Rút 4

1 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.

And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated.

2 A vzav Bóz deset mužů z starších města toho, řekl: Posaďte se tuto. I posadili se.

Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats.

3 Tedy řekl příbuznému tomu: Díl pole, kteréž bylo bratra našeho Elimelecha, prodala Noémi, kteráž se navrátila z krajiny Moábské.

Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's:

4 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.

And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.

5 I řekl Bóz: Když ujmeš pole to od Noémi, tedy i Rut Moábskou, manželku mrtvého, sobě pojmeš, abys vzbudil jméno mrtvého v dědictví jeho.

Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.

6 Odpověděl příbuzný ten: Nemohuť koupiti, abych snad nezahladil dědictví svého. Uživ ty práva příbuznosti mé, nebo já ho nemohu užiti.

And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation's part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.

7 (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.)

Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.

8 Protož řekl příbuzný Bózovi: Ujmi ty. I szul obuv svou.

So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.

9 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.

Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.

10 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.

And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day.

11 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.

And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;

12 A ať jest dům tvůj jako dům Fáresa, (kteréhož porodila Támar Judovi, ) z semene toho, kteréž by dal tobě Hospodin s mladicí touto.

May your family be like the family of Perez, the son whom Tamar gave to Judah, from the offspring which the Lord may give you by this young woman.

13 A tak Bóz pojal sobě Rut, a byla manželkou jeho. A když všel k ní, dal jí to Hospodin, že počala a porodila syna.

So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.

14 I řekly ženy Noémi: Požehnaný Hospodin, kterýž nedopustil toho, abys měla zbavena býti příbuzného v tento čas, tak aby trvalo v Izraeli jméno jeho.

And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.

15 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.

He will be a giver of new life to you, and your comforter when you are old, for your daughter-in-law, who, in her love for you, is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.

16 Tedy vzavši Noémi dítě, položila je na klín svůj, a byla pěstounkou jeho.

And Naomi took the child and put her arms round it, and she took care of it.

17 Daly mu pak jméno sousedy, kteréž pravily: Narodil se syn Noémi, a nazvaly ho jménem Obéd. Onť jest otec Izai, otce Davidova.

And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

18 A tito jsou rodové Fáresovi: Fáres zplodil Ezrona;

Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;

19 Ezron pak zplodil Rama, Ram pak zplodil Aminadaba;

And Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab;

20 Aminadab pak zplodil Názona, Názon pak zplodil Salmona;

And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;

21 Salmon pak zplodil Bóza, Bóz pak zplodil Obéda;

And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;

22 Obéd pak zplodil Izai, Izai pak zplodil Davida.

And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
