Ruth 2
1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
ナオミにその夫の知己あり 即ちエリメレクの族にして大なる力の人なり その名をボアズといふ
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
茲にモアブの女ルツ、ナオミにいひけるは請ふわれをして田にゆかしめよ 我何人かの目のまへに恩をうることあらばその人の後にしたがひて穗を拾はんと ナオミ彼に女子よ往べしといひければ
3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and she happened to come to a part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
乃ち往き遂に至りて刈者の後にしたがひ田にて穗を拾ふ 彼 意はずもエリメレクの族なるボアズの田の中にいたれり
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.
時にボアズ、ベテレヘムより來り その刈者等刈者等に言ふ ねがはくはヱホバ汝等とともに在せと 彼等すなはち答てねがはくはヱホバ汝を祝たまへといふ
5 Then said Boaz to his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
ボアズその刈者を督る僕にいひけるは此は誰の女なるや
6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi from the country of Moab:
刈者を督る人こたへて言ふ是はモアブの女にしてモアブの地よりナオミとともに還りし者なるが
7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
いふ請ふ我をして刈者の後にしたがひて禾束の間に穗をひろひあつめしめよと 而して來りて朝より今にいたるまで此にあり 其家にやすみし間は暫時のみ
8 Then said Boaz to Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from here, but abide here close by my maidens:
ボアズ、ルツにいひけるは女子よ聽け 他の田に穗をひろひにゆくなかれ 又此よりいづるなかれわが婢等に離ずして此にをるべし
9 Let thy eyes be on the field that they are reaping, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
人々の刈ところの田に目をとめてその後にしたがひゆけ 我 少者等に汝にさはるなかれと命ぜしにあらずや 汝渇く時は器の所にゆきて少者の汲るを飮めと
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found grace in thy eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
彼すなはち伏して地に拜し之にいひけるは我 如何して汝の目の前に恩惠を得たるか なんぢ異邦人なる我を顧みると
11 And Boaz answered and said to her, It hath fully been shown to me, all that thou hast done to thy mother in law since the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and hast come to a people which thou knewest not before.
ボアズこたへて彼にいひけるは汝が夫の死にたるより巳來姑に盡したる事汝がその父母および生れたる國を離れて見ず識ずの民に來りし事皆われに聞えたり
12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to trust.
ねがはくはヱホバ汝の行爲に報いたまへ ねがはくはイスラエルの神ヱホバ即ち汝がその翼の下に身を寄んとて來れる者汝に十分の報施をたまはんことを
13 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I am not like one of thy handmaidens.
彼いひけるは主よ我をして汝の目の前に恩をえせしめたまへ 我は汝の仕女の一人にも及ざるに汝かく我を慰め斯 仕女に懇切に語りたまふ
14 And Boaz said to her, At mealtime come thou here, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached for her roasted grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.
ボアズかれにいひけるは食事の時は此にきたりてこのパンを食ひ且汝の食物をこの醋に濡せよと 彼すなはち刈者の傍に坐しければボアズ烘麥をかれに與ふ 彼くらひて飽き其 餘を懷む
15 And when she had risen to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
かくて彼また穗をひろはんとて起あがりければボアズその少者に命じていふ 彼をして禾束の間にても穗をひろはしめよ かれを羞しむるなかれ
16 And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
且手の穗を故に彼がために抽落しおきて彼に拾はしめよ 叱るなかれ
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out that which she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
彼かく薄暮まで田に穗を拾ひてその拾ひし者を撲しに大麥一斗許ありき
18 And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out, and gave to her what she had reserved after she was satisfied.
彼すなはち之を携へて邑にいり姑にその拾ひし者を看せ且その飽きたる後に懷めおきたる者を取出して之にあたふ
19 And her mother in law said to her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where hast thou laboured? blessed be he that took knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
姑かれにいひけるは汝今日何處にて穗をひろひしや 何の處にて工作しや 願くは汝を眷顧たる者に福祉あれ 彼すなはち姑にその誰の所に工作しかを告げていふ 今日われに工作をなさしめたる人の名はボアズといふ
20 And Naomi said to her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not withheld his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of our next kinsmen.
ナオミ媳にいひけるは願はヱホバの恩かれに至れ 彼は生ける者と死る者とを棄ずして恩をほどこす ナオミまた彼にいひけるは其人は我等に縁ある者にして我等の贖業者の一人なり
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said to me also, Thou shalt keep close by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
モアブの女ルツいひけるは彼また我にかたりて汝わが穫刈の盡く終るまでわが少者の傍をはなるるなかれといへりと
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou shouldest go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
ナオミその媳ルツにいひけるは女子よ汝かれの婢等とともに出るは善し 然れば他の田にて人に見らるることを免かれん
23 So she kept close by the maidens of Boaz to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
是によりて彼ボアズの婢等の傍を離れずして穗をひろひ大麥刈と小麥刈の終にまでおよぶ 彼その姑とともにをる
