Rute 4
1 E Boaz subiu à porta da cidade e sentou-se ali: e eis que passava aquele parente do qual havia Boaz falado, e disse-lhe: Ei, fulano, vem aqui e senta-te. E ele veio, e sentou-se.
Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Soon, the near kinsman of whom Boaz had spoken came by. Boaz said to him, “My friend, come over and sit down here.” The man came over and sat down.
2 Então ele tomou dez homens dos anciãos da cidade, e disse: Sentai-vos aqui. E eles se sentaram.
Then Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city and said, “Sit down here.” So they sat down.
3 Logo disse ao parente: Noemi, que voltou do campo de Moabe, vende uma parte das terras que teve nosso irmão Elimeleque;
Boaz said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has returned from the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land that was our brother Elimelek's.
4 E eu decidi fazê-lo saber a ti, e dizer-te que a tomes diante dos que estão aqui sentados, e diante dos anciãos de meu povo. Se houveres de redimir, redime; e se não quiseres redimir, declara-o a mim para que eu o saiba: porque não há outro que redima a não ser tu, e eu depois de ti. E ele respondeu: Eu redimirei.
I thought to inform you and say to you, 'Buy it in the presence of those who are sitting here, and in the presence of the elders of my people.' If you wish to redeem it, redeem it. But if you do not wish to redeem it, then tell me, so that I may know, for there is no one to redeem it besides you, and I am after you.” Then the other man said, “I will redeem it.”
5 Então replicou Boaz: O mesmo dia que tomares as terras da mão de Noemi, hás de tomar também a Rute moabita, mulher do defunto, para que suscites o nome do morto sobre sua possessão.
Then Boaz said, “On the day that you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also take Ruth the Moabite woman, the widow of a dead man, in order to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”
6 E respondeu o parente: Não posso redimir por minha parte, porque lançaria a perder minha propriedade: redime tu usando de meu direito, porque eu não poderei redimir.
Then the near kinsman said, “I cannot redeem it for myself without damaging my own inheritance. You take my right of redemption for yourself, for I cannot redeem it.”
7 Havia já de longo tempo este costume em Israel na remissão ou contrato, que para a confirmação de qualquer negócio, o um se tirava o sapato e o dava a seu companheiro: e este era o testemunho em Israel.
Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning the redemption and exchange of goods. To confirm all things, a man took off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor; this was the manner of making legal agreements in Israel.
8 Então o parente disse a Boaz: Toma-o tu. E descalçou seu sapato.
So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” and he took off his sandal.
9 E Boaz disse aos anciãos e a todo aquele povo: Vós sois hoje testemunhas de que tomo todas as coisas que foram de Elimeleque, e tudo o que foi de Quiliom e de Malom, da mão de Noemi.
Then Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today that I have bought all that was Elimelek's and all that was Kilion's and Mahlon's from the hand of Naomi.
10 E que também tomo por minha mulher a Rute moabita, mulher de Malom, para suscitar o nome do defunto sobre sua herança, para que o nome do morto não se apague dentre seus irmãos e da porta de seu lugar. Vós sois hoje testemunhas.
Also Ruth the Moabite woman, the wife of Mahlon, I have acquired to be my wife, in order that I might raise up the name of the dead man on his inheritance, so that his name will not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. Today you are witnesses!”
11 E disseram todos os do povo que estavam à porta com os anciãos: Testemunhas somos. O SENHOR faça à mulher que entra em tua casa como a Raquel e a Lia, as quais duas edificaram a casa de Israel; e tu sejas ilustre em Efrata, e tenhas renome em Belém.
All the people who were in the gate and the elders said, “We are witnesses. May Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built up the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be renowned in Bethlehem.
12 E da semente que o SENHOR te der desta moça, seja tua casa como a casa de Perez, o que Tamar deu a Judá.
May your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, through the offspring that Yahweh will give you with this young woman.”
13 Então Boaz tomou a Rute, e ela foi sua mulher; e logo que entrou a ela, o SENHOR lhe deu que concebesse e desse à luz um filho.
So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. He slept with her, and Yahweh allowed her to become pregnant, and she bore a son.
14 E as mulheres diziam a Noemi: Louvado seja o SENHOR, que fez que não te faltasse hoje parente, cujo nome será nomeado em Israel.
The women said to Naomi, “May Yahweh be blessed, who has not left you today without a near kinsman, this baby. May his name be famous in Israel.
15 O qual será restaurador de tua alma, e o que sustentará tua velhice; pois que tua nora, a qual te ama e te vale mais que sete filhos, o fez nascer.
May he be for you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.”
16 E tomando Noemi o filho, o pôs em seu colo, e foi-lhe sua ama.
Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and took care of him.
17 E as vizinhas dizendo, a Noemi nasceu um filho, lhe puseram nome; e chamaram-lhe Obede. Este é pai de Jessé, pai de Davi.
The women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, who became the father of David.
18 E estas são as gerações de Perez: Perez gerou a Hezrom;
Now these were the descendants of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
19 E Hezrom gerou a Rão, e Rão gerou a Aminadabe;
Hezron became the father of Ram, Ram became the father of Amminadab,
20 E Aminadabe gerou a Naassom, e Naassom gerou a Salmom;
Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
21 E Salmom gerou a Boaz, e Boaz gerou a Obede;
Salmon became the father of Boaz, Boaz became the father of Obed,
22 E Obede gerou a Jessé, e Jessé gerou a Davi.
Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
