1Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He turned aside, and sat down.
1 A go mo, Buwaza koy birno me gaa ka goro. Kala dumo kaŋ ga maan a, nga kaŋ Buwaza ci din go, a kaa ka bisa. Buwaza ne a se: «He, waane filaana! Gana ka kaa neewo ka goro.» A binde gana ka kaa ka goro.
2He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here.” They sat down.
2 Buwaza kande kwaara arkusu beeri way ka ne: «Wa goro ne.» I goro.
3He said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s.
3 A ye ka ne dumi maananta se: «Neyomi neeya kaŋ kaa ka fun Mowab laabu. A go mo, a ga laabo jare fo neera, kaŋ ga ti iri nya-izo Elimelek wane.
4I thought to disclose it to you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.” He said, “I will redeem it.”
4 Ay mo saaware ka ne ay g'a cabe ni se. Ni m'a day borey kaŋ goono ga goro yaŋ jine, ay borey arkusey jine nooya. Da ni g'a fansa*, m'a fansa. Amma da ni s'a fansa, kulu ma ci ay se, ay ma du ka bay, zama fansako* fo si no kala nin, ni banda mo, kala ay.» Bora din ne: «Ay g'a fansa.»
5Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”
5 Gaa no Buwaza ne: «To, han kaŋ hane ni ga faro day Neyomi gaa, kala ni m'a day Ruta, Mowabancey ize wayo kambe ra, buukwa wane, zama i ma buukwa maa tunandi a tubo boŋ.»
6The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t redeem it.”
6 Dumo kaŋ ga maan din binde ne: «Ay si hin k'a fansa* ay boŋ se, zama ya s'ay tubo sara. Ay diyaŋ gaa a ga hagu ni m'a sambu ni boŋ se k'a fansa, zama ay wo si hin k'a fansa.»
7Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of attestation in Israel.
7 Woone alaada no za doŋ Israyla ra, fansayaŋ sanni da barmayyaŋ boŋ, zama i ma hay kulu tabbatandi: kala boro ma nga taamu foobu k'a no boro fa din se. Woodin no ga ti mate kaŋ i ga fansa seeda nd'a Israyla ra doŋ.
8So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.” He took off his shoe.
8 Kala dumo kaŋ ga maan din ne Buwaza se: «A day ni boŋ se.» A na nga taamu foobu ka kaa mo.
9Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, “You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.
9 Buwaza ne arkusey da jama kulu se: «Araŋ ga ti seedayaŋ hunkuna. Hay kulu kaŋ ga ti Elimelek wane da Cilon wane da Malon wane, ay n'i day Neyomi kambe ra.
10Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses this day.”
10 Ay du Malon wande mo, Ruta, Mowabancey ize wayo, a ma ciya ay wande, zama i ma buukwa maa tunandi a tubo banda, zama buukwa maa ma si daray a nya-izey ra, d'a kwaara meyo gaa mo. Araŋ ya seedayaŋ no hunkuna.»
11All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
11 Borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go kwaara meyo do, da arkusey mo ne: «Iri ya seedayaŋ no. Waybora, d'a kaa ni kwaara, Rabbi m'a te danga Rahila da Laya cine, i boro hinka, kaŋ yaŋ na Israyla dumo cina. Ni mo ma du arzaka Efrata ra. Ni ma te maa mo Baytlahami ra.
12Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Yahweh shall give you of this young woman.”
12 Ni windo mo ma te danga Farisa dumo cine, nga kaŋ Tamar hay Yahuda se, kunda ra kaŋ Rabbi ga ni no wayboro wo do.»
13So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Yahweh gave her conception, and she bore a son.
13 Buwaza binde na Ruta sambu ka te nga wande, a margu nd'a mo. Rabbi naŋ mo a ma te gunde, a hay ize aru.
14The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left you this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel.
14 Wayborey ne Neyomi se: «Sifayaŋ ma te Rabbi se, nga kaŋ mana ni naŋ hunkuna dumi kaŋ ga maan nin si. Israyla kulu ra i m'a maa bay.
15He shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.”
15 A ga te ni se fundi yeeko, ni zeena kuruko mo, zama ni anzura kaŋ ga ba nin din, kaŋ bisa ize iyye ni se, a hay.»
16Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
16 Neyomi na koociya sambu k'a ganday nga ganda ra ka te a se saajawko.
17The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, “There is a son born to Naomi”; and they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
17 Neyomi gorokasin wayborey na maa daŋ koociya ga ka ne: «I na ize aru hay Neyomi se.» I ne a se Obida, nga ga ti Yasse baaba, Dawda kaay.
18Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
18 Farisa banda neeya: Farisa na Hezron hay,
19and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
19 Hezron na Ram hay, Ram na Aminadab hay,
20and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
20 Aminadab na Naason hay, Naason na Salmon hay,
21and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
21 Salmon na Buwaza hay, Buwaza na Obida hay,
22and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
22 Obida na Yasse hay, Yasse na Dawda hay.
