Ruth 2
1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of valour, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
ナオミにその夫の知己あり 即ちエリメレクの族にして大なる力の人なり その名をボアズといふ
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi: 'Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find favour.' And she said unto her: 'Go, my daughter.'
茲にモアブの女ルツ、ナオミにいひけるは請ふわれをして田にゆかしめよ 我何人かの目のまへに恩をうることあらばその人の後にしたがひて穗を拾はんと ナオミ彼に女子よ往べしといひければ
3 And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and her hap was to light on the portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
乃ち往き遂に至りて刈者の後にしたがひ田にて穗を拾ふ 彼 意はずもエリメレクの族なるボアズの田の中にいたれり
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers: 'The LORD be with you.' And they answered him: 'The LORD bless thee.'
時にボアズ、ベテレヘムより來り その刈者等刈者等に言ふ ねがはくはヱホバ汝等とともに在せと 彼等すなはち答てねがはくはヱホバ汝を祝たまへといふ
5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers: 'Whose damsel is this?'
ボアズその刈者を督る僕にいひけるは此は誰の女なるや
6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said: 'It is a Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the field of Moab;
刈者を督る人こたへて言ふ是はモアブの女にしてモアブの地よりナオミとともに還りし者なるが
7 and she said: Let me glean, I pray you, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves; so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, save that she tarried a little in the house.'
いふ請ふ我をして刈者の後にしたがひて禾束の間に穗をひろひあつめしめよと 而して來りて朝より今にいたるまで此にあり 其家にやすみし間は暫時のみ
8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth: 'Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.
ボアズ、ルツにいひけるは女子よ聽け 他の田に穗をひろひにゆくなかれ 又此よりいづるなかれわが婢等に離ずして此にをるべし
9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them; have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.'
人々の刈ところの田に目をとめてその後にしたがひゆけ 我 少者等に汝にさはるなかれと命ぜしにあらずや 汝渇く時は器の所にゆきて少者の汲るを飮めと
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed down to the ground, and said unto him: 'Why have I found favour in thy sight, that thou shouldest take cognizance of me, seeing I am a foreigner?'
彼すなはち伏して地に拜し之にいひけるは我 如何して汝の目の前に恩惠を得たるか なんぢ異邦人なる我を顧みると
11 And Boaz answered and said unto her: 'It hath fully been told me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people that thou knewest not heretofore.
ボアズこたへて彼にいひけるは汝が夫の死にたるより巳來姑に盡したる事汝がその父母および生れたる國を離れて見ず識ずの民に來りし事皆われに聞えたり
12 The LORD recompense thy work, and be thy reward complete from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.'
ねがはくはヱホバ汝の行爲に報いたまへ ねがはくはイスラエルの神ヱホバ即ち汝がその翼の下に身を寄んとて來れる者汝に十分の報施をたまはんことを
13 Then she said: 'Let me find favour in thy sight, my LORD; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, though I be not as one of thy handmaidens.'
彼いひけるは主よ我をして汝の目の前に恩をえせしめたまへ 我は汝の仕女の一人にも及ざるに汝かく我を慰め斯 仕女に懇切に語りたまふ
14 And Boaz said unto her at meal-time: 'Come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar.' And she sat beside the reapers; and they reached her parched corn, and she did eat and was satisfied, and left thereof.
ボアズかれにいひけるは食事の時は此にきたりてこのパンを食ひ且汝の食物をこの醋に濡せよと 彼すなはち刈者の傍に坐しければボアズ烘麥をかれに與ふ 彼くらひて飽き其 餘を懷む
15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying: 'Let her glean even among the sheaves, and put her not to shame.
かくて彼また穗をひろはんとて起あがりければボアズその少者に命じていふ 彼をして禾束の間にても穗をひろはしめよ かれを羞しむるなかれ
16 And also pull out some for her of purpose from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and rebuke her not.'
且手の穗を故に彼がために抽落しおきて彼に拾はしめよ 叱るなかれ
17 So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
彼かく薄暮まで田に穗を拾ひてその拾ひし者を撲しに大麥一斗許ありき
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.
彼すなはち之を携へて邑にいり姑にその拾ひし者を看せ且その飽きたる後に懷めおきたる者を取出して之にあたふ
19 And her mother-in-law said unto her: 'Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee.' And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said: 'The man's name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz.'
姑かれにいひけるは汝今日何處にて穗をひろひしや 何の處にて工作しや 願くは汝を眷顧たる者に福祉あれ 彼すなはち姑にその誰の所に工作しかを告げていふ 今日われに工作をなさしめたる人の名はボアズといふ
20 And Naomi said unto her daughter-in-law: 'Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off His kindness to the living and to the dead.' And Naomi said unto her: 'The man is nigh of kin unto us, one of our near kinsmen.'
ナオミ媳にいひけるは願はヱホバの恩かれに至れ 彼は生ける者と死る者とを棄ずして恩をほどこす ナオミまた彼にいひけるは其人は我等に縁ある者にして我等の贖業者の一人なり
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said: 'Yea, he said unto me: Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'
モアブの女ルツいひけるは彼また我にかたりて汝わが穫刈の盡く終るまでわが少者の傍をはなるるなかれといへりと
22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law: 'It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that thou be not met in any other field.'
ナオミその媳ルツにいひけるは女子よ汝かれの婢等とともに出るは善し 然れば他の田にて人に見らるることを免かれん
23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
是によりて彼ボアズの婢等の傍を離れずして穗をひろひ大麥刈と小麥刈の終にまでおよぶ 彼その姑とともにをる
