第4章

1 波阿斯到了城門，坐下［down］在那裏。恰巧波阿斯所說的那至近的親屬經過；波阿斯說：「某人哪。你轉來［turn aside］，在這裏坐下［sit down there］。」他轉來［turned aside］坐下。

2 波阿斯又從本城的長老中揀選了十人，對他們說：「請你們坐在這裏。」他們就都坐下。

3 波阿斯對那親屬［kinsman］說：「從摩押地回來的拿俄米，現在要賣我們族兄以利米勒的一［a］塊地；

4 我想告訴你說［I thought to advertise thee, saying］：『當在居民面前和我本民的長老面前買那塊地［Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people］。』你若肯贖就贖。倘若你［but if thou］不肯贖，就告訴我，我好知道［that I may know］。因為在你以外，其次是我；此後再沒有別人贖那塊地了［for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee］。」那人說［said］：「我肯贖。」

5 波阿斯就［Then］說：「你何日［What day］從拿俄米手中買這田［field］，也必須買［must buy］死人的妻摩押女子路得，使死人在產業上存留他的名。」

6 那親屬［kinsman］說：「這樣我就不能為自己［for myself］贖了，恐怕於我的產業有損［mar］。你可以贖我所要贖的歸你自己［to thyself］；因我不能贖。」

7 從前，在以色列中要定奪甚麼事，或贖回，或變易［changing］；這人就脫鞋給他鄰居［his neighbour］。在以色列［in Israel］都以此為證據。

8 因此［Therefore］，那親屬［kinsman］對波阿斯說：「你自己買吧。」他就［So he］將鞋脫下來了。

9 波阿斯對長老和眾民說：「你們今日作見證，凡屬以利米勒和基連、瑪倫的，我都從拿俄米手中置買了；

10 又買［purchased］了瑪倫的妻摩押女子路得為妻，好在死人的產業上興起［raise up］他的名，免得死人［dead］的名在本族本鄉滅沒；你們今日可以作見證。」

11 在城門的眾民［people that were in the gate］和長老都說：「我們作見證。願耶和華使進你家的這女子，像建立以色列家的拉結、利亞二人一樣；又願你在以法他得亨通，在伯．利恆得名聲；

12 願耶和華從這少年女子賜你後裔，使你的家像她瑪給［unto］猶大所生法勒斯的家一般。」

13 於是，波阿斯娶了路得為妻；波阿斯［he］與她同房，耶和華使她懷孕生了一個兒子。

14 婦人們對拿俄米說：「耶和華是應當稱頌的，他今日沒有撇下妳沒有［without］親屬，使他［that his］在以色列中得名聲。

15 他必提起妳的精神，奉養妳的老；因為愛慕妳的那兒婦［for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee］所生的兒子［born him］，比妳［thee］有七個兒子還好。」

16 拿俄米就把孩子抱在懷中，作他的養母。

17 鄰居的婦人們［women］說：「拿俄米得兒子［son］了」；她們［they］就給孩子起名叫俄備得。這俄備得是耶西的父，耶西是大衛的父。

18 法勒斯的後代記在下面：法勒斯生希斯崙，

19 希斯崙生蘭，蘭生亞米拿達，

20 亞米拿達生拿順，拿順生撒門，

21 撒門生波阿斯，波阿斯生俄備得，

22 俄備得生耶西，耶西生大衛。

Chapter 4

1 THEN Boaz went up to the city gate and sat down there; and behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz had spoken was passing by; and Boaz said to him, Come, sit down here. And the man said to him, What do you wish? And he sat down by him.

2 And Boaz selected ten men of the elders of the city, and seated them by him.

3 And he said to the near kinsman, Naomi is selling to me the parcel of land which belonged to our brother Elimeleck;

4 And I thought to let you know, and say to you, Buy it in the presence of those who are seated, for I am ready to speak and to purchase it in the presence of the elders of my people who are seated. And now, if you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know that you will not redeem it; then I will redeem it. And he said, I will redeem it.

5 Then Boaz said, On the day you buy the field from Naomi and from Ruth, the Moabitess, the widow of the dead, you must buy it with the intention of raising the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

6 And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I damage my own inheritance; you can redeem it yourself; because of my lack of confidence in this transaction I cannot redeem it.

