1 فصعد بوعز الى الباب وجلس هناك واذا بالولي الذي تكلم عنه بوعز عابر. فقال مل واجلس هنا انت يا فلان الفلاني فمال وجلس.2 ثم اخذ عشرة رجال من شيوخ المدينة وقال لهم اجلسوا هنا فجلسوا.3 ثم قال للولي ان نعمي التي رجعت من بلاد موآب تبيع قطعة الحقل التي لاخينا اليمالك.4 فقلت اني اخبرك قائلا اشتر قدام الجالسين وقدام شيوخ شعبي. فان كنت تفكّ ففكّ. وان كنت لا تفكّ فاخبرني لاعلم لانه ليس غيرك يفك وانا بعدك. فقال اني افكّ.5 فقال بوعز يوم تشتري الحقل من يد نعمي تشتري ايضا من يد راعوث الموآبية امرأة الميت لتقيم اسم الميت على ميراثه.6 فقال الولي لا اقدر ان افك لنفسي لئلا افسد ميراثي. ففكّ انت لنفسك فكاكي لاني لا اقدر ان افكّ.7 وهذه هي العادة سابقا في اسرائيل في امر الفكاك والمبادلة لاجل اثبات كل امر يخلع الرجل نعله ويعطيه لصاحبه. فهذه هي العادة في اسرائيل.8 فقال الولي لبوعز اشتر لنفسك. وخلع نعله9 فقال بوعز للشيوخ ولجميع الشعب انتم شهود اليوم اني قد اشتريت كل ما لاليمالك وكل ما لكليون ومحلون من يد نعمي.10 وكذا راعوث الموآبية امرأة محلون قد اشتريتها لي امرأة لاقيم اسم الميت على ميراثه ولا ينقرض اسم الميت من بين اخوته ومن باب مكانه. انتم شهود اليوم.11 فقال جميع الشعب الذين في الباب والشيوخ نحن شهود. فليجعل الرب المرأة الداخلة الى بيتك كراحيل وكليئة اللتين بنتا بيت اسرائيل. فاصنع ببأس في افراتة وكن ذا اسم في بيت لحم.12 وليكن بيتك كبيت فارص الذي ولدته ثامار ليهوذا من النسل الذي يعطيك الرب من هذه الفتاة13 فاخذ بوعز راعوث امرأة ودخل عليها فاعطاها الرب حبلا فولدت ابنا.14 فقالت النساء لنعمي مبارك الرب الذي لم يعدمك وليّا اليوم لكي يدعى اسمه في اسرائيل.15 ويكون لك لارجاع نفس واعالة شيبتك. لان كنتك التي احبتك قد ولدته وهي خير لك من سبعة بنين.16 فأخذت نعمي الولد ووضعته في حضنها وصارت له مربّية.17 وسمّته الجارات اسما قائلات قد ولد ابن لنعمي ودعون اسمه عوبيد. هو ابو يسّى ابي داود18 وهذه مواليد فارص. فارص ولد حصرون.19 وحصرون ولد رام ورام ولد عميناداب.20 وعميناداب ولد نحشون ونحشون ولد سلمون.21 وسلمون ولد بوعز وبوعز ولد عوبيد22 وعوبيد ولد يسّى ويسّى ولد داود

1 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to 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 you down here. And they sat down.3 And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, sells a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech':4 And I thought to advertise you, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, 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 none to redeem it beside you; and I am after you. And he said, I will redeem it.5 Then said Boaz, What day you buy the field of the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance: redeem you my right to yourself; 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 neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel.8 Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for you. So he drew off his shoe.9 And Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech', and all that was Chilion' and Mahlon', 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 on his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place: you 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 your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do you worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:12 And let your house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give you of this young woman.13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in to her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.14 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which has not left you this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.15 And he shall be to you a restorer of your life, and a nourisher of your old age: for your daughter in law, which loves you, which is better to you than seven sons, has born him.16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.17 And the women her neighbors 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.
