13 So 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. 14 The 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. 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.

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.
