Ruts bog 4 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Boaz var gået op til byporten og havde sat sig der. Så kom den løser forbi, som Boaz havde talt om. Boaz sagde til ham: "Kom du herhen og sæt dig!" og det gjorde han. | 1 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 Derpå fik Boaz fat i ti af byens ældste og sagde: "Sæt jer her!" De satte sig, | 2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. |
| 3 og så sagde han til løseren: "Den mark, som tilhørte vores slægtning Elimelek, vil No'omi sælge, nu da hun er vendt hjem fra Moabs land. | 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 Jeg tænkte derfor, at jegville sige til dig, at du skal købe den nu i nærværelse af dem, der sidder her, og mit folks ældste. Hvis du vil indløse den, så gør det; men hvis du ikke vil indløse, skal du sige mig det; så jeg ved det. For der er ikke andre til at indløse end dig og derefter mig." | 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 Men Boaz sagde: "Den dag du køber marken af No'omi, da køber jeg den moabitiske enke Ruth, for at afdødes navn kan bevares ved hans ejendom." | 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 Da svarede løseren: "Så kan jeg ikke indløse, for jeg vil ikke skade min ejendom. Du må indløse, hvad jeg skulle indløse, for jeg kan ikke gøre det." | 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 Ved indløsning og byttehandel var det før i tiden sådan i Israel, at den ene part tog sin sa-dal af og gav den til den anden for at bekræfte sagen; det gjaldt som bevidnelse i Israel. | 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 Løseren sagde til Boaz: "Køb du den!" og så tog han sin sa-dal af. | 8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. |
| 9 Derpå sagde Boaz til de ældste og alle, der var til stede: "I er i dag vidner på, at jeg af No'omi køber alt, hvad der tilhørte Elimelek, og alt, hvad der tilhørte Kiljon og Maklon. | 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 Samtidig køber jeg moabitten Ruth, Maklons enke, til hustru, for at afdødes navn kan bevares ved hans ejendom, og afdødes navn ikke udslettes i hans slægt eller i hans bys port. Det er I vidner på i dag." | 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 Alle tilstedeværende i porten og de ældste svarede: "Ja, vi er vidner! Herren give, at den kvinde, som går ind i dit hus, må blive som Rakel og Lea, de to der byggede Israels hus. Vis din kraft i Efrata, og bliv navnkundig i Betlehem! | 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 Måtte Herren give dig børn med denne kvinde, så dit hus bliver som Peres' hus, ham som Tamar fødte til Juda!" | 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 Boaz indgik nu ægteskab med Ruth. Han gik ind til hende, og Herren lod hende blive gravid, og hun fødte en søn. | 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 Da sagde kvinderne til No'omi: "Lovet være Herren, som ikke lader dig stå uden løser i dag. Han skal blive navnkundig i Israel! | 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 Han skal holde dig i live og forsørge dig i din alderdom. Dinsvigerdatter, som har vist dig kærlighed, har født ham. Hun betyder mere for dig end syv sønner." | 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 borne him. |
| 16 Så tog No'omi drengen i sin favn, og hun blev hans plejemor. | 16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. |
| 17 Nabokonerne gav ham navn og sagde: "No'omi har fået en søn!" De gav ham navnet Obed, og han blev far til Davids far Isaj. | 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 Dette er Peres' slægt: Peres fik sønnen Hesron, | 18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, |
| 19 Hesron fik Ram, Ram fik Amminadab, | 19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, |
| 20 Amminadab fik Nakshon, Nakshon fik Salma, | 20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, |
| 21 Salma fik Boaz, Boaz fik Obed, | 21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, |
| 22 Obed fik Isaj, og Isaj fik David. | 22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David. |
