रूथ 4
1 १ आता बवाज वेशीत जाऊन बसला; इतक्यात बवाज ज्या जवळच्या नातलगाबद्दल बोलला होता तोसुद्धा तेथे आला, तेव्हा हा त्यास म्हणाला, “मित्रा, येथे येऊन बस.” तेव्हा तो तेथे जाऊन बसला.
[Meanwhile], Boaz went up to the town gate and sat there. [That was the place where people met together to decide important matters]. When the man that Boaz had mentioned came there, the close relative of Ruth and Naomi’s dead husbands [who had a responsibility to take care of Naomi and Ruth], Boaz said to him, “My friend, come over here and sit down.” So the man went and sat down.
Boaz then gathered ten of the elders of the town and asked them to sit down [there also]. After they sat down,
3 ३ मग तो त्या जवळच्या नातलगाला म्हणाला, “मवाब देशातून नामी आली आहे; ती तुझा माझा बंधू अलीमलेख याच्या शेताचा भाग विकत आहे,
he said to the man who had the responsibility to take care of Naomi, “Naomi has returned from Moab [region]. She wants to sell the field that belonged to our relative Elimelech.
4 ४ आणि तुला हे कळवावे व येथे या बसलेल्यांसमोर आणि माझ्या वडीलजनांसमोर तू तो विकत घ्यावा. तो जर खंडणी भरून सोडवशील तर मला सांग, म्हणजे मला कळेल, कारण खंडून घेण्यास तुझ्याशिवाय कोणी नाही, तुझ्यानंतर मी आहे.” तो म्हणाला, “मी खंडून घेईन.”
I thought that I should tell you about that, and suggest that you buy it, while these elders who are sitting here are listening. If you are willing to buy the property, do that. But if you do not want to buy it, tell me, so that I will know. I am suggesting this to you because you are the one who has the first right to buy it, and I am the one who has the second/next right to buy it.” The man replied, “I will buy it!”
5 ५ मग बवाज म्हणाला, “ज्या दिवशी ते शेत नामीच्या हातून विकत घेशील त्या दिवशी मृताची पत्नी मवाबी रूथ हिच्याकडूनही तुला ते विकत घ्यावे लागेल, ते अशासाठी की मृताचे नाव त्याच्या वतनाला चालावे.”
Then Boaz told him, “When you buy the land from Naomi, you will also be taking Ruth, [the woman] who is from Moab, [to be your wife], in order that she may [give birth to a son who will] inherit the property of her dead husband [MTY].”
6 ६ तेव्हा तो जवळचा नातलग म्हणाला, “माझ्याच्याने ते वतन खंडणी भरून सोडवता येत नाही; सोडवले तर माझ्या वतनाचे माझ्याकडून नुकसान होईल, म्हणून माझा खंडून घेण्याचा अधिकार तू घे.”
Then the close relative [of Ruth’s dead husband] said, “[If that is so], I do not [want to] buy the field, because then my own [children] would not inherit the property; [Ruth’s children would inherit it]. You buy the property!”
7 ७ वतन खंडणी भरून सोडविण्याची व त्याची अदलाबदल करून करार पक्के करण्याची पूर्वी इस्राएलात अशी पद्धत होती की मनुष्य आपल्या चपला काढून दुसऱ्याला देत असे.
At that time, it was the custom in Israel, when a person bought property that belonged to another person, that the man who was selling the property would take off one of his sandals and give it to the one who was buying the property. That was the way they finalized sales in Israel.
So that close relative said to Boaz, “You buy the field yourself!” And he took off [one of] his sandals [and gave it to Boaz].
9 ९ बवाज त्या वडीलजनांना व सर्व लोकांस म्हणाला, “आज तुम्ही साक्षी आहात की जे काही अलीमलेखाचे आणि खिल्लोन व महलोन यांचे होते ते सर्व मी नामीच्या हातून घेतले आहे.
Then Boaz said to the elders and all the [other] people [who were there], “Today you have all seen that I have bought from Naomi all the property that belonged to [her dead husband] Elimelech and [his dead sons] Mahlon and Chilion.
