Ruth 4
1 બોઆઝ શહેરના દરવાજા પાસે લોકો ભેગા થાય છે તે જગ્યાએ ગયો. એના પરિવારનો નજીકનો સગો ત્યાંથી પસાર થાય ત્યાં સુધી ત્યાં બેસી રહ્યો. એણે એને બોલાવીને કહ્યું, “અરે ફલાણા આવ અને અહીં બેસ હું તારી સાથે થોડી વાત કરવા માંગું છું. એટલે તે આવીને બેઠો.”
2 ત્યાર પછી બોઆઝે નગરના દશ વડીલોને તેડાવ્યા અને કહ્યું અહીં બેસો, અને તેઓ બેઠા.
3 તેણે નાઓમીના સગાને બોલાવીને કહ્યું કે, “તમને બધાને ખબર છે કે નાઓમી મોઆબથી પાછી આવી છે અને એને પોતાના પતિ અલીમેલેખની જમીન વેચી દેવી છે.
4 મને લાગ્યું કે માંરે તમને તે વિષે વાત કરવી જોઈએ કે, અહીં આપણા જે વડીલો બેઠા છે તેમની સાક્ષીએ તું એ ખરીદી લે. જો તારે કુટુંબી તરીકેનો હક્ક ભોગવવો હોય તો ખરીદી લે, અને જો તારે હક્ક ન ભોગવવો હોય તો તે કહે, જેથી મને ખબર પડે, કારણ નજીકના કુટુંબી તરીકેનો પહેલો હક્ક તારો છે અને તારા પછી માંરા પોતાનો છે.” તેણે કહ્યું, “હું ખરીદી લેવા તૈયાર છું,”
5 બોઆઝે કહ્યું, “તું જે દિવસે નાઓમી પાસેથી એ જમીન ખરીદી લેશે,મરનાર માંણસની પત્ની રૂથ જે મોઆબથી છે તે તારી પત્ની બનશે. જ્યારે એને પુત્ર થશે એ જમીન એને મળશે, આ રીતે જમીન મરનાર માંણસના પરિવારની જ રહેશે.”
6 ત્યારે પેલા માંણસે કહ્યું કે, “હું એ જમીન ખરીદવા માંગતો નથી, કારણકે એમ કરતા હું માંરી પોતાની જમીન ખોઇ બેસીશ. તેથી તું બોઆઝ જમીન ખરીદી લે.”
7 હવે તે સમયમાં ઇસ્રાએલમાં મિલકતનું વેચાણ અથવા ફેરબદલી કરતી વખતે સોદો પાકો કરવા મૂળ માંલિક પોતાનું પગરખું કાઢીને સામાંને આપે.
8 નાઓમીના સગાએ બોઆઝને કહ્યું કે, “તું જમીન તારે પોતાને માંટે ખરીદી લે.” અને પોતાનું પગરખું બોઆઝને આપ્યું.
9 પછી બોઆઝે વડીલોને તથા ત્યાં હાજર રહેલા બધા લોકોને કહ્યું કે, “આજે તમે સાક્ષી છો કે મેં નાઓમી પાસેથી અલીમેલેખ, કિલ્યોન અને માંહલોન પાસે જે હતું તે સર્વસ્વ ખરીધું છે.
10 તદુપરાંત, તમે એ વાતના પણ આજે સાક્ષી છો કે “હું માંહલોનની વિધવા મોઆબી રૂથનો પતિ બનું છું જેથી મિલકત મરનારને નામે જ રહે. અને તેનું નામ કુટુંબીઓમાંથી અને તેના નગરમાંથી ભૂંસાઈ જાય નહિ.”
11 શહેરની ભાગોળમાં સર્વ લોકો તથા વડીલોએ કહ્યું કે, “અમે સાક્ષી છીએ; યહોવા આ સ્ત્રીને રાહેલ અને લેઆહ જેવી બનાવે, જેણે ઇસ્રાએલનું ઘર બનાવ્યું હતું. તું એફ્રાથાહમાં સુખી થા, અને બેથલેહેમમાં નામાંકિત થા.
12 યહોવા તમને રૂથ દ્વારા પુત્રો આપે જેઓ તમને પ્રખ્યાત અને મહાન બનાવશે, તારું કુટુંબ યહૂદા અને તામાંરના પુત્ર પેરેસનાકુટુંબ જેવું (મહાન) બનો.”
13 તેથી બોઆઝ રૂથને પરણ્યો, ને તે તેેતી પત્નિ થઇ. તે તેની પાસે ગયો, અને યહોવાની કૃપાથી તે સગર્ભા બની અને એક પુત્રનો પ્રસવ થયો.
14 નગરની સ્રીઓ નાઓમીને કહેવા લાગી:“આશીર્વાદિત દેવ પાસેથી આવું સંતાનમેળવનાર તું નસીબદાર છે; તે ઇસ્રાએલમાં પ્રખ્યાત થશે.
