1Ascendit ergo Booz ad portam, et sedit ibi. Cumque vidisset propinquum præterire, de quo prius sermo habitus est, dixit ad eum: Declina paulisper, et sede hic: vocans eum nomine suo. Qui divertit, et sedit.
1Naʻe toki ʻalu hake ai ʻa Poasi ki he matapā, pea nofo ki lalo ia ʻi ai: pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu ange ʻae kāinga ʻaia naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Poasi; ʻaia naʻe pehē ki ai ia, “ʻE, ʻa koe, tafoki mai, pea nofo ki lalo ʻi heni.” Pea naʻe tafoki ia, ʻo nofo ki lalo.
2Tollens autem Booz decem viros de senioribus civitatis, dixit ad eos: Sedete hic.
2Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ko e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou nofo ki lalo ʻi heni.” Pea naʻa nau nofo ki lalo.
3Quibus sedentibus, locutus est ad propinquum: Partem agri fratris nostri Elimelech vendet Noëmi, quæ reversa est de regione Moabitide:
3Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kāinga, “Ko Naomi ʻaia kuo toe haʻu mei he fonua ko Moape, ʻoku fakatau ʻe ia ʻae konga fonua, ʻaia naʻe ʻia ʻElimeleki ko hotau tokoua.
4quod audire te volui, et tibi dicere coram cunctis sedentibus, et majoribus natu de populo meo. Si vis possidere jure propinquitatis, eme, et posside: sin autem displicet tibi, hoc ipsum indica mihi, ut sciam quid facere debeam: nullus enim est propinquus, excepto te, qui prior es, et me, qui secundus sum. At ille respondit: Ego agrum emam.
4Pea ne u pehē, “Te u fakahā ia kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke fakatau ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻo hoku kakai. Kapau te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke huhuʻi ia: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke fakahā kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha kehe ke huhuʻi ia ka ko koe; pea ʻoku ou hoko mo koe.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u huhuʻi ia.”
5Cui dixit Booz: Quando emeris agrum de manu mulieris, Ruth quoque Moabitidem, quæ uxor defuncti fuit, debes accipere: ut suscites nomen propinqui tui in hæreditate sua.
5Pea pehē ai ʻe Poasi, “Ko e ʻaho ko ia ʻoku ke fakatau ʻae ngoue ʻi he nima ʻo Naomi, ʻoku totonu hoʻo fakatau ia ʻi he nima ʻo Lute foki ko e fefine Moape, ko e uaifi ʻoe pekia, ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia ki hono tofiʻa.
6Qui respondit: Cedo juri propinquitatis: neque enim posteritatem familiæ meæ delere debeo: tu meo utere privilegio, quo me libenter carere profiteor.
6¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kāinga, “ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa huhuʻi ia moʻoku, telia naʻaku maumau ai ʻae tofiʻa ʻoʻoku: ke ke huhuʻi ʻaia ʻoku ʻoʻoku moʻou; he ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa huhuʻi ia.”
7Hic autem erat mos antiquitus in Israël inter propinquos, ut siquando alter alteri suo juri cedebat, ut esset firma concessio, solvebat homo calceamentum suum, et dabat proximo suo: hoc erat testimonium cessionis in Israël.
7Pea ko eni hono anga ʻi muʻa ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoe huhuʻi, pea ki he fetongi, ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē; naʻe vete ʻe he tangata hono topuvaʻe, pea ʻatu ia ki hono kaungāʻapi: pea ko e meʻa fakamoʻoni ia ʻi ʻIsileli.
8Dixit ergo propinquo suo Booz: Tolle calceamentum tuum. Quod statim solvit de pede suo.
8Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he kāinga kia Poasi, “Ke ke fakatau ia moʻou.” Ko ia naʻa ne vete ʻo toʻo hono topuvaʻe.
9At ille majoribus natu, et universo populo: Testes vos, inquit, estis hodie, quod possederim omnis quæ fuerunt Elimelech, et Chelion, et Mahalon, tradente Noëmi;
9¶ Pea pehē ʻe Poasi ki he kau mātuʻa, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni kuo u fakatau ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻo ʻElimeleki, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻo Kilioni mo Maloni, ʻi he nima ʻo Naomi.
