Книга Руфи 4
1 И Вооз прииде ко вратом и седе тамо: и се, ужик мимоидяше, о немже глагола Вооз. И рече ему Вооз: уклонився сяди зде. Он же уклонися и седе.
Then Boaz went up to the gate and sat down. Just then the near kinsman of whom Boaz had spoken came along. Boaz said, ‘Hello, So-and-so (calling him by name), come here and sit down.’ So he stopped and sat down.
2 И поя Вооз десять мужей от старейшин града, и рече: сядите зде. И седоша.
Boaz also took ten of the town elders and said, ‘Sit down here.’ So they sat down.
3 И рече Вооз ужику: часть села, яже есть брата нашего Елимелеха, яже дадеся Ноеммине возвратившейся от села Моавля:
Then he said to the near relative, ‘Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for sale the piece of land which belonged to our relative Elimelech,
4 аз же рекох: явлю тебе сие во ухо твое, глаголя, пристяжи пред седящими и пред старейшины людий моих: и аще ужичествуеши, ужичествуй: аще же не ужичествуеши, повеждь ми, да ведаю: яко несть разве тебе еже ужичествовати ближший, и аз есмь по тебе. Он же рече: аз есмь, ужичествую.
and I thought that I would lay the matter before you, suggesting that you buy it in the presence of these men who sit here and of the elders of my people. If you will buy it and so keep it in the possession of the family, do so; but if not; then tell me, so that I may know; for no one but you has the right to buy it, and I am next to you.’ ‘I will buy it,’ he said.
5 И рече Вооз: в день в оньже пристяжеши село от руки Ноеммини, и от Руфы Моавитяныни жены умершаго, и сию достоит ти пояти, да возставиши имя умершаго в наследие его.
Then Boaz said, ‘On the day you buy the field from Naomi, you must also marry Ruth the Moabite, the widow of the dead, in order to preserve the name of the dead in connection with his inheritance.’
6 И рече ужик: не возмогу ужичествовати себе, да не разсыплю наследия моего: ужичествуй себе ты ужичество мое, аз бо не возмогу ужичествовати.
‘I cannot buy it for myself without spoiling my own inheritance,’ the near relative said. ‘You take my right of buying it as a relative, because I cannot do so.’
7 И сие управление бысть прежде во Израили о ужичествовании и о пременении, еже укрепити всякое слово: и иззуваше муж сапог свой, и даяше подругу своему ужичествующу ужичество его: и сие бяше свидетелство во Израили.
Now this used to be the custom in Israel: to make valid anything relating to a matter of redemption or exchange, a man drew off his sandal and gave it to the other man; and this was the way contracts were attested in Israel.
8 И рече ужик Воозу: пристяжи себе ужичество мое. И иззув сапог свой, даде ему.
So when the near relative said to Boaz, ‘Buy it for yourself,’ Boaz drew off the man’s sandal.
9 И рече Вооз старейшинам и всем людем: свидетеле вы днесь, яко пристяжах днесь вся, яже Елимелехова, и вся елика суть Хелеонова и Маалонова, от руки Ноеммини:
Then Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, ‘You are witnesses at this time that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s from Naomi.
10 ксему же Руфь Моавитяныню жену Маалоню поемлю себе в жену возставити имя умершаго в наследие его, да не погибнет имя умершаго от братии его и от племене людий его: свидетеле вы днесь.
Moreover I have secured Ruth the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, in order to perpetuate the name of the dead in connection with his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his relatives and from the household where he lived. You are witnesses this day.’
11 И отвещаша вси людие иже у врат: свидетеле есмы. И старейшины реша: да даст Господь жене твоей, входящей в дом твой, якоже Рахили и яко Лии, яже создаша обе дом Израилев, и сотвориша силу во Ефрафе, и будет имя в Вифлееме:
Then all the people who were at the gate and the elders said, ‘We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your house like Rachel and Leah, who together built the house of Israel. May you do well in Ephrata, and become famous in Bethlehem.
12 и буди дом твой якоже дом Фаресов, егоже роди Фамарь Иуде, от семене твоего даст тебе Господь от рабы сея чада.
From the children whom the Lord will give you by this young woman may your household become like the household of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah.’
13 И поя Вооз Руфь, и бысть ему жена, и вниде к ней: и даде ей Господь зачати, и роди сына.
So Boaz married Ruth, and she became his wife; and the Lord gave to her a son.
14 И рекоша жены к Ноеммине: благословен Господь, Иже не разсыпа ужика твоего днесь, и прозовется имя твое во Израили,
Then the women said to Naomi, ‘Blessed be the Lord who has not left you at this time without a near relative, and may his name be famous in Israel.
15 и будет тебе во обращающаго душу и в прекормление старости твоея, яко сноха твоя, возлюбившая тебе, роди сына, яже есть блага тебе паче седми сынов.
This child will restore your vigor and nourish you in your old age; for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is worth more to you than seven sons, has borne a son to Boaz!’
16 И взя Ноемминь отроча, и положи е на лоне своем, и бысть ему кормилица.
So Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him as if he was her own.
17 И прозваша соседи имя его, глаголюще: родися сын Ноеммине. И нарекоша имя ему Овид: сей есть отец Иессеа, отца Давидова.
The women of the neighbourhood gave him a name, saying, ‘A son is born to Naomi!’ They named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, who was the father of David.
18 И сия родства Фаресова: Фарес роди Есрома:
This is the genealogy of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,
19 Есром же роди Арама: Арам же роди Аминадава:
Hezron of Ram, Ram of Amminadab,
20 Аминадав же роди Наассона: Наассон же роди Салмона:
Amminidab of Nashon, Nashon of Salmon,
21 Салмон же роди Вооза: Вооз же роди Овида:
Salmon of Boaz, Boaz of Obed,
22 Овид же роди Иессеа: Иессей же роди Давида.
Obed of Jesse, Jesse of David.
