1 G2532 And G* Boaz G305 ascended G1909 unto G3588 the G4439 gate, G2532 and G2523 sat G1563 there. G2532 And G2400 behold, G3588 the G70.3 relative G3899 came near G3739 whom G2980 Boaz spoke of. G* G2532 And G2036 [²said G4314 ³to G1473 ⁴him G* ¹Boaz], G1578 In turning aside, G2523 sit G5602 here G2931.1 in private! G2532 And G1578 he turned aside, G2532 and G2523 sat.

2 G2532 And G2983 Boaz took G* G1176 ten G435 men G575 from G3588 the G4245 elders G3588 of the G4172 city, G2532 and G2036 said, G2523 Sit G5602 here! G2532 And G2523 they sat.

3 G2532 And G2036 Boaz said G* G3588 to the one G70.4 acting as next of kin, G3588 Concerning the G3310 portion G3588 of the G68 field G3739 which G1510.2.3 is G3588 G80 of our brother G1473 G3588 G* Elimelech, G3739 which G591 he gave G* to Naomi, G3588 the G1994 one returning G1537 from out of G68 the country G* of Moab,

4 G2504 that I G2036 said to myself, G601 I will uncover G3588 G3775 your ear, G1473 G3004 saying, G2932 You acquire it G1726 before G3588 the ones G2521 sitting down, G2532 and G1726 before G3588 the G4245 elders G3588 G2992 of my people! G1473 G1487 If G70.4 you are a acting as next of kin, G70.4 then act as next of kin! G1490 But if not G70.4 acting as next of kin, G312 announce it G1473 to me! G2532 and G1097 I shall know. G3754 For G3756 there is no one G1510.2.3 G3926.1 besides G1473 you G3588 G70.4 to act as next of kin, G2504 and I G1510.2.1 am G3326 after G1473 you. G3588 G1161 And G2036 he said, G1473 I G1510.2.1 am. G70.4 I shall act as next of kin.

5 G2532 And G2036 Boaz said, G* G1722 In G2250 the day G3588 G2932 you acquire G1473 G3588 the G68 field G1537 from G5495 the hand G* of Naomi, G2532 also G3844 of G* Ruth G3588 the G* Moabitess, G1135 wife G3588 of the G2348 one having died, G2532 even G1473 she G2932 [³acquire G1473 ¹you G1163 ²must], G5620 so as G450 to raise up G3588 the G3686 name G3588 of the one G2348 having died, G1909 for G3588 G2817 his inheritance. G1473

6 G2532 And G2036 [³said G3588 ¹the G70.3 ²relative], G3756 I shall not G1410 be able G70.4 to act as next of kin G1683 myself, G3379 lest at any time G1311 I ruin G3588 G2817 my right of inheritance. G1473 G70.4 [³act as next of kin G4572 ²yourself G1473 ¹You] G3588 G70.2 for my inheritance! G1473 G3754 for G3756 I shall not G1410 be able G70.4 to act as next of kin.

7 G2532 And G3778 this G3588 was the G1345 ordinance G1715 in former times G1722 in G3588 G* Israel G1909 for G3588 the G70.2 right of inheritance, G2532 and G1909 for G3588 the G465 equivalent, G3588 G2476 to establish G3956 every G3056 matter. G5277.3 [²untied G435 ¹A man] G3588 G5266 his sandal, G1473 G2532 and G1325 he gave it G3588 to G4139 his neighbor, G1473 G3588 to the one G70.4 acting as next of kin G3588 G70.2 for his right of inheritance; G1473 G2532 and G3778 this G1510.7.3 was G3142 testimony G1722 in G* Israel.

1 H1162 Then Boaz H5927 [H8804] went up H8179 to the gate, H3427 [H8799] and sat down H1350 [H8802] there: and, behold, the kinsman H1162 of whom Boaz H1696 [H8765] spoke H5674 [H8802] came H559 [H8799] by; to whom he said, H1945 Ho, H6423 such H492 an one! H5493 [H8798] turn aside, H3427 [H8798] sit down H5493 [H8799] here. And he turned aside, H3427 [H8799] and sat down.

2 H3947 [H8799] And he took H6235 ten H582 men H2205 of the elders H5892 of the city, H559 [H8799] and said, H3427 [H8798] Sit ye down H3427 [H8799] here. And they sat down.

3 H559 [H8799] And he said H1350 [H8802] to the kinsman, H5281 Naomi, H7725 [H8804] that hast come again H7704 out of the country H4124 of Moab, H4376 [H8804] selleth H2513 a parcel H7704 of land, H251 which was our brother H458 Elimelech's:

4 H559 [H8804] And I thought H1540 H241 [H8799] to tell H559 [H8800] thee, saying, H7069 [H8798] Buy H3427 [H8802] it before the inhabitants, H2205 and before the elders H5971 of my people. H1350 [H8799] If thou wilt redeem H1350 [H8798] it, redeem H1350 [H8799] it: but if thou wilt not redeem H5046 [H8685] it, then tell H3045 [H8799] me, that I may know: H1350 [H8800] for there is none to redeem H2108 it besides H310 thee; and I am after H559 [H8799] thee. And he said, H1350 [H8799] I will redeem it.

5 H559 [H8799] Then said H1162 Boaz, H3117 What day H7069 [H8800] thou buyest H7704 the field H3027 of the hand H5281 of Naomi, H7069 [H8804] thou must buy H7327 it also of Ruth H4125 the Moabitess, H802 the wife H4191 [H8801] of the dead, H6965 [H8687] to raise up H8034 the name H4191 [H8801] of the dead H5159 upon his inheritance.

6 H1350 [H8802] And the kinsman H559 [H8799] said, H3201 [H8799] I cannot H1350 [H8800] redeem H7843 [H8686] it for myself, lest I decay H5159 mine own inheritance: H1350 [H8798] redeem H1353 thou my right H3201 [H8799] to thyself; for I cannot H1350 [H8800] redeem it.

Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ascendit ergo Booz ad portam, et sedit ibi. Cumque vidisset propinquum præterire, de quo prius sermo habitus est, dixit ad eum: Declina paulisper, et sede hic: vocans eum nomine suo. Qui divertit, et sedit. ² Tollens autem Booz decem viros de senioribus civitatis, dixit ad eos: Sedete hic. ³ Quibus sedentibus, locutus est ad propinquum: Partem agri fratris nostri Elimelech vendet Noëmi, quæ reversa est de regione Moabitide: ⁴ quod audire te volui, et tibi dicere coram cunctis sedentibus, et majoribus natu de populo meo. Si vis possidere jure propinquitatis, eme, et posside: sin autem displicet tibi, hoc ipsum indica mihi, ut sciam quid facere debeam: nullus enim est propinquus, excepto te, qui prior es, et me, qui secundus sum. At ille respondit: Ego agrum emam. ⁵ Cui dixit Booz: Quando emeris agrum de manu mulieris, Ruth quoque Moabitidem, quæ uxor defuncti fuit, debes accipere: ut suscites nomen propinqui tui in hæreditate sua. ⁶ Qui respondit: Cedo juri propinquitatis: neque enim posteritatem familiæ meæ delere debeo: tu meo utere privilegio, quo me libenter carere profiteor. ⁷ Hic autem erat mos antiquitus in Israël inter propinquos, ut siquando alter alteri suo juri cedebat, ut esset firma concessio, solvebat homo calceamentum suum, et dabat proximo suo: hoc erat testimonium cessionis in Israël.

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Therfor Booz stiede to the yate, and sat there; and whanne he hadde seyn the kynesman passe forth, of whom the word was had, Booz seide to hym, Bowe thou a litil, and sitte here; and he clepide hym bi his name. And he turnede, and sat. ² Forsothe Booz took ten `men of the eldere men of the citee, and seide to hem, Sitte ye here. ³ And while thei saten, Booz spak to the kynesman, Noemy, that turnede ayen fro the cuntrey of Moab, seelde the part of the feeld of oure brother Elymelech, ⁴ which thing Y wolde that thou here; and Y wolde seie to thee bifor alle `men syttynge and grettere in birthe of my puple. If thou wolt haue in possessioun the feeld bi riyt of nyy kyn, bye thou, and `haue thou in possessioun; sotheli if it displesith thee, schewe thou this same thing to me, that Y wyte what Y `owe to do; for noon is niy in kyn, outakun thee which art the formere, and outakun me which am the secunde. And he answeride, Y schal bie the feeld. ⁵ To whom Booz seide, Whanne thou hast bouyte the feeld of the `hond of the womman, thou owist `to take also Ruth of Moab, that was the wijf of the deed man, that thou reise the name of thi kynesman in his eritage. ⁶ Which answeride, Y forsake the ryyt of nyy kyn; for Y owe not to do awei the eritage of my meynee; vse thou my priuelegie, which priuelegie Y knowleche me to wante gladli. ⁷ Forsothe this was the custom bi eld tyme in Israel among kynesmen, that if a man yaf his riyt to anothir man, that the grauntyng were stidefast, the man vnlaase his scho, and yaf to his kynesman; this was the witnessyng of the yift in Israel.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boos wente vp to ye gate, and sat him downe there: & beholde, whan ye nye kynsman wente by, Boos spake vnto him, & sayde: Come & syt the downe here (and called him by his name.) And he came & sat him downe, ² & he toke ten men of the Elders of ye cite, & sayde: Syt you downe here. And they sat the downe. ³ The sayde he to the nye kynsman: Naemi which is come againe fro the lode of the Moabites offreth to sell ye pece of londe, yt was oure brothers Eli Melech, ⁴ therfore thoughte I to shewe it before thine eares, & to tell the: Yf thou wilt redeme it, then bye it before the citesyns & before the Elders of my people: but yf thou wylt not redeme it, then tell me, yt I maie knowe: for there is no nye kynsma excepte thou, and I nexte after the. He sayde: I wil redeme it. ⁵ Boos saide: In the daye yt thou byest the lode out of ye hande of Naemi, thou must take Ruth also the Moabitisse the wife of the deed, that thou mayest rayse vp a name to ye deed in his inheritaunce. ⁶ The sayde he: I can not redeme it, lest I happlye destroye myne awne enheritaunce. Redeme thou yt I shulde redeme, for I can not redeme it. ⁷ But this was an olde custome in Israel concernynge the redemynge & chauginge, yt all matters mighte be stable, the one put of his shue, & gaue it vnto ye other: yt was the testimony in Israel.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then went Boaz unto the gate and sat him down there. And behold, the kinsman of which Boaz spake came by. Unto whom he said, "Come and sit down here, and called him by his name." And he turned in and sat down. ² Then he took ten men of the elders of the city and said, "Sit ye down here." And they sat down. ³ Then he said unto the kinsman, "Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, will sell a parcel of land which was our brother Elimelech's. ⁴ And I thought to do thee to know, and bid thee buy it before the inhabiters and elders of my people, if thou be disposed to challenge it: but and if thou wilt not purchase it, then tell me that I may know it. For there is none to challenge it save thou, and I next after thee." And the other answered, "I will purchase it." ⁵ Then said Boaz, "What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must take also Ruth the Moabite the wife of the dead, to stir up the name of the dead upon his inheritance." ⁶ Then said the kinsman, "I cannot purchase it for marrying of mine own inheritance: take thou my right to thee, for I cannot purchase it." ⁷ Now this was the manner of old time in Israel concerning purchase and changing, for to establish all things: that a man must pluck off his shoe and give it his neighbour, and this was a witness in Israel.

