13 E assim Boaz casou com Rute. Ela concebeu e teve um filho. As mulheres da cidade disseram a Noemi: Bendito seja o Senhor que te deu este netinho; que ele possa vir a ser famoso em Israel. Que venha a dar-te novamente a juventude da alma e seja o teu apoio na velhice; pois é filho da tua nora que tanto te ama e que foi para ti mais afectuosa do que sete filhos!
16 Noemi criou ela própria o menino, e as vizinhas diziam: Noemi é como se tivesse sido novamente mãe! E deram ao bebé o nome de Obede. Foi ele o pai de Jessé e o avô do rei David.
18 É esta a sequência da árvore genealógica, começando com Perez: Perez, Hezrom, Rão, Aminadabe, Nassom, Salmom, Boaz, Obede, Jessé, David.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Yahweh gave her conception, and she bore a son.
14 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left you this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel.
15 And he will be to you a restorer of life, and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and was its nurse.
17 And her women neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they named him Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begot Hezron,
19 and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,
20 and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmah,
21 and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
22 and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
