< Ruth 4 >

1 And Boaz he went up the gate and he sat down there and there! the kinsman-redeemer [was] passing by whom he had spoken Boaz and he said turn aside! sit! here a certain one a certain one and he turned aside and he sat down.
波阿斯到了城门,坐在那里,恰巧波阿斯所说的那至近的亲属经过。波阿斯说:“某人哪,你来坐在这里。”他就来坐下。
2 And he took ten men from [the] elders of the city and he said sit here and they sat down.
波阿斯又从本城的长老中拣选了十人,对他们说:“请你们坐在这里。”他们就都坐下。
3 And he said to the kinsman redeemer [the] portion of the field which [belonged] to brother our to Elimelech she has sold Naomi who returned from [the] region of Moab.
波阿斯对那至近的亲属说:“从摩押地回来的拿俄米,现在要卖我们族兄以利米勒的那块地;
4 And I I said I will uncover ear your saying acquire [it] before the [ones] sitting and before [the] elders of people my if you will redeem redeem and if not he will redeem tell! to me (so let me know *Q(K)*) that there not except you [is] to redeem and I [am] after you and he said I I will redeem.
我想当赎那块地的是你,其次是我,以外再没有别人了。你可以在这里的人面前和我本国的长老面前说明,你若肯赎就赎,若不肯赎就告诉我。”那人回答说:“我肯赎。”
5 And he said Boaz on [the] day acquiring you the field from [the] hand of Naomi and from with Ruth the Moabite [woman] [the] wife of the dead [man] (you have acquired *Q(K)*) to raise up [the] name of the dead [man] over inheritance his.
波阿斯说:“你从拿俄米手中买这地的时候,也当娶死人的妻摩押女子路得,使死人在产业上存留他的名。”
6 And he said the kinsman-redeemer not I am able (to redeem [it] *Q(k)*) for myself lest I should ruin own inheritance my redeem for yourself you right of redemption my for not I am able to redeem [it].
那人说:“这样我就不能赎了,恐怕于我的产业有碍。你可以赎我所当赎的,我不能赎了。”
7 And this before [was] in Israel on the redemption and on the exchange to confirm every matter he took off anyone sandal his and he gave [it] to neighbor his and this [was] the attestation in Israel.
从前,在以色列中要定夺什么事,或赎回,或交易,这人就脱鞋给那人。以色列人都以此为证据。
8 And he said the kinsman-redeemer to Boaz acquire [it] for yourself and he took off sandal his.
那人对波阿斯说:“你自己买吧!”于是将鞋脱下来了。
9 And he said Boaz to the elders and all the people [are] witnesses you this day that I acquire all that [belonged] to Elimelech and all that [belonged] to Kilion and Mahlon from [the] hand of Naomi.
波阿斯对长老和众民说:“你们今日作见证,凡属以利米勒和基连、玛伦的,我都从拿俄米手中置买了;
10 And also Ruth the Moabite [woman] [the] wife of Mahlon I acquire for myself to a wife to raise up [the] name of the dead [man] over inheritance his and not it will be cut off [the] name of the dead [man] from with brothers his and from [the] gate of place his [are] witnesses you this day.
又娶了玛伦的妻摩押女子路得为妻,好在死人的产业上存留他的名,免得他的名在本族本乡灭没。你们今日可以作见证。”
11 And they said all the people which [was] at the gate and the elders [we are] witnesses may he make Yahweh the woman who is about to come into house your like Rachel - and like Leah who they built [the] two of them [the] house of Israel and make wealth in Ephrathah and proclaim a name in Beth-lehem.
在城门坐着的众民和长老都说:“我们作见证。愿耶和华使进你家的这女子,像建立以色列家的拉结、利亚二人一样。又愿你在以法他得亨通,在伯利恒得名声。
12 So may it be household your like [the] household of Perez whom she bore Tamar to Judah from the offspring which he will give Yahweh to you from the young woman this.
愿耶和华从这少年女子赐你后裔,使你的家像她玛从犹大所生法勒斯的家一般。”
13 And he took Boaz Ruth and she became of him a wife and he went into her and he gave Yahweh to her conception and she bore a son.
于是,波阿斯娶了路得为妻,与她同房。耶和华使她怀孕生了一个儿子。
14 And they said the women to Naomi [be] blessed Yahweh who not he has caused to cease to you a kinsman-redeemer this day and may it be proclaimed name his in Israel.
妇人们对拿俄米说:“耶和华是应当称颂的!因为今日没有撇下你,使你无至近的亲属。愿这孩子在以色列中得名声。
15 And he will become for you [one who] restores life and to sustain old age your for daughter-in-law your who she loves you she has given birth to him who she [is] good to you more than seven sons.
他必提起你的精神,奉养你的老,因为是爱慕你的那儿妇所生的。有这儿妇比有七个儿子还好!”
16 And she took Naomi the child and she placed him on bosom her and she became of him a nurse.
拿俄米就把孩子抱在怀中,作他的养母。
17 And they called him the [female] neighbors a name saying he has been born a son to Naomi and they called name his Obed he [was] [the] father of Jesse [the] father of David.
邻舍的妇人说:“拿俄米得孩子了!”就给孩子起名叫俄备得。这俄备得是耶西的父,耶西是大卫的父。
18 And these [are] [the] descendants of Perez Perez he fathered Hezron.
法勒斯的后代记在下面:法勒斯生希斯 ;
19 And Hezron he fathered Ram and Ram he fathered Amminadab.
希斯 生兰;兰生亚米拿达;
20 And Amminadab he fathered Nahshon and Nahshon he fathered Salmah.
亚米拿达生拿顺;拿顺生撒门;
21 And Salmon he fathered Boaz and Boaz he fathered Obed.
撒门生波阿斯;波阿斯生俄备得;
22 And Obed he fathered Jesse and Jesse he fathered David.
俄备得生耶西;耶西生大卫。
