Ruth 4
1 Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Soon, the near kinsman of whom Boaz had spoken came by. Boaz said to him, “My friend, come over and sit down here.” The man came over and sat down.
Boas telah pergi ke pintu gerbang dan duduk di sana. Kebetulan lewatlah penebus yang disebutkan Boas itu. Lalu berkatalah Boas: "Hai saudara, datanglah dahulu ke mari, duduklah di sini." Maka datanglah ia, lalu duduk.
2 Then Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city and said, “Sit down here.” So they sat down.
Kemudian dipilihnyalah sepuluh orang dari para tua-tua kota itu, dan berkata: "Duduklah kamu di sini." Maka duduklah mereka.
3 Boaz said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has returned from the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land that was our brother Elimelek's.
Lalu berkatalah ia kepada penebus itu: "Tanah milik kepunyaan saudara kita Elimelekh hendak dijual oleh Naomi, yang telah pulang dari daerah Moab.
4 I thought to inform you and say to you, 'Buy it in the presence of those who are sitting here, and in the presence of the elders of my people.' If you wish to redeem it, redeem it. But if you do not wish to redeem it, then tell me, so that I may know, for there is no one to redeem it besides you, and I am after you.” Then the other man said, “I will redeem it.”
Jadi pikirku: baik juga hal itu kusampaikan kepadamu sebagai berikut: Belilah tanah itu di depan orang-orang yang duduk di sini dan di depan para tua-tua bangsa kita. Jika engkau mau menebusnya, tebuslah; tetapi jika engkau tidak mau menebusnya, beritahukanlah kepadaku, supaya aku tahu, sebab tidak ada orang yang dapat menebusnya kecuali engkau, dan sesudah engkau: aku." Lalu berkatalah ia: "Aku akan menebusnya."
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day that you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also take Ruth the Moabite woman, the widow of a dead man, in order to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”
Tetapi kata Boas: "Pada waktu engkau membeli tanah itu dari tangan Naomi, engkau memperoleh Rut juga, perempuan Moab, isteri orang yang telah mati itu, untuk menegakkan nama orang itu di atas milik pusakanya."
6 Then the near kinsman said, “I cannot redeem it for myself without damaging my own inheritance. You take my right of redemption for yourself, for I cannot redeem it.”
Lalu berkatalah penebus itu: "Jika demikian, aku ini tidak dapat menebusnya, sebab aku akan merusakkan milik pusakaku sendiri. Aku mengharap engkau menebus apa yang seharusnya aku tebus, sebab aku tidak dapat menebusnya."
7 Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning the redemption and exchange of goods. To confirm all things, a man took off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor; this was the manner of making legal agreements in Israel.
Beginilah kebiasaan dahulu di Israel dalam hal menebus dan menukar: setiap kali orang hendak menguatkan sesuatu perkara, maka yang seorang menanggalkan kasutnya sebelah dan memberikannya kepada yang lain. Demikianlah caranya orang mensahkan perkara di Israel.
8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” and he took off his sandal.
Lalu penebus itu berkata kepada Boas: "Engkau saja yang membelinya." Dan ditanggalkannyalah kasutnya.
9 Then Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today that I have bought all that was Elimelek's and all that was Kilion's and Mahlon's from the hand of Naomi.
Kemudian berkatalah Boas kepada para tua-tua dan kepada semua orang di situ: "Kamulah pada hari ini menjadi saksi, bahwa segala milik Elimelekh dan segala milik Kilyon dan Mahlon, aku beli dari tangan Naomi;
10 Also Ruth the Moabite woman, the wife of Mahlon, I have acquired to be my wife, in order that I might raise up the name of the dead man on his inheritance, so that his name will not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. Today you are witnesses!”
juga Rut, perempuan Moab itu, isteri Mahlon, aku peroleh menjadi isteriku untuk menegakkan nama orang yang telah mati itu di atas milik pusakanya. Demikianlah nama orang itu tidak akan lenyap dari antara saudara-saudaranya dan dari antara warga kota. Kamulah pada hari ini menjadi saksi."
11 All the people who were in the gate and the elders said, “We are witnesses. May Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built up the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be renowned in Bethlehem.
Dan seluruh orang banyak yang hadir di pintu gerbang, dan para tua-tua berkata: "Kamilah menjadi saksi. TUHAN kiranya membuat perempuan yang akan masuk ke rumahmu itu sama seperti Rahel dan Lea, yang keduanya telah membangunkan umat Israel. Biarlah engkau menjadi makmur di Efrata dan biarlah namamu termasyhur di Betlehem,
12 May your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, through the offspring that Yahweh will give you with this young woman.”
keturunanmu kiranya menjadi seperti keturunan Peres yang dilahirkan Tamar bagi Yehuda oleh karena anak-anak yang akan diberikan TUHAN kepadamu dari perempuan muda ini!"
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. He slept with her, and Yahweh allowed her to become pregnant, and she bore a son.
Lalu Boas mengambil Rut dan perempuan itu menjadi isterinya dan dihampirinyalah dia. Maka atas karunia TUHAN perempuan itu mengandung, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.
14 The women said to Naomi, “May Yahweh be blessed, who has not left you today without a near kinsman, this baby. May his name be famous in Israel.
Sebab itu perempuan-perempuan berkata kepada Naomi: "Terpujilah TUHAN, yang telah rela menolong engkau pada hari ini dengan seorang penebus. Termasyhurlah kiranya nama anak itu di Israel.
15 May he be for you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.”
Dan dialah yang akan menyegarkan jiwamu dan memelihara engkau pada waktu rambutmu telah putih; sebab menantumu yang mengasihi engkau telah melahirkannya, perempuan yang lebih berharga bagimu dari tujuh anak laki-laki."
16 Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and took care of him.
Dan Naomi mengambil anak itu serta meletakkannya pada pangkuannya dan dialah yang mengasuhnya.
17 The women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, who became the father of David.
Dan tetangga-tetangga perempuan memberi nama kepada anak itu, katanya: "Pada Naomi telah lahir seorang anak laki-laki"; lalu mereka menyebutkan namanya Obed. Dialah ayah Isai, ayah Daud.
18 Now these were the descendants of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
Inilah keturunan Peres: Peres memperanakkan Hezron,
19 Hezron became the father of Ram, Ram became the father of Amminadab,
Hezron memperanakkan Ram, Ram memperanakkan Aminadab,
20 Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
Aminadab memperanakkan Nahason, Nahason memperanakkan Salmon,
21 Salmon became the father of Boaz, Boaz became the father of Obed,
Salmon memperanakkan Boas, Boas memperanakkan Obed,
22 Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
Obed memperanakkan Isai dan Isai memperanakkan Daud.
