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 sua sogra Noemi: Filha minha, não tenho de buscar descanso a ti, 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.
Não é Boaz nosso parente, com cujas moças tu tens estado? Eis que ele aventa esta noite a os grãos de cevada.
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.
Tu te lavarás, pois, e te ungirás, e vestindo-te tuas vestes, passarás à eira; mas não te darás a conhecer ao homem até que ele tenha acabado de comer e de 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 quando ele se deitar, repara tu o lugar de onde ele se deitará, e irás, e descobrirás os pés, e te deitarás ali; e ele te dirá o que tenhas de fazer.
5 And she said, I will do all you say.
E lhe respondeu: Farei tudo o que tu me mandares.
6 So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.
Desceu, pois à eira, e fez tudo o que sua sogra lhe havia mandado.
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.
E quando Boaz havia comido e bebido, e seu coração esteve contente, retirou-se para dormir a um lado do amontoado. Então ela veio caladamente, e revelou os pés, e deitou-se.
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 aconteceu, que à meia noite se estremeceu aquele homem, e apalpou: e eis que, a mulher que estava deitada 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.
Então ele disse: Quem és? E ela respondeu: Eu sou Rute tua serva: estende a borda de tua capa sobre tua serva, porquanto és parente próximo.
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 ele disse: Bendita sejas tu do SENHOR, filha minha; que fizeste melhor tua última bondade que a primeira, não indo atrás dos rapazes, sejam pobres ou 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, não temas, filha minha: eu farei contigo o que tu disseres, pois que toda a porta de 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.
E agora, ainda que seja certo que eu sou parente próximo, contudo isso há parente mais próximo 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.
Repousa esta noite, e quando for de dia, se ele te redimir, bem, redima-te; mas se ele não te quiser redimir, eu te redimirei, vive o SENHOR. Descansa, pois, até a manhã.
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.
E depois que repousou a seus pés até a manhã, levantou-se, antes que ninguém pudesse conhecer a outro. E ele disse: Não se saiba que tenha vindo mulher à 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.
Depois lhe disse: Aproxima o lenço que trazes sobre ti, e segura-o. E enquanto ela o segurava, ele mediu seis medidas de cevada, e as pôs às costas: e veio ela à 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.
Assim que veio à sua sogra, esta lhe disse: Que houve, minha filha? E ela lhe declarou ela tudo o que com aquele homem lhe havia acontecido.
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.
E disse: Estas seis medidas de cevada me deu, dizendo-me: Porque não vás vazia à 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 Noemi disse: Repousa, filha minha, até que saibas como a coisa se sucede; porque aquele homem não parará até que hoje conclua o negócio.
