Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Meanwhile, Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the kinsman-redeemer of whom he had spoken came along, and Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.
1波阿斯 到了城門，坐在那裏，恰巧 波阿斯 所說的那至近的親屬經過。 波阿斯 說：「某人哪，你來坐在這裏。」他就來坐下。
2Then Boaz took ten of the elders of the city and said, “Sit here,” and they did so.
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。
3And he said to the kinsman-redeemer, “Naomi, who has returned from the land of Moab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech.
3波阿斯 對那至近的親屬說：「從 摩押 地回來的 拿俄米 ，現在要賣我們族兄 以利米勒 的那塊地；
4I thought I should inform you that you may buy it back in the presence of those seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you want to redeem it, do so. But if you will not redeem it, tell me so I may know, because there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you.” “I will redeem it,” he replied.
4我想當贖那塊地的是你，其次是我，以外再沒有別人了。你可以在這裏的人面前和我本國的長老面前說明，你若肯贖就贖，若不肯贖就告訴我。」那人回答說：「我肯贖。」
5Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi and also from Ruth the Moabitess, you must also acquire the widow of the deceased in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance.”
5波阿斯 說：「你從 拿俄米 手中買這地的時候，也當娶死人的妻 摩押 女子 路得 ，使死人在產業上存留他的名。」
6The kinsman-redeemer replied, “I cannot redeem it myself, or I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption, because I cannot redeem it.”
6那人說：「這樣我就不能贖了，恐怕於我的產業有礙。你可以贖我所當贖的，我不能贖了。」
7Now in former times in Israel, concerning the redemption or exchange of property, to make any matter legally binding a man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party, and this was a confirmation in Israel.
7從前，在 以色列 中要定奪甚麼事，或贖回，或交易，這人就脫鞋給那人。 以色列 人都以此為證據。
8So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”
8那人對 波阿斯 說：「你自己買吧！」於是將鞋脫下來了。
9At this, Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses today that I am buying from Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech, Chilion, and Mahlon.
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；
10Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased through his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his brothers or from the gate of his home. You are witnesses today.”
10又娶了 瑪倫 的妻 摩押 女子 路得 為妻，好在死人的產業上存留他的名，免得他的名在本族本鄉滅沒。你們今日可以作見證。」
11“We are witnesses,” said the elders and all the people at the gate. “May the LORD make the woman entering your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you be prosperous in Ephrathah and famous in Bethlehem.
11在城門坐着的眾民和長老都說：「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。
12And may your house become like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring the LORD will give you by this young woman.”
12願耶和華從這少年女子賜你後裔，使你的家像 她瑪 從 猶大 所生 法勒斯 的家一般。」
13So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And when he had relations with her, the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.
13於是， 波阿斯 娶了 路得 為妻，與她同房。耶和華使她懷孕生了一個兒子。
14Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a kinsman-redeemer. May his name become famous in Israel.
14婦人們對 拿俄米 說：「耶和華是應當稱頌的！因為今日沒有撇下你，使你無至近的親屬。願這孩子在 以色列 中得名聲。
15He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”
15他必提起你的精神，奉養你的老，因為是愛慕你的那兒婦所生的。有這兒婦比有七個兒子還好！」
16And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a nurse to him.
16拿俄米 就把孩子抱在懷中，作他的養母。
17The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, the father of David.
17鄰舍的婦人說：「 拿俄米 得孩子了！」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。
18Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,
18法勒斯 的後代記在下面： 法勒斯 生 希斯崙 ；
19Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab,
19希斯崙 生 蘭 ； 蘭 生 亞米拿達 ；
20Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon,
20亞米拿達 生 拿順 ； 拿順 生 撒門 ；
21Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed,
21撒門 生 波阿斯 ； 波阿斯 生 俄備得 ；
22Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David.
22俄備得 生 耶西 ； 耶西 生 大衛 。
