesai a suanga, huan, Jesaiin David a suang hi.

²²And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
