Ruth 4

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Boaz went and took a seat at the gate; and when he saw the closer relative of whom he had spoken come along, he called to him by name, "Come and sit beside me!" And he did so.	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 Then Boaz picked out ten of the elders of the city and asked them to sit nearby. When they had done this,	2 και ελαβεν βοος δεκα ανδρας απο των πρεσβυτερων της πολεως και ειπεν καθισατε ωδε και εκαθισαν
3 he said to the near relative: "Naomi, who has come back from the Moabite plateau, is putting up for sale the piece of land that belonged to our kinsman 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 So I thought I would inform you, bidding you before those here present, including the elders of my people, to put in your claim for it if you wish to acquire it as next of kin. But if you do not wish to claim it, tell me so, that I may be guided accordingly, for no one has a prior claim to yours, and mine is next." He answered, "I will put in my claim."	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 Boaz continued, "Once you acquire the field from Naomi, you must take also Ruth the Moabite, the widow of the late heir, and raise up a family for the departed on his estate."	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 The near relative replied, "I cannot exercise my claim lest I depreciate my own estate. Put in a claim yourself in my stead, for I cannot exercise my claim."	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 it used to be the custom in Israel that, to make binding a contract of redemption or exchange, one party would take off his sandal and give it to the other. This was the form of attestation 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 the near relative, in saying to Boaz, "Acquire it for yourself," drew off his sandal.	8 και ειπεν ο αγχιστευς τω βοος κτησαι σεαυτω την αγχιστειαν μου και υπελυσατο το υποδημα αυτου και εδωκεν αυτω
9 Boaz then said to the elders and to all the people, "You are witnesses today that I have acquired from Naomi all the holdings of Elimelech, Chilion and Mahlon.	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 I also take Ruth the Moabite, the widow of Mahlon, as my wife, in order to raise up a family for her late husband on his estate, so that the name of the departed may not perish among his kinsmen and fellow citizens. Do you witness this today?"	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 All those at the gate, including the elders, said, "We do so. May the LORD make this wife come into your house like Rachel and Leah, who between them built up the house of Israel. May you do well in Ephrathah and win fame 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 With the offspring the LORD will give you from this girl, may your house become like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah."	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 Boaz took Ruth. When they came together as man and wife, the LORD enabled her to conceive and she bore 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 Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed is the LORD who has not failed to provide you today with an heir! May he become famous 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 He will be your comfort and the support of your old age, for his mother is the daughter-in-law who loves you. She is worth more to you than 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 Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became his nurse.	16 και ελαβεν νωεμιν το παιδιον και εθηκεν εις τον κολπον αυτης και εγενηθη αυτω εις τιθηνον
17 And the neighbor women gave him his name, at the news that a grandson had been born to Naomi. They called him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, 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 descendants of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,	18 και αυται αι γενεσεις φαρες φαρες εγεννησεν τον εσρων
19 Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab,	19 εσρων δε εγεννησεν τον αρραν και αρραν εγεννησεν τον αμιναδαβ
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon,	20 και αμιναδαβ εγεννησεν τον ναασσων και ναασσων εγεννησεν τον σαλμαν
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed,	21 και σαλμαν εγεννησεν τον βοος και βοος εγεννησεν τον ωβηδ
22 Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.	22 και ωβηδ εγεννησεν τον ιεσσαι και ιεσσαι εγεννησεν τον δαυιδ .
