< Rutes 4 >

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.
Now, Boaz, went up to the gate, and sat him down there, and lo! the kinsman, passing by, of whom Boaz had spoken, so he said—Turn aside! and sit down here, such a one! And he turned aside, and sat down.
2 Un viņš ņēma desmit vīrus no pilsētas vecajiem un sacīja: apsēžaties šeitan, un tie apsēdās.
Then fetched he ten men of the elders of the city, and said—Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
3 Tad viņš uz to tuvinieku sacīja: to tīruma gabalu, kas mūsu brālim Elimelekam piederēja, Naēmja, kas no Moaba zemes atnākusi, grib pārdot.
Then said he to the kinsman, The parcel of land that was our brother Elimelech’s, is to be disposed of by Naomi, who hath returned out of the country of Moab;
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, I, thought, I would unveil thine ear, saying—Take it over in presence of such as are here seated, and in presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt act as kinsman, act as kinsman, but, if thou wilt not so act, only tell me—that I may know, for there is none who can set thee aside as kinsman, but, I, am after thee. And he said, I, will act as kinsman.
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 said Boaz, What day thou takest over the land from the hand of Naomi, also, of Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, dost thou take [it], to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
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.
Then said the kinsman—I cannot act as kinsman for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance, —do, thou, for thyself act as kinsman in my right, for I cannot so redeem.
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, this aforetime, [was the way] in Israel, at a redeeming, and at an exchanging, to confirm every word: A man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour, —yea, this, was the way of taking to witness, in Israel.
8 Tad šis tuvinieks sacīja uz Boasu: pērc tu priekš sevis! Un novilka savu kurpi.
So the kinsman said unto Boaz, Take it over for thyself, —and he drew 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 said Boaz to the elders, and all the people—Witnesses, are ye to-day, that I have taken over all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s, and Mahlon’s, —from the hand of Naomi:
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.
Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, have I taken over, 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 dwelling- place, —Witnesses, are ye to-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.
Then said all the people who were in the gate, and the elders—Witnesses!, —Yahweh grant the woman who is coming into thy house, to be as Rachel, and as Leah, which two of them did build the house of Israel. Do thou bravely, then, in Ephrathah, and proclaim thou a name in Bethlehem,
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.
And let thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bare to Judah, —of the seed which—may Yahweh give thee, of 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 unto her, —and Yahweh granted her conception, and she bare 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!
Then said the women unto Naomi, Blessed, be Yahweh! who hath not let thee fail of a kinsman to-day, —and may his name, be proclaimed, 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.
So shall he become a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age, —for, thy daughter-in-law who loveth thee, hath borne him, even, she, who is better to thee than seven sons.
16 Un Naēmja ņēma to bērniņu un lika to savā klēpī un bija viņa aukle.
So Naomi took the boy, and laid him in her bosom, and she became his nurse.
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, her neighbours, gave him a name, saying, There is born a son to Naomi, —So they called his name Obed, he, was, the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Šie nu ir Pereca dzimumi:
These, then, are the generations of Perez: Perez, begat, Hezron;
19 Perecs dzemdināja Hecronu, un Hecrons dzemdināja Ramu, un Rams dzemdināja Aminadabu,
And, Hezron, begat, Ram, and, Ram, begat, Amminadab;
20 Un Aminadabs dzemdināja Nahšonu, un Nahšons dzemdināja Zalmu,
And, Amminadab, begat Nahshon, and, Nahshon, begat, Salmon,
21 Un Zalmus dzemdināja Boasu, un Boas dzemdināja Obedu,
And, Salmon, begat, Boaz, and, Boaz, begat, Obed;
22 Un Obeds dzemdināja Isaju, un Isajus dzemdināja Dāvidu.
And, Obed, begat, Jesse, and, Jesse, begat, David.
