Ruth 4:1 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Boaz went to the town gate and took a seat there. Just then the family redeemer he had mentioned came by, so Boaz called out to him, "Come over here and sit down, friend. I want to talk to you." So they sat down together.
2 Then Boaz called ten leaders from the town and asked them to sit as witnesses.
3 And Boaz said to the family redeemer, "You know Naomi, who came back from Moab. She is selling the land that belonged to our relative Elimelech.
4 I thought I should speak to you about it so that you can redeem it if you wish. If you want the land, then buy it here in the presence of these witnesses. But if you don't want it, let me know right away, because I am next in line to redeem it after you." The man replied, "All right, I'll redeem it."
5 Then Boaz told him, "Of course, your purchase of the land from Naomi also requires that you marry Ruth, the Moabite widow. That way she can have children who will carry on her husband's name and keep the land in the family."
6 "Then I can't redeem it," the family redeemer replied, "because this might endanger my own estate. You redeem the land; I cannot do it."
7 Now in those days it was the custom in Israel for anyone transferring a right of purchase to remove his sandal and hand it to the other party. This publicly validated the transaction.
8 So the other family redeemer drew off his sandal as he said to Boaz, "You buy the land."
9 Then Boaz said to the elders and to the crowd standing around, "You are witnesses that today I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelech, Kilion, and Mahlon.
10 And with the land I have acquired Ruth, the Moabite widow of Mahlon, to be my wife. This way she can have a son to carry on the family name of her dead husband and to inherit the family property here in his hometown. You are all witnesses today."
11 Then the elders and all the people standing in the gate replied, "We are witnesses! May the LORD make this woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, from whom all the nation of Israel descended! May you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.
12 And may the LORD give you descendants by this young woman who will be like those of our ancestor Perez, the son of Tamar and Judah."
13 So Boaz took Ruth into his home, and she became his wife. When he slept with her, the LORD enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
14 Then the women of the town said to Naomi, "Praise the LORD, who has now provided a redeemer for your family! May this child be famous in Israel.
15 May he restore your youth and care for you in your old age. For he is the son of your daughter-in-law who loves you and has been better to you than seven sons!"
16 Naomi took the baby and cuddled him to her breast. And she cared for him as if he were her own.
17 The neighbor women said, "Now at last Naomi has a son again!" And they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse and the grandfather of David.
18 This is the genealogical record of their ancestor Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron.
19 Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab.
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed.
22 Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David.
1 Then went Boaz up H5927 to the gate H8179 , and sat him down H3427 W-VQY3MS there H8033 ADV : and , behold H2009 IJEC , the kinsman H1350 of whom Boaz H1162 spoke H1696 VPQ3MS came by H5674 ; unto whom H834 RPRO he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Ho , such H6423 a one H492 ! turn aside H5493 , sit down H3427 here H6311 ADV . And he turned aside H5493 W-VHY3MS , and sat down H3427 .
2 And he took H3947 W-VQY3MS ten H6235 men H376 of the elders H2205 of the city H5892 D-GFS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Sit ye down H3427 here H6311 . And they sat down H3427 .
3 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto the kinsman H1350 , Naomi H5281 , that is come again H7725 out of the country H7704 D-NMS of Moab H4124 , selleth H4376 a parcel H2513 of land H7704 , which H834 RPRO was our brother H251 Elimelech H458 \'s :
4 And I H589 W-PPRO-1MS thought H559 W-VQY3MS to advertise H1540 thee , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Buy H7069 it before H5048 the inhabitants H3427 , and before H5048 the elders H2205 of my people H5971 . If H518 PART thou wilt redeem H1350 it , redeem H1350 it : but if H518 PART thou wilt not H3808 NADV redeem H1350 it , then tell H5046 D-VHI2MS-3FS me , that I may know H3045 : for H3588 CONJ there is none H369 NPAR to redeem H1350 it beside H2108 thee ; and I H595 W-PPRO-1MS am after H310 thee . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , I H595 PPRO-1MS will redeem H1350 it .
5 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Boaz H1162 , What day H3117 B-NMS thou buyest H7069 the field H7704 D-NMS of the hand H3027 M-GFS of Naomi H5281 , thou must buy H7069 it also of Ruth H7327 the Moabitess H4125 , the wife H802 CFS of the dead H4191 , to raise up H6965 the name H8034 CMS of the dead H4191 upon H5921 PREP his inheritance H5159 .
6 And the kinsman H1350 said H559 W-VQY3MS , I cannot H3808 NADV redeem H1350 it for myself , lest H6435 CONJ I mar H7843 mine own inheritance H5159 : redeem H1350 thou H859 PPRO-2MS my right H1353 to thyself ; for H3588 CONJ I cannot H3808 NADV redeem H1350 it .
