Ruth 4
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Pinakasalan ni Boaz si Ruth
4 Nagtungo si Boaz sa may pintuan ng lunsod at naupo roon. Di nagtagal, dumaan ang tinutukoy niyang pinakamalapit na kamag-anak ni Elimelec. “Pinsan, sandali lang. Maupo ka rito at may sasabihin ako sa iyo,” sabi niya. Lumapit naman ang tinawag at naupo sa tabi ni Boaz. 2 Tumawag si Boaz ng sampung pinuno ng bayan at inanyayahan ding maupo roon. 3 Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa kanyang kamag-anak, “Ngayong nagbalik na si Naomi buhat sa Moab, nais niyang ipagbili ang bukid ng kamag-anak nating si Elimelec. 4 Sa palagay ko'y dapat mo itong malaman sapagkat ikaw ang unang may karapatang bumili niyon. Kung gusto mo, bilhin mo iyon sa harap ng mga saksing pinuno ng bayan. Kung ayaw mo naman, ako ang bibili.”
“Bibilhin ko,” sagot ng lalaki.
5 Agad na sinabi ni Boaz, “Kung bibilhin mo kay Naomi ang bukid, kasama sa bilihan si Ruth,[a] ang Moabitang biyuda ng ating pinsan, upang ang bukid ay manatili sa angkan ng namatay.”
6 Pagkarinig niyon, sumagot ang lalaki, “Kung ganoon, hindi ko na gagamitin ang aking karapatan, sapagkat manganganib namang mawala ang sarili kong mana. Ikaw na ang bumili.”
7 Ganito(A) ang kaugalian sa Israel noong unang panahon: kapag tinubos o binili ang isang ari-arian, hinuhubad ng nagpatubos o nagbenta ang kanyang sandalyas at ibinibigay sa bumili, bilang katibayan ng kanilang kasunduan. 8 Kaya't nang sabihin ng lalaki kay Boaz na siya na ang bumili, hinubad nito ang kanyang sandalyas at ibinigay kay Boaz.[b] 9 Matapos tanggapin iyon, sinabi ni Boaz sa matatandang pinuno at sa ibang naroroon, “Kayo ang saksi ko na binili ko kay Naomi ang lahat ng nasa pangalan ni Elimelec, at nina Quelion at Mahlon. 10 Kasama(B) sa bilihang ito ay magiging asawa ko si Ruth, ang Moabitang biyuda ni Mahlon, upang manatili sa angkan ng namatay ang mga ari-arian. Sa pamamagitan nito'y mananatiling buháy ang kanyang pangalan sa hanay ng kanyang kamag-anakan at sa kanyang bayan. Inuulit ko, saksi kayo sa bagay na ito.”
11 At(C) sila'y sumagot, “Oo, saksi kami.” Sinabi naman ng matatanda, “Pagpalain nawa ni Yahweh ang babaing iyon, at bigyan ng maraming anak gaya nina Raquel at Lea, na pinagmulan ng lahing Israel. Ikaw naman, Boaz, sumagana ka nawa sa Efrata at kilalanin sa buong Bethlehem. 12 Matulad(D) nawa sa sambahayan ni Fares, na anak nina Juda at Tamar, ang mga anak na ibibigay sa inyo ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng kabataang babaing ito.”
13 Napangasawa nga ni Boaz si Ruth at iniuwi sa kanyang tahanan. Pinagpala ni Yahweh si Ruth kaya't ito'y nagdalang-tao at nanganak ng isang lalaki. 14 Sinabi ng kababaihan kay Naomi, “Purihin si Yahweh! Binigyan ka niya sa araw na ito ng isang apo na kakalinga sa iyo. Maging tanyag nawa sa Israel ang bata! 15 Maghatid nawa siya ng kaaliwan sa puso mo at mag-alaga sa iyong pagtanda. Ang mapagmahal mong manugang, na nagsilang sa bata, ay higit kaysa pitong anak na lalaki.” 16 Kinuha ni Naomi ang bata, magiliw na kinalong, at inalagaang mabuti. 17 Siya'y tinawag nilang Obed. Ipinamalita nilang nagkaapo ng lalaki si Naomi. Si Obed ang siyang ama ni Jesse na ama naman ni David.
Ang Angkan ni David
18-22 Ito ang pagkakasunud-sunod ng angkan mula kay Fares hanggang kay David: Fares, Hezron, Ram, Aminadab, Naason, Salmon, Boaz, Obed, Jesse, at David.
Ruth 4
King James Version
4 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:
4 And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.
7 Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son.
14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son 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 Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
