Rute 4
1 E Boaz subiu á porta, e assentou-se ali: e eis que o remidor de que Boaz tinha fallado ia passando, e disse-lhe: Ó fulano, desvia-te para cá, assenta-te aqui. E desviou-se para ali, e assentou-se.
And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated.
2 Então tomou dez homens dos anciãos da cidade, e disse: Assentae-vos aqui. E assentaram-se.
Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats.
3 Então disse ao remidor: Aquella parte da terra que foi de Elimelech, nosso irmão, Noemi, que tornou da terra dos moabitas, a vendeu.
Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's:
4 E disse eu: Manifestal-o-hei em teus ouvidos, dizendo: Toma-a diante dos habitantes, e diante dos anciãos do meu povo; se a has de redimir, redime-a, e, se não se houver de redimir, declara-m'o, para que o saiba, pois outro não ha senão tu que a redima, e eu depois de ti. Então disse elle: Eu a redimirei.
And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.
5 Disse porém Boaz: No dia em que tomares a terra da mão de Noemi, tambem a tomarás da mão de Ruth, a moabita, mulher do defunto, para suscitar o nome do defunto sobre a sua herdade.
Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.
6 Então disse o remidor: Para mim não a poderei redimir, para que não damne a minha herdade: redime tu a minha remissão para ti, porque eu não a poderei redimir.
And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation's part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.
7 Havia, pois, já de muito tempo este costume em Israel, emquanto a remissão e contracto, para confirmar todo o negocio, que o homem descalçava o sapato e o dava ao seu proximo: e isto era por testemunho em Israel.
Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.
8 Disse pois o remidor a Boaz: Toma-a para ti. E descalçou o sapato.
So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.
9 Então Boaz disse aos anciãos e a todo o povo: Sois hoje testemunhas de que tomei tudo quanto foi d'Elimelech, e de Chilion, e de Mahlon, da mão de Noemi,
Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.
10 E de que tambem tomo por mulher a Ruth, a moabita, que foi mulher de Mahlon, para suscitar o nome do defunto sobre a sua herdade, para que o nome do defunto não seja desarraigado d'entre seus irmãos e da porta do seu logar: d'isto sois hoje testemunhas.
And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day.
11 E todo o povo que estava na porta, e os anciãos, disseram: Somos testemunhas: o Senhor faça a esta mulher, que entra na tua casa, como a Rachel e como a Leah, que ambas edificaram a casa d'Israel; e ha-te já valorosamente em Ephrata, e faze-te nome afamado em Beth-lehem.
And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;
12 E seja a tua casa como a casa de Perez (que Tamar pariu a Judah), da semente que o Senhor te der d'esta moça.
May your family be like the family of Perez, the son whom Tamar gave to Judah, from the offspring which the Lord may give you by this young woman.
13 Assim tomou Boaz a Ruth, e ella lhe foi por mulher; e elle entrou a ella, e o Senhor lhe deu conceição, e pariu um filho.
So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.
14 Então as mulheres disseram a Noemi: Bemdito seja o Senhor, que não deixou hoje de te dar remidor, e seja o seu nome afamado em Israel.
And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.
15 Elle te será por recreador da alma, e conservará a tua velhice, pois tua nora, que te ama, o pariu, e ella te é melhor do que sete filhos.
He will be a giver of new life to you, and your comforter when you are old, for your daughter-in-law, who, in her love for you, is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.
16 E Noemi tomou o filho, e o poz no seu regaço, e foi sua ama.
And Naomi took the child and put her arms round it, and she took care of it.
17 E as visinhas lhe deram um nome, dizendo: A Noemi nasceu um filho. E chamaram o seu nome Obed. Este é o pae de Jessé, pae de David.
And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Estas são pois as gerações de Perez: Perez gerou a Esrom,
Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;
19 E Esrom gerou a Arão, e Arão gerou a Amminadab,
And Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab;
20 E Amminadab gerou a Nahasson, e Nahasson gerou a Salmon,
And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;
21 E Salmon gerou a Boaz, e Boaz gerou a Obed,
And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;
22 E Obed gerou a Jessé, e Jessé gerou a David.
And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