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then went Booz vnto the gate and sat him doune there: and beholde, the kinsman of which Booz spake, came by. Vnto whom he sayde: come and sytte doune here, and called him by his name. And he turned in and sat doune. ² Then he toke ten men of the elders of the cyty and said, syt ye doune here. And they sat doune. ³ Then he sayde vnto the kynsman: Noemi that is come againe out of the countreye of Moab, will selle a parcell of lande, which was oure brother Elimelecs. ⁴ And I thought to do the to wete and bidde the bye it before the enhabitoures and elders of my people, yf thou be disposed to calenge it: but and yf thou wilt not purchase it, then tell me that I maye wete it. For there is none to calenge it saue thou, and I nexte the. And the other answered, I wyl purchase it. ⁵ Then sayde Booz, what daye thou byeste the feld of the hand of Noemi, thou must take also Ruth the Moabyte the wyfe of the death to stere vp the name of the deed vpon his enheritaunce. ⁶ Then sayde the kynsman: I can not purchase it for marring of myne own enheritaunce: take thou my ryghte to the, for I cannot purchase it. ⁷ Now this was the maner of olde tyme in Israell concerninge purches and chaunging, for to stablyshe al thing: that a man must plucke of his showe and geue it hys neyghboure, and thys was a wytnesse in Israel.

And he turned in, and sate downe. ² And he toke ten men of the elders of the citie, and sayd: sytye downe here. And they sat downe. ³ And he sayde vnto the kynsman: Naomi that is come agayne out of the contreye of Moab will sell a parcell of lande, which was oure brother Elimelecs. ⁴ And I thought to do the to wete, and bid the bye it before the enhabitoures and elders of my people. Yf thou be disposed to redeme it, do: but and yf thou wilt not pourchase it, then tell me, that I maye knowe. For there is none to calenge it, saue thou, and I nexte the. And the other answered: I will pourchase it. ⁵ Then sayde Booz, what daye thou biest the felde of the hand of Naomi, thou must take also Ruth the Moabite the wyfe of the deed, to stere vp the name of the deed vpon his enheritaunce. ⁶ The kinsman answered: I cannot purchase it, for marringe of myne awne enheritaunce: take thou my right to the, for I cannot purchase it. ⁷ Now, this was the maner of olde tyme in Israell concerninge purches and chaunging, for to stablishe all thinge: that a man must plucke of his showe, and geue it his neyghboure, and this was a sure witnesse in Israell.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then went Boaz vp to the gate, and sate there, and beholde, the kinsman, of whome Boaz had spoken, came by: and he sayd, Ho, snch one, come, sit downe here. And he turned, and sate downe. ² Then he tooke ten men of the Elders of the citie, and sayd, Sit ye downe here. And they sate downe. ³ And he said vnto ye kinsman, Naomi, that is come againe out of ye countrey of Moab, wil sell a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelechs. ⁴ And I thought to aduertise thee, saying, Buy it before the assistants, and before the Elders of my people. If thou wilt redeeme it, redeeme it: but if thou wilt not redeeme it, tel me: for I know that there is none besides thee to redeeme it, and I am after thee. Then he answered, I wil redeeme it. ⁵ Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou mnst also buy it of Ruth the Moabitesse the wife of the dead, to stirre vp the name of the dead, vpon his inheritance. ⁶ And the kinsman answered, I can not redeeme it, lest I destroy mine owne inheritance: redeeme my right to thee, for I can not redeeme it. ⁷ Now this was the maner beforetime in Israel, concerning redeeming and changing, for to stablish all things: a man did plucke off his shooe, and gaue it his neighbour, and this was a sure witnes in Israel.

Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then went Booz vp to the gate, and sat him downe there: and beholde, the kinsman of which Booz spake, came by, vnto whom, he sayde: Ho, suche one, come, sit downe here. And he turned, & sat downe ² And he toke ten men of the elders of the citie, and said: sit ye downe here. And they sat downe ³ And he sayd vnto the kinsman: Naomi that is come agayne out of the countrey of Moab, will sel a parcell of lande, which was our brother Elimelechs ⁴ And I thought to do thee to wyt, and byd the bye it before thee inhabitauntes and elders of my people. If thou wilt redeeme it, redeeme it: but & if thou wilt not redeeme it, then tell me, that I may knowe: For there is none to redeeme it, saue thou, and I next thee. And the other aunswered: I will redeeme it ⁵ Then sayd Booz: What day thou biest the fielde of the hande of Naomi, thou must bye it also of Ruth the Moabite the wyfe of the dead, to stirre vp the name of the dead vpon his inheritaunce ⁶ The kinsman aunswered: I can not redeeme it, for marring of myne owne inheritaunce: redeeme thou my right to thee, for I cannot redeeme it ⁷ Nowe this was the maner of olde time in Israel concerning redeeming & chaunging, for to stablishe al thing: that a man must plucke of his shoe, & geue it his neyghbour: And this was a sure witnesse in Israel

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ² And Booz, taking ten men of the ancients of the city, said to them: Sit ye down here. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 neighbour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. ² And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. ³ And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: ⁴ And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. ⁵ Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. ⁷ Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel.

1 H5927 Then went H1162 Boaz H5927 up [H8804] H8179 to the gate H3427 , and sat him down [H8799] H1350 there: and, behold, the kinsman [H8802] H1162 of whom Boaz H1696 spake [H8765] H5674 came [H8802] H559 by; unto whom he said [H8799] H1945 , Ho H6423 , such H492 a one H5493 ! turn aside [H8798] H3427 , sit down [H8798] H5493 here.

4 H559 And I thought [H8804] H1540 to advertise [H8799] H241 H559 thee, saying [H8800] H7069 , Buy [H8798] H3427 it before the inhabitants [H8802] H2205 , and before the elders H5971 of my people H1350 .

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. And behold when the kinsman of whom Boaz had spoken was passing by, Boaz said to him, Turn aside and sit down here thou hidden man. So he turned aside, and sat down. ² Then Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. ³ And when they had taken their seats, Boaz said to the kinsman, With respect to that portion of the field which belonged to our brother Elimelech, and which is given to Noemin, who is returned from the country of Moab, ⁴ I have promised to open thine ear, saying, Purchase it in the presence of these men who are sitting here, even in the presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt do the kinsman's part, do it; but if thou wilt not perform the office of a kinsman, tell me, that I may know; for there is none besides thee to perform the office of a kinsman, except myself, who am next after thee. And he said, I will do the kinsman's part. ⁵ Then Boaz said, On the clay thou purchasest the field of Noemin, thou must purchase it with Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance. ⁶ Thereupon the relation said, "I cannot take upon me the office of a kinsman, lest I mar my own inheritance. Take thou upon thyself that office of a kinsman which is my right; for I cannot perform it." ⁷ Now it was the custom heretofore in Israel, in regard to the transfer of the right of consanguinity, in order to give it validity, that the man loosed his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour, who took upon him his right of consanguinity, and this was the evidence in Israel.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there: and behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here.

