YLT - Ruth - 4

4:1  And Boaz hath gone up to the gate, and sitteth there, and lo, the redeemer is passing by of whom Boaz had spoken, and he saith, `Turn aside, sit down here, such a one, such a one;' and he turneth aside and sitteth down.

4:2  And he taketh ten men of the elders of the city, and saith, `Sit down here;' and they sit down.

4:3  And he saith to the redeemer, `A portion of the field which is to our brother, to Elimelech, hath Naomi sold, who hath come back from the fields of Moab;

4:4  and I said, I uncover thine ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people; if thou dost redeem--redeem, and if none doth redeem--declare to me, and I know, for there is none save thee to redeem, and I after thee.' And he saith, I redeem it .'

4:5  And Boaz saith, `In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, thou hast bought it , to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance.'

4:6  And the redeemer saith, `I am not able to redeem it for myself, lest I destroy mine inheritance; redeem for thyself--thou--my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.'

4:7  And this is formerly in Israel for redemption and for changing, to establish anything: a man hath drawn off his sandal, and given it to his neighbour, and this is the testimony in Israel.

4:8  And the redeemer saith to Boaz, `Buy it for thyself,' and draweth off his sandal.

4:9  And Boaz saith to the elders, and to all the people, `Witnesses are ye to-day that I have bought all that is to Elimelech, and all that is to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi;

4:10  and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place; witnesses ye are to-day.'

4:11  And all the people who are in the gate say--also the elders--`Witnesses! Jehovah make the woman who is coming in unto thy house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and do thou virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the Name in Beth-Lehem;

4:12  and let thy house be as the house of Pharez (whom Tamar bare to Judah), of the seed which Jehovah doth give to thee of this young woman.'

4:13  And Boaz taketh Ruth, and she becometh his wife, and he goeth in unto her, and Jehovah giveth to her conception, and she beareth a son.

4:14  And the women say unto Naomi, `Blessed is Jehovah who hath not let a redeemer cease to thee to-day, and his name is proclaimed in Israel,

4:15  and he hath been to thee for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law who hath loved thee--who is better to thee than seven sons--hath borne him.'

4:16  And Naomi taketh the lad, and layeth him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse;

4:17  and the neighbouring women give to him a name, saying, `There hath been a son born to Naomi,' and they call his name Obed; he is father of Jesse, father of David.

4:18  And these are genealogies of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

4:19  and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab,

4:20  and Amminidab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

4:21  and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

4:22  and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
