Рут 3
1 След това, свекърва й Ноемин й рече: Дъщерьо моя, да не потърся ли спокойствие за тебе та да благоденствуваш?
One day, Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, I think that I should [RHQ] try to arrange for you to have a husband [MTY] who will (take care of/provide for) you.
2 И сега, не е ли от нашия род Вооз, с чиито момчета беше ти? Ето, тая нощ той вее ечемика на гумното.
Boaz, the man with whose [servant] girls you have been [gathering grain], is a close relative [of our dead husbands]. Listen [carefully]. Tonight he will be at the ground where [the barley has] been threshed. He will be separating the barley grain from the chaff.
3 Умий се, прочее, и помажи се, и облечи се с дрехите си и слез на гумното; но да се не покажеш на човека, догде не е свършил яденето и пиенето си.
Bathe yourself and put on some perfume. Put on your [best] clothes. Then go down to the ground where they have threshed [the grain]. But do not let Boaz know that you are there while he is eating [supper] and drinking.
4 И като си ляга, забележи мястото гдето ляга, и иди та подигни покривката из към нозете му и легни; и той ще ти каже що трябва да направиш.
[When he has finished eating], notice where he lies down to sleep. Then [when he is asleep], take the blanket off his feet and lie [close to his feet]. [When he wakes up], he will tell you what to do.”
5 А тя й рече: Всичко що ми каза, ще сторя.
Ruth replied, “I will do everything that you have told me [to do].”
6 И тъй слезе на гумното, та стори всичко, що й заповяда свекърва й.
So she went down to the ground where they had threshed [the barley grain]. There she did everything that her mother-in-law had told her [to do].
7 А Вооз, като яде и пи и сърцето му се развесели, отиде да си легне край купа ечемик; а тя дойде тихо та подигна покривката откъм нозете му и легна.
When Boaz finished eating [supper] and drinking [wine], he felt happy. Then he went over to the far end of the pile of grain. He lay down [and went to sleep]. Then Ruth approached him quietly. She took the blanket off his feet and lay down [there].
8 И около среднощ човекът се стресна и обърна; и ето жена лежеше при нозете му.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly awoke. He sat up and saw that a woman was lying at his feet.
9 И рече: Коя си ти? И тя отговори: Аз съм слугинята ти Рут; простри, прочее, полата си над слугинята си, защото си ми близък сродник.
He asked her, “Who are you?” She replied, “I am your servant, Ruth. Since you are the one who has a responsibility to take care of [someone like me whose dead husband was] your close relative, spread the corner of your cloak over my [feet to show that you will marry me].”
10 А той каза: Благословена да си от Господа, дъщерьо; тая последна доброта, която се показала, е по-голяма от предишната, гдето ти не отиде след млади, били те сиромаси или богати.
Boaz replied, “Young lady, I hope that Yahweh will (bless/be kind to) you! You have acted kindly [toward your mother-in-law], and now you are acting even more kindly [toward me by wanting to marry me, instead of wanting to marry a young man]. You have not looked for either a rich young man or a poor young man, [to marry him].
11 И сега, дъщерьо, не се бой; аз ще сторя за тебе всичко що казваш; защото целият град на людете ми знае, че си добродетелна жена.
Now, young lady, I will do everything you ask. Don’t worry [that people in this town might think I am doing wrong by marrying you because you are a woman from Moab]. All the people in this town know that you are an honorable woman.
12 И сега, вярно е, че аз съм близък сродник; има обаче друг сродник по-близък от мене.
But [there is one problem]. Although it is true that I am a close relative [of your mother-in-law’s dead husband], there is another man who is a closer relative [than I am], and therefore he should be the one to [marry you and] take care of you.
13 Остани тая нощ и утре, ако иска той да изпълни към тебе длъжността на сродник, добре, нека я изпълни; но, ако не иска да изпълни към тебе длъжността на сродник, тогава заклевам се в живота на Господа, аз ще изпълня тая длъжност към тебе. Пренощувай тук.
You stay here for the rest of this night. Tomorrow morning [I will tell this man about you]. If he says that he will [marry you and] take care of you, fine, [we will] let him do that. But if he is not willing [to do that], I solemnly promise that as surely as Yahweh lives, I will [marry you and] take care of you. So lie/sleep here until it is morning.”
14 И тя лежа при нозете му до сутринта, и стана преди да може човек да разпознае човека, защото той рече: Нека не се знае, че жена е дохождала на гумното.
So she lay at his feet until morning. But she got up and left before it was light enough that people would be able to recognize her, because Boaz said, “I do not want anyone to know that a woman was here.”
15 Рече още: Донеси покривалото, което е върху тебе, и дръж го. И като го държеше, той премери шест мери ечемик, та го натовари на нея; и тя си отиде в града.
He also said to her, “Bring to me your cloak and spread it out.” When she did that, he poured into it six measures/24 liters/50 pounds of barley, and put in on her back. Then he (OR, she) went back to the town.
16 И като дойде при свекърва си, тя й каза: Що ти стана, дъщерьо моя. И тя й разправи всичко, що й стори човекът.
When Ruth arrived home, her mother-in-law asked her, “My daughter, how did (things go/Boaz act toward you)?” Then Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her [and said to her].
17 Каза още: Даде ми тия шест мери ечемик, защото ми рече: Да не идеш празна при свекърва си.
She also said [to Naomi], “He gave me all this barley, saying ‘I do not want you to return to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
18 А тя рече: Седни, дъщерьо моя, догде видиш как ще се свърши работата; защото човекът няма да се спре, докато не свърши работата още днес.
Then Naomi said, “My daughter, just wait until we see what happens. [I am sure that] Boaz will take care of [LIT] the matter [of your marriage]. [LIT]”
