روت 4

۱ 1 و بوعز به دروازه آمده، آنجا نشست و اینک آن ولی که بوعز درباره او سخن گفته بود می‌گذشت، و به او گفت: «ای فلان! به اینجابرگشته، بنشین.» و او برگشته، نشست.

Then Boaz went up to the gate, and he sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman passing by, whom he had previously discussed, he spoke to him, calling him by his name, “Pause for a little while, and sit down here.” He turned aside and sat down.

۲ 2 و ده نفراز مشایخ شهر را برداشته، به ایشان گفت: «اینجابنشینید.» و ایشان نشستند.

But Boaz, calling aside ten men among the elders of the city, said to them, “Sit down here.”

۳ 3 و به آن ولی گفت: «نعومی که از بلاد موآب برگشته است قطعه زمینی را که از برادر ما الیملک بود، می‌فروشد.

They settled down, and he spoke to the kinsman, “Naomi, who has returned from the region of the Moabites, is selling part of a field of our brother Elimelech.

۴ 4 ومن مصلحت دیدم که تو را اطلاع داده، بگویم که آن را به حضور این مجلس و مشایخ قوم من بخر، پس اگر انفکاک می‌کنی، بکن، و اگر انفکاک نمی کنی مرا خبر بده تا بدانم، زیرا غیر از تو کسی نیست که انفکاک کند، و من بعد از تو هستم.» اوگفت: «من انفکاک می‌کنم.»

I wanted you to hear this, and to tell you in front of everyone sitting here, including the eldest of my people. If you will take possession of it by the right of kinship, buy it and possess it. But if it displeases you, you should reveal this to me, so that I will know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides you, who is before me, and I am after you.” But he answered, “I will buy the field.”

۵ 5 بوعز گفت: «درروزی که زمین را از دست نعومی می‌خری، ازروت موآبیه، زن متوفی نیز باید خرید، تا نام متوفی را بر میراثش برانگیزانی.»

And Boaz said to him, “When buying the field, you are likewise obliged to accept the hand of the woman Ruth, the Moabite, who was the wife of the deceased, so that you may raise up the name of your near kinsman through his posterity.”

۶ 6 آن ولی گفت: «نمی توانم برای خود انفکاک کنم مبادا میراث خود را فاسد کنم، پس تو حق انفکاک مرا بر ذمه خود بگیر زیرا نمی توانم انفکاک نمایم.»

He answered, “I yield my right of kinship, for I am obliged not to cut off the posterity of my own family. You may make use of my privilege, which I freely declare I will forego.”

۷ 7 و رسم انفکاک و مبادلت در ایام قدیم دراسرائیل به جهت اثبات هر امر این بود که شخص کفش خود را بیرون کرده، به همسایه خود می‌داد. و این در اسرائیل قانون شده است.

Yet it was the custom between kinsmen in this former time in Israel, that if at any time one yielded his right to another, so as to confirm his permission, the man took off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor. This was a testimony of concession in Israel.

۸ 8 پس آن ولی به بوعز گفت: «آن را برای خود بخر.» و کفش خود را بیرون کرد.

And so Boaz said to his kinsman, “Take off your shoe.” And immediately he released it from his foot.

۹ 9 و بوعز به مشایخ و به تمامی قوم گفت: «شما امروز شاهد باشید که تمامی مایملک الیملک و تمامی مایملک کلیون ومحلون را از دست نعومی خریدم.

And he said to the eldest and to all the people, “You are witnesses this day, that I have taken possession of all that belonged to Elimelech and Chilion and Mahlon, and was bequeathed to Naomi.

۱۰ 10 و هم روت موآبیه زن محلون را به زنی خود خریدم تا نام متوفی را بر میراثش برانگیزانم، و نام متوفی ازمیان برادرانش و از دروازه محله‌اش منقطع نشود، شما امروز شاهد باشید.»

And Ruth, the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, I have taken in marriage so as to raise up the name of the deceased in his posterity, so that his name will not be cut off from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.”

۱۱ 11 و تمامی قوم که نزد دروازه بودند و مشایخ گفتند: «شاهد هستیم و خداوند این زن را که به خانه تو درآمد، مثل راحیل و لیه گرداند که خانه اسرائیل را بنا کردند، و تو در افراته کامیاب شو، ودر بیت لحم نامور باش.

All the people who were at the gate, along with the eldest, answered, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who enters into your house, like Rachel, and Leah, who built up the house of Israel, so that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrathah, and so that her name may be honored in Bethlehem.

۱۲ 12 و خانه تو مثل خانه فارص باشد که تامار برای یهودا زایید، ازاولادی که خداوند تو را از این دختر، خواهدبخشید.»

And may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the Lord will give to you from this young woman.”

۱۳ 13 پس بوعز روت را گرفت و او زن وی شد وبه او درآمد و خداوند او را حمل داد که پسری زایید.

And so Boaz took Ruth, and received her as his wife, and he went in to her, and the Lord granted to her to conceive and bear a son.

۱۴ 14 و زنان به نعومی گفتند: «متبارک بادخداوند که تو را امروز بی‌ولی نگذاشته است و نام او در اسرائیل بلند شود.

And the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not permitted your family to be without a successor, and may his name be called upon in Israel.

۱۵ 15 و او برایت تازه کننده جان و پرورنده پیری تو باشد، زیرا که عروست که تو را دوست می‌دارد و برایت از هفت پسر بهتراست، او را زایید.»

And now you may have someone to comfort your soul and to care for you in old age, for he is born of your daughter-in-law, who loves you, and this is much better for you, than if you had seven sons.”

۱۶ 16 و نعومی پسر را گرفته، در آغوش خود گذاشت و دایه او شد.

And taking up the boy, Naomi placed him on her bosom, and she took on the duties of carrying him and nursing him.

۱۷ 17 و زنان همسایه‌اش، او را نام نهاده، گفتند برای نعومی پسری زاییده شد، و نام اورا عوبید خواندند و او پدر یسی پدر داوداست.

And the women of the near future were congratulating her and saying, “There was a son born to Naomi. They called his name Obed. Here is the father of Jesse, the father of David.”

۱۸ 18 این است پیدایش فارص: فارص حصرون را آورد؛

These are the generations of Perez: Perez conceived Hezron,

۱۹ 19 و حصرون، رام را آورد؛ و رام، عمیناداب را آورد؛

Hezron conceived Aram, Aram conceived Amminadab,

۲۰ 20 و عمیناداب نحشون راآورد؛ و نحشون سلمون را آورد؛

Amminadab conceived Nahshon, Nahshon conceived Salmon,

۲۱ 21 و سلمون بوعز را آورد؛ و بوعز عوبید را آورد؛

Salmon conceived Boaz, Boaz conceived Obed,

۲۲ 22 و عوبیدیسی را آورد؛ و یسی داود را آورد.

Obed conceived Jesse, Jesse conceived David.
