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.
А Воз изиђе на врата градска, и седе онде. И гле, наиђе онај осветник, за ког Воз говораше, и рече му Воз: Ходи овамо, седи овде. И он дође и седе.
2 Boaz then gathered ten of the elders of the town and asked them to sit down [there also]. After they sat down,
Потом узе Воз десет људи између старешина градских и рече: Поседајте овде. И поседаше.
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.
Тада рече оном осветнику: Њиву која је била брата нашег Елимелеха продала је Нојемина, која се вратила из земље моавске.
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!”
Зато рекох: Да јавим теби, и кажем ти: Узми њиву пред овима што седе овде и пред старешинама народа мог; ако ћеш откупити, откупи; ако ли нећеш откупити, кажи ми да знам; јер осим тебе нема другог који би откупио, а после тебе идем ја. А он рече: Ја ћу откупити.
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].”
А Воз рече: У који дан узмеш њиву из руке Нојеминине, треба да узмеш и Руту Моавку жену умрлога, да подигнеш име умрлом у наследству његовом.
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!”
Тада рече онај осветник: Не могу откупити, да не распем своје наследство; откупи ти шта би требало да ја откупим, јер ја не могу откупити.
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.
А беше од старине обичај у Израиљу о откупљивању и промењивању, да би свака ствар била тврда, да један изује обућу своју и да другом, и то беше сведоџба у Израиљу.
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].
Кад дакле онај осветник рече Возу: Узми ти, изу обућу своју.
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.
А Воз рече старешинама и свему народу: Ви сте сведоци данас да сам откупио из руке Нојеминине шта је год било Елимелехово и шта је год било Хелеоново и Малоново;
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].”
И да сам узео за жену Руту Моавку жену Малонову да подигнем име умрлом у наследству његовом, да не би погинуло име умрлом међу браћом његовом и у месту његовом; ви сте сведоци данас.
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.
И сав народ који беше на вратима градским и старешине рекоше: Сведоци смо; да да Господ да жена која долази у дом твој буде као Рахиља и Лија, које обе сазидаше дом Израиљев; богати се у Ефрати, и прослави име своје у Витлејему!
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.”
И од семена које ти Господ да од те жене, да постане дом твој као дом Фареса ког роди Тамара Јуди.
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.
И тако узе Воз Руту и би му жена, и он леже с њом, и Господ јој даде те затрудне, и роди сина.
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.
И рекоше жене Нојемини: Да је благословен Господ који те није оставио данас без осветника, да се име Његово слави у Израиљу!
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].”
Он ће ти утешити душу и биће потпора старости твојој, јер га роди снаха твоја која те љуби и која ти је боља него седам синова.
16 Then Naomi took the baby and put him on her lap, and took care of him.
И узе Нојемина дете, и метну га на крило своје, и беше му дадиља.
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.
И суседе наденуше му име говорећи: Роди се син Нојемини, и прозваше га Овид. Он би отац Јесеја, оца Давидовог.
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.
А ово је племе Фаресово: Фарес роди Есрома;
А Есром роди Арама; а Арам роди Аминадава;
А Аминадав роди Насона; а Насон роди Салмона;
А Салмон роди Воза; а Воз роди Овида;
А Овид роди Јесеја; а Јесеј роди Давида.
