रूथ 4
1 बोअज माथि प्रवेशद्धारमा गए र त्यहाँ बसे । चाँडै नै बोअजले भनेका, नजिकका कुटुम्ब आए । बोअजले तिनलाई भने, “हे मेरा मित्र, यहाँ आउनुहोस् र बस्नुहोस् ।” त्यो मानिस आए र बसे ।
Boaz went to the town gate, and sat down there. The family redeemer that Boaz had mentioned happened to pass by, so Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down.” The man came over and sat down.
2 अनि बोअजले त्यस शहरका दश जना धर्मगुरुहरूलाई लिए र भने, “यहाँ बस्नुहोस् ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू बसे ।
Then Boaz selected ten of the town elders and asked them to sit there with them.
3 बोअजले नजिकका कुटुम्बलाई भने, “मोआब देशबाट फर्केर आएकी नाओमीले हाम्रो दाज्यू एलीमेलेकको जग्गाको टुक्रा बेच्दैछिन् ।
Boaz said to the family redeemer, “Naomi who has returned from the country of Moab is selling the piece of land that belonged to Elimelech, our relative.
4 'यहाँ बसिरहेकाहरूको उपस्थितिमा र मेरा मानिसहरूको धर्मगुरुहरूको उपस्थितिमा यसलाई किन्नुहोस्' भनी तपाईंलाई जानकारी दिने मैले विचार गरेँ । यदि तपाईंले यसलाई छुट्टाउन चाहनुहुन्छ भने, छुट्टाउनु होस्, ताकी मैले जान्न सकुँ, किनभने तपाईं र तपाईंपछि मबाहेक यसलाई छुट्टाउने कोही छैन ।” अर्को मानिसले भने, “म यसलाई छुट्टाउँछु ।”
I decided I should tell you in case you want to buy it here in the presence of these elders of the people. If you want to redeem it, then go ahead. But it you don't, then tell me so I'll know, because you are first in line to redeem it, and I'm next.” “I want to redeem it,” said the family redeemer.
5 त्यसपछि बोअजले भने, “तपाईंले नाओमीबाट जग्गा किनेको दिनमा नै मृतकको उत्तराधिकारको नाउँलाई उठाउनको निम्ति मृत मानिसको विधवा मोआबी रूथलाई पनि लानुपर्छ ।”
“When you buy the land from Naomi you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon's widow, so you can marry her and have children with her to ensure the man's line continues,” Boaz explained.
6 अनि नजिकका कुटम्बले भने, “आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारलाई हानि नगरी मैले यो आफ्नो निम्ति छुट्टाउन सक्दिनँ । तपाईंले नै मेरो छुटकाराको अधिकार लिनुहोस्, किनभने मैले छुट्टाउन सक्दिनँ ।”
“Well, I can't do it then,” the family redeemer replied. “If I were to redeem it, that could jeopardize what I already own. You redeem it for yourself, because I can't.”
7 छुट्कारा र मालसामानको सट्टापट्टा सम्बन्धि इस्राएलको पहिलेको समयमा यस्तो चलन थियो । यी सबै कुराहरूको पुष्टि गर्न एक जनाले आफ्नो जुत्ता फुकाल्थ्यो र त्यो आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई दिन्थ्यो; यो नै इस्राएलमा वैधानिक सम्झौता गर्ने शैली थियो ।
(Now during those times it was the custom in Israel to confirm the action of family redeemer, property transfer, or any similar legal matter by removing a sandal and handing it over. This was the way of validating a transaction in Israel.)
8 त्यसैले नजिकको कुटुम्बले बोअजलाई भने, “यो तपाईं आफैले किन्नुहोस्,” र तिनले आफ्नो जुत्ता फुकाले ।
So the family redeemer took off his sandal and told Boaz, “You buy it.”
9 त्यसपछि बोअजले धर्मगुरुहरू र सबै मानिसहरूलाई भने, “मैले एलीमेलेकको, किल्योन र महलोनको सबै थोक मैले आज किनेँ भन्ने कुराको साक्षी तपाईंहरू हुनुहुन्छ ।”
Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people present, “You are witnesses that today I have bought from Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech, Mahlon, and Chilion.
