1Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down.
1A LAILA pii aku la o Boaza i ka puka pa, a noho iho la ilaila; aia hoi, hele ae la ka hoahanau a Boaza i olelo ai. I aku la keia ia ia, E, o mea, e huli mai oe, a e noho iho maanei. Huli mai la ia a noho iho la.
2And Booz taking ten men of the ancients of the city, said to them: Sit ye down here.
2Lawe ae la ia i na lunakahiko o ke kulanakauhale he umi, i aku la, E noho mai oukou maanei; a noho mai la lakou.
3They sat down, and he spoke to the kinsman: Noemi, who is returned from the country of Moab, will sell a parcel of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech.
3I aku la ia i ka hoahanau, O Naomi, ka mea i hoi mai, mai ka aina i Moaba mai, ke kuai nei oia i ka aina o ke kaikuana o kaua, o Elimeleka.
4I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field.
4I iho la au, E hai aku no au ma kou pepeiao, me ka i ana aku, E kii aku oe imua o ke alo o na kanaka, a me na lunakahiko o ko'u poe kanaka. Ina i kuai oe, e kuai no, a i ole oe e kuai, e hai mai oe ia'u, i ike au; no ka mea, aole mea e ae nana e kuai, o oe wale no, a owau ka mea mahope ou. I mai la kela, E kuai no au.
5And Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman’s hand, thou must take also Ruth the Moabitess, who was the wife of the deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance.
5I aku la o Boaza, I ka la au e kuai ai i ka aina ma ka lima o Naomi, ma o Ruta la no kekahi e kuai aku ai, ma ka wahine no Moaba, ka wahine a ka mea i make, i mea e mau ai ka inoa o ka mea i make ma kona hooilina.
6He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege, which I profess I do willingly forego.
6Olelo mai la ka hoahanau, Aole hiki ia'u ke kuai no'u iho, o hoolilo auanei au i ko'u hooilina. Nau no e kuai i ko'u kuleana nou, no ka mea, aole hiki ia'u ke kuai.
7Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe, and gave it to his neighhour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel.
7Eia ko ka aoao kahiko o ka Iseraela ma ke kuai ana, a me ka hoonohonoho hou ana, i paa na mea a pau. Wehe ke kanaka i kona kamaa, a haawi ae la i kona hoalauna, i mea e hoike ai iwaena o ka Iseraela.
8So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot.
8Olelo mai la ka hoahanau ia Boaza, E kuai oe nou iho; a wehe ae la ia i kona kamaa.
9And he said to the ancients and to all the people: You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and Chelion’s, and Mahalon’s, of the hand of Noemi:
9Olelo ae la o Boaza i na lunakahiko, a i na kanaka a pau, He poe ike oukou i keia la, ua kuai au ma ka lima o Naomi i na mea a pau o Elimeleka a me na mea a pau o Kiliona, a me Mahelona.
10And have taken to wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon, to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name be cut off, from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.
10A o Ruta no hoi, no Moaba ka wahine a Mahelona, ka'u i kuai nei, i wahine na'u, i mea e paa ai ka inoa o ka mea i make ma kona hoilina, i mea hoi e hooki ole ia'i ka inoa o ka mea i make, mai kona hoahanau aku, a mai kona wahi aku. He poe ike oukou i keia la.
11Then all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name in Bethlehem:
11I mai la na kanaka a pau, ma ka puka pa, a me na lunakahiko, He poe ike makou. Na Iehova no e hoolilo mai i ka wahine i hele mai iloko o kou hale e like me Rahela a me Lea, na laua elua i kukulu i ka hale o ka Iseraela, a e waiwai hoi oe ma Eperata, a e kaulana no kou inoa ma Betelehema.
12And that the house may be, as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore unto Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
12E like hoi kou hale me ka hale o Pareza, ka mea a Tamara i hanau ai na Iuda, ma ke kauhua a Iehova e haawi mai ai ia oe na keia kaikamahine.
13Booz therefore took Ruth, and married her: and went in unto her, and the Lord gave her to conceive and to bear a son.
13Lawe ae la o Boaza ia Ruta, a lilo mai ia i wahine nana. A i kona komo ana io na la, na Iehova i haawi mai i ka hapai ana, a hanau mai la ia, he keikikane.
14And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor, that his name should be preserved in Israel.
14I aku la na wahine ia Naomi, Ua pomaikai oe ia Iehova, ka mea i hoonele ole ia oe i ka hoahanau nou, i keia la, i kaulana kona inoa iloko o ka Iseraela.
15And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.
15Nana no e hoola hou aku ia oe, i kona malama ana ia oe, i kou wa e poohina ai; no ka mea, o kau hunonawahine, i hanau mai ia ia, nana oe i aloha aku, a ua oi aku kona maikai nou, mamua o na keikikane ehiku.
16And Noemi taking the child laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto it.
16Lawe ae la o Naomi i ua keiki la, a waiho iho la ma kona poli, a lilo iho la ia i kahu nona.
17And the women her neighbours, congratulating with her and saying: There is a son born to Noemi: called his name Obed: he is the father of Isai, the father of David.
17Kapa aku la kona poe hoalauna wahine i kona inoa, i ae la, Ua hanauia ke keikikane na Naomi; a kapa aku lakou i kona inoa, o Obeda; oia ka makuakane o Iese, o ka makuakane o Davida.
18These are the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esron,
18Eia na hanauna o Pareza; na Pareza o Hezerona,
19Esron begot Aram, Aram begot Aminadab,
19Na Hezerona o Rama, na Rama o Aminadaba,
20Aminadab begot Nahasson, Nahasson begot Salmon,
20Na Aminadaba o Nahasona, a na Nahasona o Salemona,
21Salmon begot Booz, Booz begot Obed,
21Na Salemona o Boaza, a na Boaza o Obeda,
22Obed begot Isai, Isai begot David.
22Na Obeda o Iese, na Iese o Davida.
