Книга Руфи 2
1 И бе муж знаемый мужу Ноемминю: муж же силен от рода Елимелехова, имя же ему Вооз.
Now Naomi was related through her husband to a very wealthy man of the family of Elimelech named Boaz.
2 И рече Руфь Моавитиня к Ноеммини: да иду убо на ниву и соберу класы вследствующи, идеже аще обрящу благодать пред очима его. Рече же ей: иди, дщи (моя).
Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, ‘Let me now go into the fields and gather leftover grain behind anyone who will allow me.’ ‘Go, my daughter,’ she replied.
3 И иде, и пришедши собираше на ниве вследствующи жателем: и прииде по случаю в часть нивы Воозовы, иже от сродства Елимелехова.
So she went to glean in the field after the reapers. As it happened, she was in that part of the field which belonged to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 И се, Вооз прииде от Вифлеема и рече жнущым: Господь с вами. И реша ему: да благословит тя Господь.
When Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, ‘The Lord be with you,’ they answered him, ‘May the Lord bless you.’
5 И рече Вооз отроку своему стоящему над жатели: чия отроковица сия?
‘Whose girl is this?’ Boaz asked his servant who had charge of the reapers.
6 И отвеща отрок стояй над жнущими, и рече: отроковица Моавитиня есть, пришедшая с Ноемминою от села Моавля:
The servant who had charge of the reapers replied, ‘It is the Moabite girl who came back with Naomi from the territory of Moab.
7 и рече: да соберу ныне и сложу в снопех по следу жнущих: и прииде, и ста от утра даже и до вечера, и ни мало почи на ниве.
She asked to be allowed to glean and gather sheaves after the reapers. So she came and has continued to work until now and she has not rested a moment in the field.’
8 И рече Вооз к Руфе: слыши, дщи, не ходи собирати на ниву ину, и ты да не отидеши отсюду: но зде прилепися ко отроковицам моим,
Then Boaz said to Ruth, ‘Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field nor leave this place, but stay here with my girls.
9 и очи твои да будут на ниве, идеже жнут, и да ходиши вслед их: се, заповедах отроком не коснутися тебе: и егда возжаждеши, и да идеши к сосудом, и пиеши отнюдуже черплют отроцы.
Watch where the men are reaping and follow the gleaners. I have told the young men not to trouble you. When you are thirsty, go to the jars and drink of that which the young men have drawn.’
10 И паде (отроковица) ниц и поклонися до земли, и рече ему: что яко обретох благодать пред очима твоима, еже познати мя, аз же есмь странна?
Then she bowed low and said to him, ‘Why are you so kind to me, to take interest in me when I am just a foreigner?’
11 И отвеща Вооз и рече к ней: возвещением возвестися мне, елика сотворила еси со свекровию твоею по умертвии мужа твоего, и како оставила еси отца твоего и матерь твою и землю рождения твоего, и пришла еси в люди, ихже не ведала от вчера и третияго дне:
Boaz replied, ‘I have heard what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you left your father and mother and your native land to come to a people that you did not know before.
12 да воздаст Господь дело твое, и да будет мзда твоя исполнь от Господа Бога Израилева, к Немуже пришла еси уповати под крилома Его.
May the Lord repay you for what you have done, and may you be fully rewarded by the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.’
13 Она же рече: обретох благодать пред очима твоима, господине мой, яко утешил мя еси, и яко глаголал еси в сердце рабы твоея, и се, аз буду яко едина от рабынь твоих.
Then she said, ‘I trust I may please you, my lord, for you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your servant, although I am not really equal to one of your own servants.’
14 И рече ей Вооз: уже час ясти, приближися убо семо, да яси хлеб мой, и омочи укрух твой во оцет. И сяде Руфь от страны жателей: и подаде ей Вооз пряжмо, и яде и насытися, и оста:
At mealtime Boaz said to Ruth, ‘Come here and eat some of the food and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.’ So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed her some roasted grain. She ate until she was satisfied and had some left.
15 и воста собирати. И заповеда Вооз отроком своим, глаголя: среде снопов да собирает, и не посрамите ю:
When she rose to glean, Boaz gave this order to his young men: ‘Let her glean even among the sheaves and do not disturb her.
16 и носяще носите ей, и отлагающе отлагайте ей от снопов, и оставите ю собирати и ясти, и не возбраните ей.
Also pull out some for her from the bundles and leave for her to glean, and do not find fault with her.’
17 И собира до вечера на ниве, и измлати еже собра, и бысть яко ифи мера ячменя:
So she gleaned in the field until evening, then beat out what she had gleaned. It was about a bushel of barley.
18 и взя, и прииде во град. И виде свекровь ея еже собра: и иземши Руфь от недр своих, даде свекрови своей, еже оставила, от нихже насытися.
Then she took it up and went into the town and showed her mother-in-law what she had gleaned. She also brought out and gave her that which she had left from her meal after she had had enough.
19 И рече к ней свекровь ея: где еси собирала днесь, и где работала? Да будет благословен познавый тя. И поведа Руфь свекрови своей, где работала, и рече: имя мужу Вооз, у негоже работах днесь.
‘Where did you glean today, and where did you work?’ asked her mother-in-law. ‘A blessing on him who took notice of you!’ So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. ‘The name of the man with whom I worked today,’ she said, ‘is Boaz.’
20 Рече же Ноемминь снохе своей: благословен есть Господем, яко не остави милости своея с живыми и со умершими. И рече ей Ноемминь: ужик есть нам муж той, и есть от ужик наших.
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, ‘May the blessing of the Lord rest on this man who has not ceased to show his loving-kindness to the living and to the dead. The man,’ she added, ‘is a near relation of ours.’
21 И рече Руфь ко свекрови своей: и мне убо рече: ко отроковицам моим пристани, дондеже скончают всю жатву, яже есть мне.
‘He told me,’ Ruth said, ‘that I must keep near his young men until they have completed all his harvest.’
22 И рече Ноемминь к Руфе снохе своей: благо, дщи, яко ходила еси со отроковицами его, и не сопротивятся тебе на иней ниве.
Naomi said to Ruth, ‘It is best, my daughter, that you should go out with his girls because you might not be as safe in another field.’
23 И приста Руфь ко отроковицам Воозовым собирати (класы), дондеже скончася жатва ячменя и пшеницы: и седе со свекровию своею.
So she gleaned with the girls of Boaz until the end of the barley and wheat harvest; but she lived with her mother-in-law.
