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.

爰にボアズ門の所にのぼり往て其處に坐しけるに前にボアズの言たる贖業者過りければ之に言ふ 某よ來りて此に坐せよと 即ち來りて坐す

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

ボアズまた邑の長老十人を招き汝等此に坐せよといひければ則ち坐す

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;

時に彼その贖業人にいひけるはモアブの地より還りしナオミ我等の兄弟エリメレクの地を賣る

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

我汝につげしらせて此に坐する人々の前わが民の長老の前にて之を買へと言んと想へり 汝もし之を贖はんと思はば贖ふべし 然どもし之を贖はずば吾に告げてしらしめよ 汝の外に贖ふ者なければなり 我はなんぢの次なりと彼我これを贖はんといひければ

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

ボアズいふ 汝ナオミの手よりその地を買ふ日には死る者の妻なりし モアブの女ルツをも買て死る者の名をその産業に存すべきなり

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

贖業人いひけるは我はみづから贖ふあたはず 恐くはわが産業を壞はん 汝みづから我にかはりてあがなへ 我あがなふことあたはざればなりと

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 neighbor that redeemed his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.

昔イスラエルにて物を贖ひ或は交易んとする事につきて萬事を定めたる慣例は斯のごとし 即ち此人鞋を脱ぎて彼人にわたせり 是イスラエルの中の證なりき

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

是によりてその贖業人ボアズにむかひ汝みづから買ふべしといひて其鞋を脱たり

9 And Booz said to the elders and to all the people, You [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.

ボアズ長老および諸の民にいひけるは汝等今日 見證をなす 我エリメレクの凡の所有及びキリオンとマロンの凡の所有をナオミの手より買たり

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: you [are] this day witnesses.

我またマロンの妻なりしモアブの女ルツを買て妻となし彼死る者の名をその産業に存すべし 是かの死る者の名を其兄弟の中とその處の門に絶ざらしめんためなり 汝等今日 證をなす

11 And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make your wife who goes into your 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 you] in Bethleem.

門にをる人々および長老等いひけるはわれら證をなす 願くはヱホバ汝の家にいるところの婦人をして彼イスラエルの家を造りなしたるラケルとレアの二人のごとくならしめたまはんことを 願くは汝エフラタにて能を得ベテレヘムにて名をあげよ

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

ねがはくはヱホバが此 若き婦よりして汝にたまはんところの子に由て汝の家かのタマルがユダに生たるペレズの家のごとくなるにいたれ

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.

斯てボアズ、ルツを娶りて妻となし彼の所にいりければヱホバ彼を孕ましめたまひて彼 男子を生り

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

婦女等ナオミにいひけるはヱホバは讚べきかな 汝を遺ずして今日汝に贖業人あらしめたまふ その名イスラエルに揚れ

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

彼は汝の心をなぐさむる者 汝の老を養ふ者とならん 汝を愛する汝の媳即ち七人の子よりも汝に善もの之をうみたり

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

ナオミその子をとりて之を懷に置き之が養育者となる

17 And the neighbors 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.

その隣人なる婦女等これに名をつけて云ふ ナオミに男子うまれたりと その名をオベデと稱り 彼はダビデの父なるヱサイの父なり

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

偖ペレヅの系圖は左のごとし ペレヅ、ヘヅロンを生み

19 Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.

ヘヅロン、ラムを生み ラム、アミナダブを生み

20 And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.

アミナダブ、ナシヨンを生み ナシヨン、サルモンを生み

21 And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.

サルモン、ボアズを生み ボアズ、オベデを生み

22 And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.

オベデ、ヱサイを生み ヱサイ、ダビデを生り
