13 Recebeu Boaz a Rute, e ela veio a ser sua mulher. Ele a conheceu, e Jeová concedeu-lhe a ela graça de conceber, e dar à luz um filho.

14 Disseram as mulheres a Noemi: Bendito seja Jeová, que não te deixou hoje sem um parente chegado; e torne-se o seu nome célebre em Israel.

15 Ele será restaurador da tua vida, e consolador da tua velhice, porque nasceu de tua nora, que te ama, e ela te é melhor do que sete filhos.

16 Noemi tomou o menino, pô-lo no seu regaço e fazia-lhe as vezes de ama.

17 As mulheres suas vizinhas deram-lhe nome, dizendo: Nasceu um filho a Noemi. Chamaram ao menino Obede. Ele é o pai de Jessé, pai de Davi.

18 Estas são as gerações de Perez: Perez gerou a Hezrom;

19 Hezrom gerou a Rão, e Rão gerou a Aminadabe;

20 Aminadabe gerou a Naassom, e Naassom gerou a Salmom;

21 Salmom gerou a Boaz, e Boaz gerou a Obed;

22 Obed gerou a Jessé, e Jessé gerou a David.

13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Yahweh enabled her to conceive, and she bore a son. 14 The women said to Naomi, "Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let his name be famous in Israel. 15 He 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." 16 Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and became nurse to him. 17 The 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.

18 Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron, 19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab, 20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon, 21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed, 22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
