Rut 4
1 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.
Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. Look, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, "Come over here, friend, and sit down." He turned aside, and sat down.
2 Kemudian dipilihnyalah sepuluh orang dari para tua-tua kota itu, dan berkata: "Duduklah kamu di sini." Maka duduklah mereka.
He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here." They sat down.
3 Lalu berkatalah ia kepada penebus itu: "Tanah milik kepunyaan saudara kita Elimelekh hendak dijual oleh Naomi, yang telah pulang dari daerah Moab.
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.
4 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."
I thought to disclose it to 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."
5 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."
Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi and from Ruth the Moabitess, you must also acquire the widow of the deceased, to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance."
6 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."
The near kinsman said, "I can't redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can't redeem it."
7 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.
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 attestation in Israel.
8 Lalu penebus itu berkata kepada Boas: "Engkau saja yang membelinya." Dan ditanggalkannyalah kasutnya.
So the near kinsman said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." And he took off his sandal and gave it to him.
9 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;
Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, "You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Kilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.
10 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."
Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, that the name of the deceased may not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses this day."
11 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,
All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
12 keturunanmu kiranya menjadi seperti keturunan Peres yang dilahirkan Tamar bagi Yehuda oleh karena anak-anak yang akan diberikan TUHAN kepadamu dari perempuan muda ini!"
Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which the LORD shall give you of this young woman."
13 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.
So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.
14 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.
The women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a redeemer; and let his name be famous in Israel.
15 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."
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 borne him."
16 Dan Naomi mengambil anak itu serta meletakkannya pada pangkuannya dan dialah yang mengasuhnya.
Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and looked after him.
17 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.
The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi." And they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Inilah keturunan Peres: Peres memperanakkan Hezron,
Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
19 Hezron memperanakkan Ram, Ram memperanakkan Aminadab,
and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
20 Aminadab memperanakkan Nahason, Nahason memperanakkan Salmon,
and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
21 Salmon memperanakkan Boas, Boas memperanakkan Obed,
and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
22 Obed memperanakkan Isai dan Isai memperanakkan Daud.
and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
