Ruth 4

1 Then went Boaz vp to the gate, and sate there, and beholde, the kinsman, of whome Boaz had spoken, came by: and he sayd, Ho, snch one, come, sit downe here. And he turned, and sate downe.

١ فَانْطَلَقَ بُوعَزُ إِلَى سَاحَةِ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَجَلَسَ هُنَاكَ. فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ مَرَّ الْقَرِيبُ الْوَلِيُّ الَّذِي تَحَدَّثَ عَنْهُ بُوعَزُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «تَعَالَ هُنَا يَا صَدِيقِي وَاجْلِسْ». فَمَالَ إِلَيْهِ وَجَلَسَ.

2 Then he tooke ten men of the Elders of the citie, and sayd, Sit ye downe here. And they sate downe.

٢ وَاسْتَدْعَى بُوعَزُ عَشْرَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ شُيُوخِ المَدِينَةِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اجْلِسُوا مَعْنَا هُنَا». فَجَلَسُوا.

3 And he said vnto ye kinsman, Naomi, that is come againe out of ye countrey of Moab, wil sell a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelechs.

٣ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى الْوَلِيِّ الأَقْرَبِ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ نُعْمِي الَّتِي رَجَعَتْ مِنْ بِلادِ مُوآبَ مُزْمِعَةٌ عَلَى بَيْعِ قِطْعَةِ الْحَقْلِ الَّتِي لِقَرِيبِنَا أَلِيمَالِكَ.

4 And I thought to aduertise thee, saying, Buy it before the assistants, and before the Elders of my people. If thou wilt redeeme it, redeeme it: but if thou wilt not redeeme it, tel me: for I know that there is none besides thee to redeeme it, and I am after thee. Then he answered, I wil redeeme it.

٤ فَرَأَيْتُ أَنْ أُطْلِعَكَ عَلَى الأَمْرِ قَائِلاً: اشْتَرِ الْحَقْلَ أَمَامَ الْجَالِسِينَ، وَبِحُضُورِ شُيُوخِ قَوْمِي. فَإِنْ رَغِبْتَ فَفُكَّهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَرْغَبْ فَقُلْ لِي، فَأَنَا أَوْلَى بِالشِّرَاءِ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ». فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّجُلُ: «إِنِّي أَشْتَرِيهِ».

5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou mnst also buy it of Ruth the Moabitesse the wife of the dead, to stirre vp the name of the dead, vpon his inheritance.

٥ فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ: «يَوْمَ تَشْتَرِي الْحَقْلَ مِنْ نُعْمِي، فَوَاجِبُكَ يَقْتَضِي أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ رَاعُوثَ الْمُوآبِيَّةَ لِتُحْيِيَ اسْمَ الْمَيْتِ عَلَى مِيرَاثِهِ».

6 And the kinsman answered, I can not redeeme it, lest I destroy mine owne inheritance: redeeme my right to thee, for I can not redeeme it.

٦ فَأَجَابَهُ الْوَلِيُّ الأَقْرَبُ: «لا يُمْكِنُنِي أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ الْحَقْلَ لِئَلّا أُفْسِدَ مِيرَاثِي، فَاشْتَرِ أَنْتَ الْحَقْلَ عِوَضاً عَنِّي لأَنَّنِي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ فِكَاكَهُ».

7 Now this was the maner beforetime in Israel, concerning redeeming and changing, for to stablish all things: a man did plucke off his shooe, and gaue it his neighbour, and this was a sure witnes in Israel.

٧ وَكَانَتِ الْعَادَةُ سَابِقاً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِشَأْنِ الْفِكَاكِ وَالْمُبَادَلَةِ لأَجْلِ إِثْبَاتِ حَقِّ الأَمْرِ، أَنْ يَخْلَعَ الرَّجُلُ نَعْلَهُ وَيُعْطِيَهُ لِلشَّارِي، لإِضْفَاءِ صِفَةِ الشَّرْعِيَّةِ عَلَى عَقْدِ الْبَيْعِ أَوِ الْمُبَادَلَةِ.

8 Therefore the kinsman sayd to Boas, Buy it for thee: and he drew off his shooe.

٨ وَاسْتَطْرَدَ الْوَلِيُّ الأَقْرَبُ قَائِلاً لِبُوعَزَ: «اشْتَرِ لِنَفْسِكَ» وَخَلَعَ نَعْلَهُ.

9 And Boaz sayd vnto the Elders and vnto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I haue bought all that was Elimelechs, and all that was Chilions and Mahlons, of the hand of Naomi.

٩ فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ لِلشُّيُوخِ وَلِلْجَمْعِ الْمَاثِلِ حَوْلَهُ: «أَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ الْيَوْمَ أَنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ كُلَّ مَا لأَلِيمَالِكَ وَمَا لاِبْنَيْهِ كِلْيُونَ وَمَحْلُونَ مِنْ يَدِ نُعْمِي.