1 H1162 Then Boaz H5927 [H8804] went up H8179 to the gate H3427 [H8799] , and sat down H1350 [H8802] there: and, behold, the kinsman H1162 of whom Boaz H1696 [H8765] spoke H5674 [H8802] came H559 [H8799] by; to whom he said H1945 , Ho H6423 , such H492 an one H5493 [H8798] ! turn aside H3427 [H8798] , sit down H5493 [H8799] here.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Booz went up to the gate, and sat there; and behold, the relative passed by, of whom Booz spoke: and Booz said to him, Turn aside, sit down here, such a one: and he turned aside and sat down. ² And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye here; and they sat down. ³ And Booz said to the relative, The matter regards the portion of the field which was our brother Elimelech's which was given to Noemin, now returning out of the land of Moab; ⁴ and I said, I will inform thee, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if thou wilt redeem it, redeem it, but if thou wilt not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside thee to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after thee: and he said, I am here, I will redeem it. ⁵ And Booz said, In the day of thy buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, thou must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do thou redeem my right for thyself, for I shall not be able to redeem it. ⁷ And this was in former time the ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour that redeemed his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But Bo’az went up to the gate, and sat down there; and, behold, the kinsman of whom Bo’az had spoken came passing by; and he said unto him, Turn aside hither, sit down here, such a one. And he turned aside, and sat down. ² And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. ³ And he said unto the kinsman, Na’omi, that is returned out of the field of Moab, hath to sell a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s. ⁴ And I thought to inform thee of it, saying, Buy it before those sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it; but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none beside thee to redeem it, and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. ⁵ Then said Bo’az, On the day that thou buyest the field out of the hand of Na’omi, thou buyest it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the kinsman said, I am not able to redeem it for myself, lest I injure my own inheritance: redeem thou what I should redeem for thyself; for I am not able to redeem it. ⁷ Now this was formerly the custom in Israel at a redeeming and at an exchanging, to confirm any thing, that a man pulled off his shoe, and gave it to the other; and this was the manner of testimony in Israel.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ² And he taketh ten men of the elders of the city, and saith, `Sit down here;' and they sit down. 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 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 .' 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.' 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.' 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.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Boaz went up to the gate and sat there: and behold, the blood relation whom Boaz spake of, passing by; and he will say, Turn aside, sit down here; thou such a one. And he will turn aside, and sit down. ² And he will take ten men from the old men of the citv, and he will say, Sit ye down here. And they will sit down. ³ And he will say to the blood relative, The portion of the field which was to our brother Elimelech, Naomi turning back from the field of Moab, sells: ⁴ And I said, I will reveal to thine ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants, and before the old men of my people. If thou wilt redeem, redeem: and if thou wilt not redeem, announce to me, and I shall know: for none besides thee to redeem; and I after thee; and he will say, I will redeem. ⁵ And Boaz will say, In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of Naomi, and from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, thou boughtest it to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the near relative will say, I shall not be able to redeem for me, lest I shall destroy my inheritance: redeem to thyself; thou the near relative: for I shall not be able to redeem. ⁷ And this before in Israel upon redemption and upon exchange, to set up all the word; a man drew off his shoe and gave to his neighbor: and this the precept in Israel.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. And behold, he that had the right of redemption, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by. And he said, Thou, such a one, turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside and sat down. ² And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And they sat down. ³ And he said to him that had the right of redemption: Naomi, who is come back out of the country of Moab, sells the allotment that was our brother Elimelech`s. ⁴ And I thought I would apprise thee of it and say, Buy [it] in the presence of the inhabitants, and in the presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem [it], redeem; but if thou wilt not redeem, tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem [it]. ⁵ And Boaz said, On the day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And he that had the right of redemption said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance. Redeem thou for thyself what I should redeem, for I cannot redeem [it]. ⁷ Now this [was the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redemption and concerning exchange, to confirm the whole matter: a man drew off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour, and this was the [mode of] attestation in Israel.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. ² And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. ³ And he said unto the near kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s: ⁴ And I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. ⁵ Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot redeem it. ⁷ Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, for to confirm all things; a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was the [manner of] attestation in Israel.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. ² And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. ³ And he said unto the near kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: ⁴ and I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it besides thee; and I am after thee.

⁷ Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the [manner of] attestation in Israel.

1 H1162 Now Boaz H5927 went H5927 up H8179 to the gate, H3427 and sat him down H1350 there: and, behold, the near kinsman H1162 of whom Boaz H1696 spake H5674 came H559 by; unto whom he said, H1945 Ho, H6423 such H492 a one! H5493 turn aside, H3427 sit down H5493 here. And he turned aside, H3427 and sat down.

2 H3947 And he took H6235 ten H582 men H2205 of the elders H5892 of the city, H559 and said, H3427 Sit ye down H3427 here. And they sat down.

3 H559 And he said H1350 unto the near kinsman, H5281 Naomi, H7725 that is come again H7704 out of the country H4124 of Moab, H4376 selleth H2513 the parcel H7704 of land, H251 which was our brother H458 Elimelech's:

4 H559 And I thought H1540 to disclose H559 it unto thee, saying, H7069 Buy H3427 it before them H2205 that sit here, and before the elders H5971 of my people. H1350 If thou wilt redeem H1350 it, redeem H1350 it: but if thou wilt not redeem H5046 it, then tell H3045 me, that I may know; H1350 for there is none to redeem H2108 it besides H310 thee; and I am after H559 thee. And he said, H1350 I will redeem it.

5 H559 Then said H1162 Boaz, H3117 What day H7069 thou buyest H7704 the field H3027 of the hand H5281 of Naomi, H7069 thou must buy H7327 it also of Ruth H4125 the Moabitess, H802 the wife H4191 of the dead, H6965 to raise up H8034 the name H4191 of the dead H5159 upon his inheritance.

6 H1350 And the near kinsman H559 said, H3201 I cannot H1350 redeem H7843 it for myself, lest I mar H5159 mine own inheritance: H1350 take H1353 thou my right H3201 of redemption on thee; for I cannot H1350 redeem it.

7 H6440 Now this was the custom in former time H3478 in Israel H1353 concerning redeeming H8545 and concerning exchanging, H6965 to confirm H1697 all things: H376 a man H8025 drew off H5275 his shoe, H5414 and gave H7453 it to his neighbor; H8584 and this was the manner of attestation H3478 in Israel.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there; and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; unto whom he said: 'Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here.' And he turned aside, and sat down. ² And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said: 'Sit ye down here.' And they sat down. ³ And he said unto the near kinsman: 'Naomi, that is come back out of the field of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's; ⁴ and I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying: Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it; but if it will not be redeemed, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee.' And he said: 'I will redeem it.' ⁵ Then said Boaz: 'What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi - hast thou also bought of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance?' ⁶ And the near kinsman said: 'I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance; take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot redeem it.' - ⁷ Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour; and this was the attestation in Israel. -

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now, Boaz, went up to the gate, and sat him down there, and lo! the kinsman, passing by, of whom Boaz had spoken, so he said––Turn aside! and sit down here, such a one! And he turned aside, and sat down. ² Then fetched he ten men of the elders of the city, and said––Sit ye down here. And they sat down. ³ Then said he to the kinsman, The parcel of land that was our brother Elimelech’s, is to be disposed of by Naomi, who hath returned out of the country of Moab; ⁴ and, I, thought, I would unveil thine ear, saying––Take it over in presence of such as are here seated, and in presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt act as kinsman, act as kinsman, but, if thou wilt not so act, only tell me––that I may know, for there is none who can set thee aside as kinsman, but, I, am after thee. And he said, I, will act as kinsman. ⁵ Then said Boaz, What day thou takest over the land from the hand of Naomi, also, of Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, dost thou take [it], to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ Then said the kinsman––I cannot act as kinsman for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance,––do, thou, for thyself act as kinsman in my right, for I cannot so redeem. ⁷ Now, this aforetime, [was the way] in Israel, at a redeeming, and at an exchanging, to confirm every word: A man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour,––yea, this, was the way of taking to witness, in Israel.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boaz had gone up to the gate and sat down there, when the kinsman redeemer was passing by of whom Boaz had spoken. Boaz said to him, Do turn in, do sit down here, So-and-so. And he turned in and sat down. ² Then Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city and said, Sit here. When they were seate. ³ he stated to the kinsman redeemer:Naomi, who has returned from the field of Moab, has put up for sale the portion of the field that our kinsman Elimelech had. ⁴ As for me, I thought I should reveal it to your ear, saying, Acquire it in front of those seated here, in front of the elders of my people. Should you want to redeem, so redeem it. Yet should you not redeem, do tell me so that I may know, for there is no one except you to redeem, and I am after you. He replied, I shall redeem it. ⁵ Then Boaz continued, On the day you acquire the field from the hand of Naomi, you acquire also Ruth, the Moabite wife of the dead, in order to raise up the name of the dead on his allotment. ⁶ The kinsman redeemer replied, I am not able to redeem it for myself, lest I impair my own allotment. As for you, redeem my redemption right for yourself, for I am not able to redeem it. ⁷ Now this was the custom beforetime in Israel, concerning redemption and exchange, to confirm every matter:A man would pull off his sandal and give it to his associate; this was the attestation in Israel.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated. ² Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats. ³ Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's: ⁴ And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it. ⁵ Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage. ⁶ And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation's part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself. ⁷ Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.

If you will redeem, redeem it. But if you will not redeem, tell me so that I may know. For there is none to redeem besides you. And I am after you. And he said, I will redeem. ⁵ And Boaz said, In the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy also from the hand of Ruth of Moab, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance. You redeem my right to yourself, for I cannot redeem. ⁷ And this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, to confirm everything. A man plucked off his sandal and gave it to his neighbor. And this was a testimony in Israel.

If you will redeem, redeem. But if you will not redeem, tell me so that I may know. For there is no one besides you to redeem, and I after you. And he said, I will redeem it. ⁵ And Boaz said, In the day you buy the field from Naomi's hand, even you have bought from Ruth of Moab, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance. ⁶ And the near kinsman said, I am not able to redeem for myself, that I not mar my own inheritance. You redeem for yourself my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem. ⁷ And this formerly was done in Israel for redemption, and for changing, to confirm every thing: A man would draw off his sandal and gave to his neighbor.

And Boaz ascends to the portal and settles there; and behold, the redeemer of whom Boaz worded passes by; to whom he says, Ho, such a one! Turn aside! Settle here! - and he turns aside and settles. ² And he takes ten men of the elders of the city and says, You settle here. - and they settle. ³ And he says to the redeemer, Noomiy, who returned from the fields of Moab, sold an allotment of field, of our brother Eli Melech; ⁴ and I say to expose in your ear, saying, Chattel in front of the settlers and in front of the elders of my people - if you redeem, redeem; but if you redeem not, then tell me, so that I know; for there is no one to redeem except you; and I after you. And he says, I redeem. ⁵ And Boaz says, The day you chattel the field of the hand of Noomiy, you also chattel of Ruth the Moabiyth, the woman of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the redeemer says, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I ruin my own inheritance; redeem my redemption to yourself; for I cannot redeem it. ⁷ Now at the face of Yisra El concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging to confirm all words was this; a man draws his shoe and gives it to his friend; and this is the witness in Yisra El.

