Књига о Рути 4
1 А Воз изиђе на врата градска, и седе онде. И гле, наиђе онај осветник, за ког Воз говораше, и рече му Воз: Ходи овамо, седи овде. И он дође и седе.
Meanwhile, Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the kinsman-redeemer of whom he had spoken came along, and Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.
2 Потом узе Воз десет људи између старешина градских и рече: Поседајте овде. И поседаше.
Then Boaz took ten of the elders of the city and said, “Sit here,” and they did so.
3 Тада рече оном осветнику: Њиву која је била брата нашег Елимелеха продала је Нојемина, која се вратила из земље моавске.
And he said to the kinsman-redeemer, “Naomi, who has returned from the land of Moab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech.
4 Зато рекох: Да јавим теби, и кажем ти: Узми њиву пред овима што седе овде и пред старешинама народа мог; ако ћеш откупити, откупи; ако ли нећеш откупити, кажи ми да знам; јер осим тебе нема другог који би откупио, а после тебе идем ја. А он рече: Ја ћу откупити.
I thought I should inform you that you may buy it back in the presence of those seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you want to redeem it, do so. But if you will not redeem it, tell me so I may know, because there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you.” “I will redeem it,” he replied.
5 А Воз рече: У који дан узмеш њиву из руке Нојеминине, треба да узмеш и Руту Моавку жену умрлога, да подигнеш име умрлом у наследству његовом.
Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi and also from Ruth the Moabitess, you must also acquire the widow of the deceased in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance.”
6 Тада рече онај осветник: Не могу откупити, да не распем своје наследство; откупи ти шта би требало да ја откупим, јер ја не могу откупити.
The kinsman-redeemer replied, “I cannot redeem it myself, or I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption, because I cannot redeem it.”
7 А беше од старине обичај у Израиљу о откупљивању и промењивању, да би свака ствар била тврда, да један изује обућу своју и да другом, и то беше сведоџба у Израиљу.
Now in former times in Israel, concerning the redemption or exchange of property, to make any matter legally binding a man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party, and this was a confirmation in Israel.
8 Кад дакле онај осветник рече Возу: Узми ти, изу обућу своју.
So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”
9 А Воз рече старешинама и свему народу: Ви сте сведоци данас да сам откупио из руке Нојеминине шта је год било Елимелехово и шта је год било Хелеоново и Малоново;
At this, Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses today that I am buying from Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech, Chilion, and Mahlon.
10 И да сам узео за жену Руту Моавку жену Малонову да подигнем име умрлом у наследству његовом, да не би погинуло име умрлом међу браћом његовом и у месту његовом; ви сте сведоци данас.
Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased through his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his brothers or from the gate of his home. You are witnesses today.”
11 И сав народ који беше на вратима градским и старешине рекоше: Сведоци смо; да да Господ да жена која долази у дом твој буде као Рахиља и Лија, које обе сазидаше дом Израиљев; богати се у Ефрати, и прослави име своје у Витлејему!
“We are witnesses,” said the elders and all the people at the gate. “May the LORD make the woman entering your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you be prosperous in Ephrathah and famous in Bethlehem.
12 И од семена које ти Господ да од те жене, да постане дом твој као дом Фареса ког роди Тамара Јуди.
And may your house become like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring the LORD will give you by this young woman.”
13 И тако узе Воз Руту и би му жена, и он леже с њом, и Господ јој даде те затрудне, и роди сина.
So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And when he had relations with her, the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.
14 И рекоше жене Нојемини: Да је благословен Господ који те није оставио данас без осветника, да се име Његово слави у Израиљу!
Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a kinsman-redeemer. May his name become famous in Israel.
15 Он ће ти утешити душу и биће потпора старости твојој, јер га роди снаха твоја која те љуби и која ти је боља него седам синова.
He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”
16 И узе Нојемина дете, и метну га на крило своје, и беше му дадиља.
And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a nurse to him.
17 И суседе наденуше му име говорећи: Роди се син Нојемини, и прозваше га Овид. Он би отац Јесеја, оца Давидовог.
The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 А ово је племе Фаресово: Фарес роди Есрома;
Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,
19 А Есром роди Арама; а Арам роди Аминадава;
Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab,
20 А Аминадав роди Насона; а Насон роди Салмона;
Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon,
21 А Салмон роди Воза; а Воз роди Овида;
Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed,
22 А Овид роди Јесеја; а Јесеј роди Давида.
Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David.
