Ruth 4
1 [Meanwhile], Boaz went up to the town gate and sat there. [That was the place where people met together to decide important matters]. When the man that Boaz had mentioned came there, the close relative of Ruth and Naomi’s dead husbands [who had a responsibility to take care of Naomi and Ruth], Boaz said to him, “My friend, come over here and sit down.” So the man went and sat down.
Un Boas gāja vārtos un tur apsēdās, un redzi, tas tuvinieks gāja garām, no kā Boas bija runājis. Tad viņš sacīja: nāc, brāl, apsēdies še. Un tas nāca un apsēdās.
2 Boaz then gathered ten of the elders of the town and asked them to sit down [there also]. After they sat down,
Un viņš ņēma desmit vīrus no pilsētas vecajiem un sacīja: apsēžaties šeitan, un tie apsēdās.
3 he said to the man who had the responsibility to take care of Naomi, “Naomi has returned from Moab [region]. She wants to sell the field that belonged to our relative Elimelech.
Tad viņš uz to tuvinieku sacīja: to tīruma gabalu, kas mūsu brālim Elimelekam piederēja, Naēmja, kas no Moaba zemes atnākusi, grib pārdot.
4 I thought that I should tell you about that, and suggest that you buy it, while these elders who are sitting here are listening. If you are willing to buy the property, do that. But if you do not want to buy it, tell me, so that I will know. I am suggesting this to you because you are the one who has the first right to buy it, and I am the one who has the second/next right to buy it.” The man replied, “I will buy it!”
Un es apņēmos to tev sacīt, proti: pērc viņu to iedzīvotāju un manu ļaužu vecaju priekšā. Ja tu to gribi pirkt, tad pērc, bet ja tu nepirksi, tad saki man, ka es to zinu, jo cita nav, kam nākas to pirkt, bez manis un tevis. Tad tas sacīja: es pirkšu.
5 Then Boaz told him, “When you buy the land from Naomi, you will also be taking Ruth, [the woman] who is from Moab, [to be your wife], in order that she may [give birth to a son who will] inherit the property of her dead husband [MTY].”
Un Boas sacīja: tai dienā kad tu to tīrumu no Naēmjas pērc, tad tev arī Ruti, to Moabieti, tā nomirušā sievu, būs precēt, un celt tā nomirušā vārdu par viņa zemes daļu.
6 Then the close relative [of Ruth’s dead husband] said, “[If that is so], I do not [want to] buy the field, because then my own [children] would not inherit the property; [Ruth’s children would inherit it]. You buy the property!”
Tad tas tuvinieks sacīja: es nevaru to priekš sevis pirkt, lai savu paša mantību nemaitāju; pērc tu, kas man nākas pirkt, jo es to nevaru atpirkt.
7 At that time, it was the custom in Israel, when a person bought property that belonged to another person, that the man who was selling the property would take off one of his sandals and give it to the one who was buying the property. That was the way they finalized sales in Israel.
Nu tas vecos laikos bija tiesa iekš Israēla pie pirkšanas un pie mīšanas, apstiprināt ikkatru līgumu: vīrs novilka savu kurpi un to deva savam tuvākam, un tas bija par liecību iekš Israēla.
8 So that close relative said to Boaz, “You buy the field yourself!” And he took off [one of] his sandals [and gave it to Boaz].
Tad šis tuvinieks sacīja uz Boasu: pērc tu priekš sevis! Un novilka savu kurpi.
9 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the [other] people [who were there], “Today you have all seen that I have bought from Naomi all the property that belonged to [her dead husband] Elimelech and [his dead sons] Mahlon and Chilion.
Un Boas sacīja uz tiem vecajiem un uz visiem ļaudīm: jūs šodien esat liecinieki, ka no Naēmjas rokas visu esmu pircis, kas Elimelekam, un visu, kas Ķiljonam un Mālonam piederēja.