Take thou my right of redemption on thee, for I cannot redeem it. ⁷ Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: A man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor.

1 H1162 Now Boaz H5927 went H5927 up H8179 to the gate, H3427 and sat down H1350 there. Behold, the near kinsman H1162 of whom Boaz H1696 spoke H5674 came H6423 by; to whom H1696 he said, H5674 "Come H5493 over here, H1945 friend, H3427 and sit down!" H5493 He turned aside, H3427 and sat down.

2 H3947 He took H6235 ten H582 men H2205 of the elders H5892 of the city, H559 and said, H3427 "Sit down H3427 here." They sat down.

3 H559 He said H1350 to the near kinsman, H5281 "Naomi, H7725 who has come back H7704 out of the country H4124 of Moab, H4376 is selling H2513 the parcel H7704 of land, H251 which was our brother H458 Elimelech's.

4 H559 I thought H1540 to disclose H559 it to you, saying, H7069 ‘Buy H3427 it before those H2205 who sit here, and before the elders H5971 of my people.' H1350 If you will redeem H1350 it, redeem H1350 it; but if you will not redeem H5046 it, then tell H3045 me, that I may know.

7 H6440 Now this was the custom in former time H3478 in Israel H1353 concerning redeeming H8545 and concerning exchanging, H6965 to confirm H1697 all things: H376 a man H8025 took off H5275 his shoe, H5414 and gave H7453 it to his neighbor; H8584 and this was the way of attestation H3478 in Israel.

If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it, but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me that I may know, for there is no one to redeem it besides thee, and I after thee.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Boaz went up to the gate, and sat there. And behold, the relative passed by, of whom Boaz spoke. And Boaz said to him, Turn aside, and sit down here.

And he said, I am here, I will redeem it. ⁵ And Boaz said, On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi and of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the deceased, you must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I ruin my own inheritance; you redeem my right for yourself, for I shall not be able to redeem it. ⁷ And this was in former time the ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor that redeemed his right; and this was for a testimony in Israel.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Booz went up to the gate, and sat there; and behold, the relative passed by, of whom Booz spoke: and Booz said to him, Turn aside, sit down here, such a one: and he turned aside and sat down. ² And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you⌃ here; and they sat down. ³ And Booz said to the relative, [The matter regards] the portion of the field which was our brother Elimelech's which was given to Noemin, now returning out of the land of Moab; ⁴ and I said, I will inform you, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if you will redeem it, redeem it, but if you will not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside you to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after you: and he said, I am [here], I will redeem it. ⁵ And Booz said, In the day of your buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, you must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do you redeem my right for yourself, for I shall not be able to redeem [it]. ⁷ And this [was] in former time the ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor that redeemed his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boaz went to the public place in the town and sat down. When the kinsman-redeemer came along, the one he had mentioned, Boaz said: »Come here, and sit down.« He came and was seated. ² Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said: »Be seated here. And they took their seats.« ³ Then Boaz said to the close relative: »Naomi has come back from the country of Moab. She is offering for a price that bit of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech. ⁴ »I am giving you a chance to take it with the approval of those seated here, the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relative to do, then do it. If you will not do it, say so to me now. There is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you, myself.« And he said: »I will do it.« ⁵ Then Boaz said: »On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.« ⁶ The near relative said: »I am not able to redeem it for myself, for fear of damaging the heritage I have. You may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.« ⁷ It was the custom for the seller to take off his sandal and give to the buyer to settle a sale or exchange of property. By doing this, Israelites showed that the matter was settled.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boaz Acts to Fulfill His ResponsibilitiesMeanwhile, Boaz approached the city gate and sat down there. Just then, the very same related redeemer whom Boaz had mentioned came by, so Boaz called out to him, “Come over and sit down here, my friend!” So the man came over and sat down.
² Boaz selected ten of the town elders and spoke to them, “Sit down here.” So they sat down ³ and Boaz addressed the related redeemer directly: “A portion of a field belonging to our relative Elimelech is up for sale by Naomi, who recently returned from the country of Moab. ⁴ So I thought to myself I ought to tell you that you must make a public purchase of this before the town residents and the elders of my people. So if you intend to act as the related redeemer, then do so. But if not, let me know, because except for you—and I after you—there is no one to fulfill the duties of a related redeemer.”
The man responded, “I will act as related redeemer.”
⁵ A Complication Arises and is ResolvedBoaz continued, “On the very day you buy the field from Naomi, you’re also “buying” Ruth the Moabite woman, the wife of her dead husband, so the family name may be continued as an inheritance.”
⁶ At this, the nearer related redeemer replied, “Then I am unable to act as related redeemer, because that would complicate my own inheritance. You act instead as the related redeemer, because I cannot do so.”
⁷ During Israel’s earlier history, all things concerning redeeming or changing inheritances were confirmed by a man taking off his sandal and giving it to the other party, thereby creating a public record in Israel.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Boaz had gone up to the city gate and sat there. And look, the redeemer of whom Boaz had spoken was passing by. And he said, "Come over here to sit, _⌊friend_⌋."* And he came over and sat. ² And he took ten men from the elders of the city and said, "Sit here." And they sat. ³ And he said to the redeemer, "Naomi, who returned from the countryside of Moab, is selling the tract of land which was for our brother Elimelech. ⁴ And I thought _⌊I would tell you_⌋* and say, '_⌊Buy it in the presence of_⌋* those sitting and before the elders of my people,' if you want to redeem it, redeem it. But if you do not want to redeem, tell me so that I may know, for there is no one except you to redeem it, and I am after you." And he said, "I want to redeem it." ⁵ And Boaz said, "On the day of your acquiring the field from the hand of Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the wife of the dead man, in order to raise up for the name of the dead his inheritance." ⁶ And the redeemer said, "I am not able to redeem for myself, lest I ruin my inheritance. You redeem for yourself my kinsman-redemption, for I am not able to redeem it." ⁷ (Now this _⌊was the custom in former times_⌋* in Israel concerning the kinsman-redemption and transfer of property: to confirm the matter, a man removed his sandal and gave it to his fellow countryman. This was the manner of attesting in Israel.)

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Meanwhile, Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the kinsman-redeemer of whom he had spoken came along, and Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down. ² Then Boaz took ten of the elders of the city and said, “Sit here,” and they did so. ³ And he said to the kinsman-redeemer, “Naomi, who has returned from the land of Moab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech. ⁴ I thought I should inform you that you may buy it back in the presence of those seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you want to redeem it, do so. But if you will not redeem it, tell me so I may know, because there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you.” “I will redeem it,” he replied. ⁵ Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi and also from Ruth the Moabitess, you must also acquire the widow of the deceased in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance.” ⁶ The kinsman-redeemer replied, “I cannot redeem it myself, or I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption, because I cannot redeem it.” ⁷ Now in former times in Israel, concerning the redemption or exchange of property, to make any matter legally binding a man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party, and this was a confirmation in Israel.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. And behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by, to whom he said, Such man, stay, turn aside. Sit down here. And he turned aside and sat down. ² And he took ten men of the elders of the city and said, Sit you* down here. And they sat down.
³ And he said to the near kinsman, Naomi, who has come again out of the country of Moab, sells the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's. ⁴ And I thought to disclose it to you, saying, Buy it before those who sit here and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it, but if you will not redeem it, then tell me that I may know, for there is none to redeem it besides you and I am after you. And he said, I will redeem it. ⁵ Then Boaz said, That day you buy the field of the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself lest I mar my own inheritance. You take my right of redemption on you, for I cannot redeem it.
⁷ Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: A man drew off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor. And this was the manner of attestation in Israel.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Booz alla vers la porte de la ville, et après s’y être assis, il vit venir le parent dont il avait parlé; et Booz lui dit: Approche, assieds-toi ici, homme dissimulé. Et l’autre approcha et il s’assit. ² Et Booz prit dix des anciens de la ville, et il leur dit: Asseyez-vous là. Et ils s’assirent. ³ Et Booz dit au parent le plus proche. Il y a un champ de notre frère Elimélech qui a été donné à Noémi, laquelle est revenue de Moab. ⁴ Et moi j’ai dit que je t’en informerais et te dirais: Prends-en possession devant ceux qui sont assis, tous anciens de notre peuple. Si tu veut racheter, rachète; si tu ne le veux, déclare-le-moi, je saurai qu’il n’y a plus personne qui doive racheter, et je viens après toi. Et l’autre répondit: Je rachèterai. ⁵ Et Booz lui dit: Le jour où tu acquerras le champ des mains de Noémi, et du consentement de Ruth la Moabite, femme du défunt, il faudra que tu la prennes aussi afin de faire revivre le nom de son mari sur son héritage. ⁶ Et le parent le plus proche dit: Je ne suis point capable de le racheter pour moi-même, sinon au détriment de mon propre héritage; rachète pour toi-même ce que j’ai le droit de racheter, parce que je ne puis le racheter. ⁷ Or, dès longtemps en Israël cette règle existait concernant les rachats, et les marchés: pour confirmer toute parole, l’homme, détachait sa chaussure et la donnait à son proche, qui reprenait son droit de rachat. Tel était le témoignage en Israël.

Et Boaz monta à la porte, et s'assit là. Et voici, celui qui avait le droit de rachat, et dont Boaz avait parlé, vint à passer; et il dit: Toi, un tel, détourne-toi, assieds-toi ici.

