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.
Boaz var imidlertid gaaet op til Byporten og havde sat sig der. Og se, den Løser, Boaz havde talt om, kom netop forbi. Da tiltalte han ham og sagde: »Kom og sæt dig her!« Da den anden kom og satte sig,
2 And he took ten men from [the] elders of the city and he said sit here and they sat down.
fik han fat i ti af Byens Ældste og sagde: »Sæt eder her!« Og de satte sig der.
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.
Da sagde han til Løseren: »Den Marklod, som tilhørte vor Slægtning Elimelek, vil No'omi, der er kommet tilbage fra Moab, sælge.
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.
Derfor tænkte jeg, at jeg vilde lade dig det vide og sige: Køb den i Overværelse af dem, der sidder her, og mit Folks Ældste! Vil du løse den, saa gør det; men vil du ikke, saa sig til, at jeg kan vide det; thi der er ingen anden til at løse end du og derefter jeg selv!« Han svarede: »Jeg vil løse den!«
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.
Da sagde Boaz: »Men samtidig med at du køber Marken af No'omi, køber du ogsaa Moabiterinden Rut, den afdødes Enke, for at rejse den afdødes Navn over hans Arvelod!«
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].
Da svarede Løseren: »Saa kan jeg ikke blive Løser, da jeg derved vilde skade min egen Arvelod. Løs du, hvad jeg skulde løse, thi jeg kan ikke!«
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.
Nu havde man i gamle Dage i Israel den Skik til Stadfæstelse af Løsning og Byttehandel, at man trak sin Sko af og gav den anden Part den; saaledes blev en Sag vidnefast i Israel.
8 And he said the kinsman-redeemer to Boaz acquire [it] for yourself and he took off sandal his.
Idet nu Løseren sagde til Boaz: »Køb du den!« trak han derfor sin Sko af.
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.
Da sagde Boaz til de Ældste og alle dem, der var til Stede: »I er i Dag Vidner paa, at jeg køber alt, hvad der tilhørte Elimelek, og alt, hvad der tilhørte Kiljon og Malon, af No'omi;
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.
og tillige køber jeg mig Moabiterinden Rut, Malons Enke, til Hustru for at rejse den afdødes Navn over hans Arvelod, at den afdødes Navn ikke skal udslettes blandt hans Brødre og fra hans Hjemstavns Port; I er Vidner i Dag!«
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.
Da sagde alle Folkene, som var i Byporten, og de Ældste: »Vi er Vidner! HERREN lade den Kvinde, der nu drager ind i dit Hus, blive som Rakel og Lea, de to, der byggede Israels Hus. Bliv mægtig i Efrata, og dit Navn vorde priset i Betlehem!
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.
Maatte dit Hus blive som Perez's Hus, ham, Tamar fødte Juda, ved de Efterkommere, HERREN giver dig af denne unge Kvinde!«
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.
Saa ægtede Boaz Rut, og hun blev hans Hustru; og da han gik ind til hende, lod HERREN hende blive frugtsommelig, og hun fødte en Søn.
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.
Da sagde Kvinderne til No'omi: »Lovet være HERREN, som ikke lod dig uden Løser i Dag, og hans Navn skal prises i Israel.
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.
Han blive din Trøster og Forsørger i din Alderdom; thi din Sønnekone, som viste dig Kærlighed, har født ham, hun, som er dig mere værd end syv Sønner!«
16 And she took Naomi the child and she placed him on bosom her and she became of him a nurse.
Da tog No'omi Barnet i sin Favn, og hun blev dets Fostermoder.
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.
Og Naboerskerne gav ham Navn, idet de sagde: »No'omi har faaet en Søn!« Og de kaldte ham Obed. Han blev Fader til Davids Fader Isaj.
18 And these [are] [the] descendants of Perez Perez he fathered Hezron.
Dette er Perez's Slægtebog: Perez avlede Hezron,
19 And Hezron he fathered Ram and Ram he fathered Amminadab.
Hezron avlede Ram, Ram avlede Amminadab,
20 And Amminadab he fathered Nahshon and Nahshon he fathered Salmah.
Amminadab avlede Nahasjon, Nahasjon avlede Salmon,
21 And Salmon he fathered Boaz and Boaz he fathered Obed.
Salmon avlede Boaz, Boaz avlede Obed,
22 And Obed he fathered Jesse and Jesse he fathered David.
Obed avlede Isaj, og Isaj avlede David.
