1 A nd Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. And behold, he that had the right of redemption, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by. And he said, Thou, such a one, turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside and sat down.

فَصَعِدَ بُوعَزُ إلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الاجْتِماعاتِ العامَّةِ عِندَ بَوّابَةِ المَدِينَةِ وَجَلَسَ هُناكَ. ثُمَّ مَرَّ الحامِي الآخَرُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ بُوعَزُ. فَقالَ لَهُ بُوعَزُ: «يا فُلانُ، تَعالَ إلَى هُنا وَاجلِسْ.» فَالتَفَتَ وَجَلَسَ.

2 A nd he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And they sat down.

ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى عَشْرَةَ رِجالٍ مِنْ شُيُوخِ المَدِينَةِ، وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «اجلِسُوا.» فَجَلَسُوا.

3 A nd he said to him that had the right of redemption: Naomi, who is come back out of the country of Moab, sells the allotment that was our brother Elimelech's.

ثُمَّ قالَ بُوعَزُ لِلحامِي: «نُعمِي، المَرأةُ الَّتِي عادَتْ مِنْ أرْضِ مُوآبَ، تُرِيدُ بَيْعَ الأرْضِ الَّتِي تَخُصُّ قَرِيبَنا ألِيمالِكَ.

4 A nd I thought I would apprise thee of it and say, Buy in the presence of the inhabitants, and in the presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem, redeem; but if thou wilt not redeem, tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem.

وَقَدْ قَرَّرْتُ أنْ أتَحَدَّثَ مَعكَ بِشأنِها، لِأرَى إنْ كُنْتَ سَتَشْتَرِيها أمامَ الجالِسِينَ هُنا وَشُيُوخِ شَعبِي. فَإنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ أنْ تَشتَرِيَها وَتَقُومَ بِواجِبِ الحامِي، فاشْتَرِها وَقُمْ بِواجِبِ الحامِي. وَإنْ كُنتَ لا تُرِيدُ، فَأخْبِرْنِي لِأعرِفَ، لِأنَّكَ أنتَ أقْرَبُ مَنْ يَنْبَغِيُ عَلَيهِ ذَلِكَ، وَأنا بَعْدُكَ فِي هَذا الأمْرِ.» فَقالَ الحامِي: «سَأشْتَرِيها وَأقُومُ بِواجِبِ الحامِي.»

5 A nd Boaz said, On the day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

فَقالَ بُوعَزُ: «عِندَما تَشتَرِي الأرْضَ مِنْ نُعمِي وَراعُوثَ المُوآبِيَّةَ، فَأنتَ تَشتَرِيها لإعادَةِ اسْمِ الرَّجُلِ المَيِّتِ إلَى مِيراثِهِ.»

6 A nd he that had the right of redemption said, I cannot redeem for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance. Redeem thou for thyself what I should redeem, for I cannot redeem.

فَقالَ الحامِي الأقرَبُ: «لا أستَطِيعُ شِراءَها، لِئَلّا أُفْسِدَ مِيراثِي. فاشْتَرِ أنْتَ ما كانَ واجِباً عَلَيَّ شِراؤهُ، فَأنا لا أستَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ.»

7 N ow this in former time in Israel concerning redemption and concerning exchange, to confirm the whole matter: a man drew off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour, and this was the attestation in Israel.

وَكانَتِ العادَةُ فِي تِلكَ الأيّامِ فِي إسْرائِيلَ أنْ يَخلَعَ الشَّخْصُ حِذاءَهُ وَيُعطِيهِ لِلآخَرِ، كَصَكٍّ لِتَبادُلِ البَضائِعِ، أوِ القِيامِ بِواجِبِ الحامِي.

8 A nd he that had the right of redemption said to Boaz, Buy for thyself; and he drew off his sandal.

فَعِندَما قالَ الحامِي لِبُوعَزَ: «اشْتَرِ أنتَ،» خَلَعَ حِذاءَهُ.

9 A nd Boaz said to the elders and 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;

ثُمَّ قالَ بُوعَزُ لِلشُّيُوخِ وَلِكافَّةِ النّاسِ الَّذِينَ كانُوا هُناكَ: «كُلُّكُمْ شُهُودٌ اليَومَ عَلَى أنَّنِي سَأشْتَرِي مِنْ نُعمِي كُلَّ ما كانَ يَمتَلِكُهُ ألِيمالِكُ وَابْناهُ كِليُونَ وَمَحلُونُ.

