1 И Вооз прииде ко вратом и седе тамо: и се, ужик мимоидяше, о немже глагола Вооз. И рече ему Вооз: уклонився сяди зде. Он же уклонися и седе.
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 И поя Вооз десять мужей от старейшин града, и рече: сядите зде. И седоша.
Then Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city and said, “Sit down here.” So they sat down.
3 И рече Вооз ужику: часть села, яже есть брата нашего Елимелеха, яже дадеся Ноеммине возвратившейся от села Моавля:
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 аз же рекох: явлю тебе сие во ухо твое, глаголя, пристяжи пред седящими и пред старейшины людий моих: и аще ужичествуеши, ужичествуй: аще же не ужичествуеши, повеждь ми, да ведаю: яко несть разве тебе еже ужичествовати ближший, и аз есмь по тебе. Он же рече: аз есмь, ужичествую.
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 И рече Вооз: в день в оньже пристяжеши село от руки Ноеммини, и от Руфы Моавитяныни жены умершаго, и сию достоит ти пояти, да возставиши имя умершаго в наследие его.
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 И рече ужик: не возмогу ужичествовати себе, да не разсыплю наследия моего: ужичествуй себе ты ужичество мое, аз бо не возмогу ужичествовати.
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 И сие управление бысть прежде во Израили о ужичествовании и о пременении, еже укрепити всякое слово: и иззуваше муж сапог свой, и даяше подругу своему ужичествующу ужичество его: и сие бяше свидетелство во Израили.
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 И рече ужик Воозу: пристяжи себе ужичество мое. И иззув сапог свой, даде ему.
So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” and he took off his sandal.
9 И рече Вооз старейшинам и всем людем: свидетеле вы днесь, яко пристяжах днесь вся, яже Елимелехова, и вся елика суть Хелеонова и Маалонова, от руки Ноеммини:
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 ксему же Руфь Моавитяныню жену Маалоню поемлю себе в жену возставити имя умершаго в наследие его, да не погибнет имя умершаго от братии его и от племене людий его: свидетеле вы днесь.
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 И отвещаша вси людие иже у врат: свидетеле есмы. И старейшины реша: да даст Господь жене твоей, входящей в дом твой, якоже Рахили и яко Лии, яже создаша обе дом Израилев, и сотвориша силу во Ефрафе, и будет имя в Вифлееме:
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 и буди дом твой якоже дом Фаресов, егоже роди Фамарь Иуде, от семене твоего даст тебе Господь от рабы сея чада.
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 И поя Вооз Руфь, и бысть ему жена, и вниде к ней: и даде ей Господь зачати, и роди сына.
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 И рекоша жены к Ноеммине: благословен Господь, Иже не разсыпа ужика твоего днесь, и прозовется имя твое во Израили,
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 и будет тебе во обращающаго душу и в прекормление старости твоея, яко сноха твоя, возлюбившая тебе, роди сына, яже есть блага тебе паче седми сынов.
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 И взя Ноемминь отроча, и положи е на лоне своем, и бысть ему кормилица.
Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and took care of him.
17 И прозваша соседи имя его, глаголюще: родися сын Ноеммине. И нарекоша имя ему Овид: сей есть отец Иессеа, отца Давидова.
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 И сия родства Фаресова: Фарес роди Есрома:
Now these were the descendants of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
19 Есром же роди Арама: Арам же роди Аминадава:
Hezron became the father of Ram, Ram became the father of Amminadab,
20 Аминадав же роди Наассона: Наассон же роди Салмона:
Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
21 Салмон же роди Вооза: Вооз же роди Овида:
Salmon became the father of Boaz, Boaz became the father of Obed,
22 Овид же роди Иессеа: Иессей же роди Давида.
Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
