< Ruth 4 >

1 And Boaz has gone up to the gate, and sits there, and behold, the redeemer is passing by of whom Boaz had spoken, and he says, “Turn aside, sit down here, such a one, such a one”; and he turns aside and sits 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 he takes ten men from [the] elderly of the city, and says, “Sit down here”; and they sit down.
अनि बोअजले त्यस शहरका दश जना धर्मगुरुहरूलाई लिए र भने, “यहाँ बस्‍नुहोस् ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू बसे ।
3 And he says to the redeemer, “A portion of the field which [is] to our brother, to Elimelech, has Naomi sold, who has come back from the fields of Moab;
बोअजले नजिकका कुटुम्बलाई भने, “मोआब देशबाट फर्केर आएकी नाओमीले हाम्रो दाज्यू एलीमेलेकको जग्गाको टुक्रा बेच्दैछिन् ।
4 and I said, I uncover your ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants and before [the] elderly of my people; if you redeem—redeem, and if none redeems—declare [it] to me and I know, for there is none except you to redeem, and I after you.” And he says, “I 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 Boaz says, “In the day of your buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, you have bought [it], to raise up the name of the dead over 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 redeemer says, “I am not able to redeem [it] for myself, lest I destroy my inheritance; redeem for yourself—you—my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.”
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 [is] formerly in Israel for redemption and for exchanging, to establish anything: a man has drawn off his sandal, and given [it] to his neighbor, and this [is] the 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 redeemer says to Boaz, “Buy [it] for yourself,” and draws off his sandal.
त्यसैले नजिकको कुटुम्बले बोअजलाई भने, “यो तपाईं आफैले किन्‍नुहोस्,” र तिनले आफ्नो जुत्ता फुकाले ।
9 And Boaz says to the elderly, and [to] all the people, “You [are] witnesses today that I have bought all that [belonged] to Elimelech, and all that [belonged] to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi;
त्यसपछि बोअजले धर्मगुरुहरू र सबै मानिसहरूलाई भने, “मैले एलीमेलेकको, किल्योन र महलोनको सबै थोक मैले आज किनेँ भन्‍ने कुराको साक्षी तपाईंहरू हुनुहुन्छ ।”
10 and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place; witnesses you [are] today.”
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 [are] in the gate say—also the elderly, “Witnesses! YHWH makes the woman who is coming to your house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and you do virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the name in Beth-Lehem;
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 Perez (whom Tamar bore to Judah), of the seed which YHWH gives to you of this young woman.”
परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई दिनुहुने यो महिलाद्धारा तपाईंको घर फारेसको घरानाजस्तै होस्, जसलाई यहूदाको निम्ति तामारले जन्‍माएकी थिइन् ।
13 And Boaz takes Ruth, and she becomes his wife, and he goes in to her, and YHWH gives conception to her, and she bears 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 women say to Naomi, “Blessed [is] YHWH who has not let a redeemer cease to you today, and his name is proclaimed 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 has been to you for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law who has loved you—who is better to you than seven sons—has borne 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 Naomi takes the boy, and lays him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse;
नाओमीले बालकलाई लिइन्, आफ्‍नो काखमा राखिन् र तिनको हेरचाह गरिन् ।
17 and the neighboring women give a name to him, saying, “There has been a son born to Naomi,” and they call his name Obed; he [is] father of Jesse, 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 generations of Perez: Perez begot Hezron,
फारेसका सन्तानहरू यिनै हुन्ः फारेस हेस्रोनका बुबा बने,
19 and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminidab,
हेस्रोन आरामका बुबा बने, आराम अम्मीनादाबको बुबा बने,
20 and Amminidab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
अम्मीनादाब नहशोनका बुबा बने, नहशोन सल्मोनको बुबा बने,
21 and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
सल्मोन बोअजका बुबा बने, बोअज ओबेदको बुबा बने,
22 and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
ओबेद यिशैका बुबा बने र यिशै दाऊदको बुबा बने ।
