Ruth 3
1 And she lodged with her mother-in-law: and Noemin her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
爰に姑ナオミ彼にいひけるは女子よ我汝の安身所を求めて汝を幸ならしむべきにあらずや
2 And now [is] not Booz our kinsman, with whose damsels thou wast? behold, he winnows barley this night in the floor.
夫汝が偕にありし婢等を有る彼ボアズは我等の知己なるにあらずや 視よ彼は今夜 禾塲にて大麥を簸る
3 But do thou wash, and anoint thyself, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go up to the threshing-floor: do not discover thyself to the man until he has done eating and drinking.
然ば汝の身を洗て膏をぬり衣服をまとひて禾塲に下り汝をその人にしらせずしてその食飮を終るを待て
4 And it shall come to pass when he lies down, that thou shalt mark the place where he lies down, and shalt come and lift up the covering of his feet, and shalt lie down; and he shall tell thee what thou shalt do.
而て彼が臥す時に汝その臥す所を見とめおき入てその脚を掀開りて其處に臥せよ 彼なんぢの爲べきことを汝につげんと
5 And Ruth said to her, All that thou shalt say, I will do.
ルツ姑にいひけるは汝が我に言ところは我皆なすべしと
6 And she went down to the threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law enjoined her.
すなはち禾塲に下り凡てその姑の命ぜしごとくなせり
7 And Booz ate and drank, and his heart was glad, and he came to lie down by the side of the heap of corn; and she came secretly, and lifted up the covering of his feet.
偖ボアズは食飮をなしてその心をたのしませ往て麥を積る所の傍に臥す 是に於て彼潜にゆきその足を掀開て其處に臥す
8 And it came to pass at midnight that the man was amazed, and troubled, and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
夜半におよびて其人畏懼をおこし起かへりて見るに一人の婦その足の方に臥ゐたれば
9 And he said, Who art thou? and she said, I am thine handmaid Ruth; spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid, for thou art a near relation.
汝は誰なるやといふに婦こたへて我は汝の婢ルツなり 汝の裾をもて婢を覆ひたまへ 汝は贖業者なればなり
10 And Booz said, Blessed [be] thou of the Lord God, [my] daughter, for thou hast made thy latter kindness greater than the former, in that thou followest not after young men, whether [any be] poor or rich.
ボアズいひけるは女子よねがはくはヱホバの恩典なんぢにいたれ 汝の後の誠實は前のよりも勝る 其は汝貧きと富とを論ず少き人に從ふことをせざればなり
11 And now fear not, my daughter, whatever thou shalt say I will do to thee; for all the tribe of my people knows that thou art a virtuous woman.
されば女子よ懼るなかれ 汝が言ふところの事は皆われ汝のためになすべし 其はわが邑の人皆なんぢの賢き女なるをしればなり
12 And now I am truly akin to thee; nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.
我はまことに贖業者なりと雖も我よりも近き贖業者あり
13 Lodge [here] for the night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will do the part of a kinsman to thee, well—let him do it: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, I will do the kinsman's part to thee, [as] the Lord lives; lie down till the morning.
今夜は此に住宿れ 朝におよびて彼もし汝のために贖ふならば善し彼に贖はしめよ 然ど彼もし汝のために贖ふことを好まずばヱホバは活く我汝のために贖はん 朝まで此に臥せよと
14 And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before a man could know his neighbour; and Booz said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
ルツ朝までその足の方に臥て誰彼の辨がたき頃に起あがる ボアズ此女の禾塲に來りしことを人にしらしむべからずといへり
15 And he said to her, Bring the apron that is upon thee: and she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and put them upon her, and she went into the city.
而していひけるは汝の著る袿衣を將きたりて其を開げよと 即ち開げければ大麥六升を量りて之に負せたり 斯して彼邑にいたりぬ
16 And Ruth went in to her mother-in-law, and she said to her, [My] daughter! and [Ruth] told her all that the man had done to her.
爰にルツその姑の許に至るに姑いふ 女子よ如何ありしやと 彼すなはち其人の己になしたる事をことごとく之につげて
17 And she said to her, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother-in-law.
而していひけるは彼空手にて汝の姑の許に往くなかれといひて此六升の大麥を我にあたへたり
18 And she said, Sit still, [my] daughter, until thou shalt know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.
姑いひけるは女子よ坐して待ち事の如何になりゆくかを見よ 彼人今日その事を爲終ずば安んぜざるべければなり
