¹A Boaz odišiel hore do brány a sadol si tam. A hľa, práve išiel tade výkupník, o ktorom hovoril Boaz, a riekol mu: Ty, ten a ten, nože sa uchýľ sem a sadni si tuto. A uchýlil sa a sadol si.

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.

²A Boaz vzal desiatich mužov zo starších mesta a povedal: Sadnite tu! A sadli.

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

³Potom riekol výkupníkovi: Čiastku poľa, ktorá patrila nášmu bratovi Elimelechovi, predala Naoma, ktorá sa navrátila z moábskeho kraja.

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;

⁴A ja som povedal, že ti to oznámim a poviem: Kúp si pred sediacimi tu a pred staršími môjho ľudu. Ak vykúpiš, vykúp. A jestli nevykúpiš, oznám mi, aby som vedel, lebo krome teba nieto nikoho, kto by vykúpil, a ja idem po tebe. A povedal: Ja vykúpim.

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].`

⁵A Boaz riekol: Toho dňa, ktorého kúpiš pole z ruky Naomy, kúpiš aj od Ruti Moábskej, ženy zomrelého, aby si vzbudil meno zomrelému na jeho dedičstve.

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.`

⁶Vtedy povedal výkupník: Nemôžem vykúpiť pre seba, aby som nezahubil svojho dedičstva. Vykúp si ty moje výkupné, lebo ja by som ho nemohol vykúpiť.

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.`

⁷A to bol spôsob predtým v Izraelovi pri výkupe alebo pri zámene postaviť pevne každú takú vec, že človek vyzul svoju obuv a dal svojmu blížnemu, a to bolo svedoctvom v Izraelovi.

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.

⁸A tak povedal výkupník Boazovi: Kúp si! A vyzul svoju obuv.

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

⁹Vtedy riekol Boaz starším a všetkému ľudu: Vy ste svedkami dnes, že som kúpil všetko, čo patrilo Elimelechovi i všetko, čo patrilo Kiljonovi i Machlónovi, z ruky Naomy.

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;

¹⁰I Ruť Moábsku, ženu Machlónovu, nadobudol som si za ženu, aby som vzbudil meno zomrelého na jeho dedičstve, a aby nebolo vyhladené meno zomrelého zpomedzi jeho bratov a z brány jeho miesta. Vy ste svedkami dnes.

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.`

¹¹Na to riekol všetok ľud, ktorý bol v bráne, i starší: Svedkami. Hospodin nech dá, aby žena, ktorá prijde do tvojho domu, bola jako Rácheľ a jako Lea, ktoré dve vzbudovaly dom Izraelov! A počínaj si zmužile v Efrate a nadobudni slávneho mena v Betleheme.

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;

¹²A nech stane sa tvoj dom ako dom Péreca, ktorého porodila Támar Júdovi, zo semena, ktoré ti dá Hospodin od tejto mladice.

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.`

¹³A tak si vzal Boaz Ruť, a bola jeho ženou, a vošiel k nej. A Hospodin jej dal tehotenstvo, a porodila syna.

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.

¹⁴Vtedy riekly ženy Naome: Požehnaný Hospodin, ktorý nedopustil, aby si dnes nemala výkupníka! A nech je slávne jeho meno v Izraelovi!

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,

¹⁵A bude ti na to, aby občerstvoval tvoju dušu a aby ťa zaopatroval v tvojej starobe, lebo tvoja nevesta, ktorá ťa miluje a ktorá ti je lepšia ako sedem synov, ho porodila.

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.`

¹⁶A Naoma vezmúc dieťa položila ho do svojho lona a bola mu pestúnkou.

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

¹⁷A súsedy mu daly meno a riekly: Syn sa narodil Naome! A nazvaly jeho meno Obéd. On je otec Izaiho, otca Dávidovho.

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.

¹⁸A toto sú rody Pérecove: Pérec splodil Checróna,

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

¹⁹Checrón splodil Ráma, a Rám splodil Amminadába,

¹⁹and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab,

²⁰Amminadáb splodil Nachšóna, a Nachšón splodil Salmu,

²⁰and Amminidab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

²¹Salmón splodil Boaza, a Boaz splodil Obéda

²¹and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

²²a Obéd splodil Izaiho, a Izai splodil Dávida.

²²and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
