1 Un Boas gāja vārtos un tur apsēdās, un redzi, tas tuvinieks gāja garām, no kā Boas bija runājis. Tad viņš sacīja: nāc, brāl, apsēdies še. Un tas nāca un apsēdās.
And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated.
2 Un viņš ņēma desmit vīrus no pilsētas vecajiem un sacīja: apsēžaties šeitan, un tie apsēdās.
Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats.
3 Tad viņš uz to tuvinieku sacīja: to tīruma gabalu, kas mūsu brālim Elimelekam piederēja, Naēmja, kas no Moaba zemes atnākusi, grib pārdot.
Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's:
4 Un es apņēmos to tev sacīt, proti: pērc viņu to iedzīvotāju un manu ļaužu vecaju priekšā. Ja tu to gribi pirkt, tad pērc, bet ja tu nepirksi, tad saki man, ka es to zinu, jo cita nav, kam nākas to pirkt, bez manis un tevis. Tad tas sacīja: es pirkšu.
And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.
5 Un Boas sacīja: tai dienā kad tu to tīrumu no Naēmjas pērc, tad tev arī Ruti, to Moabieti, tā nomirušā sievu, būs precēt, un celt tā nomirušā vārdu par viņa zemes daļu.
Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.
6 Tad tas tuvinieks sacīja: es nevaru to priekš sevis pirkt, lai savu paša mantību nemaitāju; pērc tu, kas man nākas pirkt, jo es to nevaru atpirkt.
And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation's part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.
7 Nu tas vecos laikos bija tiesa iekš Israēla pie pirkšanas un pie mīšanas, apstiprināt ikkatru līgumu: vīrs novilka savu kurpi un to deva savam tuvākam, un tas bija par liecību iekš Israēla.
Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.
8 Tad šis tuvinieks sacīja uz Boasu: pērc tu priekš sevis! Un novilka savu kurpi.
So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.
9 Un Boas sacīja uz tiem vecajiem un uz visiem ļaudīm: jūs šodien esat liecinieki, ka no Naēmjas rokas visu esmu pircis, kas Elimelekam, un visu, kas Ķiljonam un Mālonam piederēja.
Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.
10 Un arī Ruti, to Moabieti, Mālona sievu, es sev precēšu par sievu, un celšu tā nomirušā vārdu par viņa zemes daļu, ka tā nomirušā vārds netop izdeldēts no viņa brāļiem un no viņa pilsētas vārtiem, - jūs esat šodien liecinieki.
And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day.
11 Tad visi ļaudis, kas bija vārtos, līdz ar tiem vecajiem sacīja: mēs esam liecinieki. Lai Tas Kungs šo sievu, kas nāk tavā namā, dara kā Rahēli un Leū, kas abas Israēla namu vairojušas, un lai tevi stiprina Efratā un tev dara slavu Bētlemē.
And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;
12 Un tavs nams lai ir, kā Pereca nams, ko Tamāre Jūdam dzemdējusi, no tā dzimuma, ko Tas Kungs tev dos no šīs jaunās sievas.
May your family be like the family of Perez, the son whom Tamar gave to Judah, from the offspring which the Lord may give you by this young woman.
13 Tad Boas ņēma Ruti, un tā viņam bija par sievu, un viņš pie tās gāja, un Tas Kungs viņai deva, ka tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu.
So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.
14 Tad tās sievas sacīja uz Naēmju: svētīts lai ir Tas Kungs, kas tev neliek trūkt tuvinieka šodien; un Viņa Vārds lai top slavēts iekš Israēla!
And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.
15 Un tas tev būs par dvēseles atspirdzinātāju un par kopēju vecumā, jo tava vedekla, ko tu mīļo, viņu dzemdējusi, kas tev ir labāka, nekā septiņi dēli.
He will be a giver of new life to you, and your comforter when you are old, for your daughter-in-law, who, in her love for you, is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.
16 Un Naēmja ņēma to bērniņu un lika to savā klēpī un bija viņa aukle.
And Naomi took the child and put her arms round it, and she took care of it.
17 Un kaimiņienes viņam deva vārdu sacīdamas: Naēmjai dēls dzimis, un tie nosauca viņa vārdu Obedu, šis ir Isajus Dāvida tēva, tēvs:
And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Šie nu ir Pereca dzimumi:
Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;
19 Perecs dzemdināja Hecronu, un Hecrons dzemdināja Ramu, un Rams dzemdināja Aminadabu,
And Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab;
20 Un Aminadabs dzemdināja Nahšonu, un Nahšons dzemdināja Zalmu,
And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;
21 Un Zalmus dzemdināja Boasu, un Boas dzemdināja Obedu,
And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;
22 Un Obeds dzemdināja Isaju, un Isajus dzemdināja Dāvidu.
And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
