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 Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside 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.
And Booz taking ten men of the ancients of the city, said to them: Sit ye 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 sat down, and he spoke to the kinsman: Noemi, who is returned from the country of Moab, will sell a parcel of land that belonged to 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 would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. 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 Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman’s hand, thou must take also Ruth the Moabitess, who was the wife of the deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance.
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 up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege, which I profess I do willingly 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.
Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe, and gave it to his neighhour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel.
8 Disse pois o remidor a Boaz: Toma-a para ti. E descalçou o sapato.
So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off 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 ancients and to all the people: You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and Chelion’s, and Mahalon’s, of the hand of Noemi:
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 have taken to wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon, to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name 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.
Then all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name 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 that the house may be, as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore unto Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of 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.
Booz therefore took Ruth, and married her: and went in unto her, and the Lord gave her to conceive and to 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 Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor, that his name should be preserved 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 thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.
16 E Noemi tomou o filho, e o poz no seu regaço, e foi sua ama.
And Noemi taking the child laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto 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 her neighbours, congratulating with her and saying: There is a son born to Noemi: called his name Obed: he is the father of Isai, the father of David.
18 Estas são pois as gerações de Perez: Perez gerou a Esrom,
These are the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esron,
19 E Esrom gerou a Arão, e Arão gerou a Amminadab,
Esron begot Aram, Aram begot Aminadab,
20 E Amminadab gerou a Nahasson, e Nahasson gerou a Salmon,
Aminadab begot Nahasson, Nahasson begot Salmon,
21 E Salmon gerou a Boaz, e Boaz gerou a Obed,
Salmon begot Booz, Booz begot Obed,
22 E Obed gerou a Jessé, e Jessé gerou a David.
Obed begot Isai, Isai begot David.
