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.
Booz subió a la puerta y se sentó allí. He aquí que el pariente cercano del que hablaba Booz pasaba por allí. Booz le dijo: “¡Ven aquí, amigo, y siéntate!”. Se acercó y se sentó.
2 He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here." They sat down.
Booz tomó a diez hombres de los ancianos de la ciudad y les dijo: “Siéntate aquí”, y se sentaron.
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.
Le dijo al pariente cercano: “Noemí, que ha vuelto del país de Moab, está vendiendo la parcela que era de nuestro hermano Elimelec.
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."
Pensé que debía decírtelo, diciendo: ‘Cómpralo ante los que están aquí sentados y ante los ancianos de mi pueblo’. Si quieres redimirla, redímela; pero si no quieres redimirla, dímelo para que lo sepa. Porque no hay nadie que la redima aparte de ti; y yo estoy detrás de ti”. Dijo: “Lo redimiré”.
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."
Entonces Booz dijo: “El día que compres el campo de la mano de Noemí, deberás comprárselo también a Rut la moabita, la mujer del muerto, para levantar el nombre del muerto sobre su herencia.”
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."
El pariente cercano dijo: “No puedo redimirlo por mí mismo, para no poner en peligro mi propia herencia. Toma para ti mi derecho de redención, pues no puedo redimirlo”.
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.
Esta era la costumbre de antaño en Israel en cuanto al rescate y al intercambio, para confirmar todas las cosas: un hombre se quitaba la sandalia y se la daba a su vecino; y esta era la manera de formalizar las transacciones en Israel.
8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." And he took off his sandal and gave it to him.
Entonces el pariente cercano dijo a Booz: “Cómpralo para ti”, y se quitó la sandalia.
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.
Booz dijo a los ancianos y a todo el pueblo: “Vosotros sois testigos hoy de que he comprado todo lo que era de Elimelec, y todo lo que era de Quelión y de Mahlón, de la mano de Noemí.
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."
Además, a Rut la moabita, esposa de Mahlón, la he comprado para que sea mi esposa, para levantar el nombre del muerto en su herencia, para que el nombre del muerto no sea cortado de entre sus hermanos y de la puerta de su lugar. Vosotros sois hoy testigos”.
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.
Todo el pueblo que estaba en la puerta, y los ancianos, dijeron: “Somos testigos. Que el Señor haga que la mujer que ha entrado en tu casa sea como Raquel y como Lea, que ambas edificaron la casa de Israel; y que te trate dignamente en Efrata, y que seas famosa en Belén.
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."
Que tu casa sea como la casa de Fares, que Tamar dio a Judá, de la descendencia que Yahvé te dará por esta joven.”
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.
Booz tomó a Rut y ella se convirtió en su esposa; se acercó a ella, y el Señor le permitió concebir, y dio a luz un hijo.
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.
Las mujeres dijeron a Noemí: “Bendito sea Yahvé, que no te ha dejado hoy sin pariente cercano. Que su nombre sea famoso en Israel.
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."
Él será para ti un restaurador de la vida y te sostendrá en tu vejez; porque tu nuera, que te ama, que es mejor para ti que siete hijos, lo ha dado a luz.”
16 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and looked after him.
Noemí tomó al niño, lo puso en su seno y lo amamantó.
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.
Las mujeres, sus vecinas, le pusieron un nombre, diciendo: “Le ha nacido un hijo a Noemí”. Le pusieron el nombre de Obed. Es el padre de Isaí, el padre de David.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
Esta es la historia de las generaciones de Fares: Fares fue padre de Esrom,
19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
y Esrom fue padre de Rama, y Rama fue padre de Aminadab,
20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
y Aminadab fue padre de Nashón, y Nashón fue padre de Salmón,
21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
y Salmón fue padre de Booz, y Booz fue padre de Obed,
22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
y Obed fue padre de Isaí, y Isaí fue padre de David.