Et ils s'assirent. ³ Et il dit à celui qui avait le droit de rachat: Naomi, qui est revenue des champs de Moab, vend la pièce de terre qui était à notre frère Élimélec. ⁴ Et moi, je me suis dit: Je t'en informerai, et je te dirai: Achète-la en la présence des habitants et en la présence des anciens de mon peuple. Si tu veux racheter, rachète; et si tu ne veux pas racheter, déclare-le moi, afin que je le sache; car il n'y a personne que toi pour racheter, et moi je suis après toi. Et il dit: Je rachèterai. ⁵ Et Boaz dit: Au jour que tu achèteras le champ de la main de Naomi, tu l'achèteras aussi de Ruth, la Moabite, femme du défunt, pour relever le nom du défunt sur son héritage. ⁶ Et celui qui avait le droit de rachat dit: Je ne puis pas le racheter pour moi, de peur que je ne ruine mon héritage; use, toi, de mon droit de rachat, car je ne puis racheter. ⁷ Or c'était jadis une coutume en Israël, en cas de rachat et d'échange, que, pour confirmer toute affaire, l'un ôtait sa sandale et la donnait à l'autre; c'était là une coutume en Israël.

Et il se détourna, et s'assit. ² Et Booz prit dix hommes d'entre les Anciens de la ville, et leur dit : Asseyez-vous ici; et ils s'assirent. ³ Puis il dit à celui qui avait le droit de retrait lignager : Nahomi qui est retournée du pays de Moab, a vendu la portion du champ qui appartenait à notre frère Eli-mélec. ⁴ Et j'ai pensé qu'il fallait te le faire savoir, et te dire : Acquiers-la en la présence de ceux qui sont ici assis, et en la présence des Anciens de mon peuple; si tu la veux racheter par droit de retrait lignager, rachète-la; mais si tu ne la veux pas racheter, déclare-le-moi, afin que je le sache : car il n'y en a point d'autre que toi qui la puisse racheter par droit de retrait lignager, et je suis après toi. Il répondit : Je la rachèterai par droit de retrait lignager. ⁵ Et Booz dit : Au jour que tu acquerras le champ de la main de Nahomi, tu l'acquerras aussi de Ruth la Moabite, femme au défunt, pour susciter le nom du défunt dans son héritage. ⁶ Et celui qui avait le droit de retrait lignager dit : Je ne saurais le racheter, de peur que je ne dissipe mon héritage; toi, prends pour toi le droit de retrait lignager que j'y ai; car je ne saurais le racheter. ⁷ Or c'était une ancienne coutume en Israël, qu'au cas de droit de retrait lignager et de subrogation, pour confirmer la chose l'homme déchaussait son soulier, et le donnait à son prochain, et c'était là un témoignage en Israël qu'on cédait son droit.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boaz monta à la porte, et s'y arrêta. Or voici, celui qui avait droit de rachat, et dont Boaz avait parlé, vint à passer. Boaz lui dit: Approche, reste ici, toi un tel. Et il s'approcha, et s'arrêta. ² Boaz prit alors dix hommes parmi les anciens de la ville, et il dit: Asseyez-vous ici. Et ils s'assirent. ³ Puis il dit à celui qui avait le droit de rachat: Naomi, revenue du pays de Moab, a vendu la pièce de terre qui appartenait à notre frère Elimélec. ⁴ J'ai cru devoir t'en informer, et te dire: Acquiers-la, en présence des habitants et en présence des anciens de mon peuple. Si tu veux racheter, rachète; mais si tu ne veux pas, déclare-le-moi, afin que je le sache. Car il n'y a personne avant toi qui ait le droit de rachat, et je l'ai après toi. Et il répondit: je rachèterai. ⁵ Boaz dit: Le jour où tu acquerras le champ de la main de Naomi, tu l'acquerras en même temps de Ruth la Moabite, femme du défunt, pour relever le nom du défunt dans son héritage. ⁶ Et celui qui avait le droit de rachat répondit: Je ne puis pas racheter pour mon compte, crainte de détruire mon héritage; prends pour toi mon droit de rachat, car je ne puis pas racheter. ⁷ Autrefois en Israël, pour valider une affaire quelconque relative à un rachat ou à un échange, l'un ôtait son soulier et le donnait à l'autre: cela servait de témoignage en Israël.

Car il n’y a personne avant H1350 toi qui ait le droit de rachat H8800 H310 , et je l’ai après H559 toi. Et il répondit H8799 H1350 : je rachèterai H8799 .

5 H1162 Boaz H559 dit H8799 H3117 : Le jour H7069 où tu acquerras H8800 H7704 le champ H3027 de la main H5281 de Naomi H7069 , tu l’acquerras H8804 H7327 en même temps de Ruth H4125 la Moabite H802 , femme H4191 du défunt H8801 H6965 , pour relever H8687 H8034 le nom H4191 du défunt H8801 H5159 dans son héritage.

Si hubieres de redimir, redime; y si no quisieres redimir, decláramelo para que yo lo sepa; porque no hay otro que redima sino tú, y yo después de ti. Y él otro respondió: Yo redimiré. ⁵ Entonces replicó Booz: El mismo día que tomares las tierras de mano de Noemí, tomarás también a Rut la moabita, mujer del difunto, para que levantes el nombre del muerto sobre su posesión. ⁶ Y respondió el redentor: No puedo redimir a mi provecho; porque por ventura echaría a perder mi heredad; redime tú, yo te traspaso mi derecho, porque yo no podré redimir. ⁷ Había ya de largo tiempo esta costumbre en Israel en la redención o contrato, que para la confirmación de cualquier negocio, el uno se quitaba el zapato y lo daba a su compañero; y éste era el testimonio en Israel.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boazi shkoi te porta e qytetit dhe u ul aty. Dhe ja, po kalonte ai që kishte të drejtën e shpengimit dhe për të cilin Boazi kishte folur. Boazi i tha: "O ti biri i filanit, afrohu dhe ulu këtu". Ai u afrua dhe u ul. ² Boazi mori atëherë dhjetë burra nga pleqtë e qytetit dhe u tha atyre: "Uluni këtu". Ata u ulën. ³ Pastaj Boazi i tha atij që kishte të drejtën e shpengimit: "Naomi, që u kthye nga vendi i Moabit, ka shitur pjesën e tokës që i përkiste vëllait tonë Elimelek. ⁴ Mendova të të informoj dhe të të them: "Blije në prani të banorëve të vendit dhe të pleqve të popullit tim. Në rast se do ta shpengosh, shpengoje; por në rast se nuk ke ndër mend ta shpengosh, ma thuaj që ta di edhe unë; sepse asnjeri veç teje nuk gëzon të drejtën e shpengimit, dhe pas teje vij unë"". Ai u përgjegj: "Do të kërkoj të drejtën time". ⁵ Atëherë Boazi tha: "Ditën që do ta blesh arën nga dora e Naomit, ti do ta blesh edhe nga Ruthi, Moabitja, bashkëshortja e të ndjerit, për ta ringjallur emrin e të ndjerit në trashëgiminë e tij". ⁶ Ai që gëzonte të drejtën e shpengimit u përgjegj: "Unë nuk mund ta shpengoj për vete, sepse do të shkatërroj trashëgiminë time; shpengo ti atë që duhet të shpengoja unë, sepse unë nuk mund ta shpengoj". ⁷ Ky ishte zakoni në kohërat e kaluara në Izrael lidhur me të drejtën e shpengimit dhe të ndryshimit të pronësisë: personi hiqte sandalen dhe ja jepte tjetrit; kjo ishte mënyra e dëshmisë në Izrael.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Вооз вышел к воротам и сидел там. И вот, идет мимо родственник, о котором говорил Вооз. И сказал ему Вооз : зайди сюда и сядь здесь. Тот зашел и сел. ² Вооз взял десять человек из старейшин города и сказал: сядьте здесь. И они сели. ³ И сказал Вооз родственнику: Ноеминь, возвратившаяся с полейМоавитских, продает часть поля, принадлежащую брату нашему Елимелеху; ⁴ я решился довести до ушей твоих и сказать: купи присидящих здесь и при старейшинах народа моего; если хочешь выкупить, выкупай; а если нехочешь выкупить, скажи мне, и я буду знать; ибо кроме тебя некому выкупить; а по тебе я. Тот сказал: я выкупаю. ⁵ Вооз сказал: когда ты купишь поле у Ноемини, то должен купить и у Руфи Моавитянки, жены умершего, и должен взять ее в замужество, чтобы восстановить имя умершего в уделе его. ⁶ И сказал тот родственник: не могу я взять ее себе, чтобы не расстроить своего удела; прими ее ты, ибо я не могу принять. ⁷ Прежде такой был обычай у Израиля при выкупе и при мене для подтверждения какого-либо дела: один снимал сапог свой и давал другому, и это было свидетельством у Израиля.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ فصعد بوعز الى الباب وجلس هناك واذا بالولي الذي تكلم عنه بوعز عابر. فقال مل واجلس هنا انت يا فلان الفلاني فمال وجلس. ² ثم اخذ عشرة رجال من شيوخ المدينة وقال لهم اجلسوا هنا فجلسوا. ³ ثم قال للولي ان نعمي التي رجعت من بلاد موآب تبيع قطعة الحقل التي لاخينا اليمالك. ⁴ فقلت اني اخبرك قائلا اشتر قدام الجالسين وقدام شيوخ شعبي. فان كنت تفكّ ففكّ. وان كنت لا تفكّ فاخبرني لاعلم لانه ليس غيرك يفك وانا بعدك. فقال اني افكّ. ⁵ فقال بوعز يوم تشتري الحقل من يد نعمي تشتري ايضا من يد راعوث الموآبية امرأة الميت لتقيم اسم الميت على ميراثه. ⁶ فقال الولي لا اقدر ان افك لنفسي لئلا افسد ميراثي. ففكّ انت لنفسك فكاكي لاني لا اقدر ان افكّ. ⁷ وهذه هي العادة سابقا في اسرائيل في امر الفكاك والمبادلة لاجل اثبات كل امر يخلع الرجل نعله ويعطيه لصاحبه. فهذه هي العادة في اسرائيل.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ А Вооз се изкачи при портата и седна там; и ето, мина сродникът, за когото Вооз беше говорил. И той каза: Ти и ти, отбий се, седни тук. И той се отби и седна. ² И той взе десет мъже от градските старейшини и каза: Седнете тук. И те седнаха. ³ И каза на сродника: Ноемин, която се върна от моавските полета, продава нивата, която принадлежеше на брат ни Елимелех. ⁴ Затова аз си помислих да ти съобщя и да ти кажа: Купи я пред жителите и пред старейшините на народа ми. Ако ще откупиш, откупи, но ако няма да откупиш, кажи ми, за да зная; защото няма друг освен теб, който да откупи, и аз съм след теб. И той каза: Ще откупя. ⁵ Тогава Вооз каза: В деня, когато купиш нивата от ръката на Ноемин, трябва да я купиш и от моавката Рут, жената на умрелия, за да издигнеш името на умрелия над наследството му. ⁶ А сродникът каза: Не мога да я откупя за себе си, да не би да съсипя собственото си наследство. Ти откупи за себе си това, което е мое да откупя, защото аз не мога да го откупя. ⁷ А в предишните времена това беше обичаят в Израил при откупуване и при размяна, за да се потвърди всяко нещо: човекът събуваше обувката си и я даваше на другия; и това беше свидетелството в Израил.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boaz potom iziđe na gradska vrata i sjede ondje. I gle, naiđe onaj skrbnik o kome je govorio. I dozva ga Boaz: "Ej, hodi ovamo i sjedni!" Onaj dođe i sjede. ² Onda Boaz uze deset ljudi između starješina gradskih i reče: "Posjedajte ovdje!" I posjedaše. ³ Zatim reče skrbniku: "Noemi, koja se vratila s Moapskih polja, htjela bi prodati ono zemlje našega brata Elimeleka. ⁴ Zato sam odlučio da se s tobom razgovorim i predložim ti: otkupi njivu pred ovima koji sjede ovdje i pred starješinama moga naroda. Ako je kaniš otkupiti, onda otkupi; ako ne kaniš, kaži mi da znam. Jer prije tebe nema nitko pravo na otkup; ja sam na redu tek iza tebe." A onaj reče: "Hoću, otkupit ću je." ⁵ Onda kaza Boaz: "Kad uzmeš zemlju iz ruke Noemi, treba da uzmeš i Rutu Moapku, pokojnikovu ženu, da se pokojniku sačuva ime na baštini." ⁶ Ali skrbnik reče: "E, onda ne mogu biti otkupnik, da ne raspem svoje baštine. Otkupi ti po svome skrbničkom pravu jer ja ne mogu." ⁷ A bijaše od starine običaj u Izraelu: da se čemu potkrijepi valjanost otkupa ili zamjene, čovjek bi izuo sandalu i dao je drugome. To bijaše svjedočanstvo u Izraelu.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tedy Bóz všed do brány, posadil se tam. A aj, příbuzný ten, o němž on byl mluvil, šel tudy. I řekl jemu: Poď sem, a poseď tuto. Kterýž zastaviv se, sedl. ² A vzav Bóz deset mužů z starších města toho, řekl: Posaďte se tuto. I posadili se. ³ Tedy řekl příbuznému tomu: Díl pole, kteréž bylo bratra našeho Elimelecha, prodala Noémi, kteráž se navrátila z krajiny Moábské. ⁴ A já jsem umínil netajiti toho před tebou, a pravímť: Ujmi pole to před přísedícími těmito a staršími lidu mého. Jestliže chceš koupiti, kup; pakli nekoupíš, oznam mi. Nebo vím, že kromě tebe není žádného, kterýž by měl právo koupiti je, a já jsem po tobě. Tedy on řekl: Já koupím. ⁵ I řekl Bóz: Když ujmeš pole to od Noémi, tedy i Rut Moábskou, manželku mrtvého, sobě pojmeš, abys vzbudil jméno mrtvého v dědictví jeho. ⁶ Odpověděl příbuzný ten: Nemohuť koupiti, abych snad nezahladil dědictví svého. Uživ ty práva příbuznosti mé, nebo já ho nemohu užiti. ⁷ (Byl pak ten obyčej od starodávna v Izraeli při koupi a směnách, ku potvrzení všelijakého jednání, že szul jeden obuv svou, a dal ji druhému. A to bylo na svědectví té věci v Izraeli.)

