< 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.
Noemí tenía un pariente de su marido, un hombre poderoso y rico, de la familia de Elimelec, que se llamaba Booz.
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.”
Rut, la moabita, dijo a Noemí: “Déjame ir ahora al campo y espigar entre las espigas en pos de aquel a cuya vista encuentro gracia.” Le dijo: “Ve, hija mía”.
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.
Ella fue, y vino a espigar en el campo tras los segadores; y por casualidad llegó a la parte del campo que pertenecía a Booz, que era de la familia de Elimelec.
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.”
He aquí que Booz vino de Belén y dijo a los segadores: “Que Yahvé esté con vosotros”. Le respondieron: “Que Yahvé te bendiga”.
5 And Boaz says to his young man who is set over the reapers, “Whose [is] this young person?”
Entonces Booz dijo a su criado, que estaba al frente de los segadores: “¿De quién es esta joven?”
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,
El criado que estaba a cargo de los segadores respondió: “Es la dama moabita que regresó con Noemí del país de Moab.
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].”
Ella dijo: ‘Por favor, déjame espigar y recoger después de los segadores entre las gavillas’. Así que vino, y ha continuado desde la mañana hasta ahora, excepto que descansó un poco en la casa.”
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:
Entonces Booz dijo a Rut: “Escucha, hija mía. No vayas a espigar a otro campo, ni te vayas de aquí, sino que quédate aquí cerca de mis doncellas.
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.”
Pon tus ojos en el campo que cosechan, y ve tras ellas. ¿No he ordenado a los jóvenes que no te toquen? Cuando tengas sed, ve a las vasijas y bebe de lo que los jóvenes han sacado”.
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?”
Entonces ella se postró en el suelo y le dijo: “¿Por qué he hallado gracia ante tus ojos para que me conozcas, ya que soy extranjera?”
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.
Booz le respondió: “Me han contado todo lo que has hecho por tu suegra desde la muerte de tu marido, y cómo has dejado a tu padre, a tu madre y la tierra donde naciste, y has llegado a un pueblo que no conocías.
12 YHWH repays your work, and your reward is complete from YHWH, God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Que Yahvé te pague tu trabajo y te dé una recompensa completa de parte de Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, bajo cuyas alas has venido a refugiarte.”
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.”
Entonces ella dijo: “Halle yo gracia ante tus ojos, señor mío, porque me has consolado y porque has hablado con bondad a tu sierva, aunque no soy como una de tus siervas.”
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.
A la hora de comer, Booz le dijo: “Ven aquí, come un poco de pan y moja tu bocado en el vinagre”. Se sentó junto a los segadores, y éstos le pasaron el grano reseco. Ella comió, quedó satisfecha y dejó un poco.
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;
Cuando se levantó a espigar, Booz ordenó a sus criados, diciendo: “Dejadla espigar incluso entre las gavillas, y no la reprochéis.
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.”
También saquen algo para ella de los manojos y déjenlo. Dejadla espigar, y no la reprendáis”.
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;
Así que espigó en el campo hasta la noche; y sacó lo que había espigado, que era como un efa de cebada.
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.
Lo recogió y se fue a la ciudad. Entonces su suegra vio lo que había espigado, y sacó y le dio lo que le había sobrado.
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.”
Su suegra le dijo: “¿Dónde has espigado hoy? ¿Dónde has trabajado? Bendito sea el que se fijó en ti”. Le dijo a su suegra con quien había trabajado: “El nombre del hombre con quien he trabajado hoy es Booz”.
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.”
Noemí dijo a su nuera: “Que sea bendecido por Yahvé, que no ha abandonado su bondad con los vivos y con los muertos.” Noemí le dijo: “Ese hombre es un pariente cercano a nosotros, uno de nuestros parientes cercanos.”
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.”
Rut la moabita dijo: “Sí, él me dijo: “Te quedarás cerca de mis jóvenes hasta que terminen toda mi cosecha””.
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.”
Noemí dijo a Rut, su nuera: “Es bueno, hija mía, que salgas con sus doncellas y que no te encuentren en ningún otro campo.”
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.
Así que se quedó cerca de las doncellas de Booz, para espigar hasta el final de la cosecha de cebada y de trigo; y vivió con su suegra.
