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.
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.
2 Então tomou dez homens dos anciãos da cidade, e disse: Assentae-vos aqui. E assentaram-se.
But Boaz, calling aside ten men among the elders of the city, said to them, “Sit down here.”
3 Então disse ao remidor: Aquella parte da terra que foi de Elimelech, nosso irmão, Noemi, que tornou da terra dos moabitas, a vendeu.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.”
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.
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.”
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.
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.
8 Disse pois o remidor a Boaz: Toma-a para ti. E descalçou o sapato.
And so Boaz said to his kinsman, “Take off your shoe.” And immediately he released it from his foot.
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,
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.
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 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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not permitted your family to be without a successor, and may his name be called upon 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.
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.”
16 E Noemi tomou o filho, e o poz no seu regaço, e foi sua ama.
And taking up the boy, Naomi placed him on her bosom, and she took on the duties of carrying him and nursing him.
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 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.”
18 Estas são pois as gerações de Perez: Perez gerou a Esrom,
These are the generations of Perez: Perez conceived Hezron,
19 E Esrom gerou a Arão, e Arão gerou a Amminadab,
Hezron conceived Aram, Aram conceived Amminadab,
20 E Amminadab gerou a Nahasson, e Nahasson gerou a Salmon,
Amminadab conceived Nahshon, Nahshon conceived Salmon,
21 E Salmon gerou a Boaz, e Boaz gerou a Obed,
Salmon conceived Boaz, Boaz conceived Obed,
22 E Obed gerou a Jessé, e Jessé gerou a David.
Obed conceived Jesse, Jesse conceived David.