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Og Boas gik op til Porten og sad der, og se, Løseren gik forbi, som Boas havde talt om, og sagde til denne: Træd nærrnere, sæt dig her, min Ven; og han traadte nærmere og satte sig. ² Og han tog ti Mænd af de Ældste i Staden og sagde: Sætter eder her, og de satte sig. ³ Da sagde han til Løseren: Den Del af Marken, som hørte vor Broder Elimelek til, den har Noomi, som er kommen tilbage af Moabiternes Land, solgt. ⁴ Og jeg sagde: Jeg vil aabenbare det for dine Øren, og sige: Køb det i Overværelse af Indbyggerne og de Ældste af mit Folk: Dersom du vil løse det, løs det, men dersom du ikke vil løse det, giv mig det til Kende, at jeg; kan vide det; thi der er ingen uden du til at løse det og jeg efter dig; og han sagde: Jeg vil løse det. ⁵ Og Boas sagde: Paa hvilken Dag du køber det Land af Noomis Haand, da køber du det og af den moabitiske Ruth, den dødes Hustru, for at oprejse den døde et Navn paa hans Arv. ⁶ Da sagde Løseren: Jeg kan ikke løse det for mig, at jeg ikke skal fordærve min egen Arv; løs du det for dig, det jeg skulde løse; thi jeg kan ikke løse det. ⁷ Og dette var fordum Sædvane i Israel ved Løsning og ved Skiften til at stadfæste al Handel, at een drog; sin Sko af og gav sin Næste; og det var Vidnesbyrdet i Israel.

