Ruth 2
1 Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Noemí tenía un pariente de su marido, un hombre poderoso y rico, de la familia de Elimelec, que se llamaba Booz.
2 Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor." She said 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 She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was 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 Look, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you." They answered him, "The LORD bless 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 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"
Entonces Booz dijo a su criado, que estaba al frente de los segadores: “¿De quién es esta joven?”
6 The servant who was set over the reapers answered, "It is the Moabite woman who came back with Naomi out of the country 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 She said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little in the house."
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 Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field, and do not go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
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 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven't I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn."
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 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?"
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 Boaz answered her, "It has fully been shown to me, all that you have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn't know 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 May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given you from the LORD, the 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 Then she said, "Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens."
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 At meal time Boaz said to her, "Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar." She sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it.
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 When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not humiliate her.
Cuando se levantó a espigar, Booz ordenó a sus criados, diciendo: “Dejadla espigar incluso entre las gavillas, y no la reprochéis.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her."
También saquen algo para ella de los manojos y déjenlo. Dejadla espigar, y no la reprendáis”.
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was 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 She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.
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 Her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you." She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I 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 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of the LORD, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead." Naomi said to her, "The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen."
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 said, "He even said to me, 'You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'"
Rut la moabita dijo: “Sí, él me dijo: “Te quedarás cerca de mis jóvenes hasta que terminen toda mi cosecha””.
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other 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 So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived 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.
