Ruth 4
1 Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. Look, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, "Come over here, friend, and sit down." He turned aside, and sat down.
爰にボアズ門の所にのぼり往て其處に坐しけるに前にボアズの言たる贖業者過りければ之に言ふ 某よ來りて此に坐せよと 即ち來りて坐す
2 He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here." They sat down.
ボアズまた邑の長老十人を招き汝等此に坐せよといひければ則ち坐す
3 He said to the near kinsman, "Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's.
時に彼その贖業人にいひけるはモアブの地より還りしナオミ我等の兄弟エリメレクの地を賣る
4 I thought to disclose it to you, saying, 'Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.' If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you." He said, "I will redeem it."
我汝につげしらせて此に坐する人々の前わが民の長老の前にて之を買へと言んと想へり 汝もし之を贖はんと思はば贖ふべし 然どもし之を贖はずば吾に告てしらしめよ 汝の外に贖ふ者なければなり 我はなんぢの次なりと彼我これを贖はんといひければ
5 Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi and from Ruth the Moabitess, you must also acquire the widow of the deceased, to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance."
ボアズいふ 汝ナオミの手よりその地を買ふ日には死る者の妻なりし モアブの女ルツをも買て死る者の名をその產業に存すべきなり
6 The near kinsman said, "I can't redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can't redeem it."
贖業人いひけるは我はみづから贖ふあたはず 恐くはわが產業を壞はん 汝みづから我にかはりてあがなへ 我あがなふことあたはざればなりと
7 Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of attestation in Israel.
昔イスラエルにて物を贖ひ或は交易んとする事につきて萬事を定めたる慣例は斯のごとし 即ち此人鞋を脱て彼人にわたせり 是イスラエルの中の證なりき
8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." And he took off his sandal and gave it to him.
是によりてその贖業人ボアズにむかひ汝みづから買ふべしといひて其鞋を脱たり
9 Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, "You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Kilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.
ボアズ長老および諸の民にいひけるは汝等今日見證をなす 我エリメレクの凡の所有およびキリオンとマロンの凡の所有をナオミの手より買たり
10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, that the name of the deceased may not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses this day."
我またマロンの妻なりしモアブの女ルツを買て妻となし彼死る者の名をその產業に存すべし 是かの死る者の名を其兄弟の中とその處の門に絶ざらしめんためなり 汝等今日證をなす
11 All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May Jehovah make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
門にをる人々および長老等いひけるはわれら證をなす 願くはヱホバ汝の家にいるところの婦人をして彼イスラエルの家を造りなしたるラケルとレアの二人のごとくならしめたまはんことを 願くは汝エフラタにて能を得ベテレヘムにて名をあげよ
12 Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which Jehovah shall give you of this young woman."
ねがはくはヱホバが此若き婦よりして汝にたまはんところの子に由て汝の家かのタマルがユダに生たるペレズの家のごとくなるにいたれ
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bore a son.
斯てボアズ、ルツを娶りて妻となし彼の所にいりければヱホバ彼を孕ましめたまひて彼男子を生り
14 The women said to Naomi, "Blessed be Jehovah, who has not left you this day without a redeemer; and let his name be famous in Israel.
婦女等ナオミにいひけるはヱホバは讚べきかな 汝を遺ずして今日汝に贖業人あらしめたまふ その名イスラエルに揚れ
15 He shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him."
彼は汝の心をなぐさむる者 汝の老を養ふ者とならん 汝を愛する汝の媳即ち七人の子よりも汝に善もの之をうみたり
16 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and looked after him.
ナオミその子をとりて之を懷に置き之が養育者となる
17 The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi." And they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
その隣人なる婦女等これに名をつけて云ふ ナオミに男子うまれたりと その名をオベデと稱り 彼はダビデの父なるヱサイの父なり
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
偖ペレヅの系圖は左のごとし ペレヅ、ヘヅロンを生み
19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
ヘヅロン、ラムを生み ラム、アミナダブを生み
20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
アミナダブ、ナシヨンを生み ナシヨン、サルモンを生み
21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
サルモン、ボアズを生み ボアズ、オベデを生み
22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
オベデ、ヱサイを生み ヱサイ、ダビデを生り
