Ruth 4

KJV

1  Then went Boaz up5927 1162 to the gate,8179 and sat him down3427 there:8033 and, behold,2009 the kinsman1350 of whom Boaz1162 spoke1696 came by;5674 unto whom834 he said,559 Ho, such6423 a one!492 turn aside,5493 sit down3427 here.6311 And he turned aside,5493 and sat down.3427

2  And he took3947 ten6235 men376 of the elders4480 2205 of the city,5892 and said,559 Sit ye down3427 here.6311 And they sat down.3427

3  And he said559 unto the kinsman,1350 Naomi,5281 that is come again7725 out of the country4480 7704 of Moab,4124 selleth4376 a parcel2513 of land,7704 which834 was our brother251 Elimelech's:458

4  And I589 thought559 to advertise1540 241 thee, saying,559 Buy7069 it before5048 the inhabitants,3427 and before5048 the elders2205 of my people.5971 If518 thou wilt redeem1350 it, redeem1350 it: but if518 thou wilt not3808 redeem1350 it, then tell5046 me, that I may know:3045 for3588 there is none369 to redeem1350 it beside2108 thee; and I595 am after310 thee. And he said,559 I595 will redeem1350 it.

5  Then said559 Boaz,1162 What day3117 thou buyest7069 the field7704 of the hand4480 3027 of Naomi,5281 thou must buy7069 it also of4480 854 Ruth7327 the Moabitess,4125 the wife802 of the dead,4191 to raise up6965 the name8034 of the dead4191 upon5921 his inheritance.5159

6  And the kinsman1350 said,559 I cannot3808 3201 redeem1350 it for myself, lest6435 I mar7843 853 mine own inheritance:5159 redeem1350 thou859 853 my right1353 to thyself; for3588 I cannot3808 3201 redeem1350 it.

7  Now this2063 was the manner in former time6440 in Israel3478 concerning5921 redeeming1353 and concerning5921 changing,8545 for to confirm6965 all3605 things;1697 a man376 plucked off8025 his shoe,5275 and gave5414 it to his neighbor:7453 and this2063 was a testimony8584 in Israel.3478

8  Therefore the kinsman1350 said559 unto Boaz,1162 Buy7069 it for thee. So he drew off8025 his shoe.5275

9  And Boaz1162 said559 unto the elders,2205 and unto all3605 the people,5971 Ye859 are witnesses5707 this day,3117 that3588 I have bought7069 853 all3605 that834 was Elimelech's,458 and all3605 that834 was Chilion's3630 and Mahlon's,4248 of the hand4480 3027 of Naomi.5281

10  Moreover1571 853 Ruth7327 the Moabitess,4125 the wife802 of Mahlon,4248 have I purchased7069 to be my wife,802 to raise up6965 the name8034 of the dead4191 upon5921 his inheritance,5159 that the name8034 of the dead4191 be not3808 cut off3772 from among4480 5973 his brethren,251 and from the gate4480 8179 of his place:4725 ye859 are witnesses5707 this day.3117

11  And all3605 the people5971 that834 were in the gate,8179 and the elders,2205 said,559 We are witnesses.5707 The LORD3068 make5414 853 the woman802 that is come935 into413 thine house1004 like Rachel7354 and like Leah,3812 which834 two8147 did build1129 853 the house1004 of Israel:3478 and do6213 thou worthily2428 in Ephratah,672 and be famous7121 8034 in Bethlehem:1035

12  And let thy house1004 be1961 like the house1004 of Pharez,6557 whom834 Tamar8559 bore3205 unto Judah,3063 of4480 the seed2233 which834 the LORD3068 shall give5414 thee of4480 this2063 young woman.5291

13  So Boaz1162 took3947 853 Ruth,7327 and she was1961 his wife:802 and when he went935 in unto413 her, the LORD3068 gave5414 her conception,2032 and she bore3205 a son.1121

14  And the women802 said559 unto413 Naomi,5281 Blessed1288 be the LORD,3068 which834 hath not3808 left7673 thee this day3117 without a kinsman,1350 that his name8034 may be famous7121 in Israel.3478

15  And he shall be1961 unto thee a restorer7725 of thy life,5315 and a nourisher3557 of 853 thine old age:7872 for3588 thy daughter-in-law,3618 which834 loveth157 thee, which834 is better2896 to thee than seven4480 7651 sons,1121 hath born3205 him.