Kaj ili sidigxis. ³ Kaj li diris al la parenco:Tiun parcelon de la kampo, kiu apartenis al nia frato Elimelehx, vendas Naomi, kiu revenis el la lando de Moab; ⁴ kaj mi decidis sciigi vin, dirante:Acxetu en la cxeesto de la logxantoj kaj en la cxeesto de la plejagxuloj de mia popolo. Se vi volas elacxeti, acxetu nun; sed se vi ne volas elacxeti, diru al mi, por ke mi sciu; cxar ne ekzistas iu alia por acxeti, krom vi, kaj mi estas via postproksimulo. Tiu diris:Mi volas elacxeti. ⁵ Tiam Boaz diris:Samtempe, kiam vi acxetos la kampon el la mano de Naomi kaj de Rut, la Moabidino, edzino de la mortinto, vi ankaux prenos sur vin la devon restarigi la nomon de la mortinto al lia heredajxo. ⁶ Kaj la parenco diris:Mi ne povas elacxeti al mi, por ke mi ne pereigu mian propran heredajxon; elacxetu al vi mian acxetotajxon, cxar vere mi ne povas elacxeti. ⁷ Sed de la antikva tempo ekzistis kutimo en Izrael, pri elacxetado kaj sxangxado, por firmigi cxion:oni detiras sian sxuon kaj donas gxin al sia proksimulo; kaj tio estas la atesto en Izrael.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ja Boas meni porttiin ja istui siellä; ja katso, perillinen kävi ohise, ja Boas puhutteli häntä, sanoen: palaja tänne ja istu viereeni, ole kukas olet. Niin hän palasi ja istui. ² Ja hän otti kymmenen miestä kaupungin vanhimmista, sanoen heille: istukaat tähän; ja he istuivat. ³ Niin sanoi hän perilliselle: sitä maan kappaletta, joka oli meidän veljellämme EliMelekillä, kaupitsee Noomi, joka on tullut Moabilaisten maalta. ⁴ Sentähden ajattelin minä sen sinulle ilmoittaa ja sanoa: jos tahdot sen todella periä, niin lunasta se tässä kaupungin asuvaisten ja kansani vanhimpain edessä; vaan jollet sinä sitä tahdo periä, niin sano minulle, että minä sen tietäisin; sillä ei ole yhtään muuta perillistä kuin sinä ja minä sinun jälkees. Hän sanoi: minä perin. ⁵ Niin vastasi Boas: jona päivänä sinä Noomin kädestä lunastat pellon, niin ota Ruut Moabilainen, vainajan emäntä, herättääkses kuolleelle nimeä hänen perinnössänsä. ⁶ Niin sanoi perillinen: en minä taida periä sitä, etten minä hukuttaisi omaa perimistäni: peri sinä se mitä minun tulisi periä; sillä en minä taida sitä periä. ⁷ Ja muinen oli Israelissa lunastamisessa ja perimisessä vahvistukseksi kaikkiin asioihin, että mies riisui kenkänsä ja antoi lähimmäisellensä: ja se oli todistus Israelissa.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mutta Booas meni kaupungin porttiin ja istuutui sinne. Ja katso, sukulunastaja, josta Booas oli puhunut, kulki siitä ohitse; ja Booas sanoi: "Sinä siellä, poikkea tänne istumaan". Hän poikkesi ja istui siihen. ² Senjälkeen Booas otti kaupungin vanhimpia kymmenen miestä ja sanoi: "Istukaa tähän". Ja he istuivat. ³ Sitten Booas sanoi sukulunastajalle: "Sen peltopalstan, joka oli veljellämme Elimelekillä, on Noomi, joka on palannut Mooabin maasta, myynyt. ⁴ Sentähden ajattelin: minä ilmoitan siitä sinulle ja sanon: osta se tässä saapuvilla olevien ja minun kansani vanhimpien läsnäollessa. Jos tahdot sen lunastaa sukuun, niin lunasta. Mutta ellet tahdo sitä lunastaa, niin ilmoita minulle, että saan sen tietää; sillä ei ole ketään muuta sukulunastajaa kuin sinä, ja sinun jälkeesi minä." Hän sanoi: "Minä lunastan sen". ⁵ Niin Booas sanoi: "Ostaessasi pellon Noomilta ostat sen myöskin mooabilaiselta Ruutilta, vainajan leskeltä, ja sinun on pysytettävä vainajan nimi hänen perintöosassaan". ⁶ Silloin sanoi sukulunastaja: "En voi lunastaa sitä itselleni, sillä siten minä turmelisin oman perintöosani. Lunasta sinä itsellesi, mitä minun olisi lunastettava; minä en voi sitä tehdä." ⁷ Muinoin oli Israelissa lunastus-ja vaihtokauppoja vahvistettaessa tapa tällainen: riisuttiin kenkä ja annettiin toiselle; tätä käytettiin Israelissa todistuksena.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Bòz ale nan pòtay lavil la, kote moun yo konn reyini an, epi li chita. Lè sa a, yon moun vin ap pase. Se te nèg ki te fanmi Elimelèk pi pre pase l' la, nonm Bòz t'ap pale Rit la. Bòz rele l', li di l': -Entèl, vini m' pale ou, monchè! Chita non! Nonm lan al jwenn li, li chita. ² Bòz fè rele dis nan chèf fanmi lavil la, li fè yo chita la tou. Lè yo fin chita, ³ li di nonm ki te fanmi pre Elimelèk la: -Naomi tounen soti nan peyi Moab. Koulye a, li ta vle vann jaden ki te pou Elimelèk, fanmi nou an. ⁴ Mwen kwè se devwa m' pou m' fè ou konnen sa. Si ou vle achte tè a, ou mèt di l' devan dis mesye chèf yo ki chita la a, paske se ou menm an premye lalwa rekonèt dwa sa a. Konsa tou, si ou pa vle, ou mèt di l', paske apre ou, se mwen menm ki gen dwa sa a. Nonm lan di l': -M'ap achte l'. ⁵ Lè sa a Bòz di l': -Bon. Mwen byen kontan. Men, si ou achte jaden an nan men Naomi ak Rit, ti fanm peyi Moab la, vèv pitit Elimelèk la, se pou Rit vin madanm ou tou pou non fanmi defen an pa pèdi, epi pou tè a ka rete nan fanmi defen an tou. ⁶ Lè sa a, nonm lan reponn: -Si se konsa, mwen p'ap ka achte tè a. Paske, si m' achte l', pitit mwen riske pèdi nan sa m'ap kite pou yo a. Ou mèt achte l' ou menm. Mwen p'ap fè zafè a ankò. ⁷ Nan tan sa a, nan peyi Izrayèl, lè yon moun pase dwa li genyen pou achte osinon pou twoke yon tè bay yon lòt moun, men sa yo te konn fè: Moun ki te gen dwa a wete yon grenn sapat nan pye l', li bay lòt moun lan li. Se konsa moun Izrayèl yo te konn fè tout moun konnen zafè a te regle nèt.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boáz pedig felment a kapuba, és ott leült. És ímé arra ment az a legközelebbi rokon, a kirõl Boáz beszélt vala, és monda néki: Jer csak, ülj ide atyafi. És az oda ment és leüle. ² Ekkor õ maga mellé vett tíz férfiút a város vénei közül és monda: Üljetek ide! És azok leülének. ³ És õ monda a legközelebbi rokonnak: Azt a darab szántóföldet, mely a mi atyánkfiáé, Eliméleké volt, eladja Naómi, a ki haza jött a Moáb mezejérõl. ⁴ Én pedig gondoltam, hogy füledbe juttatom, mondván: Vedd meg az itt ülõk elõtt és az én népemnek vénei elõtt. Ha megváltod: váltsd meg; és ha nem váltod meg: jelentsd ki elõttem, hogy tudjam; mert rajtad kívül nincs, a ki megváltaná, és én vagyok utánad. És az monda: Én megváltom. ⁵ És monda Boáz: A mely napon megveszed a szántóföldet Naómi kezébõl, akkor a Moábita Ruthtól, a megholtnak feleségétõl veszed meg, hogy nevet támaszsz a megholtnak, az õ örökségében. ⁶ A legközelebbi rokon pedig monda: Nem válthatom meg magamnak, hogy el ne veszessem a magam örökségét; váltsd meg te magadnak az én rokoni részemet, mert én nem válthatom meg. ⁷ Ez vala pedig [a szokás] régen Izráelben, a megváltás és cserélés alkalmával, minden dolognak megerõsítésére: A férfi lehúzta az õ saruját és oda adta felebarátjának, és ez volt a bizonyság Izráelben.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boas pergi ke tempat pertemuan di pintu gerbang kota. Setelah ia duduk di sana lewatlah orang laki-laki yang menurut Boas adalah keluarga Elimelekh yang terdekat. Lalu Boas memanggil dia, "Saudaraku, marilah duduk di sini!" Orang itu datang, lalu duduk. ² Kemudian Boas mengajak sepuluh pemuka masyarakat kota itu untuk duduk juga bersama-sama di situ. Setelah mereka duduk, ³ berkatalah Boas kepada orang yang sesanak keluarga dengannya itu, "Naomi telah kembali dari Moab. Sekarang ia mau menjual tanah kepunyaan mendiang Elimelekh, keluarga kita. ⁴ Dan saya kira kau harus tahu tentang hal itu. Kalau kau mau membelinya, katakanlah di depan orang-orang yang duduk di sini. Kalau tidak, katakanlah dengan terus terang, sebab hanya kita berdua yang punya hak atas hal itu; kau yang pertama, kemudian baru saya." Jawab orang itu, "Ya, saya akan membelinya." ⁵ Lalu kata Boas, "Baiklah kalau begitu. Tetapi, kalau kau membeli tanah itu dari Naomi, maka kau harus juga mengambil Rut, wanita Moab, janda mendiang anak Naomi. Sebab, tanah itu harus tetap menjadi milik keturunan orang yang sudah meninggal itu." ⁶ Jawab orang itu, "Kalau demikian, maka saya tak sanggup. Sekarang baiklah saya lepaskan hak saya sebagai orang pertama yang wajib membeli tanah itu. Tak ada gunanya saya membelinya sebab tanah itu tentu tidak akan dapat menjadi milik keturunan saya. Lebih baik kau saja yang membelinya." ⁷ Pada masa itu kalau orang menjual atau menukar sesuatu miliknya, maka untuk mensahkan hal itu biasanya si penjual melepaskan sandalnya, lalu menyerahkannya kepada si pembeli. Demikianlah caranya orang-orang di Israel mensahkan sesuatu perkara jual beli tanah.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ BOOZ adunque salì alla porta, e vi si pose a sedere. Ed ecco, colui che avea la ragione della consanguinità, del quale Booz avea parlato, passò. E Booz gli disse: O tu, tale, vieni qua, e poniti qui a sedere. Ed egli andò, e si pose a sedere. ² E Booz prese dieci uomini degli Anziani della città, e disse loro: Sedete qui; ed essi si misero a sedere. ³ Poi Booz disse a colui che avea la ragion della consanguinità: Naomi, ch’è ritornata dalle contrade di Moab, ha venduta la possessione del campo, ch’era di Elimelec, nostro fratello; ⁴ laonde io ho detto di fartene motto, e di dirti che tu l’acquisti in presenza di costoro che seggono qui, e in presenza degli Anziani del mio popolo; se tu la vuoi riscuotere, per ragione di consanguinità, fallo; ma, se tu non la vuoi riscuotere, dichiaramelo, acciocchè io il sappia; perciocchè non v’è alcun altro per riscuoterla, se non tu, ed io dopo te. Allora colui disse: Io la riscuoterò. ⁵ E Booz gli disse: Nel giorno che tu acquisterai il campo della mano di Naomi, tu l’acquisterai ancora da Rut Moabita, moglie del morto, per suscitare il nome del morto sopra la sua eredità. ⁶ Ma, colui che avea la ragione della consanguinità, disse: Io non posso usare la ragione della consanguinità per me; che talora io non dissipi la mia eredità; usa tu la mia ragione della consanguinità, per riscuoterla; perciocchè io non posso farlo. ⁷ Or ab antico v’era questa usanza, che, in caso di riscatto per ragione di consanguinità, e di trasportamento di ragione, per fermar tutto l’affare, l’uomo si traeva la scarpa, e la dava al suo prossimo; e ciò serviva di testimonianza in Israele.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Or Boaz salì alla porta della città e quivi si pose a sedere. Ed ecco passare colui che aveva il diritto di riscatto e del quale Boaz avea parlato. E Boaz gli disse: "O tu, tal de’ tali, vieni un po’ qua, e mettiti qui a sedere!" Quello s’avvicinò e si mise a sedere. ² Boaz allora prese dieci uomini fra gli anziani della città, e disse loro: "Sedete qui". E quelli si misero a sedere. ³ Poi Boaz disse a colui che avea il diritto di riscatto: "Naomi, ch’è tornata dalle campagne di Moab, mette in vendita la parte di terra che apparteneva ad Elimelec nostro fratello. ⁴ Ho creduto bene d’informartene, e di dirti: Fanne acquisto in presenza degli abitanti del luogo e degli anziani del mio popolo. Se vuoi far valere il tuo diritto di riscatto, fallo; ma se non lo vuoi far valere, dimmelo, ond’io lo sappia; perché non c’è nessuno, fuori di te, che abbia il diritto di riscatto; e, dopo di te, vengo io". Quegli rispose: "Farò valere il mio diritto". ⁵ Allora Boaz disse: "Il giorno che acquisterai il campo dalla mano di Naomi, tu lo acquisterai anche da Ruth la Moabita, moglie del defunto, per far rivivere il nome del defunto nella sua eredità". ⁶ Colui che aveva il diritto di riscatto rispose: "Io non posso far valere il mio diritto, perché rovinerei la mia propria eredità; subentra tu nel mio diritto di riscatto, giacché io non posso valermene". ⁷ Or v’era in Israele quest’antica usanza, per render valido un contratto di riscatto o di cessione di proprietà; uno si cavava la scarpa e la dava all’altro; era il modo di attestazione in Israele.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boozas, nuėjęs prie vartų, atsisėdo. Pro šalį ėjo giminaitis, apie kurį Boozas buvo kalbėjęs. Jis tarė jam: “Bičiuli, sėskis čia!” Tas atėjęs atsisėdo. ² Boozas pasišaukė dar dešimt vyrų, miesto vyresniųjų, ir tarė jiems: “Sėskitės!” Jie atsisėdo. ³ Ir jis kalbėjo giminaičiui: “Noomė, kuri grįžo iš Moabo krašto, parduoda lauką, priklausiusį mūsų broliui Elimelechui. ⁴ Aš norėjau pranešti tai tau. Pirk tą lauką čia sėdinčiųjų ir vyresniųjų akivaizdoje. Jei nori išpirkti, pirk, o jei nenori, pasakyk man, kad žinočiau. Nėra kito, kuris turi teisę tai išpirkti, o po tavęsmano eilė”. Tas atsakė: “Aš pirksiu”. ⁵ Boozas tarė: “Tą dieną, kai pirksi lauką iš Noomės, turėsi nupirkti ir moabitę Rūtą, mirusiojo žmoną, kad išlaikytum mirusiojo vardą jo nuosavybei”. ⁶ Giminaitis atsakė: “Aš negaliu išpirkti jos, nes tada nukentėtų mano paties paveldėjimas. Tu pasinaudok mano teise, nes aš negaliu to padaryti”. ⁷ Izraelyje buvo paprotys: kai kas nors perleisdavo savo teisę į paveldėjimą kitam, jis nusiaudavo savo sandalą ir paduodavo savo artimui. Tai būdavo liudijimas Izraelyje.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Potem Booz szedł do bramy, i usiadł tam; a oto, pokrewny on szedł mimo, o którym powiedział był Booz; i rzekł mu: Pójdź sam a siądź tu, ty a ty; a on przyszedłszy siadł. ² Wziąwszy tedy dziesięć mężów starszych miasta onego, mówił do nich: Siądźcież też tu; i usiedli. ³ Zatem rzekł onemu powinowatemu: Dział roli, który był brata naszego Elimelecha, sprzedała Noemi, która się wróciła z ziemi Moabskiej. ⁴ I zdało mi się to odnieść do uszu twoich, mówiąc: Otrzymaj tę rolę przed tymi, którzy tu siedzą, i przed starszymi ludu mego; a chceszli ją odkupić, odkup; a jeźliż nie odkupisz, powiedz mi; bo wiem, że nad cię niemasz bliższego do wykupienia, a jam po tobie. Tedy on rzekł: Ja odkupię. ⁵ Nadto rzekł Booz: Dnia, którego otrzymasz rolę z rąk Noemi, tedy też i Rutę Moabitkę, żonę zmarłego, pojmiesz, abyś wzbudził imię zmarłego w dziedzictwie jego. ⁶ Odpowiedział powinowaty: Nie mogę odkupić, bym snać nie stracił dziedzictwa mego. Odkupże ty sobie bliskość moję, gdyż ja nie mogę odkupić jej. ⁷ (A był to starodawny zwyczaj w Izraelu przy wykupie, i przy zamianie, aby warowniejsza była każda sprawa, tedy zzuwał jeden z nich trzewik swój, i dawał go bliźniemu swojemu; a toć było na świadectwo ustępowania dóbr w Izraelu.)

