則必執之、攜至邑門長老前、

於是以掃知迦南女不悅於父、故適以實馬利家、更娶馬哈喇為室、馬哈喇乃亞伯拉罕孫以實馬利女、尼排約妹。○雅各離別是巴、向哈蘭而行、

若此者耶和華必不赦宥、其怒甚烈、以致中心如焚、氣如煙燄、必攻此人、以書所載之詛、加乎其身、塗抹其名於天下、

波士赴邑門而坐、見所言之戚屬過焉、呼其名曰、來、請坐於此。即坐。乃簡邑之長老十人、請之偕坐。語戚屬曰、由摩押而歸之拿阿米、欲鬻我同儕以利米力田。我意當告爾、使爾於邑人長老前購之、所當贖者、惟爾一人、爾外惟我、如爾欲贖之則贖、不然明以相告。其人曰、我將贖焉。波士曰爾欲購田、必購於拿阿米、亦必娶死者之遺婦、摩押女路得、育嗣而承業、以繼死者之名。戚屬曰、我不能贖恐我之業反有所害、爾贖可也。昔在以色列族有常例、凡欲贖物易物者、必解其履、以予同儔、則在族中為據。

必絕其嗣、名弗稱於後世兮、

敗惡黨罰異邦兮、永世塗抹其名兮、

更得馬倫妻摩押女路得為妻、育嗣承業。繼死者之名、使其名不絕於同儕故土中、汝眾為證。邑門長老與眾俱曰、我儕為證、昔拉結利亞傳嗣於以色列族、願耶和華使適爾家之婦亦若是、亦願爾於以法大得其財貨、於伯利恆播其聲名。昔大馬從猶大生法勒士、以立其家、願耶和華使此婦生子、成立爾家、亦若是。

爾勿禱我、我盡滅之、塗抹其名於天下、我將使爾裔、較彼昌大眾多。