10et Ruth Moabitidem, uxorem Mahalon, in conjugium sumpserim, ut suscitem nomen defuncti in hæreditate sua, ne vocabulum ejus de familia sua ac fratribus et populo deleatur. Vos, inquam, hujus rei testes estis.
10Pea mo Lute foki ko e fefine Moape, ko e uaifi ʻo Maloni, kuo u fakatau ko hoku uaifi, ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia ki hono tofiʻa, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa motuhi ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia mei hono kāinga, pea mei he matapā ʻo hono potu: ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni.”
11Respondit omnis populus, qui erat in porta, et majores natu: Nos testes sumus: faciat Dominus hanc mulierem, quæ ingreditur domum tuam, sicut Rachel et Liam, quæ ædificaverunt domum Israël: ut sit exemplum virtutis in Ephratha, et habeat celebre nomen in Bethlehem:
11Pea naʻe lea ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he matapā, mo e kau mātuʻa, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu. Ke ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae fefine kuo haʻu ki ho fale ke hangē ko Lesieli mo Lia, ʻakinaua naʻa na langa ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli: pea ke tāpuekina koe ʻi ʻEfalata, pea ke ongolelei koe ʻi Petelihema:
12fiatque domus tua sicut domus Phares, quem Thamar peperit Judæ, de semine quod tibi dederit Dominus ex hac puella.
12pea ke hoko ʻo tatau ho fale mo e fale ʻo Felesi, ʻaia naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Tema kia Siuta, ʻi he hako ʻaia ʻe tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he fefine mui ni.”
13Tulit itaque Booz Ruth, et accepit uxorem: ingressusque est ad eam, et dedit illi Dominus ut conciperet, et pareret filium.
13¶ Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe Poasi ʻa Lute, pea hoko ia ko hono uaifi: pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu kiate ia, naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe Sihova ke feitama, pea ne fanauʻi ʻae tama.
14Dixeruntque mulieres ad Noëmi: Benedictus Dominus, qui non est passus ut deficeret successor familiæ tuæ, et vocaretur nomen ejus in Israël:
14Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau fefine kia Naomi, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai tuku liʻaki koe taʻehao-kāinga, koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻo ongoongolelei hono hingoa ʻi ʻIsileli.
15et habeas qui consoletur animam tuam, et enutriat senectutem: de nuru enim tua natus est, quæ te diligit, et multo tibi melior est, quam si septem haberes filios.
15Pea ʻe ʻiate koe ia ko e fakaakeake moʻui, pea ko e tauhi kiate koe ʻi hoʻo motuʻa: koeʻuhi ko hoʻo taʻahine ʻi he fono, ʻaia ʻoku ʻofa kiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku lelei lahi kiate koe ʻi he tama tangata ʻe toko fitu, kuo ne fanauʻi kiate ia.”
16Susceptumque Noëmi puerum posuit in sinu suo, et nutricis ac gerulæ fungebatur officio.
16Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Naomi ʻae tamasiʻi, pea ʻai ia ki hono fatafata, pea hoko ia ko hono tauhi.
17Vicinæ autem mulieris congratulantes ei, et dicentes: Natus est filius Noëmi: vocaverunt nomen ejus Obed: hic est pater Isai, patris David.
17Pea naʻe fakahingoa ia ʻe he kau fefine ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tupu ʻae tama kia Naomi, pea naʻa nau ui hono hingoa ko ʻOpeti: ko ia ia ko e tamai ʻa Sese, ko e tamai ʻa Tevita.
18Hæ sunt generationes Phares: Phares genuit Esron,
18¶ Pea ko e ngaahi toʻutangata eni ʻo Felesi: naʻe tupu ʻia Felesi ʻa Hesiloni,
19Esron genuit Aram, Aram genuit Aminadab,
19Pea tupu ʻia Hesiloni ʻa Lame, pea tupu ʻia Lame ʻa ʻAminitapi,
20Aminadab genuit Nahasson, Nahasson genuit Salmon,
20Pea tupu ʻia ʻAminitapi ʻa Nasoni, pea tupu ʻia Nasoni ʻa Salimoni,
21Salmon genuit Booz, Booz genuit Obed,
21Pea tupu ʻia Salimoni ʻa Poasi, pea tupu ʻia Poasi ʻa ʻOpeti,
22Obed genuit Isai, Isai genuit David.
22Pea tupu ʻia ʻOpeti ʻa Sese, pea tupu ʻia Sese ʻa Tevita.”
