< Ruth 4 >

1 And Booz went up to the gate, and sat there; and behold, the relative passed by, of whom Booz spoke: and Booz said to him, Turn aside, sit down here, such a one: and he turned aside and sat down.
बोअज माथि प्रवेशद्धारमा गए र त्यहाँ बसे । चाँडै नै बोअजले भनेका, नजिकका कुटुम्ब आए । बोअजले तिनलाई भने, “हे मेरा मित्र, यहाँ आउनुहोस् र बस्‍नुहोस् ।” त्यो मानिस आए र बसे ।
2 And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you here; and they sat down.
अनि बोअजले त्यस शहरका दश जना धर्मगुरुहरूलाई लिए र भने, “यहाँ बस्‍नुहोस् ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू बसे ।
3 And Booz said to the relative, [The matter regards] the portion of the field which was our brother Elimelech's which was given to Noemin, now returning out of the land of Moab;
बोअजले नजिकका कुटुम्बलाई भने, “मोआब देशबाट फर्केर आएकी नाओमीले हाम्रो दाज्यू एलीमेलेकको जग्गाको टुक्रा बेच्दैछिन् ।
4 and I said, I will inform you, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if you will redeem it, redeem it, but if you will not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside you to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after you: and he said, I am [here], I will redeem it.
'यहाँ बसिरहेकाहरूको उपस्थितिमा र मेरा मानिसहरूको धर्मगुरुहरूको उपस्थितिमा यसलाई किन्‍नुहोस्' भनी तपाईंलाई जानकारी दिने मैले विचार गरेँ । यदि तपाईंले यसलाई छुट्टाउन चाहनुहुन्छ भने, छुट्टाउनु होस्, ताकी मैले जान्‍न सकुँ, किनभने तपाईं र तपाईंपछि मबाहेक यसलाई छुट्टाउने कोही छैन ।” अर्को मानिसले भने, “म यसलाई छुट्टाउँछु ।”
5 And Booz said, In the day of your buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, you must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
त्यसपछि बोअजले भने, “तपाईंले नाओमीबाट जग्गा किनेको दिनमा नै मृतकको उत्तराधिकारको नाउँलाई उठाउनको निम्ति मृत मानिसको विधवा मोआबी रूथलाई पनि लानुपर्छ ।”
6 And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do you redeem my right for yourself, for I shall not be able to redeem [it].
अनि नजिकका कुटम्बले भने, “आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारलाई हानि नगरी मैले यो आफ्नो निम्ति छुट्टाउन सक्दिनँ । तपाईंले नै मेरो छुटकाराको अधिकार लिनुहोस्, किनभने मैले छुट्टाउन सक्दिनँ ।”
7 And this [was] in former time the ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour that redeemed his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.
छुट्कारा र मालसामानको सट्टापट्टा सम्बन्धि इस्राएलको पहिलेको समयमा यस्तो चलन थियो । यी सबै कुराहरूको पुष्‍टि गर्न एक जनाले आफ्नो जुत्ता फुकाल्थ्यो र त्यो आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई दिन्थ्यो; यो नै इस्राएलमा वैधानिक सम्झौता गर्ने शैली थियो ।
8 And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy my right for yourself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.
त्यसैले नजिकको कुटुम्बले बोअजलाई भने, “यो तपाईं आफैले किन्‍नुहोस्,” र तिनले आफ्नो जुत्ता फुकाले ।
9 And Booz said to the elders and to all the people, You [are] this day witnesses, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that belonged to Chelaion and Maalon, of the hand of Noemin.
त्यसपछि बोअजले धर्मगुरुहरू र सबै मानिसहरूलाई भने, “मैले एलीमेलेकको, किल्योन र महलोनको सबै थोक मैले आज किनेँ भन्‍ने कुराको साक्षी तपाईंहरू हुनुहुन्छ ।”
10 Moreover I have bought for myself for a wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Maalon, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance; so the name of the dead shall not be destroyed from amongst his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: you [are] this day witnesses.
