Ruth 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Then Boaz went up to the gate, and he sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman passing by, whom he had previously discussed, he spoke to him, calling him by his name, “Pause for a little while, and sit down here.” He turned aside and sat down.	1 Foi Booz à porta da cidade e sentou-se ali. Vendo passar o homem que tinha o direito de resgate, do qual falara, chamou-o e disse-lhe: Vem cá um pouco; senta-te aqui. O homem veio sentou-se.
2 But Boaz, calling aside ten men among the elders of the city, said to them, “Sit down here.”	2 Escolhendo então Booz dez homens dentre os anciãos da cidade, disse-lhes: Sentai-vos aqui.
3 They settled down, and he spoke to the kinsman, “Naomi, who has returned from the region of the Moabites, is selling part of a field of our brother Elimelech.	3 Estando eles sentados, Booz dirigiu-se ao parente próximo, falando-lhe neste termos. Noêmi, que voltou da terra de Moab, está para vender a parte no campo que pertencia ao nosso parente Elimelec.
4 I wanted you to hear this, and to tell you in front of everyone sitting here, including the eldest of my people. If you will take possession of it by the right of kinship, buy it and possess it. But if it displeases you, you should reveal this to me, so that I will know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides you, who is before me, and I am after you.” But he answered, “I will buy the field.”	4 Eu quis informar-te disto e propor-te que a compres diante dos anciãos do meu povo aqui presentes. Se queres usar do teu direito de resgate, faze-o; do contrário, dize-mo, para que eu saiba o que devo fazer, porque vens em primeiro lugar, mas depois de ti é a mim que cabe esse direito. Eu quero usar do meu direito, respondeu o homem.
5 And Boaz said to him, “When buying the field, you are likewise obliged to accept the hand of the woman Ruth, the Moabite, who was the wife of the deceased, so that you may raise up the name of your near kinsman through his posterity.”	5 Comprando essa terra da mão de Noêmi, continuou Booz, adquires ao mesmo tempo Rute, a moabita, mulher do defunto para conservar o nome do defunto, em sua herança.
6 He answered, “I yield my right of kinship, for I am obliged not to cut off the posterity of my own family. You may make use of my privilege, which I freely declare I will forego.”	6 Nesse caso, respondeu aquele homem, não a posso resgatar por minha própria conta, porque isto viria prejudicar o meu patrimônio. Usa tu do meu privilégio, porque não o posso fazer.
7 Yet it was the custom between kinsmen in this former time in Israel, that if at anytime one yielded his right to another, so as to confirm his permission, the man took off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor. This was a testimony of concession in Israel.	7 Era outrora costume em Israel, nos casos de resgate ou de sub-rogação, que o homem tirasse o calçado e o desse ao outro para validade da transação; isso servia de ratificação.
8 And so Boaz said to his kinsman, “Take off your shoe.” And immediately he released it from his foot.	8 O parente próximo disse, pois, a Booz: Compra-a para ti, e tirou o calçado.
9 And he said to the eldest and to all the people, “You are witnesses this day, that I have taken possession of all that belonged to Elimelech and Chilion and Mahlon, and was bequeathed to Naomi.	9 Booz disse aos anciãos e a todo o povo: Vós sois hoje testemunhas de que comprei da mão de Noêmi tudo o que pertencia a Elimelec, a Quelion e a Maalon.
10 And Ruth, the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, I have taken in marriage so as to raise up the name of the deceased in his posterity, so that his name will not be cut off from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.”	10 Com isto adquiro ao mesmo tempo Rute, a moabita, por mulher, viúva de Maalon, para conservar o nome do defunto em sua herança, e para que esse nome não se apague de entre os seus parentes e no povo da cidade. Disso sois hoje testemunhas.
11 All the people who were at the gate, along with the eldest, answered, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who enters into your house, like Rachel, and Leah, who built up the house of Israel, so that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrathah, and so that her name may be honored in Bethlehem.	11 Então todo o povo que estava na porta e todos os anciãos responderam: Somos testemunhas! O Senhor torne essa mulher que entra na tua casa semelhante a Raquel e a Lia, que fundaram a casa de Israel! Sê feliz em Efrata, adquire um nome em Belém!
12 And may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the Lord will give to you from this young woman.”	12 Que a tua casa se torne como a casa de Farés, que Tamar deu à luz a Judá, pela posteridade que te der o Senhor por esta jovem.
13 And so Boaz took Ruth, and received her as his wife, and he went in to her, and the Lord granted to her to conceive and bear a son.	13 Booz tomou, pois, Rute, que se tornou sua mulher. Aproximou-se dela, e o Senhor concedeu-lhe a graça de conceber e dar à luz um filho.
14 And the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not permitted your family to be without a successor, and may his name be called upon in Israel.	14 As mulheres diziam a Noêmi: Bendito seja Deus, que não te recusou um libertador neste dia. Que o teu nome seja um dia célebre em Israel!
15 And now you may have someone to comfort your soul and to care for you in old age, for he is born of your daughter-in-law, who loves you, and this is much better for you, than if you had seven sons.”	15 Ele te dará a vida e será o sustentáculo de tua velhice, porque tua nora, aquela que o gerou é que te ama e é para ti mais preciosa que sete filhos!
16 And taking up the boy, Naomi placed him on her bosom, and she took on the duties of carrying him and nursing him.	16 Noêmi, tomando o menino, pô-lo no seu regaço, e fazia-lhe as vezes de ama.
17 And the women of the near future were congratulating her and saying, “There was a son born to Naomi. They called his name Obed. Here is the father of Jesse, the father of David.”	17 Suas vizinhas deram-lhe nome, dizendo: Nasceu um filho a Noêmi. E chamaram ao menino Obed. Este foi pai de Isaí e avô de Davi.
18 These are the generations of Perez: Perez conceived Hezron,	18 Esta é a posteridade de Farés: Farés gerou Esron;
19 Hezron conceived Aram, Aram conceived Amminadab,	19 Esron gerou Rão; Rão gerou Aminadab;
20 Amminadab conceived Nahshon, Nahshon conceived Salmon,	20 Aminadab gerou Naasson; Naasson gerou Salmon;
21 Salmon conceived Boaz, Boaz conceived Obed,	21 Salmon gerou Booz; Booz gerou Obed;
22 Obed conceived Jesse, Jesse conceived David.	22 Obed gerou Isaí; Isaí gerou Davi.
