< Ruth 4 >

1 Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, and sat down.
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.
2 Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here,” and they sat down.
И поя Вооз десять мужей от старейшин града, и рече: сядите зде. И седоша.
3 He said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s.
И рече Вооз ужику: часть села, яже есть брата нашего Елимелеха, яже дадеся Ноеммине возвратившейся от села Моавля:
4 I thought I should tell you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.” He said, “I will redeem it.”
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.
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”
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.
6 The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I endanger my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t redeem it.”
И рече ужик: не возмогу ужичествовати себе, да не разсыплю наследия моего: ужичествуй себе ты ужичество мое, аз бо не возмогу ужичествовати.
7 Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour; and this was the way of formalizing transactions in Israel.
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.
8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” then he took off his sandal.
И рече ужик Воозу: пристяжи себе ужичество мое. И иззув сапог свой, даде ему.
9 Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.
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:
10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from amongst his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”
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.
11 All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
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:
12 Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the LORD will give you by this young woman.”
и буди дом твой якоже дом Фаресов, егоже роди Фамарь Иуде, от семене твоего даст тебе Господь от рабы сея чада.
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she bore a son.
И поя Вооз Руфь, и бысть ему жена, и вниде к ней: и даде ей Господь зачати, и роди сына.
14 The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let his name be famous in Israel.
И рекоша жены к Ноеммине: благословен Господь, Иже не разсыпа ужика твоего днесь, и прозовется имя твое во Израили,
15 He shall be to you a restorer of life and sustain you in your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”
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.
16 Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and became nurse to him.
И взя Ноемминь отроча, и положи е на лоне своем, и бысть ему кормилица.
17 The women, her neighbours, gave him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi”. They named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
И прозваша соседи имя его, глаголюще: родися сын Ноеммине. И нарекоша имя ему Овид: сей есть отец Иессеа, отца Давидова.
18 Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
И сия родства Фаресова: Фарес роди Есрома:
19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
Есром же роди Арама: Арам же роди Аминадава:
20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
Аминадав же роди Наассона: Наассон же роди Салмона:
21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
Салмон же роди Вооза: Вооз же роди Овида:
22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
Овид же роди Иессеа: Иессей же роди Давида.