10 I am also taking Ruth, [the woman] from Moab, Mahlon’s widow, to be my wife, in order that she may give birth to a son who will inherit the property of the dead man. In that way, Elimelech’s name will continue [LIT] among the members of his family and among all the people of this town. Today you all are witnesses [of what I have done].”
Un arī Ruti, to Moabieti, Mālona sievu, es sev precēšu par sievu, un celšu tā nomirušā vārdu par viņa zemes daļu, ka tā nomirušā vārds netop izdeldēts no viņa brāļiem un no viņa pilsētas vārtiem, - jūs esat šodien liecinieki.
11 All the elders and the [others] who were sitting at the [town] gate [agreed, and one of them] said, “[Yes, ] we are witnesses. We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable this woman, who will be coming into your home, to give birth to many children, as Rachel and Leah did. They are the women from whom all [us] people [MTY] of Israel are descended. We hope that you will become rich in the clan of Ephratah, and become famous [MTY] [here] in Bethlehem.
Tad visi ļaudis, kas bija vārtos, līdz ar tiem vecajiem sacīja: mēs esam liecinieki. Lai Tas Kungs šo sievu, kas nāk tavā namā, dara kā Rahēli un Leū, kas abas Israēla namu vairojušas, un lai tevi stiprina Efratā un tev dara slavu Bētlemē.
12 We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable you and this young woman to have many descendants. And we hope/desire that your family will be as important as the family of your ancestor Perez, the son of Judah and Tamar.”
Un tavs nams lai ir, kā Pereca nams, ko Tamāre Jūdam dzemdējusi, no tā dzimuma, ko Tas Kungs tev dos no šīs jaunās sievas.
13 So Boaz took Ruth [home], and she became his wife. He (slept with/had sexual relations with) her [EUP] and Yahweh enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
Tad Boas ņēma Ruti, un tā viņam bija par sievu, un viņš pie tās gāja, un Tas Kungs viņai deva, ka tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu.
14 The women [of Bethlehem] said to Naomi, “Praise Yahweh! Now he has given [LIT] you a grandson who will be the one who will have the responsibility to take care of you. We hope that he will become famous [MTY] throughout Israel.
Tad tās sievas sacīja uz Naēmju: svētīts lai ir Tas Kungs, kas tev neliek trūkt tuvinieka šodien; un Viņa Vārds lai top slavēts iekš Israēla!
15 He will make you feel young again, and he will take care of you when you become old. Your daughter-in-law, who loves you, has given birth to a son, who will (be better to/do more for) you than [if you had] seven sons [of your own].”
Un tas tev būs par dvēseles atspirdzinātāju un par kopēju vecumā, jo tava vedekla, ko tu mīļo, viņu dzemdējusi, kas tev ir labāka, nekā septiņi dēli.
16 Then Naomi took the baby and put him on her lap, and took care of him.
Un Naēmja ņēma to bērniņu un lika to savā klēpī un bija viņa aukle.
17 The women who were living near her said, “[It is as though] Naomi [now] has a son!” And they named him Obed. [Later], Obed became the father of Jesse, and [later] Jesse became the father of [King] David.
Un kaimiņienes viņam deva vārdu sacīdamas: Naēmjai dēls dzimis, un tie nosauca viņa vārdu Obedu, šis ir Isajus Dāvida tēva, tēvs:
18 Here is [a list of] the ancestors of [King David]: Perez’s son was Hezron. Hezron’s son was Ram. Ram’s son was Amminadab. Amminadab’s son was Nahshon. Nahshon’s son was Salmon. Salmon’s son was Boaz. Boaz’s son was Obed. Obed’s son was Jesse. Jesse’s son was [King] David.
Šie nu ir Pereca dzimumi:
Perecs dzemdināja Hecronu, un Hecrons dzemdināja Ramu, un Rams dzemdināja Aminadabu,
Un Aminadabs dzemdināja Nahšonu, un Nahšons dzemdināja Zalmu,
Un Zalmus dzemdināja Boasu, un Boas dzemdināja Obedu,
Un Obeds dzemdināja Isaju, un Isajus dzemdināja Dāvidu.
