Rut 4
Nova Versão de Acesso Livre
1Boaz subiu até o portão e sentou-se ali. Logo, o parente mais próximo de quem Boaz havia falado passou. Boaz disse-lhe: "Meu amigo, vem cá e senta-te aqui". O homem veio e sentou-se.
2Então Boaz chamou dez homens dentre os anciãos da cidade e disse-lhes: "Sentai-vos aqui". Assim todos se sentaram.
3Boaz disse para o parente mais próximo: "Noemi, que voltou da cidade de Moabe, está vendendo seu pedaço de terra, que era do nosso irmão Elimeleque.
4Resolvi te informar disso e dizer-te: 'Compra-a na presença dos que estão aqui sentados e na presença dos anciãos do meu povo'. Se tu desejas resgatá-la, resgata-a. Mas, se tu não desejas resgatá-la, então me fala, para que eu saiba, pois não existe ninguém para resgatá-la além de ti, e depois de ti, só eu". Então ele respondeu: "Eu a resgatarei".
5Então, Boaz disse: "No dia que tu comprares o campo das mãos de Noemi, tu deverás também tomar Rute, a moabita, que foi esposa do falecido, para preservar o nome dele na sua herança".
6Então, o parente mais próximo disse: "Eu não posso resgatá-la para mim mesmo, sem danificar a minha própria herança. Exerce tu o meu direito de redentor para ti mesmo, porque eu não posso resgatá-la".
7Antigamente, este era o costume em Israel com respeito ao resgate e a transferência de bens. Para validar o negócio, o homem tirava a sua sandália e a entregava ao outro; essa era a maneira de fazer acordos legais em Israel.
8Assim, o parente mais próximo disse para Boaz: "Comprai-a para ti mesmo". E ele tirou sua sandália.
9Então Boaz disse para os anciãos e para todo o povo: "Vós testemunhais hoje que eu tenho comprado das mãos de Noemi tudo o que era de Elimeleque e tudo o que era de Quiliom e Malom.
10Além disso, sobre Rute, a moabita, a mulher de Malom, eu também adquiri o direito de ter ela como minha esposa, para preservar o nome do falecido na sua herança. Assim, o nome dele não será cortado do meio de seus irmãos e do portão da sua cidade. Vós sois testemunhas hoje".
11Todas as pessoas que estavam no portão e os anciãos disseram: "Nós somos testemunhas. Que Yahweh faça com esta mulher que está entrando na tua família como fez com Raquel e Lia: as duas edificaram a casa de Israel. Que prosperes em Efrata e sejas famoso em Belém.
12Que tua família seja como a de Perez, o qual Tamar teve de Judá, através da descendência que Yahweh dará para ti com essa jovem mulher".
13Assim Boaz casou-se com Rute e ela se tornou sua esposa. Ele a conheceu intimamente. Yahweh permitiu que ela engravidasse e ela deu à luz um filho.
14As mulheres disseram para Noemi: "Bendito seja Yahweh, que hoje não te deixou sem um resgatador. Que o seu nome seja famoso em Israel.
15Que ele seja para ti um restaurador da vida e um consolador para tua velhice, pois tua nora, que te ama e que é melhor para ti do que sete filhos, deu à luz a ele".
16Então Noemi pegou o menino, colocou-o em seu colo e passou a cuidar dele.
17Suas vizinhas deram um nome para ele, dizendo: "Um filho nasceu para Noemi". E chamaram-no de Obede. Ele tornou-se o pai de Jessé, que tornou-se pai de Davi.
18Estas são as descendências de Perez: Perez gerou Hezrom,
19Hezrom gerou Rão, Rão gerou Aminadabe,
20Aminadabe gerou Nasom, Nasom gerou Salmom,
21Salmom gerou Boaz, Boaz gerou Obede,
22Obede gerou Jessé, e Jessé gerou Davi.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y BOOZ subió á la puerta y sentóse allí: y he aquí pasaba aquel pariente del cual había Booz hablado, y díjole: Eh, fulano, ven acá y siéntate. Y él vino, y sentóse.
2Entonces él tomó diez varones de los ancianos de la ciudad, y dijo: Sentaos aquí. Y ellos se sentaron.
