< Ruth 3 >

1 Afterward Naomi her mother in lawe said vnto her, My daughter, shall not I seeke rest for thee, that thou mayest prosper?
And she said to her Naomi mother-in-law her O daughter my ¿ not will I seek for you a resting place that it will go well for you.
2 Now also is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maides thou wast? beholde, he winoweth barly to night in the floore.
And therefore ¿ not [is] Boaz relative our whom you were with female servants his there! he [will be] winnowing [the] threshing floor of the barley this night.
3 Wash thy sellfe therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment vpon thee, and get thee downe to the floore: let not the man know of thee, vntill he haue left eating and drinking.
And you will wash - and you will anoint yourself and you will put (garments your *QK) on yourself (and you will go down *QK) the threshing floor may not you make yourself known to the man until finishes he to eat and to drink.
4 And when he shall sleepe, marke the place where he layeth him downe, and go, and vncouer the place of his feete, and lay thee downe, and he shall tell thee what thou shalt doe.
And let it be when lies down he and you will take note of the place where he will lie down there and you will go and you will uncover feet his (and you will lie down *Qk) and he he will tell to you [that] which you will do!
5 And she answered her, All that thou biddest me, I will doe.
And she said to her all that (you are saying to me *QK) I will do.
6 So she went downe vnto the floore, and did according to all that her mother in lawe bade her.
And she went down the threshing floor and she did according to all that she had commanded her mother-in-law her.
7 And when Boaz had eaten, and drunken, and cheared his heart, he went to lie downe at the end of the heape of corne, and she came softly, and vncouered the place of his feet, and lay downe.
And he ate Boaz and he drank and it was good heart his and he went to lie down at [the] end of the heap and she came in secrecy and she uncovered feet his and she lay down.
8 And at midnight the man was afraide and caught holde: and loe, a woman lay at his feete.
And it was in [the] middle of the night and he trembled the man and he twisted and there! a woman [was] lying down feet his.
9 Then he sayd, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmayd: spread therefore the wing of thy garment ouer thine handmayd: for thou art the kinsman.
And he said who? [are] you and she said I [am] Ruth maidservant your and you will spread out skirt your over maidservant your for [are] a kinsman-redeemer you.
10 Then sayd he, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: thou hast shewed more goodnes in the latter end, then at the beginning, in as much as thou followedst not yong men, were they poore or rich.
And he said [be] blessed you by Yahweh O daughter my you have made good loyalty your latter more than former to not to go after the young men whether poor and or rich.
11 And now, my daughter, feare not: I will doe to thee all that thou requirest: for all the citie of my people doeth knowe, that thou art a vertuous woman.
And therefore O daughter my may not you fear all that you are saying I will do for you for [is] knowing all [the] gate of people my that [are] a woman of ability you.
12 And now, it is true that I am thy kinsman, howbeit there is a kinsman neerer then I.
And therefore for truly that [am] a kinsman-redeemer I and also there [is] a kinsman-redeemer near more than I.
13 Tarie to night, and when morning is come, if he will doe the duetie of a kinsman vnto thee, well, let him doe the kinsmans duetie: but if he will not doe the kinsmans part, then wil I doe the duetie of a kinsman, as the Lord liueth: sleepe vntill the morning.
Stay - this night and it will be in the morning if he will redeem you good let him redeem and if not he will be willing to redeem you and I will redeem you I [by] [the] life of Yahweh lie down until the morning.
14 And she lay at his feete vntill the morning: and she arose before one could know another: for he sayd, Let no man knowe, that a woman came into the floore.
And she lay down (feet his *QK) until the morning and she arose (before *QK) he recognized anyone neighbor his and he said may not it be known that she came the woman the threshing floor.
15 Also he sayd, Bring the sheete that thou hast vpon thee, and holde it. And when she helde it, he measured sixe measures of barly, and layde them on her, and she went into the citie.
And he said give the shawl which [is] on you and take hold on it and she took hold on it and he measured out six barley and he put [it] on her and he came the city.
16 And when she came to her mother in law, she sayd, Who art thou, my daughter? And she tolde her all that the man had done to her,
And she came to mother-in-law her and she said who? [are] you O daughter my and she told to her all that he had done for her the man.
17 And said, These sixe measures of barly gaue he me: for he sayd to me, Thou shalt not come emptie vnto thy mother in lawe.
And she said [the] six the barley these he gave to me for (he said to me *QK) may not you go empty to mother-in-law your.
18 Then sayd she, My daughter, sit still, vntill thou knowe how the thing will fall: for the man wil not be in rest, vntill he hath finished the matter this same day.
And she said sit down O daughter my until that you will know! how? will it fall out a matter for not he will be at peace the man that except he has finished the matter this day.
