Rit 4
Haitian Creole Version
4 ¶ Bòz ale nan pòtay lavil la, kote moun yo konn reyini an, epi li chita. Lè sa a, yon moun vin ap pase. Se te nèg ki te fanmi Elimelèk pi pre pase l' la, nonm Bòz t'ap pale Rit la. Bòz rele l', li di l': -Entèl, vini m' pale ou, monchè! Chita non! Nonm lan al jwenn li, li chita.
2 Bòz fè rele dis nan chèf fanmi lavil la, li fè yo chita la tou. Lè yo fin chita,
3 li di nonm ki te fanmi pre Elimelèk la: -Naomi tounen soti nan peyi Moab. Koulye a, li ta vle vann jaden ki te pou Elimelèk, fanmi nou an.
4 Mwen kwè se devwa m' pou m' fè ou konnen sa. Si ou vle achte tè a, ou mèt di l' devan dis mesye chèf yo ki chita la a, paske se ou menm an premye lalwa rekonèt dwa sa a. Konsa tou, si ou pa vle, ou mèt di l', paske apre ou, se mwen menm ki gen dwa sa a. Nonm lan di l': -M'ap achte l'.
5 Lè sa a Bòz di l': -Bon. Mwen byen kontan. Men, si ou achte jaden an nan men Naomi ak Rit, ti fanm peyi Moab la, vèv pitit Elimelèk la, se pou Rit vin madanm ou tou pou non fanmi defen an pa pèdi, epi pou tè a ka rete nan fanmi defen an tou.
6 Lè sa a, nonm lan reponn: -Si se konsa, mwen p'ap ka achte tè a. Paske, si m' achte l', pitit mwen riske pèdi nan sa m'ap kite pou yo a. Ou mèt achte l' ou menm. Mwen p'ap fè zafè a ankò.
7 Nan tan sa a, nan peyi Izrayèl, lè yon moun pase dwa li genyen pou achte osinon pou twoke yon tè bay yon lòt moun, men sa yo te konn fè: Moun ki te gen dwa a wete yon grenn sapat nan pye l', li bay lòt moun lan li. Se konsa moun Izrayèl yo te konn fè tout moun konnen zafè a te regle nèt.
8 Se poutèt sa, lè nonm lan di Bòz ou mèt achte tè a, li wete yon grenn sapat nan pye l', li lonje l' bay Bòz.
9 ¶ Lè sa a, Bòz di chèf fanmi yo ak lòt moun yo ki te la a: -Nou tout nou temwen, pa vre! Jòdi a, yo ban m' dwa achte nan men Naomi tou sa ki te pou Elimelèk ak de pitit gason l' yo, Maklon ak Kiljon.
10 An menm tan tou, yo ban m' dwa pran Rit, vèv Maklon an, pou madanm mwen. Konsa, tè a va rete nan fanmi defen an: Non defen an p'ap pèdi non plis nan lavil la. N'a sèvi m' temwen pou sa ki rive jòdi a.
11 Chèf yo ak lòt moun yo di l': -Wi, nou temwen. N'ap lapriyè Seyè a pou madanm sa a, ki pral antre lakay ou a, tankou Rachèl ak Leya ki te fè anpil pitit pou Jakòb, zansèt pèp Izrayèl la. Se pou ou vin rich anpil nan branch fanmi Efrat la. Se pou ou gen bon repitasyon nan lavil Betleyèm.
12 Se pou pitit Seyè a va ba ou ak jenn fanm sa a fè onè fanmi an, menm jan Perèz, pitit gason Jida ak Tama a, te fè l' pou fanmi l'.
13 ¶ Se konsa, Bòz pran Rit pou madanm li. Seyè a te beni Rit. Rit vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason.
14 Medam lavil yo di Naomi konsa: -Lwanj pou Seyè a! Jòdi a li ba ou yon pitit gason ki pral pran swen ou. N'ap lapriyè pou ti gason sa a kite non l' nan peyi Izrayèl la.
15 Bèlfi ou la gen tan renmen ou. Li fè pou ou sa sèt pitit gason pa ta ka fè. Koulye a, li ba ou yon pitit pitit ki pral fè ou anvi viv ankò, yon pitit gason ki pral tounen baton vyeyès ou.
16 Naomi pran ti bebe a, li kenbe l' lakay li, li pran swen li tankou pitit li.
17 Medam yo ki rete nan vwazinaj la rele ti gason an Obèd. Yo mache di tout moun: Naomi gen yon lòt pitit gason. Se Obèd sa a ki pita vin gen yon pitit gason yo te rele Izayi, Izayi sa a ki te papa David.
18 Men non zansèt David yo depi Perèz: Perèz te papa Ezwon,
19 Ezwon te papa Ram. Ram te papa Aminadad,
20 Aminadad te papa Nachon. Nachon te papa Salmon,
21 Salmon te papa Bòz. Bòz te papa Obèd,
22 Obèd te papa Izayi, epi Izayi te papa David.

Boaz Marries Ruth
4 Meanwhile Boaz went up to the town gate(A) and sat down there just as the guardian-redeemer[a](B) he had mentioned(C) came along. Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.
2 Boaz took ten of the elders(D) of the town and said, “Sit here,” and they did so.(E) 3 Then he said to the guardian-redeemer, “Naomi, who has come back from Moab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our relative Elimelek.(F) 4 I thought I should bring the matter to your attention and suggest that you buy it in the presence of these seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, do so. But if you[b] will not, tell me, so I will know. For no one has the right to do it except you,(G) and I am next in line.”
“I will redeem it,” he said.
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite,(H) the[c] dead man’s widow, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property.”(I)
6 At this, the guardian-redeemer said, “Then I cannot redeem(J) it because I might endanger my own estate. You redeem it yourself. I cannot do it.”(K)
7 (Now in earlier times in Israel, for the redemption(L) and transfer of property to become final, one party took off his sandal(M) and gave it to the other. This was the method of legalizing transactions(N) in Israel.)(O)
8 So the guardian-redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy it yourself.” And he removed his sandal.(P)
9 Then Boaz announced to the elders and all the people, “Today you are witnesses(Q) that I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelek, Kilion and Mahlon. 10 I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite,(R) Mahlon’s widow, as my wife,(S) in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property, so that his name will not disappear from among his family or from his hometown.(T) Today you are witnesses!(U)”
11 Then the elders and all the people at the gate(V) said, “We are witnesses.(W) May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah,(X) who together built up the family of Israel. May you have standing in Ephrathah(Y) and be famous in Bethlehem.(Z) 12 Through the offspring the Lord gives you by this young woman, may your family be like that of Perez,(AA) whom Tamar(AB) bore to Judah.”
Naomi Gains a Son
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When he made love to her, the Lord enabled her to conceive,(AC) and she gave birth to a son.(AD) 14 The women(AE) said to Naomi: “Praise be to the Lord,(AF) who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer.(AG) May he become famous throughout Israel! 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law,(AH) who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons,(AI) has given him birth.”
16 Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him. 17 The women living there said, “Naomi has a son!” And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse,(AJ) the father of David.(AK)
The Genealogy of David(AL)
18 This, then, is the family line of Perez(AM):