3Luego dijo al pariente: Noemi, que ha vuelto del campo de Moab, vende una parte de las tierras que tuvo nuestro hermano Elimelech;
4Y yo decidí hacértelo saber, y decirte que la tomes delante de los que están aquí sentados, y delante de los ancianos de mi pueblo. Si hubieres de redimir, redime; y si no quisieres redimir, decláramelo para que yo lo sepa: porque no hay otro que redima sino tú, y yo después de ti. Y él respondió: Yo redimiré.
5Entonces replicó Booz: El mismo día que tomares las tierras de mano de Noemi, has de tomar también á Ruth Moabita, mujer del difunto, para que suscites el nombre del muerto sobre su posesión.
6Y respondió el pariente: No puedo redimir por mi parte, porque echaría á perder mi heredad: redime tú usando de mi derecho, porque yo no podré redimir.
7Había ya de largo tiempo esta costumbre en Israel en la redención ó contrato, que para la confirmación de cualquier negocio, el uno se quitaba el zapato y lo daba á su compañero: y este era el testimonio en Israel.
8Entonces el pariente dijo á Booz: Tómalo tú. Y descalzó su zapato.
9Y Booz dijo á los ancianos y á todo el pueblo: Vosotros sois hoy testigos de que tomo todas las cosas que fueron de Elimelech, y todo lo que fué de Chelión y de Mahalón, de mano de Noemi;
10Y que también tomo por mi mujer á Ruth Moabita, mujer de Mahalón, para suscitar el nombre del difunto sobre su heredad, para que el nombre del muerto no se borre de entre sus hermanos y de la puerta de su lugar. Vosotros sois hoy testigos.
11Y dijeron todos los del pueblo que estaban á la puerta con los ancianos: Testigos somos. Jehová haga á la mujer que entra en tu casa como á Rachêl y á Lea, las cuales dos edificaron la casa de Israel; y tú seas ilustre en Ephrata, y tengas nombradía en Beth-lehem;
12Y de la simiente que Jehová te diere de aquesta moza, sea tu casa como la casa de Phares, al que parió Thamar á Judá.
13Booz pues tomó á Ruth, y ella fué su mujer; y luego que entró á ella, Jehová le dió que concibiese y pariese un hijo.
14Y las mujeres decían á Noemi: Loado sea Jehová, que hizo que no te faltase hoy pariente, cuyo nombre será nombrado en Israel.
15El cual será restaurador de tu alma, y el que sustentará tu vejez; pues que tu nuera, la cual te ama y te vale más que siete hijos, le ha parido.
16Y tomando Noemi el hijo, púsolo en su regazo, y fuéle su ama.
17Y las vecinas diciendo, A Noemi ha nacido un hijo, le pusieron nombre; y llamáronle Obed. Este es padre de Isaí, padre de David.
18Y estas son las generaciones de Phares: Phares engendró á Hesrón;
19Y Hesrón engendró á Ram, y Ram engendró á Aminadab;
20Y Aminadab engendró á Nahasón, y Nahasón engendró á Salmón;
21Y Salmón engendró á Booz, y Booz engendró á Obed;
22Y Obed engendró á Isaí, é Isaí engendró á David.
King James Version
1Then 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.
2And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
3And 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:
4And 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.
5Then 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.
6And 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.
7Now 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.
8Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
9And 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.
10Moreover 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.
11And 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 Beth-lehem:
12And 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.
13So 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.
14And 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.
15And 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.
16And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
17And 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.
18Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
19And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
20And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
21And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
22And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
World English Bible
1Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, and sat down.
2Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here,” and they sat down.
3He said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s.
4I thought I should tell you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.” He said, “I will redeem it.”
5Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”
6The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I endanger my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t redeem it.”
7Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of formalizing transactions in Israel.
8So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” then he took off his sandal.
9Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.
10Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”
11All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
12Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the LORD will give you by this young woman.”
13So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she bore a son.
14The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let his name be famous in Israel.
15He shall be to you a restorer of life and sustain you in your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”
16Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and became nurse to him.
17The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi”. They named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
19and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
20and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
21and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
22and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
