Ruth 4
1 Then Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there: and behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Ascendit ergo Booz ad portam, et sedit ibi. Cumque vidisset propinquum praeterire, de quo prius sermo habitus est, dixit ad eum: Declina paulisper, et sede hic: vocans eum nomine suo. Qui divertit, et sedit.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
Tollens autem Booz decem viros de senioribus civitatis, dixit ad eos: Sedete hic.
3 And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, that has come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which [was] our brother Elimelech's:
Quibus sedentibus, locutus est ad propinquum: Partem agri fratris nostri Elimelech vendet Noemi, quae reversa est de regione Moabitide:
4 And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy [it] before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem [it], redeem [it]: but if thou wilt not redeem [it], [then] tell me, that I may know: for [there is] none to redeem [it] besides thee; and I [am] after thee. And he said, I will redeem [it].
quod audire te volui, et tibi dicere coram cunctis sedentibus, et maioribus natu de populo meo. Si vis possidere iure propinquitatis: eme, et posside. Sin autem displicet tibi, hoc ipsum indica mihi, ut sciam quid facere debeam. nullus enim est propinquus, excepto te, qui prior es: et me, qui secundus sum. At ille respondit: Ego agrum emam.
5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
Cui dixit Booz: Quando emeris agrum de manu mulieris, Ruth quoque Moabitidem, quae uxor defuncti fuit, debes accipere: ut suscites nomen propinqui tui in hereditate sua.
6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem [it].
Qui respondit: Cedo iuri propinquitatis: neque enim posteritatem familiae meae delere debeo. tu meo utere privilegio, quo me libenter carere profiteor.
7 Now this [was the manner] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for confirming all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave [it] to his neighbor: and this [was] a testimony in Israel.
Hic autem erat mos antiquitus in Israel inter propinquos, ut si quando alter alteri suo iuri cedebat: ut esset firma concessio, solvebat homo calceamentum suum, et dabat proximo suo. hoc erat testimonium cessionis in Israel.
8 Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy [it] for thyself. So he drew off his shoe.
Dixit ergo propinquo suo Booz: Tolle calceamentum tuum. Quod statim solvit de pede suo.
9 And Boaz said to the elders, and [to] all the people, Ye [are] witnesses this day, that I have bought all that [was] Elimelech's, and all that [was] Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
At ille maioribus natu, et universo populo, Testes vos, inquit, estis hodie, quod possederim omnis quae fuerunt Elimelech; et Chelion, et Mahalon, tradente Noemi:
10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye [are] witnesses this day.
et Ruth Moabitidem, uxorem Mahalon, in coniugium sumpserim, ut suscitem nomen defuncti in hereditate sua, ne vocabulum eius de familia sua ac fratribus et populo deleatur. Vos, inquam, huius rei testes estis.
11 And all the people that [were] in the gate, and the elders said, [We are] witnesses. The LORD make the woman that hath come into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:
Respondit omnis populus, qui erat in porta, et maiores natu: Nos testes sumus: faciat Dominus hanc mulierem, quae ingreditur domum tuam, sicut Rachel, et Liam, quae aedificaverunt domum Israel: ut sit exemplum virtutis in Ephratha, et habeat celebre nomen in Bethlehem:
12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
fiatque domus tua, sicut domus Phares, quem Thamar peperit Iudae, de semine quod tibi dederit Dominus ex hac puella.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in to her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.
Tulit itaque Booz Ruth, et accepit uxorem: ingressusque est ad eam, et dedit illi Dominus ut conciperet, et pareret filium.
14 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
Dixeruntque mulieres ad Noemi: Benedictus Dominus, qui non est passus ut deficeret successor familiae tuae, et vocaretur nomen eius in Israel.
15 And he shall be to thee a restorer of [thy] life, and a nourisher of thy old age: for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.
Et habeas qui consoletur animam tuam, et enutriat senectutem. de nuru enim tua natus est, qui te diliget: et multo tibi melior est, quam si septem haberes filios.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became its nurse.
Susceptumque Noemi puerum posuit in sinu suo, et nutricis ac gerulae fungebatur officio.
17 And the women, her neighbors, gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he [is] the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Vicinae autem mulieris congratulantes ei, et dicentes: Natus est filius Noemi: vocaverunt nomen eius Obed: hic est pater Isai, patris David.
18 Now these [are] the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Hae sunt generationes Phares: Phares genuit Esron,
19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
Esron genuit Aram, Aram genuit Aminadab,
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Aminadab genuit Nahasson, Nahasson genuit Salmon,
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Salmon genuit Booz, Booz genuit Obed,
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Obed genuit Isai, Isai genuit David.
