4:1
Ascendit ergo Booz ad portam, et sedit ibi. Cumque vidisset propinquum praeterire, de quo prius sermo habitus est, dixit ad eum : Declina paulisper, et sede hic : vocans eum nomine suo. Qui divertit, et sedit.
Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, and sat down.
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。
4:2
Tollens autem Booz decem viros de senioribus civitatis, dixit ad eos : Sedete hic.
Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here,” and they sat down.
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。
4:3
Quibus sedentibus, locutus est ad propinquum : Partem agri fratris nostri Elimelech vendet Noëmi, quae reversa est de regione Moabitide :
He 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.
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；
4:4
quod audire te volui, et tibi dicere coram cunctis sedentibus, et majoribus natu de populo meo. Si vis possidere jure propinquitatis, eme, et posside : sin autem displicet tibi, hoc ipsum indica mihi, ut sciam quid facere debeam : nullus enim est propinquus, excepto te, qui prior es, et me, qui secundus sum. At ille respondit : Ego agrum emam.
I thought I should tell 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.”
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。」
4:5
Cui dixit Booz : Quando emeris agrum de manu mulieris, Ruth quoque Moabitidem, quae uxor defuncti fuit, debes accipere : ut suscites nomen propinqui tui in haereditate sua.
Then 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.”
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。」
4:6
Qui respondit : Cedo juri propinquitatis : neque enim posteritatem familiae meae delere debeo : tu meo utere privilegio, quo me libenter carere profiteor.
The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I endanger my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t redeem it.”
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。」
4:7
Hic autem erat mos antiquitus in Israël inter propinquos, ut siquando alter alteri suo juri cedebat, ut esset firma concessio, solvebat homo calceamentum suum, et dabat proximo suo : hoc erat testimonium cessionis in Israël.
Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of formalizing transactions in Israel.
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。
4:8
Dixit ergo propinquo suo Booz : Tolle calceamentum tuum. Quod statim solvit de pede suo.
So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” then he took off his sandal.
那人對波阿斯說：「你自己買吧！」於是將鞋脫下來了。
4:9
At ille majoribus natu, et universo populo : Testes vos, inquit, estis hodie, quod possederim omnis quae fuerunt Elimelech, et Chelion, et Mahalon, tradente Noëmi ;
Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.
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；
4:10
et Ruth Moabitidem, uxorem Mahalon, in conjugium sumpserim, ut suscitem nomen defuncti in haereditate sua, ne vocabulum ejus de familia sua ac fratribus et populo deleatur. Vos, inquam, hujus rei testes estis.
Moreover, 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 may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”
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。」
4:11
Respondit omnis populus, qui erat in porta, et majores natu : Nos testes sumus : faciat Dominus hanc mulierem, quae ingreditur domum tuam, sicut Rachel et Liam, quae aedificaverunt domum Israël : ut sit exemplum virtutis in Ephratha, et habeat celebre nomen in Bethlehem :
All 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 both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
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。
4:12
fiatque domus tua sicut domus Phares, quem Thamar peperit Judae, de semine quod tibi dederit Dominus ex hac puella.
Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which Yahweh will give you by this young woman.”
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。」
4:13
Tulit itaque Booz Ruth, et accepit uxorem : ingressusque est ad eam, et dedit illi Dominus ut conciperet, et pareret filium.
So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Yahweh enabled her to conceive, and she bore a son.
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。
4:14
Dixeruntque mulieres ad Noëmi : Benedictus Dominus, qui non est passus ut deficeret successor familiae tuae, et vocaretur nomen ejus in Israël :
The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let his name be famous in Israel.
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。
4:15
et habeas qui consoletur animam tuam, et enutriat senectutem : de nuru enim tua natus est, quae te diligit, et multo tibi melior est, quam si septem haberes filios.
He 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 given birth to him.”
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！」
4:16
Susceptumque Noëmi puerum posuit in sinu suo, et nutricis ac gerulae fungebatur officio.
Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and became nurse to him.
拿俄米就把孩子抱在懷中，作他的養母。
4:17
Vicinae autem mulieris congratulantes ei, et dicentes : Natus est filius Noëmi : vocaverunt nomen ejus Obed : hic est pater Isai, patris David.
The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi”. They named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
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。
4:18
Hae sunt generationes Phares : Phares genuit Esron,
Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,
法勒斯的後代記在下面：法勒斯生希斯崙；
4:19
Esron genuit Aram, Aram genuit Aminadab,
and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,
希斯崙生蘭；蘭生亞米拿達；
4:20
Aminadab genuit Nahasson, Nahasson genuit Salmon,
and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,
亞米拿達生拿順；拿順生撒門；
4:21
Salmon genuit Booz, Booz genuit Obed,
and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,
撒門生波阿斯；波阿斯生俄備得；
4:22
Obed genuit Isai, Isai genuit David.
and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
俄備得生耶西；耶西生大衛。
