Bocas Oo Guursaday Ruud
4 Markaasaa Bocas wuxuu tegey iriddii magaalada, oo halkaasuu fadhiistay; oo bal eeg waxaa ag yimid ninkii Bocas ka hadlay ee ahaa xigaalka uga dhow. Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, War, hebelow, soo leexo, oo bal kaalay, halkan fadhiiso. Kolkaasuu soo leexday oo fadhiistay. 2 Markaasuu wuxuu soo kaxaystay toban nin oo odayaashii magaalada ah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal halkan fadhiista, oo iyana way fadhiisteen. 3 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi ninkii xigaalka u dhow ahaa, Nimco oo ka soo noqotay waddankii reer Moo'aab ayaa iibinaysa jagadii dhulka ahayd ee uu lahaa walaalkeen Eliimeleg. 4 Oo waxay ila noqotay inaan ku ogeysiiyo inaad ku iibsato kuwa halkan fadhiya iyo odayaasha dadkayga hortooda. Haddaad doonaysid inaad iibsatid, iibso, laakiinse haddaanad doonaynin inaad iibsatid ii sheeg aan ogaadee, waayo, nin kaaga dhow oo iibsanaya ma jiro, oo anna adigaan kaa dambeeyaa. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waan iibsanayaa. 5 Markaasaa Bocas wuxuu yidhi, Maalintii aad Nimco gacanteeda beerta ka iibsatid, waa inaad Ruud tii reer Moo'aabna ka iibsataa, taasoo ah naagtii kii dhintay, inaad kii dhintay magiciisii ku soo celisid dhulkii dhaxalkiisa ahaa. 6 Markaasaa ninkii xigaalka u dhow ahaa wuxuu yidhi, Anigu taas ma iibsan karo, waayo, waaba intaasoo aan dhaxalkayga halleeyaa; haddaba adigu qaado xaqii aan iibsashada u lahaa, maxaa yeelay, anigu ma aan iibsan karo. 7 Oo haddaba waagii hore reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda caadadii ku saabsanayd kala iibsashada iyo kala beddelashada waxay ahayd in nin kabtiisa iska siibo oo uu deriskiisa u dhiibo in wax walba la sii adkeeyo aawadeed. Taasu waxay reer binu Israa'iil u ahayd sida loo markhaati furo. 8 Sidaas daraaddeed ninkii xigaalka u dhow ahaa wuxuu Bocas ku yidhi, Adigu soo iibso. Markaasuu kabtiisii iska siibay. 9 Markaasaa Bocas wuxuu ku yidhi odayaashii iyo dadkii oo dhanba, Bal idinku maanta markhaatiyaal baad ka tihiin inaan Nimco gacanteeda ka iibsaday kulli wixii Eliimeleg lahaa oo dhan, iyo kulli wixii Kilyoon iyo Maxloon lahaayeen oo dhan. 10 Oo weliba Ruud tii reer Moo'aab oo ahayd naagtii Maxloonna waxaan u iibsaday inay naagtaydii ahaato ee aan kii dhintay magiciisii u soo celiyo dhulkii uu dhaxalka u lahaa, si uusan kii dhintay magiciisii uga go'in walaalihiis dhexdooda iyo iriddii meeshiisa; idinku markhaatiyaal baad ka tihiin. 11 Markaasaa dadkii iridda joogay oo dhan iyo odayaashiiba waxay yidhaahdeen, Markhaatiyaal baannu ka nahay. Naagta gurigaaga soo gashay Rabbigu ha ka dhigo sidii Raaxeel iyo Lee'ah, labadaas oo ahaa kuwii dhisay reerkii Israa'iil; oo adna Efraataah ku barwaaqow, Beytlaxamna caan ku ahow. 12 Oo farcanka Rabbigu kaa siin doono naagtan dhallintayar reerkaagu ha ku noqdo sidii reerkii Feres, kaasoo ahaa kii Taamaar u dhashay Yahuudah.
Abtirsiinadii Daa'uud
13 Markaasuu Bocas kaxaystay Ruud, oo iyana waxay noqotay naagtiisii; kolkaasuu iyadii u tegey, oo Rabbiguna wuxuu iyadii siiyey uur oo waxay dhashay wiil. 14 Markaasaa dumarkii waxay Nimco ku yidhaahdeen, Mahad waxaa leh Rabbiga aan maanta xigaalla'aan ku dhigin, oo magiciisuna reer binu Israa'iil caan ha ku dhex ahaado. 15 Oo isna wuxuu kuu noqon doonaa naf-sooceliye iyo ku markaad gabowdo ku quudiya. Waayo, waxaa isaga kuu dhashay gabadhii aad soddohda u ahayd ee ku jeclayd, ee kaaga sii wanaagsan toddoba wiil. 16 Markaasaa Nimco wiilkii qaadday oo laabta ku jiifisay, oo waxay u noqotay tu xannaanaysa. 17 Markaasaa dumarkii deriska u ahaa magac u bixiyeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Wiil baa u dhashay Nimco, oo magiciisiina waxay u bixiyeen Coobeed; oo isagu waa Yesay aabbihiis, kii Daa'uud dhalay. 18 Haddaba kuwanu waa abtirsiinyadii Feres. Feres wuxuu dhalay Xesroon; 19 Xesroonna wuxuu dhalay Raam, Raamna wuxuu dhalay Cammiinaadaab; 20 Cammiinaadaabna wuxuu dhalay Naxshoon, Naxshoonna wuxuu dhalay Salmoon; 21 Salmoonna wuxuu dhalay Bocas, Bocasna wuxuu dhalay Coobeed; 22 Coobeedna wuxuu dhalay Yesay, Yesayna wuxuu dhalay Daa'uud.

