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. Soon, the near kinsman of whom Boaz had spoken came by. Boaz said to him, “My friend, come over and sit down here.” The man came over and sat down.
2 Então tomou dez homens dos anciãos da cidade, e disse: assentai-vos aqui. E assentaram-se.
Then Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city and said, “Sit down here.” So 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.
Boaz said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has returned from the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land that was our brother Elimelek'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 inform you and say to you, 'Buy it in the presence of those who are sitting here, and in the presence of the elders of my people.' If you wish to redeem it, redeem it. But if you do not wish to redeem it, then tell me, so that I may know, for there is no one to redeem it besides you, and I am after you.” Then the other man 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 that you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also take Ruth the Moabite woman, the widow of a dead man, in order to raise up the name of the dead 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.
Then the near kinsman said, “I cannot redeem it for myself without damaging my own inheritance. You take my right of redemption for yourself, for I cannot 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 times in Israel concerning the redemption and exchange of goods. To confirm all things, a man took off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor; this was the manner of making legal agreements 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.
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,
Then Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today that I have bought all that was Elimelek'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.
Also Ruth the Moabite woman, the wife of Mahlon, I have acquired to be my wife, in order that I might raise up the name of the dead man on his inheritance, so that his name will not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. Today you are witnesses!”
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 Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built up the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be renowned 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.
May your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, through the offspring that Yahweh will give you with 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. He slept with her, and Yahweh allowed her to become pregnant, 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, “May Yahweh be blessed, who has not left you today without a near kinsman, this baby. May 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.
May he be for you a restorer of life and a nourisher of 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, laid him in her bosom, and took care of 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 of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, who became the father of David.
18 Estas são pois as gerações de Perez: Perez gerou a Esrom,
Now these were the descendants of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
19 E Esrom gerou a Arão, e Arão gerou a Amminadab,
Hezron became the father of Ram, Ram became the father of Amminadab,
20 E Amminadab gerou a Nahasson, e Nahasson gerou a Salmon,
Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
21 E Salmon gerou a Boaz, e Boaz gerou a Obed,
Salmon became the father of Boaz, Boaz became the father of Obed,
22 E Obed gerou a Jessé, e Jessé gerou a David.
Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