साथै त्यसको उत्तराधिकारमा मृत मानिसको नाउँलाई मैले उठाउन सकूँ भनी महलोनकी पत्‍नी मोआबी महिला रूथलाई मैले मेरी पत्‍नीको रूपमा प्राप्‍त गरेको छु, ताकि त्यसको नाउँ आफ्ना दाज्यूभाइहरु माझबाट र त्यसको ठाउँको प्रवेशद्धारबाट नहराओस् । आज तपाईंहरू साक्षी हुनुहुन्छ ।”
11 And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make your wife who goes into your house, as Rachel and as Lia, who both [together] built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephratha, and there shall be a name [to you] in Bethleem.
प्रवेशद्धारमा भएका सबै मानिसहरू र धर्मगुरुहरूले भने, “हामी साक्षीहरू छौँ । परमप्रभुले तपाईंको घरमा आउने महिलालाई इस्राएलको घराना निर्माण गर्ने दुई जना राहेल र लेआजस्तै तुल्याउनुभएको होस्; र तपाईं एप्रातामा फलिफाप हुनुहोस् र बेथलेहेममा प्रसिद्ध हुनुहोस् ।
12 And let your house be as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore to Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give you of this handmaid.
परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई दिनुहुने यो महिलाद्धारा तपाईंको घर फारेसको घरानाजस्तै होस्, जसलाई यहूदाको निम्ति तामारले जन्‍माएकी थिइन् ।
13 And Booz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her; and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.
त्यसैले बोअजले रूथलाई लगे र तिनी तिनकी पत्‍नी भइन् । तिनले तिनीसँग सहवास गरे र परमप्रभुले तिनलाई गर्भवती हुन दिनुभयो र तिनले एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् ।
14 And the woman said to Noemin, Blessed [is] the Lord, who has not suffered a redeemer to fail you this day, even to make your name famous in Israel.
महिलाहरूले नाओमीलाई भने, “परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा होस् जसले तपाईंलाई नजिकको कुटुम्बविहीन अर्थात् यो बालकविहीन छोड्नुभएन । उहाँको त्यसको नाउँ इस्राएलमा प्रसिद्ध होस् ।
15 And he shall be to you a restorer of your soul, and one to cherish your old age; for your daughter-in-law which has loved you, who is better to you than seven sons, has born him.
त्यो तपाईंलाई नयाँ जीवन दिने र र तपाईंको पालनपोषण गर्ने हुन सकोस्, किनकि तपाईंकी बुहारी जसलाई तपाईंले प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ, तिनी सात जना छोराहरूभन्दा पनि असल छिन्, तिनले यिनलाई जन्म दिएकी छिन् ।
16 And Noemin took the child and laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.
नाओमीले बालकलाई लिइन्, आफ्‍नो काखमा राखिन् र तिनको हेरचाह गरिन् ।
17 And the neighbours gave it a name, saying, A son has been born to Noemin; and they called his name Obed; this [is] the father of Jessae the father of David.
छिमेकका महिलाहरूले तिनलाई यसो भने, “नाओमीको एउटा छोरा भयो । तिनहरूले त्यसको नाउँ ओबेद राखे । तिनी यिशैको बुबा भए, जो दाऊदको बुबा भए ।
18 And these [are] the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esrom:
फारेसका सन्तानहरू यिनै हुन्ः फारेस हेस्रोनका बुबा बने,
19 Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.
हेस्रोन आरामका बुबा बने, आराम अम्मीनादाबको बुबा बने,
20 And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.
अम्मीनादाब नहशोनका बुबा बने, नहशोन सल्मोनको बुबा बने,
21 And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.
सल्मोन बोअजका बुबा बने, बोअज ओबेदको बुबा बने,
22 And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.
ओबेद यिशैका बुबा बने र यिशै दाऊदको बुबा बने ।