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Booz subiu à porta da cidade, e assentou-se ali. Quando o remidor de que ele havia falado ia passando, disse-lhe Booz: Meu amigo, vem cá, assenta-te aqui. Ele se virou, e se assentou. ² Então Booz tomou dez homens dentre os anciãos da cidade, e lhes disse: Sentai-vos aqui. E eles se sentaram. ³ Disse Booz ao remidor: Noemi, que voltou da terra dos moabitas, vendeu a parte da terra que pertencia a Elimélec; nosso irmão. ⁴ Resolvi informar-te disto, e dizer-te: Compra-a na presença dos que estão sentados aqui, na presença dos anciãos do meu povo; se hás de redimi-la, redime-a, e se não, declara-mo, para que o saiba, pois outro não há, senão tu, que a redima, e eu depois de ti. Então disse ele: Eu a redimirei. ⁵ Disse, porém, Booz: No dia em que comprares o campo da mão de Noemi, também tomarás a Rute, a moabita, que foi mulher do falecido, para suscitar o nome dele na sua herança. ⁶ Então disse o remidor: Não poderei redimi-lo para mim, para que não prejudique a minha própria herança; toma para ti o meu direito de remissão, porque eu não o posso fazer. ⁷ Outrora em Israel, para confirmar qualquer negócio relativo à remissão e à permuta, o homem descalçava o sapato e o dava ao seu próximo; e isto era por testemunho em Israel.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Men Boas var gått op til byporten og hadde satt sig der. Da kom løseren som Boas hadde talt om, nettop forbi, og Boas sa: Kom hit og sett dig her, min venn! Og han kom og satte sig. ² Så kalte han til sig ti menn av byens eldste og sa: Sett eder her! Og de satte sig. ³ Derefter sa han til løseren: Den aker som tilhørte vår bror Elimelek, har No'omi solgt, hun som er kommet tilbake fra Moabs land. ⁴ Og jeg tenkte jeg vilde la dette komme til din kunnskap og si: Kjøp den i overvær av dem som sitter her, og av mitt folks eldste! Vil du innløse den, sa gjør det; men hvis ikke, så si mig det, sa jeg kan vite det! For det er ingen til å innløse den uten du og efter dig jeg selv. Han svarte: Jeg vil innløse den. ⁵ Da sa Boas: Når du kjøper akeren av No'omi, kjøper du den også av moabittinnen Rut, den avdødes hustru, for å opreise den avdødes navn på hans arvelodd. ⁶ Løseren svarte: Jeg kan ikke innløse den for mig, for da vilde jeg ødelegge min egen arvelodd; innløs du for dig det jeg skulde løse, for jeg kan ikke innløse det. ⁷ I gamle dager var det skikk i Israel ved innløsning og bytte at den ene part til stadfestelse av saken drog sin sko av og gav den til den andre; dette gjaldt som bekreftelse i Israel.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Boaz s'a suit la poarta cetăţii, şi s'a oprit acolo. Şi iată că cel ce avea drept de răscumpărare, şi despre care vorbise Boaz, trecea. Boaz i -a zis:,,Hei, cutare, apropie-te, stai aici.`` Şi el s'a apropiat, şi s'a oprit. ² Boaz a luat atunci zece oameni dintre bătrînii cetăţii, şi a zis:,,Şedeţi aici.`` Şi ei au şezut jos. ³ Apoi a zis celui ce avea drept de răscumpărare:,,Naomi, întorcîndu-se din ţara Moabului, a vîndut bucata de pămînt care era a fratelui nostru Elimelec. ⁴ Am crezut de datoria mea să te înştiinţez despre aceasta, şi să-ţi spun:,Cumpără -o, în faţa locuitorilor şi în faţa bătrînilor poporului meu. Dacă vrei s'o răscumperi, răscumpără -o; dar dacă nu vrei, spune-mi, ca să ştiu. Căci nu este nimeni înaintea ta care să aibă dreptul de răscumpărare, şi după tine eu am dreptul acesta.`` Şi el a răspuns:,,O voi răscumpăra.`` ⁵ Boaz a zis:,,În ziua în care vei cumpăra ţarina din mîna Naomei, o vei cumpăra în acelaş timp şi dela Rut, Moabita, nevasta celui mort, ca să ridici numele mortului în moştenirea lui.`` ⁶ Şi cel ce avea drept de răscumpărare a răspuns:,,Nu pot s'o răscumpăr pe socoteala mea, de frică să nu-mi stric moştenirea mea; ia tu dreptul de răscumpărare, căci eu nu pot s'o răscumpăr.`` ⁷ Odinioară în Israel, pentru întărirea unei răscumpărări sau unui schimb, omul îşi scotea încălţămintea şi o dădea celuilalt: aceasta slujea ca mărturie în Israel.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ А Боаз прийшов до брами, та й сів там. Аж ось проходить родич, про якого говорив був Боаз. І він сказав йому: Зайди сюди, послухай, і сядь отут! І той зайшов і сів. ² А Боаз узяв десять мужа зо старших того міста та й сказав: Сідайте тут! І вони посідали. ³ І сказав він до родича: Ділянку поля, що нашого брата Елімелеха, продала Ноомі, яка вернулася з моавського поля. ⁴ А я постановив: Подам тобі до ушей твоїх, говорячи: Купи при тих, що сидять тут, та при старших мого народу. Якщо викупиш викупи, а якщо не викупиш скажи мені, і нехай я знаю, бо окрім тебе нема кому викупити, а я за тобою. А той сказав: Я викуплю. ⁵ І сказав Боаз: Того дня, коли набудеш поле з руки Ноомі, то набудеш також моавитянку Рут, жінку померлого, щоб поставити ім'я померлому на наділі його. ⁶ А родич сказав: Не можу я викупити собі, щоб не понищити свого наділу. Викупи собі мого викупа, бо я не можу викупити. ⁷ А оце було колись серед Ізраїля на викуп, і на заміну, і на ствердження кожної справи: чоловік здіймав сандалю свою, і давав своєму ближньому, і це було свідоцтвом серед Ізраїля.