10 And moreouer, Ruth the Moabitesse the wife of Mahlon, haue I bought to be my wife, to stirre vp the name of the dead vpon his inheritance, and that the name of the dead be not put out from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

١٠ وَكَذَلِكَ رَاعُوثُ الْمُوآبِيَّةُ امْرَأَةُ مَحْلُونَ قَدِ اشْتَرَيْتُهَا لِي زَوْجَةً، لأُحْيِيَ اسْمَ الْمَيْتِ عَلَى مِيرَاثِهِ، فَلا يَنْقَرِضَ اسْمُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ إِخْوَتِهِ وَمِنْ سِجِلِّ الْمَدِينَةِ. وَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ».

11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the Elders sayd, We are witnesses: the Lord make the wife that commeth into thine house, like Rahel and like Leah, which twaine did build the house of Israel: and that thou mayest doe worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Beth-lehem,

١١ فَقَالَ الْجَمْعُ الْمَاثِلُ عِنْدَ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ أَيْضاً: «نَحْنُ شُهُودٌ. فَلْيَجْعَلِ الرَّبُّ الْمَرْأَةَ الدَّاخِلَةَ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ نَظِيرَ رَاحِيلَ وَلَيْئَةَ اللَّتَيْنِ بَنَتَا بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ. فَلْيَتَّسِعْ نُفُوذُكَ فِي أَفْرَاتَةَ، وَلْيَذِعِ اسْمُكَ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ.

12 And that thine house be like the house of Pharez (whom Thamar bare vnto Iudah) of the seede which the Lord shall giue thee of this yong woman.

١٢ وَلْيَكُنْ نَسْلُكَ الَّذِي يُعْطِيكَ إِيَّاهُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ كَنَسْلِ فَارَصَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ ثَامَارُ لِيَهُوذَا».

13 So Boaz tooke Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in vnto her, the Lord gaue that she conceiued, and bare a sonne.

١٣ فَتَزَوَّجَ بُوعَزُ مِنْ رَاعُوثَ وَعَاشَرَهَا فَحَمَلَتْ مِنْهُ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً.

14 And the women sayd vnto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, and his name shalbe continued in Israel.

١٤ فَقَالَتِ النِّسَاءُ لِنُعْمِي: «لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مُبَارَكاً الَّذِي لَمْ يَحْرِمْكِ الْيَوْمَ وَلِيًّا، وَلْيَذِعِ اسْمُهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

15 And this shall bring thy life againe, and cherish thine olde age: for thy daughter in lawe which loueth thee, hath borne vnto him, and she is better to thee then seuen sonnes.

١٥ لأَنَّ كَنَّتَكِ الَّتِي أَحَبَّتْكِ هِيَ أَكْثَرُ خَيْراً لَكِ مِنْ سَبْعَةِ أَبْنَاءٍ، وَقَدْ وَلَدَتْهُ لِيَكُونَ سَبَباً فِي إِحْيَاءِ نَفْسِكِ وَرِعَايَتِكِ فِي شَيْخُوخَتِكِ».

16 And Naomi tooke the childe, and layde it in her lap, and became nource vnto it.

١٦ فَأَخَذَتْ نُعْمِي الْوَلَدَ فِي حِضْنِهَا، وَقَامَتْ عَلَى تَرْبِيَتِهِ.

17 And the women her neighbours gaue it a name, saying, There is a childe borne to Naomi, and called the name thereof Obed: the same was the father of Ishai, the father of Dauid.

١٧ وَقَالَتْ جَارَاتُهَا: «قَدْ وُلِدَ ابْنٌ لِنُعْمِي». وَدَعَوْنَهُ عُوبِيدَ، وَهُوَ أَبُو يَسَّى أَبِي الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ.

18 These now are ye generations of Pharez: Pharez begate Hezron,

١٨ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ مَوَالِيدُ فَارَصَ: أَنْجَبَ فَارَصُ حَصْرُونَ.

19 And Hezron begate Ram, and Ram begate Amminadab,

١٩ وَأَنْجَبَ حَصْرُونُ رَامَ، وَأَنْجَبَ رَامُ عَمِّينَادَابَ.

20 And Amminadab begate Nahshon, and Nahshon begate Salmah,

٢٠ وَأَنْجَبَ عَمِّينَادَابُ نَحْشُونَ، وَأَنْجَبَ نَحْشُونُ سَلْمُونَ.

21 And Salmon begate Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

٢١ وَأَنْجَبَ سَلْمُونُ بُوعَزَ، وَأَنْجَبَ بُوعَزُ عُوبِيدَ.

22 And Obed begate Ishai, and Ishai begate Dauid.

٢٢ وَأَنْجَبَ عُوبِيدُ يَسَّى، وَأَنْجَبَ يَسَّى دَاُودَ.
