< Ruth 2 >

1 But there was a man related to Elimelech, a powerful man, and very wealthy, named Boaz.
И бе муж знаемый мужу Ноемминю: муж же силен от рода Елимелехова, имя же ему Вооз.
2 And Ruth, the Moabite, said to her mother-in-law, “If you order, I will go into the field and gather the ears of grain which escape the reaping hand, wherever I will find favor with the father of a family, who will be compassionate to me.” She answered her, “Go, my daughter.”
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).
3 And so she went and gathered the ears of grain after the completion of the reaping. But it happened that this field was owned by Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
И иде, и пришедши собираше на ниве вследствующи жателем: и прииде по случаю в часть нивы Воозовы, иже от сродства Елимелехова.
4 And behold, he came out of Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “The Lord be with you.” They answered him, “May the Lord bless you.”
И се, Вооз прииде от Вифлеема и рече жнущым: Господь с вами. И реша ему: да благословит тя Господь.
5 And Boaz said to the young man who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”
И рече Вооз отроку своему стоящему над жатели: чия отроковица сия?
6 He answered him, “This is the Moabite woman, who came with Naomi, from the land of the Moabites,
И отвеща отрок стояй над жнущими, и рече: отроковица Моавитиня есть, пришедшая с Ноемминою от села Моавля:
7 and she asked to gather the remnants of the ears of grain, following the steps of the reapers, and from morning until now she has remained in the field, and, indeed, not for one moment has she returned home.”
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.
8 And Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen to me, daughter. Do not go to gather in any other field, nor depart from this place, but join with my young women,
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,
9 and follow where they reap. For I have given orders to my young men, so that no one is to harass you. And so, whenever you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from the waters that the young men also drink.”
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.
10 She, falling on her face and paying homage on the ground, said to him: “How did this happen to me, that I should find favor before your eyes, and that you would condescend to accept me, a foreign woman?”
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?
11 He answered her, “Everything has been reported to me, what things you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband, and how you left your parents, and the land in which you were born, and came to a people you did not know before.
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:
12 May the Lord repay you for your work, and may you receive a full reward from the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you have come, and under whose wings you have taken refuge.”
да воздаст Господь дело твое, и да будет мзда твоя исполнь от Господа Бога Израилева, к Немуже пришла еси уповати под крилома Его.
13 She said, “I have found favor before your eyes, my lord, who has consoled me, and you have spoken to the heart of your handmaid, who is unlike one of your young women.”
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.
14 And Boaz said to her, “When mealtime begins, come here, and eat bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” And so she sat beside the reapers, and she piled up parched grain for herself, and she ate and was satisfied, and carried off the leftovers.
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:
15 And then she arose from there, so as to gather the ears of grain, according to the custom. But Boaz commanded his servants, saying, “If she is even willing to reap with you, do not prevent her,
и воста собирати. И заповеда Вооз отроком своим, глаголя: среде снопов да собирает, и не посрамите ю:
16 and purposely let fall some from your bundles, and allow them to remain, so that she may gather without blushing, and let no one rebuke her gathering.”
и носяще носите ей, и отлагающе отлагайте ей от снопов, и оставите ю собирати и ясти, и не возбраните ей.
17 And so she gathered in the field until evening. And striking and threshing with a staff what she had gathered, she found about the measure of an ephah of barley, that is, three measures.
И собира до вечера на ниве, и измлати еже собра, и бысть яко ифи мера ячменя:
18 Carrying this, she returned into the city and showed it to her mother-in-law. Moreover, she offered it to her and even gave her the leftovers of her food, with which she had been satisfied.
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.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gathered today, and where have you found work? Blessed is he who took pity on you!” And she informed her with whom she had been working, and she said the man’s name, that he was called Boaz.
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.
20 Naomi answered her, “May he be blessed by the Lord, because the same kindness which he provided for the living, he also kept for the dead.” And again she said: “This man is our near relative.”
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.
21 And Ruth said, “He charged me with this also, that from now on I should join with his reapers until all the crop has been reaped.”
И рече Руфь ко свекрови своей: и мне убо рече: ко отроковицам моим пристани, дондеже скончают всю жатву, яже есть мне.
22 And her mother-in-law said to her, “It is better, my daughter, to go out reaping with his young women, lest in a stranger’s field someone may confront you.”
И рече Ноемминь к Руфе снохе своей: благо, дщи, яко ходила еси со отроковицами его, и не сопротивятся тебе на иней ниве.
23 And so, she joined with the young women of Boaz, and from then on reaped with them, until the barley and the wheat were stored in the barns.
И приста Руфь ко отроковицам Воозовым собирати (класы), дондеже скончася жатва ячменя и пшеницы: и седе со свекровию своею.
