Ruth 4

1 And Booz went up to the gate, and sat there; and behold, the relative passed by, of whom Booz spoke: and Booz said to him, Turn aside, sit down here, such a one: and he turned aside and sat down.

Potem je Boaz odšel k velikim vratom in se tam usedel in glej, sorodnik, o katerem je Boaz govoril, je prišel mimo, kateremu je rekel: »Hej, ti oné! Kreni sem in sedi tukaj.« In ta je krenil tja ter se usedel.

2 And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye here; and they sat down.

Vzel je deset mož izmed starešin mesta ter rekel: »Sedite tukaj.« In oni so se usedli.

3 And Booz said to the relative, [The matter regards] the portion of the field which was our brother Elimelech's which was given to Noemin, now returning out of the land of Moab;

Sorodniku je rekel: »Naomí, ki je ponovno prišla iz moábske dežele, prodaja posest dežele, ki je bila od najinega brata Eliméleha

4 and I said, I will inform thee, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if thou wilt redeem it, redeem it, but if thou wilt not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside thee to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after thee: and he said, I am [here], I will redeem it.

in mislil sem, da ti oznanim, rekoč: ›Kupi to pred prebivalci in pred starešinami mojega ljudstva. Če hočeš to odkupiti, to odkupi, toda če ti tega nočeš odkupiti, potem mi povej, da bom lahko vedel, kajti poleg tebe ni nikogar, da to odkupi, jaz pa sem za teboj.‹« In ta je rekel: » To bom odkupil.«

5 And Booz said, In the day of thy buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, thou must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

Potem je Boaz rekel: »Tisti dan, ko kupiš polje iz Naomíne roke, moraš to kupiti tudi od Moábke Rute, žene umrlega, da obudiš ime mrtvega na njegovi dediščini.«

6 And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do thou redeem my right for thyself, for I shall not be able to redeem [it].

Sorodnik je rekel: » Tega ne morem odkupiti zase, da ne bi oškodoval svoje lastne dediščine. Ti odkupi mojo pravico k sebi, kajti jaz tega ne morem odkupiti.«

7 And this [was] in former time the ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour that redeemed his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.

Torej to je bil običaj v prejšnjem času v Izraelu, glede odkupitve in glede zamenjave, za potrditev vseh stvari. Človek je sezul svoj čevelj in tega dal svojemu bližnjemu in to je bilo pričevanje v Izraelu.

8 And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy my right for thyself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.

Zato je sorodnik Boazu rekel: » To si kupi zase.« Tako je sezul svoj čevelj.

9 And Booz said to the elders and to all the people, Ye [are] this day witnesses, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that belonged to Chelaion and Maalon, of the hand of Noemin.

Boaz je rekel starešinam in vsemu ljudstvu: »Vi ste priče ta dan, da sem kupil vse, kar je bilo Elimélehovo in vse, kar je bilo Mahlónovo in Kiljónovo iz Naomíne roke.

10 Moreover I have bought for myself for a wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Maalon, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance; so the name of the dead shall not be destroyed from among his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: ye [are] this day witnesses.

Poleg tega sem kupil Moábko Ruto, Mahlónovo ženo, da postane moja žena, da obudim ime mrtvega na njegovi dediščini, da ime mrtvega ne bo iztrebljeno izmed njegovih bratov in od velikih vrat tega kraja. Vi ste priče ta dan.«

11 And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make thy wife who goes into thy house, as Rachel and as Lia, who both [together] built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephratha, and there shall be a name [to thee] in Bethleem.

Vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo v velikih vratih, in starešine, so rekli: » Mi smo priče. Gospod naj naredi žensko, ki je prišla v tvojo hišo, kakor Rahelo in kakor Lejo, ki sta zgradili Izraelovo hišo. Ti pa delaj plemenito v Efráti in bodi slaven v Betlehemu.

12 And let thy house be as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore to Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this handmaid.

Tvoja hiša naj bo podobna Parecovi hiši, katerega je Tamara rodila Judu, od semena, ki ti ga bo Gospod dal od te mlade ženske.«

13 And Booz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her; and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.

Tako je Boaz vzel Ruto in bila je njegova žena in ko je šel noter k njej, ji je Gospod dal spočetje in rodila je sina.

14 And the woman said to Noemin, Blessed [is] the Lord, who has not suffered a redeemer to fail thee this day, even to make thy name famous in Israel.

Ženske so rekle Naomí: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, ki te ta dan ni pustil brez sorodnika, da bo njegovo ime lahko slavno v Izraelu.

15 And he shall be to thee a restorer of thy soul, and one to cherish thy old age; for thy daughter-in-law which has loved thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, has born him.

On ti bo obnovitelj tvojega življenja in hranitelj tvoje starosti, kajti rodila ga je tvoja snaha, ki te ima rada, ki ti je boljša kakor sedem sinov.«

16 And Noemin took the child and laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.

Naomí je vzela otroka in ga položila v svoje naročje in mu postala pestunja.

17 And the neighbours gave it a name, saying, A son has been born to Noemin; and they called his name Obed; this [is] the father of Jessae the father of David.

Ženske, njene sosede, so mu dale ime, rekoč: »Naomí je rojen sin« in njegovo ime so imenovale Obéd. On je oče Davidovega očeta Jeseja.

18 And these [are] the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esrom:

Torej to so Parecovi rodovi: Parec je zaplodil Hecróna,

19 Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.

Hecrón je zaplodil Rama, Ram je zaplodil Aminadába,

20 And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.

Aminadáb je zaplodil Nahšóna, Nahšón je zaplodil Salmóna,

21 And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.

Salmón je zaplodil Boaza, Boaz je zaplodil Obéda,

22 And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.

Obéd je zaplodil Jeseja in Jese je zaplodil Davida.
