< 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.
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 He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here." They sat down.
Vzel je deset mož izmed starešin mesta ter rekel: »Sedite tukaj.« In oni so se usedli.
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.
Sorodniku je rekel: »Naomí, ki je ponovno prišla iz moábske dežele, prodaja posest dežele, ki je bila od najinega brata Eliméleha
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."
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 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."
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 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."
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 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.
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 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." And he took off his sandal and gave it to him.
Zato je sorodnik Boazu rekel: » To si kupi zase.« Tako je sezul svoj čevelj.
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.
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 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."
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 All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the LORD 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.
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 Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which the LORD shall give you 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 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD 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 The women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a redeemer; and let 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 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."
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 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and looked after him.
Naomí je vzela otroka in ga položila v svoje naročje in mu postala pestunja.
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.
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 Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
Torej to so Parecovi rodovi: Parec je zaplodil Hecróna,
19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
Hecrón je zaplodil Rama, Ram je zaplodil Aminadába,
20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
Aminadáb je zaplodil Nahšóna, Nahšón je zaplodil Salmóna,
21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
Salmón je zaplodil Boaza, Boaz je zaplodil Obéda,
22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
Obéd je zaplodil Jeseja in Jese je zaplodil Davida.
