Ruth 3
1 One day, Naomi said to Ruth, ‘My daughter, should I not seek to secure a home for you where you will be happy and prosperous?
Рече же ей Ноемминь свекровь ея: дщи (моя), не поищу ли тебе покоя, да благо ти будет?
2 Is not Boaz, with whose girls you have been, a relative of ours?
И ныне Вооз не ужик ли нам, идеже со отроковицами его была еси? Се, той веет на гумне ячмень сея нощи:
3 Tonight he is going to winnow barley on the threshing-floor. So bathe and anoint yourself and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing-floor. But do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
ты же измыйся, и помасти лице твое, и облецыся в ризы твоя (светлыя), и изыди на гумно: не явися мужу, дондеже скончает ясти и пити:
4 Then when he lies down, mark the place where he lies. Go in, uncover his feet, lie down, and then he will tell you what to do.’
и будет внегда уснути ему, и познаеши место, где ляжет, тамо да внидеши, и открыеши у ног его, и ляжеши: и той повесть тебе, яже имаши творити.
5 ‘I will do as you say.’ Ruth said to her.
И рече Руфь к ней: вся елика речеши мне, сотворю.
6 So she went down to the threshing-floor and did just as her mother-in-law told her.
И иде на гумно, и сотвори по всему, елика заповеда ей свекровь ея.
7 When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in a happy mood, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then Ruth came quietly and uncovered his feet and lay down.
И яде Вооз и пи, и возблажа сердце его, и иде спати со страны стога: она же прииде втай, и откры яже у ног его, и ляже.
8 At midnight the man was startled and turned over, and there was a woman lying at his feet!
И бысть в полунощи, ужасеся муж и возмятеся, и се, жена лежит у ног его:
9 ‘Who are you?’ he said. ‘I am Ruth your servant,’ she answered, ‘Spread your cloak over your servant, for you are a near relative.’
и рече (ей Вооз): кто еси ты? Она же рече: аз есмь Руфь раба твоя, да возложиши крило твое на рабу твою, яко ужик ты еси.
10 He said, ‘May you be blest by the Lord, my daughter. You have shown me greater favour now than at first, for you have not followed young men, whether poor or rich.
И рече Вооз: благословена ты Господем Богом, дщи, яко разблажила еси милость твою последнюю паче первыя, еже не ити тебе вслед юнот, аще убог, аще богат:
11 My daughter, have no fear. I will do for you all that you ask, for the whole town knows that you are a virtuous woman.
и ныне, дщи, не бойся: вся елика речеши, сотворю тебе: весть бо все племя людий моих, яко жена силы ты еси:
12 Now it is true that I am a near relative, but there is another man nearer than I.
и ныне поистинне ужик есмь аз: но еще есть ужик ближший мене:
13 Stay here tonight, and then in the morning, if he will perform for you the duty of a kinsman, well, let him do it. But if he will not perform for you the duty of a kinsman, then as surely as the Lord lives, I will do it for you. Lie down until morning.’
прележи сию нощь, и будет заутра аще приимет тя, то благо: да поймет: аще ли не восхощет пояти тебе, то поиму тя аз, жив Господь: прележи до заутрия.
14 So she lay at his feet until morning, but rose before anyone could recognise her, for Boaz said, ‘No one must know that a woman came to the threshing-floor.’
И лежа у ног его до заутрия: она же воста, прежде неже познати мужу подруга своего. И рече Вооз: да не увестся, яко приходила жена на гумно.
15 He also said, ‘Bring the cloak which you have on and hold it.’ So she held it while he poured into it six measures of barley and laid it on her shoulders. Then he went into the city.
И рече ей: принеси покрывало еже на тебе, и держи е. Она же держа е, и намери ей шесть мер ячменя, и заде ей: и иде во град.
16 When Ruth came to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked, ‘Is it you, my daughter?’ Then Ruth told Naomi all that the man had done for her.
И прииде Руфь ко свекрови своей. Она же рече ей: что есть, дщи? И поведа ей вся, елика сотвори ей муж.
17 ‘He gave me these six measures of barley,’ she said, ‘for he said I should not go to my mother-in-law empty-handed.’
И рече ей: шесть мер сих ячменя даде ми, глагола бо ко мне: да не идеши тща ко свекрови своей.
18 ‘Wait quietly, my daughter.’ Naomi said, ‘Until you know how the affair will turn out, for the man will not rest unless he settles it all today.’
Она же рече: седи, дщи, дондеже увеси, како падет слово: не умолчит бо муж, дондеже совершится слово днесь.