7 Now this H2063 was the manner in former time H6440 L-NMP in Israel H3478 concerning H5921 PREP redeeming H1353 and concerning H5921 PREP changing H8545 , for to confirm H6965 all H3605 NMS things H1697 VQPMS ; a man H376 NMS plucked off H8025 VQQ3MS his shoe H5275 , and gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS it to his neighbor H7453 L-CMS-3MS : and this H2063 was a testimony H8584 in Israel H3478 .
8 Therefore the kinsman H1350 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Boaz H1162 , Buy H7069 it for thee . So he drew off H8025 his shoe H5275 .
9 And Boaz H1162 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto the elders H2205 , and unto all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , Ye H859 PPRO-2MS are witnesses H5707 this day H3117 D-AMS , that H3588 CONJ I have bought H7069 VQQ1MS all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO was Elimelech H458 \'s , and all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO was Chilion H3630 \'s and Mahlon H4248 \'s , of the hand H3027 M-GFS of Naomi H5281 .
10 Moreover H1571 W-CONJ Ruth H7327 the Moabitess H4125 , the wife H802 CFS of Mahlon H4248 , have I purchased H7069 VQQ1MS to be my wife H802 L-NFS , to raise up H6965 the name H8034 CMS of the dead H4191 upon H5921 PREP his inheritance H5159 , that the name H8034 CMS of the dead H4191 be not H3808 W-NPAR cut off H3772 VNI3MS from among H5973 M-PREP his brethren H251 NMP-3MS , and from the gate H8179 of his place H4725 : ye H859 PPRO-2MS are witnesses H5707 this day H3117 D-NMS .
11 And all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were in the gate H8179 , and the elders H2205 , said H559 W-VQY3MP , We are witnesses H5707 . The LORD H3068 EDS make H5414 VHFA the woman H802 D-NFS that is come H935 D-AFS into H413 PREP thine house H1004 like Rachel H7354 and like Leah H3812 , which H834 RPRO two H8147 did build H1129 the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 : and do H6213 thou worthily H2428 NMS in Ephratah H672 , and be famous H7121 W-VQI2MS in Bethlehem H1035 :
12 And let thy house H1004 be H1961 W-VQI3MS like the house H1004 of Pharez H6557 , whom H834 RPRO Tamar H8559 bore H3205 unto Judah H3063 , of H4480 PREP the seed H2233 which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS shall give H5414 VHFA thee of H4480 PREP this H2063 young woman H5291 .
13 So Boaz H1162 took H3947 W-VQY3MS Ruth H7327 , and she was H1961 W-VQY3FS his wife H802 L-NFS : and when he went H935 W-VQY3MS in unto H413 PREP-3FS her , the LORD H3068 EDS gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS her conception H2032 , and she bore H3205 W-VQY3FS a son H1121 NMS .
14 And the women H802 D-NFP said H559 unto H413 PREP Naomi H5281 , Blessed H1288 VWQ3MS be the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 RPRO hath not H3808 NADV left H7673 thee this day H3117 D-AMS without a kinsman H1350 , that his name H8034 CMS-3MS may be famous H7121 in Israel H3478 .
15 And he shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS unto thee a restorer H7725 of thy life H5315 GFS , and a nourisher H3557 of thine old age H7872 : for H3588 CONJ thy daughter H3618 - in - law , which H834 RPRO loveth H157 thee , which H834 RPRO is better H2896 NFS to thee than seven H7651 sons H1121 , hath born H3205 him .
16 And Naomi H5281 took H3947 W-VQY3FS the child H3206 , and laid H7896 it in her bosom H2436 , and became H1961 W-VQY3FS nurse H539 unto it .
17 And the women her neighbors H7934 gave H7121 it a name H8034 CMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , There is a son H1121 NMS born H3205 VWQ3MS to Naomi H5281 ; and they called H7121 his name H8034 CMS-3MS Obed H5744 : he H1931 PPRO-3MS is the father H1 CMS-1MS of Jesse H3448 , the father H1 CMS-1MS of David H1732 .
18 Now these H428 W-PMP are the generations H8435 of Pharez H6557 : Pharez H6557 begot H3205 VHQ3MS Hezron H2696 ,
19 And Hezron H2696 begot H3205 VHQ3MS Ram H7410 EMS , and Ram H7410 begot H3205 VHQ3MS Amminadab H5992 ,
20 And Amminadab H5992 begot H3205 VHQ3MS Nahshon H5177 , and Nahshon H5177 begot H3205 VHQ3MS Salmon H8009 ,
21 And Salmon H8012 begot H3205 VHQ3MS Boaz H1162 , and Boaz H1162 begot H3205 VHQ3MS Obed H5744 ,
22 And Obed H5744 begot H3205 VHQ3MS Jesse H3448 , and Jesse H3448 begot H3205 VHQ3MS David H1732 .
