Ruth 4
1 Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. 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 he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down 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 he said unto the near kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:
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 thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, 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 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest 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.
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產業に存すべきなり
6 And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot redeem it.
贖業人いひけるは我はみづから贖ふあたはず 恐くはわが產業を壞はん 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 Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, for to confirm all things; a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was the [manner of] attestation 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 即ち此人鞋を脱て彼人にわたせり 是イスラエルの中の證なりき
8 So the near kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thyself. And he drew off his shoe.
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 Boaz said unto the elders, and unto 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, of the hand of Naomi.
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およ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 Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
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產業に存すべし 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 that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:
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 thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
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 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bare 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 women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman, and let his name be 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 unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne 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 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto 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 women her neighbours 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.
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 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Hezron;
偖ペレヅの系圖は左のごとし ペレヅ、ヘヅロンを生み
19 and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab;
ヘヅロン、ラムを生み ラム、アミナダブを生み
20 and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat 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 begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed;
サルモン、ボアズを生み ボアズ、オベデを生み
22 and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
オベデ、ヱサイを生み ヱサイ、ダビデを生り
