Ruth 4
1 Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down.
А Воз изиђе на врата градска, и седе онде. И гле, наиђе онај осветник, за ког Воз говораше, и рече му Воз: Ходи овамо, седи овде. И он дође и седе.
2 And Booz taking ten men of the ancients of the city, said to them: Sit ye down here.
Потом узе Воз десет људи између старешина градских и рече: Поседајте овде. И поседаше.
3 They sat down, and he spoke to the kinsman: Noemi, who is returned from the country of Moab, will sell a parcel of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech.
Тада рече оном осветнику: Њиву која је била брата нашег Елимелеха продала је Нојемина, која се вратила из земље моавске.
4 I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field.
Зато рекох: Да јавим теби, и кажем ти: Узми њиву пред овима што седе овде и пред старешинама народа мог; ако ћеш откупити, откупи; ако ли нећеш откупити, кажи ми да знам; јер осим тебе нема другог који би откупио, а после тебе идем ја. А он рече: Ја ћу откупити.
5 And Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman’s hand, thou must take also Ruth the Moabitess, who was the wife of the deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance.
А Воз рече: У који дан узмеш њиву из руке Нојеминине, треба да узмеш и Руту Моавку жену умрлога, да подигнеш име умрлом у наследству његовом.
6 He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege, which I profess I do willingly forego.
Тада рече онај осветник: Не могу откупити, да не распем своје наследство; откупи ти шта би требало да ја откупим, јер ја не могу откупити.
7 Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe, and gave it to his neighhour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel.
А беше од старине обичај у Израиљу о откупљивању и промењивању, да би свака ствар била тврда, да један изује обућу своју и да другом, и то беше сведоџба у Израиљу.
8 So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot.
Кад дакле онај осветник рече Возу: Узми ти, изу обућу своју.
9 And he said to the ancients and to all the people: You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and Chelion’s, and Mahalon’s, of the hand of Noemi:
А Воз рече старешинама и свему народу: Ви сте сведоци данас да сам откупио из руке Нојеминине шта је год било Елимелехово и шта је год било Хелеоново и Малоново;
10 And have taken to wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon, to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name be cut off, from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.
И да сам узео за жену Руту Моавку жену Малонову да подигнем име умрлом у наследству његовом, да не би погинуло име умрлом међу браћом његовом и у месту његовом; ви сте сведоци данас.
11 Then all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name in Bethlehem:
И сав народ који беше на вратима градским и старешине рекоше: Сведоци смо; да да Господ да жена која долази у дом твој буде као Рахиља и Лија, које обе сазидаше дом Израиљев; богати се у Ефрати, и прослави име своје у Витлејему!
12 And that the house may be, as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore unto Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
И од семена које ти Господ да од те жене, да постане дом твој као дом Фареса ког роди Тамара Јуди.
13 Booz therefore took Ruth, and married her: and went in unto her, and the Lord gave her to conceive and to bear a son.
И тако узе Воз Руту и би му жена, и он леже с њом, и Господ јој даде те затрудне, и роди сина.
14 And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor, that his name should be preserved in Israel.
И рекоше жене Нојемини: Да је благословен Господ који те није оставио данас без осветника, да се име Његово слави у Израиљу!
15 And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.
Он ће ти утешити душу и биће потпора старости твојој, јер га роди снаха твоја која те љуби и која ти је боља него седам синова.
16 And Noemi taking the child laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto it.
И узе Нојемина дете, и метну га на крило своје, и беше му дадиља.
17 And the women her neighbours, congratulating with her and saying: There is a son born to Noemi: called his name Obed: he is the father of Isai, the father of David.
И суседе наденуше му име говорећи: Роди се син Нојемини, и прозваше га Овид. Он би отац Јесеја, оца Давидовог.
18 These are the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esron,
А ово је племе Фаресово: Фарес роди Есрома;
19 Esron begot Aram, Aram begot Aminadab,
А Есром роди Арама; а Арам роди Аминадава;
20 Aminadab begot Nahasson, Nahasson begot Salmon,
А Аминадав роди Насона; а Насон роди Салмона;
21 Salmon begot Booz, Booz begot Obed,
А Салмон роди Воза; а Воз роди Овида;
22 Obed begot Isai, Isai begot David.
А Овид роди Јесеја; а Јесеј роди Давида.
