< 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.
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 Then Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city and said, “Sit down here.” So they sat down.
Потом узе Воз десет људи између старешина градских и рече: Поседајте овде. И поседаше.
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.
Тада рече оном осветнику: Њиву која је била брата нашег Елимелеха продала је Нојемина, која се вратила из земље моавске.
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.”
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” and he took off his sandal.
Кад дакле онај осветник рече Возу: Узми ти, изу обућу своју.
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.
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 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!”
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 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.
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 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.”
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, and she became his wife. He slept with her, and Yahweh allowed her to become pregnant, and she bore 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 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.
И рекоше жене Нојемини: Да је благословен Господ који те није оставио данас без осветника, да се име Његово слави у Израиљу!
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.”
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 Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and took care of him.
И узе Нојемина дете, и метну га на крило своје, и беше му дадиља.
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.
И суседе наденуше му име говорећи: Роди се син Нојемини, и прозваше га Овид. Он би отац Јесеја, оца Давидовог.
18 Now these were the descendants of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
А ово је племе Фаресово: Фарес роди Есрома;
19 Hezron became the father of Ram, Ram became the father of Amminadab,
А Есром роди Арама; а Арам роди Аминадава;
20 Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
А Аминадав роди Насона; а Насон роди Салмона;
21 Salmon became the father of Boaz, Boaz became the father of Obed,
А Салмон роди Воза; а Воз роди Овида;
22 Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
А Овид роди Јесеја; а Јесеј роди Давида.
