Ruth 2
1 And Naomi has an acquaintance of her husband’s, a man mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name [is] 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 says to Naomi, “Please let me go into the field, and I gather among the ears of grain after him in whose eyes I find grace”; and she says to 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 goes and comes and gathers in a field after the reapers, and her chance happens—the portion of the field is Boaz’s who [is] 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 has come from Beth-Lehem, and says to the reapers, “YHWH [is] with you”; and they say to him, “YHWH blesses you.”
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 And Boaz says to his young man who is set over the reapers, “Whose [is] this young person?”
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 young man who is set over the reapers answers and says, “A young woman—Moabitess—she [is], who came back with Naomi from the fields 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 says, Please let me glean and I have gathered among the sheaves after the reapers; and she comes and remains since the morning and until now; she sat in the house a little [while].”
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 And Boaz says to Ruth, “Have you not heard, my daughter? Do not go to glean in another field, and also, do not pass over from here, and thus you cleave to my young women:
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 your eyes [are] on the field which they reap, and you have gone after them; have I not charged the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty then you have gone to the vessels, and have drunk from that which the young men draw.”
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 And she falls on her face, and bows herself to the earth, and says to him, “Why have I found grace in your eyes, to discern me, and I a stranger?”
彼すなはち伏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 answers and says to her, “It has been thoroughly declared to me all that you have done with your mother-in-law, after the death of your husband, and you leave your father, and your mother, and the land of your birth, and come to a people which you have not known before.
ボアズこたへて彼にいひけるは汝が夫の死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 YHWH repays your work, and your reward is complete from YHWH, God of Israel, under whose wings you have 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 And she says, “Let me find grace in your eyes, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken to the heart of your maidservant, and I am not as one of your maidservants.”
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 says to her, “At meal-time come near here, and you have eaten of the bread, and dipped your morsel in the vinegar.” And she sits at the side of the reapers, and he reaches to her roasted grain, and she eats, and is satisfied, and leaves.
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 she rises to glean, and Boaz charges his young men, saying, “Even between the sheaves she gleans, and you do not cause her to blush;
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 you surely cast to her of the handfuls—and have left, and she has gleaned, and you do not push against her.”
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 And she gleans in the field until the evening, and beats out that which she has gleaned, and it is about an ephah of barley;
彼かく薄暮まで田に穗をひろひてその拾ひし者を撲しに大麥一斗許ありき
18 and she takes [it] up, and goes into the city, and her mother-in-law sees that which she has gleaned, and she brings out and gives to her that which she left from her satiety.
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 says to her, “Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? May he who is discerning you be blessed.” And she declares to her mother-in-law with whom she has worked, and says, “The name of the man with whom I have worked today [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 says to her daughter-in-law, “Blessed [is] he of YHWH who has not forsaken His kindness with the living and with the dead”; and Naomi says to her, “The man is a relation of ours; he [is] of our redeemers.”
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 says, “Also he surely said to me, Near the young people whom I have you cleave until they have completed the whole of the harvest which I have.”
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 says to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “Good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and they do not come against you in another 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 And she cleaves to the young women of Boaz to glean, until the completion of the barley-harvest, and of the wheat-harvest, and she dwells 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