10 १० याखेरीज महलोनाची स्त्री मवाबी रूथ माझी पत्नी म्हणून मी तिचा स्वीकार करतो; ते यासाठी की मृताचे नाव त्याच्या वतनात कायम रहावे, मृताचे नाव त्याच्या भाऊबंदातून व गावच्या वेशीतून नष्ट होऊ नये, आज तुम्ही याविषयी साक्षी आहात.”
I am also taking Ruth, [the woman] from Moab, Mahlon’s widow, to be my wife, in order that she may give birth to a son who will inherit the property of the dead man. In that way, Elimelech’s name will continue [LIT] among the members of his family and among all the people of this town. Today you all are witnesses [of what I have done].”
11 ११ तेव्हा वेशीतील सर्व लोक व वडील जन म्हणाले, “आम्ही साक्षी आहो, ही जी स्त्री तुझ्या घरी येत आहे तिचे परमेश्वर इस्राएल घराण्याची स्थापना करणाऱ्या राहेल आणि लेआ ह्यांच्याप्रमाणे करो; एफ्राथा येथे भरभराट आणि बेथलहेमात कीर्ती होवो.
All the elders and the [others] who were sitting at the [town] gate [agreed, and one of them] said, “[Yes, ] we are witnesses. We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable this woman, who will be coming into your home, to give birth to many children, as Rachel and Leah did. They are the women from whom all [us] people [MTY] of Israel are descended. We hope that you will become rich in the clan of Ephratah, and become famous [MTY] [here] in Bethlehem.
12 १२ आणि तामारेच्या पोटी यहूदापासून झालेल्या पेरेसाच्या घराण्यासारखे तुझे घराणे या नववधूच्या पोटी परमेश्वर जे संतान देईल त्याच्याद्वारे होवो.”
We hope/desire that Yahweh will enable you and this young woman to have many descendants. And we hope/desire that your family will be as important as the family of your ancestor Perez, the son of Judah and Tamar.”
13 १३ मग बवाजाने रूथशी लग्न केले व ती त्याची पत्नी झाली. तो तिच्यापाशी गेला तेव्हा परमेश्वराच्या दयेने तिच्या पोटी गर्भ राहून तिला पुत्र झाला.
So Boaz took Ruth [home], and she became his wife. He (slept with/had sexual relations with) her [EUP] and Yahweh enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
14 १४ तेव्हा तेथील स्त्रिया नामीला म्हणाल्या, “परमेश्वर धन्यवादित असो, कारण त्याने तुला जवळच्या नातलगाशिवाय राहू दिले नाही, त्याचे नाव इस्राएलात प्रसिद्ध होवो.
The women [of Bethlehem] said to Naomi, “Praise Yahweh! Now he has given [LIT] you a grandson who will be the one who will have the responsibility to take care of you. We hope that he will become famous [MTY] throughout Israel.
15 १५ तो तुला पुन्हा जीवन देणारा व वृद्धापकाळी सांभाळणारा असा होईल, कारण जी सून तुझ्यावर प्रीती करते, जी सात मुलांपेक्षा तुला अधिक आहे, तिला तो झाला आहे.”
He will make you feel young again, and he will take care of you when you become old. Your daughter-in-law, who loves you, has given birth to a son, who will (be better to/do more for) you than [if you had] seven sons [of your own].”
Then Naomi took the baby and put him on her lap, and took care of him.
17 १७ “नामीला पुत्र झाला” असे म्हणून शेजारणींनी त्याचे नाव ओबेद ठेवले. तो इशायाचा पिता व दावीदाचा आजोबा झाला.
The women who were living near her said, “[It is as though] Naomi [now] has a son!” And they named him Obed. [Later], Obed became the father of Jesse, and [later] Jesse became the father of [King] David.
Here is [a list of] the ancestors of [King David]: Perez’s son was Hezron. Hezron’s son was Ram. Ram’s son was Amminadab. Amminadab’s son was Nahshon. Nahshon’s son was Salmon. Salmon’s son was Boaz. Boaz’s son was Obed. Obed’s son was Jesse. Jesse’s son was [King] David.
