Ruth 4

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down.	1 και βοος ανεβη επι την πυλην και εκαθισεν εκει και ιδου ο αγχιστευτης παρεπορευετο ον ειπεν βοος και ειπεν προς αυτον βοος εκκλινας καθισον ωδε κρυφιε και εξεκλινεν και εκαθισεν
2 And Booz taking ten men of the ancients of the city, said to them: Sit ye down here.	2 και ελαβεν βοος δεκα ανδρας απο των πρεσβυτερων της πολεως και ειπεν καθισατε ωδε και εκαθισαν
3 They sat down, and he spoke to the kinsman: Noemi, who is returned from the country of Moab, will sell a parcel of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech.	3 και ειπεν βοος τω αγχιστει την μεριδα του αγρου η εστιν του αδελφου ημων του αβιμελεχ η δεδοται νωεμιν τη επιστρεφουση εξ αγρου μωαβ
4 I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field.	4 καγω ειπα αποκαλυψω το ους σου λεγων κτησαι εναντιον των καθημενων και εναντιον των πρεσβυτερων του λαου μου ει αγχιστευεις αγχιστευε ει δε μη αγχιστευεις αναγγειλον μοι και γνωσομαι οτι ουκ εστιν παρεξ σου του αγχιστευσαι καγω ειμι μετα σε ο δε ειπεν εγω ειμι αγχιστευσω
5 And Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman's hand, thou must take also Ruth the Moabitess, who was the wife of the deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance.	5 και ειπεν βοος εν ημερα του κτησασθαι σε τον αγρον εκ χειρος νωεμιν και παρα ρουθ της μωαβιτιδος γυναικος του τεθνηκοτος και αυτην κτησασθαι σε δει ωστε αναστησαι το ονομα του τεθνηκοτος επι της κληρονομιας αυτου
6 He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege, which I profess I do willingly forego.	6 και ειπεν ο αγχιστευς ου δυνησομαι αγχιστευσαι εμαυτω μηποτε διαφθειρω την κληρονομιαν μου αγχιστευσον σεαυτω την αγχιστειαν μου οτι ου δυνησομαι αγχιστευσαι
7 Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe, and gave it to his neighhour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel.	7 και τουτο το δικαιωμα εμπροσθεν εν τω ισραηλ επι την αγχιστειαν και επι το ανταλλαγμα του στησαι παν λογον και υπελυετο ο ανηρ το υποδημα αυτου και εδιδου τω πλησιον αυτου τω αγχιστευοντι την αγχιστειαν αυτου και τουτο ην μαρτυριον εν ισραηλ
8 So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot.	8 και ειπεν ο αγχιστευς τω βοος κτησαι σεαυτω την αγχιστειαν μου και υπελυσατο το υποδημα αυτου και εδωκεν αυτω
9 And he said to the ancients and to all the people: You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and Chelion's, and Mahalon's, of the hand of Noemi:	9 και ειπεν βοος τοις πρεσβυτεροις και παντι τω λαω μαρτυρες υμεις σημερον οτι κεκτημαι παντα τα του αβιμελεχ και παντα οσα υπαρχει τω χελαιων και τω μααλων εκ χειρος νωεμιν
10 And have taken to wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon, to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name be cut off, from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.	10 και γε ρουθ την μωαβιτιν την γυναικα μααλων κεκτημαι εμαυτω εις γυναικα του αναστησαι το ονομα του τεθνηκοτος επι της κληρονομιας αυτου και ουκ εξολεθρευθησεται το ονομα του τεθνηκοτος εκ των αδελφων αυτου και εκ της φυλης λαου αυτου μαρτυρες υμεις σημερον
11 Then all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name in Bethlehem:	11 και ειποσαν πας ο λαος οι εν τη πυλη μαρτυρες και οι πρεσβυτεροι ειποσαν δωη κυριος την γυναικα σου την εισπορευομενην εις τον οικον σου ως ραχηλ και ως λειαν αι ωκοδομησαν αμφοτεραι τον οικον ισραηλ και εποιησαν δυναμιν εν εφραθα και εσται ονομα εν βαιθλεεμ
12 And that the house may be, as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore unto Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.	12 και γενοιτο ο οικος σου ως ο οικος φαρες ον ετεκεν θαμαρ τω ιουδα εκ του σπερματος ου δωσει κυριος σοι εκ της παιδισκης ταυτης
13 Booz therefore took Ruth, and married her: and went in unto her, and the Lord gave her to conceive and to bear a son.	13 και ελαβεν βοος την ρουθ και εγενηθη αυτω εις γυναικα και εισηλθεν προς αυτην και εδωκεν αυτη κυριος κυησιν και ετεκεν υιον
14 And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor, that his name should be preserved in Israel.	14 και ειπαν αι γυναικες προς νωεμιν ευλογητος κυριος ος ου κατελυσε σοι σημερον τον αγχιστεα και καλεσαι το ονομα σου εν ισραηλ
15 And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.	15 και εσται σοι εις επιστρεφοντα ψυχην και του διαθρεψαι την πολιαν σου οτι η νυμφη σου η αγαπησασα σε ετεκεν αυτον η εστιν αγαθη σοι υπερ επτα υιους
16 And Noemi taking the child laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto it.	16 και ελαβεν νωεμιν το παιδιον και εθηκεν εις τον κολπον αυτης και εγενηθη αυτω εις τιθηνον
17 And the women her neighbours, congratulating with her and saying: There is a son born to Noemi: called his name Obed: he is the father of Isai, the father of David.	17 και εκαλεσαν αυτου αι γειτονες ονομα λεγουσαι ετεχθη υιος τη νωεμιν και εκαλεσαν το ονομα αυτου ωβηδ ουτος πατηρ ιεσσαι πατρος δαυιδ
18 These are the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esron,	18 και αυται αι γενεσεις φαρες φαρες εγεννησεν τον εσρων
19 Esron begot Aram, Aram begot Aminadab,	19 εσρων δε εγεννησεν τον αρραν και αρραν εγεννησεν τον αμιναδαβ
20 Aminadab begot Nahasson, Nahasson begot Salmon,	20 και αμιναδαβ εγεννησεν τον ναασσων και ναασσων εγεννησεν τον σαλμαν
21 Salmon begot Booz, Booz begot Obed,	21 και σαλμαν εγεννησεν τον βοος και βοος εγεννησεν τον ωβηδ
22 Obed begot Isai, Isai begot David.	22 και ωβηδ εγεννησεν τον ιεσσαι και ιεσσαι εγεννησεν τον δαυιδ .
