< رَاعُوث 4 >

فَصَعِدَ بُوعَزُ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ وَجَلَسَ هُنَاكَ. وَإِذَا بِٱلْوَلِيِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُ بُوعَزُ عَابِرٌ. فَقَالَ: «مِلْ وَٱجْلِسْ هُنَا أَنْتَ يَا فُلَانُ ٱلْفُلَانِيُّ». فَمَالَ وَجَلَسَ. ١ 1
Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. And, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by, to whom he said, Such man, stay, turn aside. Sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ عَشَرَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ شُيُوخِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱجْلِسُوا هُنَا». فَجَلَسُوا. ٢ 2
And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْوَلِيِّ: «إِنَّ نُعْمِيَ ٱلَّتِي رَجَعَتْ مِنْ بِلَادِ مُوآبَ تَبِيعُ قِطْعَةَ ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّتِي لِأَخِينَا أَلِيمَالِكَ. ٣ 3
And he said to the near kinsman, Naomi, who has come again out of the country of Moab, sells the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's.
فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أُخْبِرُكَ قَائِلًا: ٱشْتَرِ قُدَّامَ ٱلْجَالِسِينَ وَقُدَّامَ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِي. فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَفُكُّ فَفُكَّ. وَإِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَفُكُّ فَأَخْبِرْنِي لِأَعْلَمَ. لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ غَيْرُكَ يَفُكُّ وَأَنَا بَعْدَكَ». فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَفُكُّ». ٤ 4
And I thought to disclose it to thee, saying, Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou will redeem it, redeem it, but if thou will not redeem it, then tell me that I may know, for there is none to redeem it besides thee, and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ: «يَوْمَ تَشْتَرِي ٱلْحَقْلَ مِنْ يَدِ نُعْمِي تَشْتَرِي أَيْضًا مِنْ يَدِ رَاعُوثَ ٱلْمُوآبِيَّةِ ٱمْرَأَةِ ٱلْمَيِّتِ لِتُقِيمَ ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ عَلَى مِيرَاثِهِ». ٥ 5
Then Boaz said, That day thou buy the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
فَقَالَ ٱلْوَلِيُّ: «لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَفُكَّ لِنَفْسِي لِئَّلَا أُفْسِدَ مِيرَاثِي. فَفُكَّ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ فِكَاكِي لِأَنِّي لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَفُكَّ». ٦ 6
And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself lest I mar my own inheritance. Take thou my right of redemption on thee, for I cannot redeem it.
وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْعَادَةُ سَابِقًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَمْرِ ٱلْفِكَاكِ وَٱلْمُبَادَلَةِ، لِأَجْلِ إِثْبَاتِ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ. يَخْلَعُ ٱلرَّجُلُ نَعْلَهُ وَيُعْطِيهِ لِصَاحِبِهِ. فَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْعَادَةُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٧ 7
Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: A man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor. And this was the manner of attestation in Israel.
فَقَالَ ٱلْوَلِيُّ لِبُوعَزَ: «ٱشْتَرِ لِنَفْسِكَ». وَخَلَعَ نَعْلَهُ. ٨ 8
So the near kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for thyself. And he drew off his shoe.
فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ لِلشُّيُوخِ وَلِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «أَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنِّي قَدِ ٱشْتَرَيْتُ كُلَّ مَا لِأَلِيمَالِكَ وَكُلَّ مَا لِكِلْيُونَ وَمَحْلُونَ مِنْ يَدِ نُعْمِي. ٩ 9
And Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, Ye 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.
وَكَذَا رَاعُوثُ ٱلْمُوآبِيَّةُ ٱمْرَأَةُ مَحْلُونَ قَدِ ٱشْتَرَيْتُهَا لِيَ ٱمْرَأَةً، لِأُقِيمَ ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ عَلَى مِيرَاثِهِ وَلَا يَنْقَرِضُ ٱسْمُ ٱلْمَيِّتِ مِنْ بَيْنِ إِخْوَتِهِ وَمِنْ بَابِ مَكَانِهِ. أَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ ٱلْيَوْمَ». ١٠ 10
Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place. Ye are witnesses this day.
فَقَالَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ: «نَحْنُ شُهُودٌ. فَلْيَجْعَلِ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ ٱلدَّاخِلَةَ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ كَرَاحِيلَ وَكَلَيْئَةَ ٱللَّتَيْنِ بَنَتَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَٱصْنَعْ بِبَأْسٍ فِي أَفْرَاتَةَ وَكُنْ ذَا ٱسْمٍ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. ١١ 11
And all the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Jehovah make the woman that has come into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel, and do thou worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
وَلْيَكُنْ بَيْتُكَ كَبَيْتِ فَارَصَ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ ثَامَارُ لِيَهُوذَا، مِنَ ٱلنَّسْلِ ٱلَّذِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَتَاةِ». ١٢ 12
And let thy house be like the house of Perez whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give thee by this young woman.
فَأَخَذَ بُوعَزُ رَاعُوثَ ٱمْرَأَةً وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا، فَأَعْطَاهَا ٱلرَّبُّ حَبَلًا فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا. ١٣ 13
So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And he went in to her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bore a son.
فَقَالَتِ ٱلنِّسَاءُ لِنُعْمِي: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُعْدِمْكِ وَلِيًّا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِكَيْ يُدْعَى ٱسْمُهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٤ 14
And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah, who has not left thee this day without a near kinsman. And let his name be famous in Israel.
وَيَكُونُ لَكِ لِإِرْجَاعِ نَفْسٍ وَإِعَالَةِ شَيْبَتِكِ. لِأَنَّ كَنَّتَكِ ٱلَّتِي أَحَبَّتْكِ قَدْ وَلَدَتْهُ، وَهِيَ خَيْرٌ لَكِ مِنْ سَبْعَةِ بَنِينَ». ١٥ 15
And he shall be to thee a restorer of life, and a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law, who loves thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, has borne him.
فَأَخَذَتْ نُعْمِي ٱلْوَلَدَ وَوَضَعَتْهُ فِي حِضْنِهَا وَصَارَتْ لَهُ مُرَبِّيَةً. ١٦ 16
And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
وَسَمَّتْهُ ٱلْجَارَاتُ ٱسْمًا قَائِلَاتٍ: «قَدْ وُلِدَ ٱبْنٌ لِنُعْمِي» وَدَعَوْنَ ٱسْمَهُ عُوبِيدَ. هُوَ أَبُو يَسَّى أَبِي دَاوُدَ. ١٧ 17
And the women, her neighbors, gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi. And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ فَارَصَ: فَارَصُ وَلَدَ حَصْرُونَ، ١٨ 18
Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begot Hezron,
وَحَصْرُونُ وَلَدَ رَامَ، وَرَامُ وَلَدَ عَمِّينَادَابَ، ١٩ 19
and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,
وَعَمِّينَادَابُ وَلَدَ نَحْشُونَ، وَنَحْشُونُ وَلَدَ سَلْمُونَ، ٢٠ 20
and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
وَسَلْمُونُ وَلَدَ بُوعَزَ، وَبُوعَزُ وَلَدَ عُوبِيدَ، ٢١ 21
and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
وَعُوبِيدُ وَلَدَ يَسَّى، وَيَسَّى وَلَدَ دَاوُدَ. ٢٢ 22
and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