10 m oreover 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.

وَكَذَلِكَ سأتَّخِذُ راعُوثَ المُوآبِيَّةَ زَوجَةَ مَحلُونَ زَوجَةً لِي، لِأُعِيْدَ اسْمَ الرَّجُلِ المَيِّتِ إلَى مِيراثِهِ، فَلا يُقطَعُ اسْمُهُ مِنْ عَشِيرَتِهِ وَمِنْ بَلدَتِهِ الأصلِيَّةِ. وَأنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اليَومَ.»

11 A nd all the people that were in the gate and the elders said, witnesses. Jehovah make the woman that cometh into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel; and acquire power in Ephratah, and make thyself a name in Bethlehem;

فَقالَ الشُّيُوخُ وَكافَةُ الَّذِينَ كانُوا فِي مِنْطَقَةِ الاجْتِماعاتِ العامَّةِ عِندَ بَوّابَةِ المَدِينَةِ: «لِيَجعَلِ اللهُ هَذِهِ المَرأةَ الدّاخِلَةَ إلَى بَيتِكَ كَراحِيلَ وَلَيئَةَ اللَّتينِ بَنَتا بَيتَ إسْرائِيلَ. وَلْتُصبِحْ عائِلَةً قَوِيَّةً فِي أفراتَةَ. وَلْيَكُنِ اسْمُكَ شَهِيراً فِي بَيْتَ لَحْمَ.

12 a nd let thy house become like the house of Pherez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give thee of this young woman.

لِيَبْنِ اللهُ بَيتَكَ مِنَ الأولادِ الَّذِينَ يُعطِيكَ إيّاهُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ المَرأةِ الشّابَّةِ، وَلْيَكُنْ بَيْتاً عَظِيماً كَبَيتِ فارَصَ ابنِ ثامارَ وَيَهُوذا.»

13 A nd Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bore a son.

فاتَّخَذَ بُوعَزُ راعُوثَ زَوجَةً لَهُ. وَعَاشَرَها، فَأعطاها اللهُ القُدرَةَ عَلَى أنْ تَحْمِلَ. وَوَلَدَتْ صَبِيّاً.

14 A nd the women said to Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah who hath not left thee this day without one that has the right of redemption, and may his name be famous in Israel!

وَأنْشَدَتْ نِساءُ البَلدَةِ لِنُعمِي: «مُبارَكٌ اللهُ الَّذِي أعطاكِ اليَومَ حامِياً. لِيَكُنْ اسْمُهُ شَهِيراً فِي إسْرائِيلَ.

15 A nd he shall be to thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age; for thy daughter-in-law who loves thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, has borne him.

فَهُوَ سَيُعَزِّيكِ وَيَعتَنِي بِكِ فِي شَيخُوخَتِكِ. لِأنَّ كَنَّتَكِ مَنْ أحَبَّتْكِ هِيَ مَنْ وَلَدَتْهُ، وَهِيَ أفضَلُ لَكِ مِنْ سَبْعَةِ بَنِينَ.»

16 A nd Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.

فَأخَذَتْ نُعمِي الصَّبِيَّ، وَوَضَعَتْهُ فِي حِضْنِها، وَصارَتْ مُرَبِّيَةً لَهُ.

17 A nd the women 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.

وَأسْمَتْهُ الجاراتُ عُوبِيدَ، وَقُلْنَ: «وُلِدَ لِنُعمِي ابْنٌ.» وَعُوبِيدُ هُوَ أبُو يَسَّى، وَيَسَّى أبُو المَلِكِ داوُدَ.

18 N ow these are the generations of Pherez. Pherez begot Hezron,

هَذا هُوَ سِجِلُّ عائِلَةِ فارَصَ: فارَصُ أبُو حَصرُونَ.

19 a nd Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,

حَصرُونُ أبُو رامٍ. رامٌ أبُو عَمِّينادابَ.

20 a nd Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,

عَمِّينادابُ أبُو نَحشُونَ. نَحشُونُ أبُو سَلْمُونَ.

21 a nd Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,

سَلمُونُ أبُو بُوعَزَ. بُوعَزُ أبُو عُوبِيدَ.

22 a nd Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.

عُوبِيدُ أبُو يَسَّى. يَسَّى أبُو داوُدَ.
