Rut 2
1 Tenía Noemí un pariente por parte de su marido, de la familia de Elimelec, un hombre poderoso y rico, que se llamaba Booz.
Now Naomi had a relative of her husband, a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
2 Y dijo Rut, la moabita, a Noemí: “Si me permites, iré al campo, y recogeré espigas en pos de aquel en cuyos ojos hallare gracia.” Dijo ella: “Anda, hija mía.”
Ruth, the Moabite woman, said to Naomi, “Now let me go and glean what remains among the ears of grain in the fields. I will follow anyone in whose eyes I will find favor.” So Naomi said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 Fue, pues, y se puso a espigar en el campo detrás de los segadores. Por fortuna dio con la parcela del campo que pertenecía a Booz, de la familia de Elimelec.
Ruth went and gleaned what remained in the fields after they had harvested it. She happened to come to the portion of the fields belonging to Boaz, who was of the clan of Elimelek.
4 Y he aquí que Booz vino de Betlehem, y dijo a los segadores: “Yahvé sea con vosotros.” Ellos le contestaron: “Yahvé te bendiga.”
Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
5 Preguntó Booz al criado suyo que era sobrestante de los segadores: “¿De quién es esa joven?”
Then Boaz said to his servant who was supervising the reapers, “What man does this young woman belong to?”
6 El criado, sobrestante de los segadores, contestó diciendo: “Es una joven moabita que ha vuelto con Noemí de los campos de Moab.
The servant supervising the reapers answered and said, “It is the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the land of Moab.
7 Ella me dijo: “Déjame espigar e ir detrás de los segadores para recoger entre las gavillas.” Así vino y se ha quedado desde la mañana, hasta ahora; este descanso que (ahora) se toma en la cabaña es muy corto.”
She said to me, 'Please let me glean what remains in the field after the workers harvest the crop.' So she came here and has continued from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”
8 Dijo luego Booz a Rut: “Oye, hija mía, no vayas a espigar a otro campo, ni te apartes de aquí, sino sigue de cerca a mis criadas.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Are you listening to me, my daughter? Do not go and glean in another field; do not leave my field. Instead, stay here and work with my young female workers.
9 Fija tus ojos en el campo donde se siega y anda detrás de ellas: Pues he dado orden a los criados que no te toquen. Y si tienes sed, irás donde están las vasijas y beberás del agua que han sacado los criados.”
Keep your eyes only on the field where the men are reaping and follow behind the other women. Have I not instructed the men not to touch you? Whenever you are thirsty, you may go to the waterpots and drink the water that the men have drawn.”
10 Entonces ella cayó sobre su rostro, y postrada en tierra le dijo: “¿De dónde me viene el haber hallado gracia a tus ojos para que me mires, siendo como soy extranjera?”
Then she bowed down before Boaz, touching her face to the ground. She said to him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you should be concerned about me, a foreigner?”
11 Respondió Booz y le dijo: “Me han contado todo lo que has hecho para con tu suegra, después de la muerte de tu marido; y cómo has dejado a tu padre y a tu madre y al país de tu nacimiento, y has venido a un pueblo que no conocías antes.
Boaz answered and said to her, “It has been reported to me, all that you have done since the death of your husband. You have left your father, mother, and the land of your birth to follow your mother-in-law and to come to a people you do not know.
12 Recompense Yahvé lo que has hecho, y recibas pleno galardón de parte de Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, bajo cuyas alas te has amparado.”
May Yahweh reward you for your deed. May you receive full payment from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have found refuge.”
13 Respondió ella: “¡Halle yo gracia a tus ojos, señor mío! Pues tú me has consolado y has hablado al corazón de tu sierva, aunque no soy ni como una de tus criadas.”
Then she said, “Let me find favor in your eyes, my master, for you have comforted me, and you have spoken kindly to me, though I am not one of your female servants.”
14 Llegada la hora de comer le dijo Booz: “Ven aquí y come del pan, y moja tu bocado en el vinagre.” Ella se sentó al lado de los segadores; y él le dio del grano tostado, del cual ella comió hasta saciarse, y guardó el resto.
At mealtime Boaz said to Ruth, “Come here, and eat some of the bread, and dip your morsel in the wine vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and he offered her some roasted grain. She ate until she was satisfied and left the rest of it.
15 Y cuando se levantó para seguir espigando, mandó Booz a sus criados, diciendo: “Hasta entre las gavillas podrá ella recoger espigas, no la increpéis;
As she got up to gather up grain, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her gather up the grain even among the bundles, and do not tell her not to.
16 antes bien, dejad caer para ella algo de las gavillas, abandonándolo atrás para que ella lo recoja; y no la reprendáis.”
Also pull out for her some ears of grain from the bundles, and leave them for her to gather up, and do not rebuke her.”
17 Estuvo Rut espigando en el campo hasta la tarde, y cuando batió lo que había recogido, había como una efa de cebada.
So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out the ears of grain that she had gathered, and the grain was about an ephah of barley.
18 Cargó con ello y se volvió a la ciudad; y vio su suegra lo que había espigado. Tras esto Rut sacó lo que había guardado después de haberse saciado, y se lo dio.
She lifted it up and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gathered. Ruth also brought out the roasted grain left from her meal and gave it to her.
19 Le preguntó su suegra: “¿Dónde has espigado hoy, y en qué parte has trabajado? Bendito quien te ha mirado.” Dijo entonces a su suegra con quién había trabajado, y agregó: “El hombre con quien hoy he trabajado se llama Booz.”
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where did you go to work? May the man who helped you be blessed.” Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the man who owned the field where she had worked. She said, “The name of the man who owns the field where I worked today is Boaz.”
20 Entonces dijo Noemí a su nuera: “¡Bendito sea él de Yahvé! porque no ha dejado de mostrar su bondad, tanto con los vivos como con los muertos.” Y añadió Noemí: “Pariente cercano nuestro es ese hombre; es uno de nuestros parientes, uno de los que tienen la obligación del levirato.”
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, who has not left off his loyalty to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “That man is near of kin to us, one of our kinsman-redeemers.”
21 Y dijo Rut, la moabita: “Él me mandó también: Sigue de cerca a mis criados hasta que hayan acabado de segar toda mi cosecha.”
Ruth the Moabite woman said, “Indeed, he said to me, 'You should keep close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.'”
22 Dijo entonces Noemí a Rut, su nuera: “Mejor es, hija mía, que salgas con sus criados, para que no te maltraten en otro campo.”
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young female workers, so that you do not come to harm in any other field.”
23 Se acogió para espigar, a las criadas de Booz, hasta terminar la siega de las cebadas y la siega de los trigos. Y habitaba con su suegra.
So she stayed close to Boaz's female workers in order to glean to the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. She lived with her mother-in-law.
