Rute 4

1 E Boaz subiu à porta, e assentou-se ali: e eis que o remidor de que Boaz tinha falado ia passando, e disse-lhe: Ó fulano, desvia-te para cá, assenta-te aqui. E desviou-se para ali, e assentou-se.

Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. Look, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, "Come over here, friend, and sit down." He turned aside, and sat down.

2 Então tomou dez homens dos anciãos da cidade, e disse: assentai-vos aqui. E assentaram-se.

He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here." They sat down.

3 Então disse ao remidor: aquela parte da terra que foi de Elimelech, nosso irmão, Noemi, que tornou da terra dos moabitas, a vendeu.

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 E disse eu: manifesta-lo-ei em teus ouvidos, dizendo: Toma-a diante dos habitantes, e diante dos anciãos do meu povo; se a as de redimir, redime-a, e, se não se houver de redimir, declara-mo, para que o saiba, pois outro não há senão tu que a redima, e eu depois de ti. Então disse ele: Eu a redimirei.

I thought to disclose it to 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 Disse porém Boaz: No dia em que tomares a terra da mão de Noemi, também 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 you buy the field from the hand of Naomi and from Ruth the Moabitess, you must also acquire the widow of the deceased, to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance."

6 Então disse o remidor: Para mim não a poderei redimir, para que não dane a minha herdade: redime tu a minha remissão para ti, porque eu não a poderei redimir.

The near kinsman said, "I can't redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can't redeem it."

7 Havia, pois, já de muito tempo este costume em Israel, enquanto a remissão e contrato, para confirmar todo o negócio, que o homem descalçava o sapato e o dava ao seu próximo: e isto era por testemunho em Israel.

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 neighbor; and this was the way of attestation in Israel.

8 Disse pois o remidor a Boaz: Toma-a para ti. E descalçou o sapato.

So the near kinsman said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." And he took off his sandal and gave it to him.

9 Então Boaz disse aos anciãos e a todo o povo: Sois hoje testemunhas de que tomei tudo quanto foi de Elimelech, e de Chilion, e de Mahlon, da mão de Noemi,

Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, "You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Kilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.

10 E de que também 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 dentre seus irmãos e da porta do seu lugar: disto sois hoje testemunhas.

Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, that the name of the deceased may not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place. 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 de Israel; e há-te já valorosamente em Ephrata, e faze-te nome afamado em Beth-lehem.

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 two built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous 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 desta moça.

Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which the LORD shall give you of this young woman."

13 Assim tomou Boaz a Ruth, e ela lhe foi por mulher; e ele entrou a ela, 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 gave her conception, and she bore a son.

14 Então as mulheres disseram a Noemi: bendito seja o Senhor, que não deixou hoje de te dar remidor, e seja o seu nome afamado em Israel.

The women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a redeemer; and let his name be famous in Israel.

15 Ele te será por recreador da alma, e conservará a tua velhice, pois tua nora, que te ama, o pariu, e ela te é melhor do que sete filhos.

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 borne him."

16 E Noemi tomou o filho, e o pôs no seu regaço, e foi sua ama.

Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and looked after him.

17 E as vizinhas lhe deram um nome, dizendo: A Noemi nasceu um filho. E chamaram o seu nome Obed. Este é o pai de Jessé, pai de David.

The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi." And they named him 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.
