< Ruth 3 >
1 And Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, My daughter, am I not to get you a resting-place where you may be in comfort?
E disse-lhe Noemi, sua sogra: Minha filha, não hei de eu buscar descanço, para que fiques bem?
2 And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor.
Ora pois, não é Boaz, com cujas moças estiveste, de nossa parentela? eis que esta noite padejará a cevada na eira.
3 So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.
Lava-te pois, e unge-te, e veste os teus vestidos, e desce á eira: porém não te dês a conhecer ao homem, até que tenha acabado de comer e beber.
4 But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do.
E ha de ser que, quando elle se deitar, notarás o logar em que se deitar; então entra, e descobrir-lhe-has os pés, e te deitarás, e elle te fará saber o que deves fazer.
5 And she said, I will do all you say.
E ella lhe disse: Tudo quanto me disseres, farei.
6 So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.
Então foi para a eira, e fez conforme a tudo quanto sua sogra lhe tinha ordenado.
7 Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest.
Havendo pois Boaz comido e bebido, e estando já o seu coração alegre, veiu deitar-se ao pé de uma meda; então veiu ella de mansinho, e lhe descobriu os pés, e se deitou.
8 Now in the middle of the night, the man awaking from his sleep in fear, and lifting himself up, saw a woman stretched at his feet.
E succedeu que, pela meia noite, o homem estremeceu, e se voltou: e eis que uma mulher jazia a seus pés.
9 And he said, Who are you? And she answering said, I am your servant Ruth: take your servant as wife, for you are a near relation.
E disse elle: Quem és tu? E ella disse: Sou Ruth, tua serva; estende pois tua aba sobre a tua serva, porque tu és o remidor.
10 And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth.
E disse elle: Bemdita sejas tu do Senhor, minha filha; melhor fizeste esta tua ultima beneficencia do que a primeira, pois após de nenhuns mancebos foste, quer pobres quer ricos.
11 And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.
Agora pois, minha filha, não temas; tudo quanto disseste te farei, pois toda a cidade do meu povo sabe que és mulher virtuosa.
12 Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.
Porém agora é muito verdade que eu sou remidor: mas ainda outro remidor ha mais chegado do que eu.
13 Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so.
Fica-te aqui esta noite, e será que, pela manhã, se elle te redimir, bem está, elle te redima; porém, se te não quizer redimir, vive o Senhor, que eu te redimirei: deita-te aqui até ámanhã.
14 And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor.
Ficou-se pois deitada a seus pés até pela manhã, e levantou-se antes que podesse um conhecer a outro, porquanto disse: Não se saiba que alguma mulher veiu á eira
15 And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.
Disse mais: Dá cá o roupão que tens sobre ti, e tem mão n'elle. E ella teve mão n'elle; e elle mediu seis medidas de cevada, e lh'as poz em cima; então entrou na cidade,
16 And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.
E veiu á sua sogra, a qual disse: Quem és tu, minha filha? E ella lhe contou tudo quanto aquelle homem lhe fizera.
17 And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.
Disse mais: Estas seis medidas de cevada me deu, porque me disse: Não vás vazia a tua sogra.
18 Then she said, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through.
Então disse ella: Está quieta, minha filha, até que saibas como irá o caso, porque aquelle homem não descançará até que conclua hoje este negocio