10 साथै त्यसको उत्तराधिकारमा मृत मानिसको नाउँलाई मैले उठाउन सकूँ भनी महलोनकी पत्नी मोआबी महिला रूथलाई मैले मेरी पत्नीको रूपमा प्राप्त गरेको छु, ताकि त्यसको नाउँ आफ्ना दाज्यूभाइहरु माझबाट र त्यसको ठाउँको प्रवेशद्धारबाट नहराओस् । आज तपाईंहरू साक्षी हुनुहुन्छ ।”
I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon's widow, as my wife. By having children who may inherit his property his name will be kept alive in his family and in his home town. You are witnesses of this today.”
11 प्रवेशद्धारमा भएका सबै मानिसहरू र धर्मगुरुहरूले भने, “हामी साक्षीहरू छौँ । परमप्रभुले तपाईंको घरमा आउने महिलालाई इस्राएलको घराना निर्माण गर्ने दुई जना राहेल र लेआजस्तै तुल्याउनुभएको होस्; र तपाईं एप्रातामा फलिफाप हुनुहोस् र बेथलेहेममा प्रसिद्ध हुनुहोस् ।
The elders and all the people present at the town gate said, “Yes, we are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah who between them gave birth to the people of Israel. May you become prosperous in Ephrathah, and famous in Bethlehem.
12 परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई दिनुहुने यो महिलाद्धारा तपाईंको घर फारेसको घरानाजस्तै होस्, जसलाई यहूदाको निम्ति तामारले जन्माएकी थिइन् ।
May your descendants the Lord gives you through this young woman become like the descendants of Perez, the son Tamar bore to Judah.”
13 त्यसैले बोअजले रूथलाई लगे र तिनी तिनकी पत्नी भइन् । तिनले तिनीसँग सहवास गरे र परमप्रभुले तिनलाई गर्भवती हुन दिनुभयो र तिनले एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् ।
Boaz took Ruth home, and she became his wife. He slept with her, and the Lord arranged for her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
14 महिलाहरूले नाओमीलाई भने, “परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा होस् जसले तपाईंलाई नजिकको कुटुम्बविहीन अर्थात् यो बालकविहीन छोड्नुभएन । उहाँको त्यसको नाउँ इस्राएलमा प्रसिद्ध होस् ।
The women of the town came to Naomi and said, “Praise the Lord, for today he didn't leave you without a family redeemer by giving you this grandson—may he become famous throughout Israel.
15 त्यो तपाईंलाई नयाँ जीवन दिने र र तपाईंको पालनपोषण गर्ने हुन सकोस्, किनकि तपाईंकी बुहारी जसलाई तपाईंले प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ, तिनी सात जना छोराहरूभन्दा पनि असल छिन्, तिनले यिनलाई जन्म दिएकी छिन् ।
He will give you a new lease of life and provide for you in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better than seven sons to you, has given birth to him.”
16 नाओमीले बालकलाई लिइन्, आफ्नो काखमा राखिन् र तिनको हेरचाह गरिन् ।
Naomi picked up the child and hugged him. She looked after him like her own son.
17 छिमेकका महिलाहरूले तिनलाई यसो भने, “नाओमीको एउटा छोरा भयो । तिनहरूले त्यसको नाउँ ओबेद राखे । तिनी यिशैको बुबा भए, जो दाऊदको बुबा भए ।
The neighbor women named him Obed, saying “Naomi now has a son!” He was the father of Jesse who was the father of David.
18 फारेसका सन्तानहरू यिनै हुन्ः फारेस हेस्रोनका बुबा बने,
This is the family line of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron.
19 हेस्रोन आरामका बुबा बने, आराम अम्मीनादाबको बुबा बने,
Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab.
20 अम्मीनादाब नहशोनका बुबा बने, नहशोन सल्मोनको बुबा बने,
Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
21 सल्मोन बोअजका बुबा बने, बोअज ओबेदको बुबा बने,
Salmon was the father of Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed.
22 ओबेद यिशैका बुबा बने र यिशै दाऊदको बुबा बने ।
Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David.
