Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, 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.
2Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here,” and they sat down.
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.
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.
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 thought I should tell 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.”
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.
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.”
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.
6The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I endanger my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t redeem it.”
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 was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of formalizing transactions 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 the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” then he took off his sandal.
8Olelo mai la ka hoahanau ia Boaza, E kuai oe nou iho; a wehe ae la ia i kona kamaa.
9Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.
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.
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 may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”
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.
11All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous 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.
12Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the LORD will give you by 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.
13So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she bore 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.
14The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let his name be famous 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.
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 given birth to him.”
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.
16Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and became nurse to him.
16Lawe ae la o Naomi i ua keiki la, a waiho iho la ma kona poli, a lilo iho la ia i kahu nona.
17The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi”. They named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, 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.
18Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
18Eia na hanauna o Pareza; na Pareza o Hezerona,
19and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
19Na Hezerona o Rama, na Rama o Aminadaba,
20and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
20Na Aminadaba o Nahasona, a na Nahasona o Salemona,
21and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
21Na Salemona o Boaza, a na Boaza o Obeda,
22and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
22Na Obeda o Iese, na Iese o Davida.
