# 得-Rut 4 ## 得4:1 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。 Rut 4:1 “Now Boaz had gone up to the gate and sat down there. And behold, the redeemer, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by. So Boaz said, “Turn aside, friend; sit down here.” And he turned aside and sat down.” ## 得4:2 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。 Rut 4:2 “And he took ten men of the elders of the city and said, “Sit down here.” So they sat down.” ## 得4:3 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。 Rut 4:3 “Then he said to the redeemer, “Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land that belonged to our relative Elimelech.” ## 得4:4 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。” Rut 4:4 “So I thought I would tell you of it and say, ‘Buy it in the presence of those sitting here and in the presence of the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it. But if you will not, tell me, that I may know, for there is no one besides you to redeem it, and I come after you.” And he said, “I will redeem it.” ## 得4:5 波阿斯说：“你从拿俄米手中买这地的时候，也当娶(原文作“买”十节同)死人的妻摩押女子路得，使死人在产业上存留他的名。” Rut 4:5 “Then Boaz said, “The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the widow of the dead, in order to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance.” ## 得4:6 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。” Rut 4:6 “Then the redeemer said, “I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I impair my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption yourself, for I cannot redeem it.” ## 得4:7 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。 Rut 4:7 “Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging: to confirm a transaction, the one drew off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was the manner of attesting in Israel.” ## 得4:8 那人对波阿斯说：“你自己买吧！”于是将鞋脱下来了。 Rut 4:8 “So when the redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” he drew off his sandal.” ## 得4:9 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； Rut 4:9 “Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses this day that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and to Mahlon.” ## 得4:10 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。” Rut 4:10 “Also Ruth the Moabite, the widow of Mahlon, I have bought to be my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his native place. You are witnesses this day.” ## 得4:11 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，象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。 Rut 4:11 “Then all the people who were at the gate and the elders said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman, who is coming into your house, like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you act worthily in Ephrathah and be renowned in Bethlehem,” ## 得4:12 愿耶和华从这少年女子赐你后裔，使你的家象他玛从犹大所生法勒斯的家一般。” Rut 4:12 “and may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring that the LORD will give you by this young woman.” ## 得4:13 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。 Rut 4:13 “So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And he went in to her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.” ## 得4:14 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。 Rut 4:14 “Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a redeemer, and may his name be renowned in Israel!” ## 得4:15 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。” Rut 4:15 “He shall be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.” ## 得4:16 拿俄米就把孩子抱在怀中，作他的养母。 Rut 4:16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her lap and became his nurse. ## 得4:17 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。 Rut 4:17 “And the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.” ## 得4:18 法勒斯的后代记在下面：法勒斯生希斯仑； Rut 4:18 “Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez fathered Hezron,” ## 得4:19 希斯仑生兰；兰生亚米拿达； Rut 4:19 “Hezron fathered Ram, Ram fathered Amminadab,” ## 得4:20 亚米拿达生拿顺；拿顺生撒门； Rut 4:20 “Amminadab fathered Nahshon, Nahshon fathered Salmon,” ## 得4:21 撒门生波阿斯；波阿斯生俄备得； Rut 4:21 “Salmon fathered Boaz, Boaz fathered Obed,” ## 得4:22 俄备得生耶西；耶西生大卫。 Rut 4:22 “Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.”
