Ruth 3
1 And Naomi 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 Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he is winnowing barley in the threshing-floor to-night.
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 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thyself, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go down to the floor; make not thyself known to the man, until he shall have 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 be, when he lies down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall have lain down, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thyself down; and he will shew 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 she said to her, All that thou sayest will I 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 floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law had bidden 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 Boaz ate and drank, and his heart was merry, and he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn. Then she went softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid herself down.
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 startled, and turned himself; 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 answered, I am Ruth, thy handmaid: spread thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou hast the right of redemption.
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 he said, Blessed be thou of Jehovah, my daughter! Thou hast shewn more kindness at the end than at the first, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether 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, my daughter, fear not: all that thou sayest will I do to thee; for all the gate of my people knows that thou art a woman of worth.
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, truly I am one that has the right of redemption, yet there is one that has the right of redemption who is 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 Stay over to-night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will redeem thee, well — let him redeem; but if he like not to redeem thee, then will I redeem thee, [as] Jehovah liveth. Lie down until 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 one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the threshing-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, Bring the cloak that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And she held it, and he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid [it] on her; and he 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 she came to her mother-in-law; and she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she 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, These six [measures] of barley gave he me; 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 Then she said, Be still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest until he have completed the matter 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