Boaz Redeems Ruth
4 Now Boaz had gone up to (A)the gate and sat down there. And behold, (B)the redeemer, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by. So Boaz said, “Turn aside, friend; sit down here.” And he turned aside and sat down. 2 And he took ten men (C)of the elders of the city and said, “Sit down here.” So they sat down. 3 Then he said to the redeemer, “Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land that belonged to our relative Elimelech. 4 So I thought I would tell you of it and say, (D)‘Buy it in the presence of those sitting here and in the presence of the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it. But if you[a] will not, tell me, that I may know, for there is no one besides you to redeem it, and I come after you.” And he said, “I will redeem it.” 5 Then Boaz said, “The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you also acquire Ruth[b] the Moabite, the widow of the dead, in order (E)to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance.” 6 (F)Then the redeemer said, “I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I impair my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption yourself, for I cannot redeem it.”
7 (G)Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging: to confirm a transaction, the one drew off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was the manner of attesting in Israel. 8 So when the redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” he drew off his sandal. 9 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses this day that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to (H)Chilion and to Mahlon. 10 Also Ruth the Moabite, the widow of Mahlon, I have bought to be my wife, (I)to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his native place. You are witnesses this day.” 11 Then all the people who were (J)at the gate and the elders said, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman, who is coming into your house, like Rachel and Leah, (K)who together (L)built up the house of Israel. May you act worthily in (M)Ephrathah and (N)be renowned in Bethlehem, 12 and may your house be like the house of Perez, (O)whom Tamar bore to Judah, because (P)of the offspring that the Lord will give you by this young woman.”
Ruth and Boaz Marry
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And he went in to her, (Q)and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son. 14 (R)Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without (S)a redeemer, and may his name (T)be renowned in Israel! 15 He shall be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law who loves you, (U)who is more to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.” 16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her lap and became his nurse. 17 (V)And the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
The Genealogy of David
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: (W)Perez fathered Hezron, 19 Hezron fathered Ram, Ram fathered Amminadab, 20 (X)Amminadab fathered Nahshon, Nahshon fathered Salmon, 21 Salmon fathered Boaz, Boaz fathered Obed, 22 Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.

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.

Boaz Marries Ruth
4 Meanwhile Boaz went up to the town gate(A) and sat down there just as the guardian-redeemer[a](B) he had mentioned(C) came along. Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.
2 Boaz took ten of the elders(D) of the town and said, “Sit here,” and they did so.(E) 3 Then he said to the guardian-redeemer, “Naomi, who has come back from Moab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our relative Elimelek.(F) 4 I thought I should bring the matter to your attention and suggest that you buy it in the presence of these seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, do so. But if you[b] will not, tell me, so I will know. For no one has the right to do it except you,(G) and I am next in line.”
“I will redeem it,” he said.
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite,(H) the[c] dead man’s widow, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property.”(I)
6 At this, the guardian-redeemer said, “Then I cannot redeem(J) it because I might endanger my own estate. You redeem it yourself. I cannot do it.”(K)
7 (Now in earlier times in Israel, for the redemption(L) and transfer of property to become final, one party took off his sandal(M) and gave it to the other. This was the method of legalizing transactions(N) in Israel.)(O)
8 So the guardian-redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy it yourself.” And he removed his sandal.(P)
9 Then Boaz announced to the elders and all the people, “Today you are witnesses(Q) that I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelek, Kilion and Mahlon. 10 I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite,(R) Mahlon’s widow, as my wife,(S) in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property, so that his name will not disappear from among his family or from his hometown.(T) Today you are witnesses!(U)”
11 Then the elders and all the people at the gate(V) said, “We are witnesses.(W) May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah,(X) who together built up the family of Israel. May you have standing in Ephrathah(Y) and be famous in Bethlehem.(Z) 12 Through the offspring the Lord gives you by this young woman, may your family be like that of Perez,(AA) whom Tamar(AB) bore to Judah.”
Naomi Gains a Son
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When he made love to her, the Lord enabled her to conceive,(AC) and she gave birth to a son.(AD) 14 The women(AE) said to Naomi: “Praise be to the Lord,(AF) who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer.(AG) May he become famous throughout Israel! 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law,(AH) who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons,(AI) has given him birth.”
16 Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him. 17 The women living there said, “Naomi has a son!” And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse,(AJ) the father of David.(AK)
The Genealogy of David(AL)
18 This, then, is the family line of Perez(AM):

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.
