< Ruth 4 >
1 Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He 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 Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here,” and they sat down.
Потом узе Воз десет људи између старешина градских и рече: Поседајте овде. И поседаше.
3 He said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s.
Тада рече оном осветнику: Њиву која је била брата нашег Елимелеха продала је Нојемина, која се вратила из земље моавске.
4 I thought I should tell you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.” He 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 you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, 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 The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I endanger my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t 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 time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of formalizing transactions 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,” then he took off his sandal.
Кад дакле онај осветник рече Возу: Узми ти, изу обућу своју.
9 Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’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 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”
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 like Leah, which both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous 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 Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which Yahweh will give you by 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; and he went in to her, and Yahweh enabled her to conceive, 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, “Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let 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 He shall be to you a restorer of life and sustain you in your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to 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 became nurse to him.
И узе Нојемина дете, и метну га на крило своје, и беше му дадиља.
17 The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi”. They named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, 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 this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
А ово је племе Фаресово: Фарес роди Есрома;
19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
А Есром роди Арама; а Арам роди Аминадава;
20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
А Аминадав роди Насона; а Насон роди Салмона;
21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
А Салмон роди Воза; а Воз роди Овида;
22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
А Овид роди Јесеја; а Јесеј роди Давида.
