< Ruth 4 >

1 [Meanwhile], Boaz went up to the town gate and sat there. [That was the place where people met together to decide important matters]. When the man that Boaz had mentioned came there, the close relative of Ruth and Naomi’s dead husbands [who had a responsibility to take care of Naomi and Ruth], Boaz said to him, “My friend, come over here and sit down.” So the man went and sat down.
Tedy Bóz všed do brány, posadil se tam. A aj, příbuzný ten, o němž on byl mluvil, šel tudy. I řekl jemu: Poď sem, a poseď tuto. Kterýž zastaviv se, sedl.
2 Boaz then gathered ten of the elders of the town and asked them to sit down [there also]. After they sat down,
A vzav Bóz deset mužů z starších města toho, řekl: Posaďte se tuto. I posadili se.
3 he said to the man who had the responsibility to take care of Naomi, “Naomi has returned from Moab [region]. She wants to sell the field that belonged to our relative Elimelech.
Tedy řekl příbuznému tomu: Díl pole, kteréž bylo bratra našeho Elimelecha, prodala Noémi, kteráž se navrátila z krajiny Moábské.
4 I thought that I should tell you about that, and suggest that you buy it, while these elders who are sitting here are listening. If you are willing to buy the property, do that. But if you do not want to buy it, tell me, so that I will know. I am suggesting this to you because you are the one who has the first right to buy it, and I am the one who has the second/next right to buy it.” The man replied, “I will buy it!”
A já jsem umínil netajiti toho před tebou, a pravímť: Ujmi pole to před přísedícími těmito a staršími lidu mého. Jestliže chceš koupiti, kup; pakli nekoupíš, oznam mi. Nebo vím, že kromě tebe není žádného, kterýž by měl právo koupiti je, a já jsem po tobě. Tedy on řekl: Já koupím.
5 Then Boaz told him, “When you buy the land from Naomi, you will also be taking Ruth, [the woman] who is from Moab, [to be your wife], in order that she may [give birth to a son who will] inherit the property of her dead husband [MTY].”
I řekl Bóz: Když ujmeš pole to od Noémi, tedy i Rut Moábskou, manželku mrtvého, sobě pojmeš, abys vzbudil jméno mrtvého v dědictví jeho.
6 Then the close relative [of Ruth’s dead husband] said, “[If that is so], I do not [want to] buy the field, because then my own [children] would not inherit the property; [Ruth’s children would inherit it]. You buy the property!”
Odpověděl příbuzný ten: Nemohuť koupiti, abych snad nezahladil dědictví svého. Uživ ty práva příbuznosti mé, nebo já ho nemohu užiti.
7 At that time, it was the custom in Israel, when a person bought property that belonged to another person, that the man who was selling the property would take off one of his sandals and give it to the one who was buying the property. That was the way they finalized sales in Israel.
(Byl pak ten obyčej od starodávna v Izraeli při koupi a směnách, ku potvrzení všelijakého jednání, že szul jeden obuv svou, a dal ji druhému. A to bylo na svědectví té věci v Izraeli.)
8 So that close relative said to Boaz, “You buy the field yourself!” And he took off [one of] his sandals [and gave it to Boaz].
Protož řekl příbuzný Bózovi: Ujmi ty. I szul obuv svou.
9 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the [other] people [who were there], “Today you have all seen that I have bought from Naomi all the property that belonged to [her dead husband] Elimelech and [his dead sons] Mahlon and Chilion.
Tedy řekl Bóz starším těm a všemu lidu: Vy svědkové jste dnes, že jsem ujal všecko, což bylo Elimelechovo, i všecko to, což bylo Chelionovo a Mahalonovo, od Noémi.
10 I am also taking Ruth, [the woman] from Moab, Mahlon’s widow, to be my wife, in order that she may give birth to a son who will inherit the property of the dead man. In that way, Elimelech’s name will continue [LIT] among the members of his family and among all the people of this town. Today you all are witnesses [of what I have done].”
Ano i Rut Moábskou, ženu Mahalonovu, vzal jsem sobě za manželku, abych vzbudil jméno mrtvého v dědictví jeho, a aby nebylo zahlazeno jméno mrtvého z bratří jeho, a z brány místa jeho. Vy svědkové jste dnes toho.
11 All the elders and the [others] who were sitting at the [town] gate [agreed, and one of them] said, “[Yes, ] we are witnesses. We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable this woman, who will be coming into your home, to give birth to many children, as Rachel and Leah did. They are the women from whom all [us] people [MTY] of Israel are descended. We hope that you will become rich in the clan of Ephratah, and become famous [MTY] [here] in Bethlehem.
I řekl všecken lid, kterýž byl v bráně města, i starší: Svědkové jsme. Dejž Hospodin, aby žena vcházející do domu tvého byla jako Ráchel a jako Lía, kteréžto dvě vzdělaly dům Izraelský. Počínejž sobě zmužile v Efratě, a dosáhni jména v Betlémě.
12 We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable you and this young woman to have many descendants. And we hope/desire that your family will be as important as the family of your ancestor Perez, the son of Judah and Tamar.”
A ať jest dům tvůj jako dům Fáresa, (kteréhož porodila Támar Judovi, ) z semene toho, kteréž by dal tobě Hospodin s mladicí touto.
13 So Boaz took Ruth [home], and she became his wife. He (slept with/had sexual relations with) her [EUP] and Yahweh enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
A tak Bóz pojal sobě Rut, a byla manželkou jeho. A když všel k ní, dal jí to Hospodin, že počala a porodila syna.
14 The women [of Bethlehem] said to Naomi, “Praise Yahweh! Now he has given [LIT] you a grandson who will be the one who will have the responsibility to take care of you. We hope that he will become famous [MTY] throughout Israel.
I řekly ženy Noémi: Požehnaný Hospodin, kterýž nedopustil toho, abys měla zbavena býti příbuzného v tento čas, tak aby trvalo v Izraeli jméno jeho.
15 He will make you feel young again, and he will take care of you when you become old. Your daughter-in-law, who loves you, has given birth to a son, who will (be better to/do more for) you than [if you had] seven sons [of your own].”
Onť očerství duši tvou, a chovati tě bude v starosti tvé; nebo nevěsta tvá, kteráž tě miluje, porodila ho, kteráž tobě lepší jest, nežli sedm synů.
16 Then Naomi took the baby and put him on her lap, and took care of him.
Tedy vzavši Noémi dítě, položila je na klín svůj, a byla pěstounkou jeho.
17 The women who were living near her said, “[It is as though] Naomi [now] has a son!” And they named him Obed. [Later], Obed became the father of Jesse, and [later] Jesse became the father of [King] David.
Daly mu pak jméno sousedy, kteréž pravily: Narodil se syn Noémi, a nazvaly ho jménem Obéd. Onť jest otec Izai, otce Davidova.
18 Here is [a list of] the ancestors of [King David]: Perez’s son was Hezron. Hezron’s son was Ram. Ram’s son was Amminadab. Amminadab’s son was Nahshon. Nahshon’s son was Salmon. Salmon’s son was Boaz. Boaz’s son was Obed. Obed’s son was Jesse. Jesse’s son was [King] David.
A tito jsou rodové Fáresovi: Fáres zplodil Ezrona;
Ezron pak zplodil Rama, Ram pak zplodil Aminadaba;
Aminadab pak zplodil Názona, Názon pak zplodil Salmona;
Salmon pak zplodil Bóza, Bóz pak zplodil Obéda;
Obéd pak zplodil Izai, Izai pak zplodil Davida.
