1Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down.
1波阿斯 到了城门，坐在那里，恰巧 波阿斯 所说的那至近的亲属经过。 波阿斯 说：「某人哪，你来坐在这里。」他就来坐下。
2And Booz taking ten men of the ancients of the city, said to them: Sit ye down here.
2波阿斯 又从本城的长老中拣选了十人，对他们说：「请你们坐在这里。」他们就都坐下。
3They sat down, and he spoke to the kinsman: Noemi, who is returned from the country of Moab, will sell a parcel of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech.
3波阿斯 对那至近的亲属说：「从 摩押 地回来的 拿俄米 ，现在要卖我们族兄 以利米勒 的那块地；
4I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field.
4我想当赎那块地的是你，其次是我，以外再没有别人了。你可以在这里的人面前和我本国的长老面前说明，你若肯赎就赎，若不肯赎就告诉我。」那人回答说：「我肯赎。」
5And Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman’s hand, thou must take also Ruth the Moabitess, who was the wife of the deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance.
5波阿斯 说：「你从 拿俄米 手中买这地的时候，也当娶死人的妻 摩押 女子 路得 ，使死人在产业上存留他的名。」
6He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege, which I profess I do willingly forego.
6那人说：「这样我就不能赎了，恐怕于我的产业有碍。你可以赎我所当赎的，我不能赎了。」
7Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe, and gave it to his neighhour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel.
7从前，在 以色列 中要定夺什么事，或赎回，或交易，这人就脱鞋给那人。 以色列 人都以此为证据。
8So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot.
8那人对 波阿斯 说：「你自己买吧！」于是将鞋脱下来了。
9And he said to the ancients and to all the people: You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and Chelion’s, and Mahalon’s, of the hand of Noemi:
9波阿斯 对长老和众民说：「你们今日作见证，凡属 以利米勒 和 基连 、 玛伦 的，我都从 拿俄米 手中置买了；
10And have taken to wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon, to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name be cut off, from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.
10又娶了 玛伦 的妻 摩押 女子 路得 为妻，好在死人的产业上存留他的名，免得他的名在本族本乡灭没。你们今日可以作见证。」
11Then all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name in Bethlehem:
11在城门坐着的众民和长老都说：「我们作见证。愿耶和华使进你家的这女子，像建立 以色列 家的 拉结 、 利亚 二人一样。又愿你在 以法他 得亨通，在 伯利恒 得名声。
12And that the house may be, as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore unto Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
12愿耶和华从这少年女子赐你后裔，使你的家像 她玛 从 犹大 所生 法勒斯 的家一般。」
13Booz therefore took Ruth, and married her: and went in unto her, and the Lord gave her to conceive and to bear a son.
13于是， 波阿斯 娶了 路得 为妻，与她同房。耶和华使她怀孕生了一个儿子。
14And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor, that his name should be preserved in Israel.
14妇人们对 拿俄米 说：「耶和华是应当称颂的！因为今日没有撇下你，使你无至近的亲属。愿这孩子在 以色列 中得名声。
15And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.
15他必提起你的精神，奉养你的老，因为是爱慕你的那儿妇所生的。有这儿妇比有七个儿子还好！」
16And Noemi taking the child laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto it.
16拿俄米 就把孩子抱在怀中，作他的养母。
17And the women her neighbours, congratulating with her and saying: There is a son born to Noemi: called his name Obed: he is the father of Isai, the father of David.
17邻舍的妇人说：「 拿俄米 得孩子了！」就给孩子起名叫 俄备得 。这 俄备得 是 耶西 的父， 耶西 是 大卫 的父。
18These are the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esron,
18法勒斯 的后代记在下面： 法勒斯 生 希斯 ；
19Esron begot Aram, Aram begot Aminadab,
19希斯 生 兰 ； 兰 生 亚米拿达 ；
20Aminadab begot Nahasson, Nahasson begot Salmon,
20亚米拿达 生 拿顺 ； 拿顺 生 撒门 ；
21Salmon begot Booz, Booz begot Obed,
21撒门 生 波阿斯 ； 波阿斯 生 俄备得 ；
22Obed begot Isai, Isai begot David.
22俄备得 生 耶西 ； 耶西 生 大卫 。
