< 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.
E tinha Noemi um parente de seu marido, homem poderoso e rico, da família de Elimeleque, o qual se chamava Boaz.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
E Rute a moabita disse a Noemi: Rogo-te que me deixes ir ao campo, e colherei espigas atrás daquele a cujos olhos achar favor. E ela lhe respondeu: Vai, filha minha.
3 And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And her chance was to land on the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
Foi, pois, e chegando, tirou espigas no campo atrás dos ceifeiros: e aconteceu porventura, que o terreno era de Boaz, o qual era da parentela de Elimeleque.
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, Jehovah be with you. And they answered him, Jehovah bless thee.
E eis que Boaz veio de Belém, e disse aos ceifeiros: O SENHOR seja convosco. E eles responderam: O SENHOR te abençoe.
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
E Boaz disse a seu criado o supervisor dos ceifeiros: De quem é esta moça?
6 And the servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabite damsel who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
E o criado, supervisor dos ceifeiros, respondeu e disse: É a moça de Moabe, que voltou com Noemi dos campos de Moabe;
7 And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather behind the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she tarried a little in the house.
E disse: Rogo-te que me deixes colher e juntar atrás dos ceifeiros entre os feixes; entrou, pois, e está desde pela manhã até agora, menos um pouco que se deteve em casa.
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, Do thou not hear, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from here, but abide here close by my maidens.
Então Boaz disse á Rute: Ouve, filha minha, não vás a tirar espigas em outro campo, nem passes daqui: e aqui estarás com minhas moças.
9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they reap, and go thou after them. Have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? And when thou are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
Olha bem o campo que colherem, e segue-as: porque eu mandei aos moços que não te toquem. E se tiveres sede, vai aos vasos, e bebe da água que os moços tirarem.
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favor in thy sight that thou should take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreigner?
Ela então baixando seu rosto inclinou-se à terra, e disse-lhe: Por que achei favor em teus olhos para que tu me reconheças, sendo eu estrangeira?
11 And Boaz answered and said to her, It has been fully shown me all that thou have done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband, and how thou have left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and have come to a people that thou knew not formerly.
E respondendo Boaz, disse-lhe: Por certo se me declarou tudo o que fizeste com tua sogra depois da morte de teu marido, e que deixando teu pai e tua mãe e a terra de onde nasceste, vieste a um povo que não conheceste antes.
12 Jehovah recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou have come to take refuge.
O SENHOR recompense tua obra, e tua remuneração seja cheia pelo SENHOR Deus de Israel, que vieste para cobrir-te debaixo de suas asas.
13 Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord, because thou have comforted me, and because thou have spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I be not as one of thy handmaidens.
E ela disse: Senhor meu, ache eu favor diante de teus olhos; porque me consolaste, e porque falaste ao coração de tua serva, não sendo eu como uma de tuas criadas.
14 And at mealtime Boaz said to her, Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left of it.
E Boaz lhe disse à hora de comer: Achega-te aqui, e come do pão, e molha teu bocado no vinagre. E sentou-se ela junto aos ceifeiros, e ele lhe deu grãos tostados, e comeu até que se fartou e lhe sobrou.
15 And when she arose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.
Levantou-se logo para tirar espigas. E Boaz mandou a seus criados, dizendo: Colha também espigas entre os feixes, e não a envergonheis;
16 And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her.
Antes lançareis de propósito dos feixes, e a deixareis que colha, e não a repreendais.
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. And she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
E tirou espigas no campo até à tarde, e debulhou o que havia colhido, e foi como um efa de cevada.
18 And she took it up, and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was satisfied.
E tomou-o, e veio à cidade; e sua sogra viu o que havia colhido. Tirou também logo o que lhe havia sobrado depois de farta, e deu-lhe.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have thou gleaned today? And where have thou worked? Blessed be he who took knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz.
E disse-lhe sua sogra: Onde tiraste espigas hoje? e onde trabalhaste? Bendito seja o que te reconheceu. E ela declarou à sua sogra o que lhe havia acontecido com aquele, e disse: O nome do homem com quem hoje trabalhei é Boaz.
20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah who has not left off 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 near kinsmen.
E disse Noemi à sua nora: Seja ele bendito do SENHOR, pois que não recusou aos vivos a benevolência que teve para com os finados. Disse-lhe depois Noemi: Nosso parente é aquele homem, e de nossos remidores é.
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yes, he said to me, Thou shall keep close by my young men until they have ended all my harvest.
E Rute moabita disse: a mais disto me disse: Junta-te com meus criados, até que tenham acabado toda minha colheita.
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they not meet thee in any other field.
E Noemi respondeu a Rute sua nora: Melhor é, filha minha, que saias com suas criadas, que não que te encontrem em outro campo.
23 So she kept close by the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest. And she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
Esteve, pois, junto com as moças de Boaz tirando espigas, até que a colheita das cevadas e a dos trigos foi acabada; mas com sua sogra habitou.
