¹And Boaz hath gone up to the gate, and sitteth there, and lo, the redeemer is passing by of whom Boaz had spoken, and he saith, `Turn aside, sit down here, such a one, such a one;` and he turneth aside and sitteth down.

¹Ja Boas läks väravasse ning istus seal; ja vaata, see lunastaja läks mööda, kellest Boas oli rääkinud, ja Boas ütles: 'Tule istu siia, sina, mis su nimi nüüd ongi!' Ja see pöördus ning istus.

²And he taketh ten men of the elders of the city, and saith, `Sit down here;` and they sit down.

²Ja Boas võttis kümme meest linna vanemaist ning ütles: 'Istuge siia!' Ja need istusid.

³And he saith to the redeemer, `A portion of the field which [is] to our brother, to Elimelech, hath Naomi sold, who hath come back from the fields of Moab;

³Siis ta ütles lunastajale: 'Noomi, kes tuli tagasi Moabi väljadelt, tahab ära müüa põlluosa, mis kuulus meie vennale Elimelekile.

⁴and I said, I uncover thine ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people; if thou dost redeem — redeem, and if none doth redeem — declare to me, and I know, for there is none save thee to redeem, and I after thee.` And he saith, I redeem [it].`

⁴Siis ma mõtlesin, et ma teatan sulle ja ütlen: Osta see nende ees, kes siin istuvad, ja mu rahva vanemate ees! Kui sa tahad lunastada, siis lunasta, aga kui sa ei taha lunastada, siis avalda mulle, et ma teaksin, sest peale sinu pole kedagi, kes võiks lunastada, ja sinu järel olen mina!' Ja ta ütles: 'Mina lunastan!'

⁵And Boaz saith, `In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, thou hast bought [it], to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance.`

⁵Siis ütles Boas: 'Sel päeval, kui sa ostad Noomilt põllu, ostad sa selle ka moabi naiselt Rutilt, surnu naiselt, surnu nime taastamiseks tema pärisosal.'

⁶And the redeemer saith, `I am not able to redeem [it] for myself, lest I destroy mine inheritance; redeem for thyself — thou — my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.`

⁶Aga lunastaja ütles: 'Ma ei saa siis seda enesele lunastada, et mitte rikkuda oma pärisosa. Lunasta sina enesele see, mida mina pidin lunastama, sest mina ei saa lunastada!'

⁷And this [is] formerly in Israel for redemption and for changing, to establish anything: a man hath drawn off his sandal, and given [it] to his neighbour, and this [is] the testimony in Israel.

⁷Vanasti oli Iisraelis vabaksostu ja vahetuse puhul kogu asja kinnituseks seesugune viis: üks tõmbas sandaali jalast ja andis teisele; see oli Iisraelis tõendiks.

⁸And the redeemer saith to Boaz, `Buy [it] for thyself,` and draweth off his sandal.

⁸Ja lunastaja ütles Boasele: 'Osta enesele!' ning tõmbas sandaali jalast.

⁹And Boaz saith to the elders, and [to] all the people, `Witnesses [are] ye to-day that I have bought all that [is] to Elimelech, and all that [is] to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi;

⁹Siis Boas ütles vanemaile ja kogu rahvale: 'Te olete täna tunnistajad, et ma olen ostnud Noomilt kõik, mis kuulus Elimelekile, ja kõik, mis kuulus Kiljonile ja Mahlonile.

¹⁰and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place; witnesses ye [are] to-day.`

¹⁰Ka olen ma moabi naise Ruti, Mahloni naise, ostnud enesele naiseks, et taastada surnu nimi ta pärisosal, et ei kaoks surnu nimi ta vendade hulgast ega ta kodukoha väravast; te olete täna selle tunnistajad.'

¹¹And all the people who [are] in the gate say — also the elders — `Witnesses! Jehovah make the woman who is coming in unto thy house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and do thou virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the Name in Beth-Lehem;

¹¹Ja kogu rahvas, kes oli väravas, samuti vanemad, ütlesid: 'Meie oleme tunnistajad. Issand tehku naine, kes tuleb su kotta, Raaheli ja Lea sarnaseks, kes mõlemad ehitasid Iisraeli koja! Tee vägevaid tegusid Efratas, tee oma nimi kuulsaks Petlemmas!

¹²and let thy house be as the house of Pharez (whom Tamar bare to Judah), of the seed which Jehovah doth give to thee of this young woman.`

¹²Ja saagu su sugu Peretsi soo sarnaseks, kelle Taamar sünnitas Juudale, seemnest, mille Issand sulle annab sellest noorikust!'

¹³And Boaz taketh Ruth, and she becometh his wife, and he goeth in unto her, and Jehovah giveth to her conception, and she beareth a son.

¹³Ja Boas võttis Ruti ning see sai tema naiseks; Boas heitis ta juurde ja Issand andis, et Rutt jäi lapseootele ja tõi poja ilmale.

¹⁴And the women say unto Naomi, `Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not let a redeemer cease to thee to-day, and his name is proclaimed in Israel,

¹⁴Siis ütlesid naised Noomile: 'Kiidetud olgu Issand, kes täna ei jätnud sind lunastajata! Saagu ta nimi kuulsaks Iisraelis!

¹⁵and he hath been to thee for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law who hath loved thee — who is better to thee than seven sons — hath borne him.`

¹⁵Saagu ta sulle hingejahutajaks ja toitjaks su vanas eas, sest su minia, kes sind armastab, on ta sünnitanud, tema, kes sulle on parem kui seitse poega!'

¹⁶And Naomi taketh the lad, and layeth him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse;

¹⁶Siis Noomi võttis lapse, pani oma sülle ja sai tema hoidjaks.

¹⁷and the neighbouring women give to him a name, saying, `There hath been a son born to Naomi,` and they call his name Obed; he [is] father of Jesse, father of David.

¹⁷Ja naabrinaised panid temale nime, öeldes: 'Noomile sündinud poeg!' Ja nad panid temale nimeks Oobed; temast sai Taaveti isa Iisai isa.

¹⁸And these are genealogies of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

¹⁸Ja need on Peretsi järeltulijad: Peretsile sündis Hesron;

¹⁹and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab,

¹⁹Hesronile sündis Raam ja Raamile sündis Amminadab;

²⁰and Amminidab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

²⁰Amminadabile sündis Nahson ja Nahsonile sündis Salma;

²¹and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

²¹Salmale sündis Boas ja Boasele sündis Oobed;

²²and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.

²²Oobedile sündis Iisai ja Iisaile sündis Taavet.