16  And Naomi5281 took3947 853 the child,3206 and laid7896 it in her bosom,2436 and became1961 nurse539 unto it.

17  And the women her neighbors7934 gave7121 it a name,8034 saying,559 There is a son1121 born3205 to Naomi;5281 and they called7121 his name8034 Obed:5744 he1931 is the father1 of Jesse,3448 the father1 of David.1732

18  Now these428 are the generations8435 of Pharez:6557 Pharez6557 begot3205 853 Hezron,2696

19  And Hezron2696 begot3205 853 Ram,7410 and Ram7410 853 begot3205 Amminadab,5992

20  And Amminadab5992 begot3205 853 Nahshon,5177 and Nahshon5177 begot3205 853 Salmon,8009

21  And Salmon8012 begot3205 853 Boaz,1162 and Boaz1162 begot3205 853 Obed,5744

22  And Obed5744 begot3205 853 Jesse,3448 and Jesse3448 begot3205 853 David.1732

1 καὶ Βοος ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ ἀγχιστευτὴς παρεπορεύετο ὃν εἶπεν Βοος καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Βοος ἐκκλίνας κάθισον ὧδε κρύφιε καὶ ἐξέκλινεν καὶ ἐκάθισεν

2 καὶ ἔλαβεν Βοος δέκα ἄνδρας ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τῆς πόλεως καὶ εἶπεν καθίσατε ὧδε καὶ ἐκάθισαν

3 καὶ εἶπεν Βοος τῷ ἀγχιστεῖ τὴν μερίδα τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἥ ἐστιν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ἡμῶν τοῦ Αβιμελεχ ἣ δέδοται Νωεμιν τῇ ἐπιστρεφούσῃ ἐξ ἀγροῦ Μωαβ

4 κἀγὼ εἶπα ἀποκαλύψω τὸ οὖς σου λέγων κτῆσαι ἐναντίον τῶν καθημένων καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ μου εἰ ἀγχιστεύεις ἀγχίστευε εἰ δὲ μὴ ἀγχιστεύεις ἀνάγγειλόν μοι καὶ γνώσομαι ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν πάρεξ σοῦ τοῦ ἀγχιστεῦσαι κἀγώ εἰμι μετὰ σέ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ἐγώ εἰμι ἀγχιστεύσω

5 καὶ εἶπεν Βοος ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ κτήσασθαί σε τὸν ἀγρὸν ἐκ χειρὸς Νωεμιν καὶ παρὰ Ρουθ τῆς Μωαβίτιδος γυναικὸς τοῦ τεθνηκότος καὶ αὐτὴν κτήσασθαί σε δεῖ ὥστε ἀναστῆσαι τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τεθνηκότος ἐπὶ τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ

6 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀγχιστεύς οὐ δυνήσομαι ἀγχιστεῦσαι ἐμαυτῷ μήποτε διαφθείρω τὴν κληρονομίαν μου ἀγχίστευσον σεαυτῷ τὴν ἀγχιστείαν μου ὅτι οὐ δυνήσομαι ἀγχιστεῦσαι

7 καὶ τοῦτο τὸ δικαίωμα ἔμπροσθεν ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ ἐπὶ τὴν ἀγχιστείαν καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἀντάλλαγμα τοῦ στῆσαι πᾶν λόγον καὶ ὑπελύετο ὁ ἀνὴρ τὸ ὑπόδημα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐδίδου τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ τῷ ἀγχιστεύοντι τὴν ἀγχιστείαν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦτο ἦν μαρτύριον ἐν Ισραηλ

8 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀγχιστεὺς τῷ Βοος κτῆσαι σεαυτῷ τὴν ἀγχιστείαν μου καὶ ὑπελύσατο τὸ ὑπόδημα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ

9 καὶ εἶπεν Βοος τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ μάρτυρες ὑμεῖς σήμερον ὅτι κέκτημαι πάντα τὰ τοῦ Αβιμελεχ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ὑπάρχει τῷ Χελαιων καὶ τῷ Μααλων ἐκ χειρὸς Νωεμιν

10 καί γε Ρουθ τὴν Μωαβῖτιν τὴν γυναῖκα Μααλων κέκτημαι ἐμαυτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀναστῆσαι τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τεθνηκότος ἐπὶ τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐξολεθρευθήσεται τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τεθνηκότος ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς λαοῦ αὐτοῦ μάρτυρες ὑμεῖς σήμερον

11 καὶ εἴποσαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς οἱ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ μάρτυρες καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι εἴποσαν δῴη κύριος τὴν γυναῖκά σου τὴν εἰσπορευομένην εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου ὡς Ραχηλ καὶ ὡς Λειαν αἳ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἀμφότεραι τὸν οἶκον Ισραηλ καὶ ἐποίησαν δύναμιν ἐν Εφραθα καὶ ἔσται ὄνομα ἐν Βαιθλεεμ

12 καὶ γένοιτο ὁ οἶκός σου ὡς ὁ οἶκος Φαρες ὃν ἔτεκεν Θαμαρ τῷ Ιουδα ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος οὗ δώσει κύριός σοι ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης ταύτης

13 καὶ ἔλαβεν Βοος τὴν Ρουθ καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτήν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ κύριος κύησιν καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν

14 καὶ εἶπαν αἱ γυναῖκες πρὸς Νωεμιν εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὃς οὐ κατέλυσέ σοι σήμερον τὸν ἀγχιστέα καὶ καλέσαι τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν Ισραηλ

