¹Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He turned aside, and sat down.

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.

²He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here.” They sat down.

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

³He said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s.

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

⁴I thought to disclose it to you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.” He said, “I will redeem it.”

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.

⁵Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”

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.

⁶The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t redeem it.”

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

⁷Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of attestation in Israel.

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.

⁸So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.” He took off his shoe.

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

⁹Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, “You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.

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.

¹⁰Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses this day.”

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.

¹¹All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.

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.

¹²Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Yahweh shall give you of this young woman.”

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

¹³So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Yahweh gave her conception, and she bore a son.

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

¹⁴The 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.

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

¹⁵He 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 borne him.”

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.

¹⁶Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.

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

¹⁷The women, her neighbors, gave him 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.

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

¹⁸Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,

¹⁸A toto sú rody Pérecove: Pérec splodil Checróna,

¹⁹and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,

¹⁹Checrón splodil Ráma, a Rám splodil Amminadába,

²⁰and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,

²⁰Amminadáb splodil Nachšóna, a Nachšón splodil Salmu,

²¹and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,

²¹Salmón splodil Boaza, a Boaz splodil Obéda

²²and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.

²²a Obéd splodil Izaiho, a Izai splodil Dávida.