7 Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and the exchanging of rights to redeem which confirmed transactions: a man pulled off his shoe and gave it to another; and this was the testimonial ceremony in Israel.

8 Therefore the near kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.

9 And Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that belonged to Elimeleck, and all that belonged to Malion and Calion, from the hand of Naomi.

10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Malion, have I taken to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, so that the name of the dead may not be cut off and his remembrance may not be forgotten among his brethren and his family; you are witnesses this day.

11 And all the people and the elders that were at the city gate, answered, saying, We are witnesses. And they blessed him, and said to him. May the LORD make this woman who is in your presence like Rachel and like Leah, for both of them built up the house of Israel; and may you do worthily in Ephratah, and call its name Beth-lehem.

12 And let your house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, and may the LORD give you an offspring from this woman.

13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

14 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.

15 And he shall be to you a comforter of your soul and a nourisher to your city; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.

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

17 And the women who were her neighbors said, A son has been born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed; he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

19 And Hezron begat Aram, and Aram begat Amminadab,

20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Shelah,

21 And Shelah begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat King David.

1 波阿斯到了城門，坐下［down］在那裏。恰巧波阿斯所說的那至近的親屬經過；波阿斯說：「某人哪。你轉來［turn aside］，在這裏坐下［sit down there］。」他轉來［turned aside］坐下。	1 THEN Boaz went up to the city gate and sat down there; and behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz had spoken was passing by; and Boaz said to him, Come, sit down here.

2 波阿斯又從本城的長老中揀選了十人，對他們說：「請你們坐在這裏。」他們就都坐下。	2 And Boaz selected ten men of the elders of the city, and seated them by him.
3 波阿斯對那親屬［kinsman］說：「從摩押地回來的拿俄米，現在要賣我們族兄以利米勒的一［a］塊地；	3 And he said to the near kinsman, Naomi is selling to me the parcel of land which belonged to our brother Elimeleck;

And now, if you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know that you will not redeem it; then I will redeem it. And he said, I will redeem it.
5 波阿斯就［Then］說：「你何日［What day］從拿俄米手中買這田［field］，也必須買［must buy］死人的妻摩押女子路得，使死人在產業上存留他的名。」	5 Then Boaz said, On the day you buy the field from Naomi and from Ruth, the Moabitess, the widow of the dead, you must buy it with the intention of raising the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
6 那親屬［kinsman］說：「這樣我就不能為自己［for myself］贖了，恐怕於我的產業有損［mar］。你可以贖我所要贖的歸你自己［to thyself］；因我不能贖。」	6 And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I damage my own inheritance; you can redeem it yourself; because of my lack of confidence in this transaction I cannot redeem it.
7 從前，在以色列中要定奪甚麼事，或贖回，或變易［changing］；這人就脫鞋給他鄰居［his neighbour］。在以色列［in Israel］都以此為證據。	7 Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and the exchanging of rights to redeem which confirmed transactions: a man pulled off his shoe and gave it to another; and this was the testimonial ceremony in Israel.
8 因此［Therefore］，那親屬［kinsman］對波阿斯說：「你自己買吧。」他就［So he］將鞋脫下來了。	8 Therefore the near kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.
9 波阿斯對長老和眾民說：「你們今日作見證，凡屬以利米勒和基連、瑪倫的，我都從拿俄米手中置買了；	9 And Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that belonged to Elimeleck, and all that belonged to Malion and Calion, from the hand of Naomi.

11 在城門的眾民［people that were in the gate］和長老都說：「我們作見證。願耶和華使進你家的這女子，像建立以色列家的拉結、利亞二人一樣；又願你在以法他得亨通，在伯．利恆得名聲；	11 And all the people and the elders that were at the city gate, answered, saying, We are witnesses.

13 於是，波阿斯娶了路得為妻；波阿斯［he］與她同房，耶和華使她懷孕生了一個兒子。	13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.
14 婦人們對拿俄米說：「耶和華是應當稱頌的，他今日沒有撇下妳沒有［without］親屬，使他［that his］在以色列中得名聲。	14 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
