< Ruth 4 >
1 And Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. And behold, he that had the right of redemption, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by. And he said, Thou, such a one, turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside 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 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And they sat down.
Vzel je deset mož izmed starešin mesta ter rekel: »Sedite tukaj.« In oni so se usedli.
3 And he said to him that had the right of redemption: Naomi, who is come back out of the country of Moab, sells the allotment that was our brother Elimelech's.
Sorodniku je rekel: »Naomí, ki je ponovno prišla iz moábske dežele, prodaja posest dežele, ki je bila od najinega brata Eliméleha
4 And I thought I would apprise thee of it and say, Buy [it] in the presence of the inhabitants, and in the presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem [it], redeem; but if thou wilt not redeem, tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem [it].
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 And Boaz said, On the day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon 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 And he that had the right of redemption said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance. Redeem thou for thyself what I should redeem, for 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 this [was the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redemption and concerning exchange, to confirm the whole matter: a man drew off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour, and this was the [mode of] attestation 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 And he that had the right of redemption said to Boaz, Buy for thyself; and he drew off his sandal.
Zato je sorodnik Boazu rekel: » To si kupi zase.« Tako je sezul svoj čevelj.
9 And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi;
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 Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
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 And all the people that were in the gate and the elders said, [We are] witnesses. Jehovah make the woman that cometh into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel; and acquire power in Ephratah, and make thyself a name 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 let thy house become like the house of Pherez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give thee of 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 And Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bore 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 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah who hath not left thee this day without one that has the right of redemption, and may his name be 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 And he shall be to thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age; for thy daughter-in-law who loves thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, has borne him.
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, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
Naomí je vzela otroka in ga položila v svoje naročje in mu postala pestunja.
17 And the women [her] neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi. And they called his name Obed. He is 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 Pherez. Pherez begot Hezron,
Torej to so Parecovi rodovi: Parec je zaplodil Hecróna,
19 and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,
Hecrón je zaplodil Rama, Ram je zaplodil Aminadába,
20 and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
Aminadáb je zaplodil Nahšóna, Nahšón je zaplodil Salmóna,
21 and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
Salmón je zaplodil Boaza, Boaz je zaplodil Obéda,
22 and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
Obéd je zaplodil Jeseja in Jese je zaplodil Davida.
