< 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.
Subió Booz a la puerta (de la ciudad) y se sentó allí; y he aquí que pasaba aquel pariente obligado al levirato, de quien Booz había hablado. Le dijo: “Ven aquí y siéntate, fulano.” Y se acercó el hombre y se sentó allí.
2 And he took ten men from [the] elders of the city and he said sit here and they sat down.
Tomó también diez hombres de los ancianos de la ciudad, y dijo: “Tomad asiento”; y ellos se sentaron.
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.
Entonces dijo al pariente obligado al levirato: “Noemí, que ha vuelto de los campos de Moab, vende la porción de campo que era de nuestro hermano Elimelec.
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.
He querido informarte de ello y te propongo: Adquiérela delante de los que están aquí sentados y delante de los ancianos de mi pueblo. Si quieres cumplir con el deber del levirato, hazlo; si no, dímelo, para que yo lo sepa; pues tú eres el pariente más cercano; después de ti vengo yo.” Él respondió: “Yo cumpliré con ese deber.”
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.
Le dijo entonces Booz: “Cuando adquieras el campo de manos de Noemí, lo adquirirás también de Rut la moabita, mujer del difunto, para resucitar el nombre del difunto sobre su herencia.”
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].
Replicó el obligado al levirato: “No puedo hacerlo, para no perjudicar mi herencia. Ejerce tú ese derecho que tengo yo, pues yo no puedo hacerlo.”
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.
Era costumbre antigua en Israel, en casos de levirato y cambios, que para dar validez a todo acto, el uno se quitaba el zapato y lo daba al otro. Esto servía de testimonio en Israel.
8 And he said the kinsman-redeemer to Boaz acquire [it] for yourself and he took off sandal his.
Por eso, el hombre obligado al levirato dijo a Booz: “Adquiérelo tú por tú cuenta.” Y se quitó el zapato.
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.
Dijo entonces Booz a los ancianos y a todo el pueblo: “Vosotros sois hoy testigos de que yo he adquirido de mano de Noemí todo lo que era de Elimelec, y todo lo que era de Quelión y Mahalón,
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.
y que he adquirido también a Rut la moabita, mujer de Mahalón, para que sea mi mujer, a fin de resucitar el nombre del difunto sobre su herencia, y para que el nombre del difunto no se borre de entre sus hermanos, ni de la puerta de su lugar. De eso sois vosotros hoy testigos.”
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.
Y todo el pueblo que estaba en la puerta, respondió juntamente con los ancianos: “Somos testigos. ¡Haga Yahvé que la mujer que va a entrar en tu casa, sea como Raquel y como Lía, que ambas edificaron la casa de Israel, para que seas poderoso en Efrata y tengas renombre en 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.
¡Venga a ser tu casa como la casa de Fares, que Tamar le dio a Judá, por la descendencia que Yahvé te diere de esta joven!”
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.
Tomó Booz a Rut, y ella fue su mujer. Entró a ella, y Yahvé le concedió que concibiera y diera a luz un hijo.
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.
Entonces decían las mujeres a Noemí: “¡Bendito sea Yahvé, que no te ha negado un redentor el día de hoy! ¡Su nombre sea celebrado en 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.
¡Que el consuele tu alma y sea el sostén de tu vejez! Pues tu nuera, que te ama y que para ti vale más que siete hijos, ha dado a luz.”
16 And she took Naomi the child and she placed him on bosom her and she became of him a nurse.
Y Noemí tomó al niño, lo puso en su regazo, y le sirvió de aya.
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.
Y las vecinas la aclamaron diciendo: “A Noemí le ha nacido un hijo”, y le llamaron Obed. Él fue padre de Isaí, padre de David.
18 And these [are] [the] descendants of Perez Perez he fathered Hezron.
Estas son las generaciones de Fares: Fares engendró a Hesrón;
19 And Hezron he fathered Ram and Ram he fathered Amminadab.
