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.
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 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."
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 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.
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 Look, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "YHWH be with you." They answered him, "YHWH bless 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 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, "Whose young woman 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 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.
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 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."
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 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.
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 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."
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 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?"
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 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.
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 May YHWH repay your work, and a full reward be given you from YHWH, the 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 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."
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 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.
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 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.
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 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke 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 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.
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 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.
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 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."
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 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of YHWH, 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."
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, "He even said to me, 'You shall stay close to 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 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."
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 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.
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