15 καὶ ἔσται σοι εἰς ἐπιστρέφοντα ψυχὴν καὶ τοῦ διαθρέψαι τὴν πολιάν σου ὅτι ἡ νύμφη σου ἡ ἀγαπήσασά σε ἔτεκεν αὐτόν ἥ ἐστιν ἀγαθή σοι ὑπὲρ ἑπτὰ υἱούς

16 καὶ ἔλαβεν Νωεμιν τὸ παιδίον καὶ ἔθηκεν εἰς τὸν κόλπον αὐτῆς καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ εἰς τιθηνόν

17 καὶ ἐκάλεσαν αὐτοῦ αἱ γείτονες ὄνομα λέγουσαι ἐτέχθη υἱὸς τῇ Νωεμιν καὶ ἐκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ωβηδ οὗτος πατὴρ Ιεσσαι πατρὸς Δαυιδ

18 καὶ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Φαρες Φαρες ἐγέννησεν τὸν Εσρων

19 Εσρων δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Αρραν καὶ Αρραν ἐγέννησεν τὸν Αμιναδαβ

20 καὶ Αμιναδαβ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ναασσων καὶ Ναασσων ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαλμαν

21 καὶ Σαλμαν ἐγέννησεν τὸν Βοος καὶ Βοος ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ωβηδ

22 καὶ Ωβηδ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ιεσσαι καὶ Ιεσσαι ἐγέννησεν τὸν Δαυιδ

1 Ascendit ergo Booz ad portam, et sedit ibi. Cumque vidisset propinquum præterire, de quo prius sermo habitus est, dixit ad eum: Declina paulisper, et sede hic: vocans eum nomine suo. Qui divertit, et sedit.

2 Tollens autem Booz decem viros de senioribus civitatis, dixit ad eos: Sedete hic.

3 Quibus sedentibus, locutus est ad propinquum: Partem agri fratris nostri Elimelech vendet Noëmi, quæ reversa est de regione Moabitide:

4 quod audire te volui, et tibi dicere coram cunctis sedentibus, et majoribus natu de populo meo. Si vis possidere jure propinquitatis, eme, et posside: sin autem displicet tibi, hoc ipsum indica mihi, ut sciam quid facere debeam: nullus enim est propinquus, excepto te, qui prior es, et me, qui secundus sum. At ille respondit: Ego agrum emam.

5 Cui dixit Booz: Quando emeris agrum de manu mulieris, Ruth quoque Moabitidem, quæ uxor defuncti fuit, debes accipere: ut suscites nomen propinqui tui in hæreditate sua.

6 Qui respondit: Cedo juri propinquitatis: neque enim posteritatem familiæ meæ delere debeo: tu meo utere privilegio, quo me libenter carere profiteor.

7 Hic autem erat mos antiquitus in Israël inter propinquos, ut siquando alter alteri suo juri cedebat, ut esset firma concessio, solvebat homo calceamentum suum, et dabat proximo suo: hoc erat testimonium cessionis in Israël.

8 Dixit ergo propinquo suo Booz: Tolle calceamentum tuum. Quod statim solvit de pede suo.

9 At ille majoribus natu, et universo populo: Testes vos, inquit, estis hodie, quod possederim omnis quæ fuerunt Elimelech, et Chelion, et Mahalon, tradente Noëmi;

10 et Ruth Moabitidem, uxorem Mahalon, in conjugium sumpserim, ut suscitem nomen defuncti in hæreditate sua, ne vocabulum ejus de familia sua ac fratribus et populo deleatur. Vos, inquam, hujus rei testes estis.

11 Respondit omnis populus, qui erat in porta, et majores natu: Nos testes sumus: faciat Dominus hanc mulierem, quæ ingreditur domum tuam, sicut Rachel et Liam, quæ ædificaverunt domum Israël: ut sit exemplum virtutis in Ephratha, et habeat celebre nomen in Bethlehem:

12 fiatque domus tua sicut domus Phares, quem Thamar peperit Judæ, de semine quod tibi dederit Dominus ex hac puella.

13 Tulit itaque Booz Ruth, et accepit uxorem: ingressusque est ad eam, et dedit illi Dominus ut conciperet, et pareret filium.

14 Dixeruntque mulieres ad Noëmi: Benedictus Dominus, qui non est passus ut deficeret successor familiæ tuæ, et vocaretur nomen ejus in Israël:

15 et habeas qui consoletur animam tuam, et enutriat senectutem: de nuru enim tua natus est, quæ te diligit, et multo tibi melior est, quam si septem haberes filios.

16 Susceptumque Noëmi puerum posuit in sinu suo, et nutricis ac gerulæ fungebatur officio.

17 Vicinæ autem mulieris congratulantes ei, et dicentes: Natus est filius Noëmi: vocaverunt nomen ejus Obed: hic est pater Isai, patris David.

18 Hæ sunt generationes Phares: Phares genuit Esron,

19 Esron genuit Aram, Aram genuit Aminadab,

20 Aminadab genuit Nahasson, Nahasson genuit Salmon,

21 Salmon genuit Booz, Booz genuit Obed,

22 Obed genuit Isai, Isai genuit David.
