4:6 Variant note: ל/גאול: (x-qere) ’לִ/גְאָל’: lemma_l/1350 a morph_HR/Vqc id_08Ynf לִ/גְאָל

OET (OET-RV)“I can’t buy it back myself, then,” the closer relative answered. “If I did that, I would ruin my own son’s inheritance. You can have the land and the woman instead of me, because I simply can’t take it.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַשְׁחִ֖ית אֶת־נַחֲלָתִ֑⁠י

ruin DOM inheritance,my_own

Here, I damage my own inheritance means that if the man marries Ruth, the property that he buys would belong to her son, not to his own children. In that way, he would be taking away from the wealth that his own children would inherit from him and giving it instead to the children that Ruth might bear. Alternate translation: “lest I take away from my own children’s inheritance.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

גְּאַל־לְ⁠ךָ֤ אַתָּה֙ אֶת־גְּאֻלָּתִ֔⁠י

redeem to/for=yourself(m) you(ms) DOM right_of_redemption,my

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the ideas of right or redemption, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “I will allow you to redeem the property for yourself”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:6 Then I can’t redeem it: The addition of Ruth to the transaction completely changed the equation for the other kinsman.
• this might endanger my own estate: If he bought the land, married Ruth, and raised an heir for Elimelech, he might invest many resources only to lose control of the new land, and he might not have enough to maintain his own land. If he then failed to have a second son with Ruth as his own heir, his land would be inherited by Elimelech’s heir, and his own name would die out. Even if this kinsman had acquired the land and not Ruth (see study notes on 3:11; 4:5), he still might lose his investment in the land to the heir born to Ruth. By acting to preserve his own name, this man became the no-name who refused to help his close relative.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
