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.
Then Boaz went up to the gate, and he sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman passing by, whom he had previously discussed, he spoke to him, calling him by his name, “Pause for a little while, and sit down here.” He turned aside and sat down.
2 A vzav Bóz deset mužů z starších města toho, řekl: Posaďte se tuto. I posadili se.
But Boaz, calling aside ten men among the elders of the city, said to them, “Sit down here.”
3 Tedy řekl příbuznému tomu: Díl pole, kteréž bylo bratra našeho Elimelecha, prodala Noémi, kteráž se navrátila z krajiny Moábské.
They settled down, and he spoke to the kinsman, “Naomi, who has returned from the region of the Moabites, is selling part of a field of our brother Elimelech.
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.
I wanted you to hear this, and to tell you in front of everyone sitting here, including the eldest of my people. If you will take possession of it by the right of kinship, buy it and possess it. But if it displeases you, you should reveal this to me, so that I will know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides you, who is before me, and I am after you.” But he answered, “I will buy the field.”
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.
And Boaz said to him, “When buying the field, you are likewise obliged to accept the hand of the woman Ruth, the Moabite, who was the wife of the deceased, so that you may raise up the name of your near kinsman through his posterity.”
6 Odpověděl příbuzný ten: Nemohuť koupiti, abych snad nezahladil dědictví svého. Uživ ty práva příbuznosti mé, nebo já ho nemohu užiti.
He answered, “I yield my right of kinship, for I am obliged not to cut off the posterity of my own family. You may make use of my privilege, which I freely declare I will forego.”
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.)
Yet it was the custom between kinsmen in this former time in Israel, that if at any time one yielded his right to another, so as to confirm his permission, the man took off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor. This was a testimony of concession in Israel.
8 Protož řekl příbuzný Bózovi: Ujmi ty. I szul obuv svou.
And so Boaz said to his kinsman, “Take off your shoe.” And immediately he released it from his foot.
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.
And he said to the eldest and to all the people, “You are witnesses this day, that I have taken possession of all that belonged to Elimelech and Chilion and Mahlon, and was bequeathed to Naomi.
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 Ruth, the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, I have taken in marriage so as to raise up the name of the deceased in his posterity, so that his name will not be cut off from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.”
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.
All the people who were at the gate, along with the eldest, answered, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who enters into your house, like Rachel, and Leah, who built up the house of Israel, so that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrathah, and so that her name may be honored in Bethlehem.
12 A ať jest dům tvůj jako dům Fáresa, (kteréhož porodila Támar Judovi, ) z semene toho, kteréž by dal tobě Hospodin s mladicí touto.
And may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the Lord will give to you from 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.
And so Boaz took Ruth, and received her as his wife, and he went in to her, and the Lord granted to her to conceive and bear 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, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not permitted your family to be without a successor, and may his name be called upon 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.
And now you may have someone to comfort your soul and to care for you in old age, for he is born of your daughter-in-law, who loves you, and this is much better for you, than if you had seven sons.”
16 Tedy vzavši Noémi dítě, položila je na klín svůj, a byla pěstounkou jeho.
And taking up the boy, Naomi placed him on her bosom, and she took on the duties of carrying him and nursing him.
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 of the near future were congratulating her and saying, “There was a son born to Naomi. They called his name Obed. Here is the father of Jesse, the father of David.”
18 A tito jsou rodové Fáresovi: Fáres zplodil Ezrona;
These are the generations of Perez: Perez conceived Hezron,
19 Ezron pak zplodil Rama, Ram pak zplodil Aminadaba;
Hezron conceived Aram, Aram conceived Amminadab,
20 Aminadab pak zplodil Názona, Názon pak zplodil Salmona;
Amminadab conceived Nahshon, Nahshon conceived Salmon,
21 Salmon pak zplodil Bóza, Bóz pak zplodil Obéda;
Salmon conceived Boaz, Boaz conceived Obed,
22 Obéd pak zplodil Izai, Izai pak zplodil Davida.
Obed conceived Jesse, Jesse conceived David.
