Ruth 4
1 Meanwhile, Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the kinsman-redeemer of whom he had spoken came along, and Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.
Potem je Boaz odšel k velikim vratom in se tam usedel in glej, sorodnik, o katerem je Boaz govoril, je prišel mimo, kateremu je rekel: »Hej, ti oné! Kreni sem in sedi tukaj.« In ta je krenil tja ter se usedel.
2 Then Boaz took ten of the elders of the city and said, “Sit here,” and they did so.
Vzel je deset mož izmed starešin mesta ter rekel: »Sedite tukaj.« In oni so se usedli.
3 And he said to the kinsman-redeemer, “Naomi, who has returned from the land of Moab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech.
Sorodniku je rekel: »Naomí, ki je ponovno prišla iz moábske dežele, prodaja posest dežele, ki je bila od najinega brata Eliméleha
4 I thought I should inform you that you may buy it back in the presence of those seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you want to redeem it, do so. But if you will not redeem it, tell me so I may know, because there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you.” “I will redeem it,” he replied.
in mislil sem, da ti oznanim, rekoč: ›Kupi to pred prebivalci in pred starešinami mojega ljudstva. Če hočeš to odkupiti, to odkupi, toda če ti tega nočeš odkupiti, potem mi povej, da bom lahko vedel, kajti poleg tebe ni nikogar, da to odkupi, jaz pa sem za teboj.‹« In ta je rekel: » To bom odkupil.«
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi and also from Ruth the Moabitess, you must also acquire the widow of the deceased in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance.”
Potem je Boaz rekel: »Tisti dan, ko kupiš polje iz Naomíne roke, moraš to kupiti tudi od Moábke Rute, žene umrlega, da obudiš ime mrtvega na njegovi dediščini.«
6 The kinsman-redeemer replied, “I cannot redeem it myself, or I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption, because I cannot redeem it.”
Sorodnik je rekel: » Tega ne morem odkupiti zase, da ne bi oškodoval svoje lastne dediščine. Ti odkupi mojo pravico k sebi, kajti jaz tega ne morem odkupiti.«
7 Now in former times in Israel, concerning the redemption or exchange of property, to make any matter legally binding a man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party, and this was a confirmation in Israel.
Torej to je bil običaj v prejšnjem času v Izraelu, glede odkupitve in glede zamenjave, za potrditev vseh stvari. Človek je sezul svoj čevelj in tega dal svojemu bližnjemu in to je bilo pričevanje v Izraelu.
8 So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”
Zato je sorodnik Boazu rekel: » To si kupi zase.« Tako je sezul svoj čevelj.
9 At this, Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses today that I am buying from Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech, Chilion, and Mahlon.
Boaz je rekel starešinam in vsemu ljudstvu: »Vi ste priče ta dan, da sem kupil vse, kar je bilo Elimélehovo in vse, kar je bilo Mahlónovo in Kiljónovo iz Naomíne roke.
10 Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased through his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his brothers or from the gate of his home. You are witnesses today.”
Poleg tega sem kupil Moábko Ruto, Mahlónovo ženo, da postane moja žena, da obudim ime mrtvega na njegovi dediščini, da ime mrtvega ne bo iztrebljeno izmed njegovih bratov in od velikih vrat tega kraja. Vi ste priče ta dan.«
11 “We are witnesses,” said the elders and all the people at the gate. “May the LORD make the woman entering your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you be prosperous in Ephrathah and famous in Bethlehem.
Vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo v velikih vratih, in starešine, so rekli: » Mi smo priče. Gospod naj naredi žensko, ki je prišla v tvojo hišo, kakor Rahelo in kakor Lejo, ki sta zgradili Izraelovo hišo. Ti pa delaj plemenito v Efráti in bodi slaven v Betlehemu.
12 And may your house become like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring the LORD will give you by this young woman.”
Tvoja hiša naj bo podobna Parecovi hiši, katerega je Tamara rodila Judu, od semena, ki ti ga bo Gospod dal od te mlade ženske.«
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And when he had relations with her, the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.
Tako je Boaz vzel Ruto in bila je njegova žena in ko je šel noter k njej, ji je Gospod dal spočetje in rodila je sina.
14 Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a kinsman-redeemer. May his name become famous in Israel.
Ženske so rekle Naomí: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, ki te ta dan ni pustil brez sorodnika, da bo njegovo ime lahko slavno v Izraelu.
15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”
On ti bo obnovitelj tvojega življenja in hranitelj tvoje starosti, kajti rodila ga je tvoja snaha, ki te ima rada, ki ti je boljša kakor sedem sinov.«
16 And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a nurse to him.
Naomí je vzela otroka in ga položila v svoje naročje in mu postala pestunja.
17 The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Ženske, njene sosede, so mu dale ime, rekoč: »Naomí je rojen sin« in njegovo ime so imenovale Obéd. On je oče Davidovega očeta Jeseja.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,
Torej to so Parecovi rodovi: Parec je zaplodil Hecróna,
19 Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab,
Hecrón je zaplodil Rama, Ram je zaplodil Aminadába,
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon,
Aminadáb je zaplodil Nahšóna, Nahšón je zaplodil Salmóna,
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed,
Salmón je zaplodil Boaza, Boaz je zaplodil Obéda,
22 Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David.
Obéd je zaplodil Jeseja in Jese je zaplodil Davida.