15 તે તને આનંદથી ફરી જીવંત બનાવશે, વૃદ્ધાવસ્થામાં તે તારી સંભાળ રાખશે. તે આમ એટલા માંટે કરશે કારણકે તેની માંતા રૂથને તારા ઉપર પ્રેમ છે અને તારી સંભાળ રાખે છે. તારા માંટે એ સાત પુત્રો કરતા પણ વધુ સારી છે.”
16 નાઓમીએ તે બાળકને પોતાની ગોદમાં મૂક્યું અને તેની સંભાળ લીધી.
17 આડોસપાડોસની સ્રીઓએ કહ્યું; “નાઓમીને પુત્ર અવતર્યો છે.” અને મહોલ્લાની સ્ત્રીઓએ તે બાળકનું નામ ઓબેદ પાડયું. તે યશાઈનો પિતા હતો અને યશાઈ દાઉદનો પિતા હતો.
18 બોઆઝની વંશાવળી તેના પૂર્વજ પેરેસથી શરૂ થઈ તે આ પ્રમાંણે છે.પેરેસથી હેસ્રોન થયો.
19 હેસ્રોનથી રામ અને રામથી આમ્મીનાદાબ થયો.
20 આમ્મીનાદાબથી નાહશોન, અને નાહશોનથી સલ્મોન થયો.
21 સલ્મોનથી બોઆઝ અને બોઆઝનો પુત્ર ઓબેદ થયો.
22 ઓબેદનો પુત્ર યશાઇ અને યશાઇનો પુત્ર દાઉદ થયો.
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 neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi.
10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son.
14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Zechariah 2 in Tamil and English
1 তারপর আমি চোখ তুলে চেয়ে দেখলাম মাপার ফিতে হাতে একজন মানুষ|
I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 আমি জিজ্ঞেস করলাম, “আপনি কোথায যাচ্ছেন?”তিনি আমায় বললেন, “আমি জেরুশালেম মেপে দেখতে চাই তা দৈর্ঘ্যে ও প্রস্থে কতখানি|”
Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 তখন য়ে দেবদূতটি আমার সঙ্গে কথা বলেছিলেন তিনি চলে গেলেন এবং আরেকটি দেবদূত তাঁর সঙ্গে কথা বলবার জন্য এগিয়ে এলেন|
And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 তিনি তাকে বললেন, “দৌড়ে গিয়ে সেই যুবকদের বল য়ে জেরুশালেম মাপার পক্ষে অতিশয বড়| তার কাছে গিয়ে এই কথাগুলো বল:‘জেরুশালেম হবে প্রাচীরবিহীন একটি শহর কারণ জেরুশালেমে বসবাসকারী মানুষ ও পশুর সংখ্যা হবে অনেক|’
And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
5 প্রভু বলেছেন, ‘আমি শহরের চারধারে একটি আগুনের প্রাচীর তৈরী করে তাকে রক্ষা করব| এবং সেই শহরের মহিমা আনয়ণ করবার জন্য আমি সেখানে বাস করব|”‘
For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 প্রভু বলেছেন, “তাড়াতাড়ি কর, উত্তরে অবস্থিত দেশটি ত্যাগ কর! হ্যাঁ, এটা সত্যি য়ে আমি তোমার লোকেদের চতুর্দ্দিকে ছড়িয়ে দিয়েছিলাম|”
Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.
7 ওহে সিয়োনের লোকেরা, যারা বাবিলে বাস করছ, তোমাদের প্রাণ বাঁচাতে এ জায়গা ছেড়ে যাও| ঐ শহর ছেড়ে পালাও! সর্বশক্তিমান প্রভুই এই কথা বলেছেন| তিনি আমাকে সেই জাতিগুলির মধ্যে পাঠিয়েছেন যারা তোমাদের লুঠ করেছিল| তিনি আমাকে পাঠিয়েছেন তোমাদের কাছে সম্মান আনতে|
Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8 কারণ তোমাদের আঘাত করা, ঈশ্বরের চোখের মণিকে আঘাত করবার তুল্য|
For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
9 বাবিলের লোকেরা আমার লোকেদের কারারুদ্ধ করেছিল এবং তাদের এীতদাস বানিয়েছিল| কিন্তু আমি তাদের আঘাত করলে তারা আমার লোকেদের দাস হয়ে যাবে| তখন তোমরা জানবে য়ে সর্বশক্তিমান প্রভুই আমায় পাঠিয়েছেন|”
For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
10 প্রভু বলেছেন, “সিয়োন, আনন্দ করো এবং সুখী হও! কারণ আমি আসছি এবং আমি তোমার শহরে বাস করব|
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
11 সেই সময়ে বহু জাতি আমার কাছে আসবে| তারা আমার লোক হবে এবং আমি তোমার শহরে বাস করব|” আর তুমি জানবে য়ে সর্বশক্তিমান প্রভু আমায় তোমার কাছে পাঠিয়েছেন|”
And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12 প্রভু জেরুশালেমকে তাঁর বিশেষ শহর হিসেবে আবার মনোনীত করবেন| যিহূদা হবে পবিত্র ভূমিতে তাঁর অংশ|
And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 প্রত্যেকে নীরব হও! প্রভু তাঁর পবিত্র আবাস হতে আসছেন|
Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
