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 ।
Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, and sat down.
2 अनि बोअजले त्यस शहरका दश जना धर्मगुरुहरूलाई लिए र भने, “यहाँ बस्नुहोस् ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू बसे ।
Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here,” and they sat down.
3 बोअजले नजिकका कुटुम्बलाई भने, “मोआब देशबाट फर्केर आएकी नाओमीले हाम्रो दाज्यू एलीमेलेकको जग्गाको टुक्रा बेच्दैछिन् ।
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 '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 thought I should tell 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 त्यसपछि बोअजले भने, “तपाईंले नाओमीबाट जग्गा किनेको दिनमा नै मृतकको उत्तराधिकारको नाउँलाई उठाउनको निम्ति मृत मानिसको विधवा मोआबी रूथलाई पनि लानुपर्छ ।”
Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”
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 ।”
The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I endanger my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t redeem it.”
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 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 neighbour; and this was the way of formalizing transactions in Israel.
8 त्यसैले नजिकको कुटुम्बले बोअजलाई भने, “यो तपाईं आफैले किन्नुहोस्,” र तिनले आफ्नो जुत्ता फुकाले ।
So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” then he took off his sandal.
9 त्यसपछि बोअजले धर्मगुरुहरू र सबै मानिसहरूलाई भने, “मैले एलीमेलेकको, किल्योन र महलोनको सबै थोक मैले आज किनेँ भन्ने कुराको साक्षी तपाईंहरू हुनुहुन्छ ।”
Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.
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 ।”
Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from amongst his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses 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 ।
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 both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
12 परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई दिनुहुने यो महिलाद्धारा तपाईंको घर फारेसको घरानाजस्तै होस्, जसलाई यहूदाको निम्ति तामारले जन्माएकी थिइन् ।
Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the LORD will give you by this young woman.”
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 ।
So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she bore 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 said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let his name be famous in 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 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 given birth to him.”
16 नाओमीले बालकलाई लिइन्, आफ्नो काखमा राखिन् र तिनको हेरचाह गरिन् ।
Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and became nurse to him.
17 छिमेकका महिलाहरूले तिनलाई यसो भने, “नाओमीको एउटा छोरा भयो । तिनहरूले त्यसको नाउँ ओबेद राखे । तिनी यिशैको बुबा भए, जो दाऊदको बुबा भए ।
The women, her neighbours, gave him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi”. They named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 फारेसका सन्तानहरू यिनै हुन्ः फारेस हेस्रोनका बुबा बने,
Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
19 हेस्रोन आरामका बुबा बने, आराम अम्मीनादाबको बुबा बने,
and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
20 अम्मीनादाब नहशोनका बुबा बने, नहशोन सल्मोनको बुबा बने,
and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
21 सल्मोन बोअजका बुबा बने, बोअज ओबेदको बुबा बने,
and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
22 ओबेद यिशैका बुबा बने र यिशै दाऊदको बुबा बने ।
and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
