Ruth 4
Hungarian Károli
4 Boáz pedig felment a kapuba, és ott leült. És ímé arra ment az a legközelebbi rokon, a kirõl Boáz beszélt vala, és monda néki: Jer csak, ülj ide atyafi. És az oda ment és leüle.
2 Ekkor õ maga mellé vett tíz férfiút a város vénei közül és monda: Üljetek ide! És azok leülének.
3 És õ monda a legközelebbi rokonnak: Azt a darab szántóföldet, mely a mi atyánkfiáé, Eliméleké volt, eladja Naómi, a ki haza jött a Moáb mezejérõl.
4 Én pedig gondoltam, hogy füledbe juttatom, mondván: Vedd meg az itt ülõk elõtt és az én népemnek vénei elõtt. Ha megváltod: váltsd meg; és ha nem váltod meg: jelentsd ki elõttem, hogy tudjam; mert rajtad kívül nincs, a ki megváltaná, és én vagyok utánad. És az monda: Én megváltom.
5 És monda Boáz: A mely napon megveszed a szántóföldet Naómi kezébõl, akkor a Moábita Ruthtól, a megholtnak feleségétõl veszed meg, hogy nevet támaszsz a megholtnak, az õ örökségében.
6 A legközelebbi rokon pedig monda: Nem válthatom meg magamnak, hogy el ne veszessem a magam örökségét; váltsd meg te magadnak az én rokoni részemet, mert én nem válthatom meg.
7 Ez vala pedig [a szokás] régen Izráelben, a megváltás és cserélés alkalmával, minden dolognak megerõsítésére: A férfi lehúzta az õ saruját és oda adta felebarátjának, és ez volt a bizonyság Izráelben.
8 Monda annakokáért a legközelebbi rokon Boáznak: Vedd meg magadnak! És lehúzta a saruját.
9 És monda Boáz a véneknek és az egész népnek: Ti vagytok tanui ma, hogy megvettem mindent, a mi Eliméleké volt, és mindent, a mi Kiljoné és Mahloné volt, Naómi kezébõl;
10 [Sõt] a Moábita Ruthot is, Mahlonnak feleségét feleségül vettem, hogy nevet támaszszak a megholtnak az õ örökségében, és ki ne veszszen a megholtnak neve az õ atyjafiai közül és az õ helységének kapujából. Tanuk vagytok ma.
11 És monda az egész nép, mely a kapuban vala és a vének: Tanuk vagyunk! Tegye az Úr az asszonyt, a ki a te házadba megy, olyanná, mint Rákhel és Lea, a kik ketten építették fel Izráel házát, és gyûjts vagyont Efratában és szerezz nevet Bethlehemben.
12 És a te házad legyen, miként a Pérecz háza - a kit Thámár szült Júdának - abból a magzatból, a melyet az Úr adánd néked ettõl az asszonytól.
13 Elvevé annakokáért Boáz Ruthot, és lõn az néki felesége, és beméne hozzá, és megadá az Úr, hogy az fogana az õ méhében, és szült fiút.
14 És mondák az asszonyok Naóminak: Áldott az Úr, a ki ma nem engedte meg, hogy rokon nélkül maradj; emlegessék az õ nevét Izráelben!
15 És legyen õ a te lelkednek megvidámítója, és vénségednek istápolója, mert menyed szülte õt, az, a ki téged szeret, és a ki többet ér néked hét fiúnál.
16 Ekkor megfogá Naómi a gyermeket, és ölébe vevé, és dajkája lõn annak.
17 A szomszédasszonyok pedig nevet adának néki, mondván: Fia született Naóminak, és nevezték az õ nevét Obednek. Ez az apja Isainak, a Dávid atyjának.
18 És a Pérecz nemzetségei ezek: Pérecz nemzé Hesront;
19 Hesron pedig nemzé Rámot, és Rám nemzé Amminádábot;
20 Amminádáb pedig nemzé Naássont, és Naásson nemzé Sálmónt;
21 Sálmón pedig nemzé Boázt, és Boáz nemzé Obedet;
22 És Obed nemzé Isait, Isai pedig nemzé Dávidot.
Ruth 4
King James Version
4 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:
4 And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.
7 Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son.
14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Ruth 4
New King James Version
Boaz Redeems Ruth
4 Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there; and behold, (A)the close relative of whom Boaz had spoken came by. So Boaz said, “Come aside, [a]friend, sit down here.” So he came aside and sat down. 2 And he took ten men of (B)the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here.” So they sat down. 3 Then he said to the close relative, “Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, sold the piece of land (C)which belonged to our brother Elimelech. 4 And I thought to [b]inform you, saying, (D)‘Buy it back (E)in the presence of the inhabitants and the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if [c]you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; (F)for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you.’ ”
And he said, “I will redeem it.”
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also buy it from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, (G)to [d]perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance.”
6 (H)And the close relative said, “I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I ruin my own inheritance. You redeem my right of redemption for yourself, for I cannot redeem it.”
7 (I)Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging, to confirm anything: one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was a confirmation in Israel.
8 Therefore the close relative said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.” So he took off his sandal. 9 And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi. 10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired as my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance, (J)that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from [e]his position at the gate. You are witnesses this day.”
11 And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. (K)The Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who (L)built the house of Israel; and may you prosper in (M)Ephrathah and be famous in (N)Bethlehem. 12 May your house be like the house of (O)Perez, (P)whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of (Q)the offspring which the Lord will give you from this young woman.”
Descendants of Boaz and Ruth(R)
13 So Boaz (S)took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, (T)the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son. 14 Then (U)the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a [f]close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel! 15 And may he be to you a restorer of life and a [g]nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is (V)better to you than seven sons, has borne him.” 16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her bosom, and became a nurse to him. 17 (W)Also the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, “There is a son born to Naomi.” And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 (X)Now this is the genealogy of Perez: (Y)Perez begot Hezron; 19 Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab; 20 Amminadab begot (Z)Nahshon, and Nahshon begot (AA)Salmon;[h] 21 Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed; 22 Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot (AB)David.
