Ruth 2
1 Now, Naomi, had an acquaintance of her husband’s, a man of great integrity, of the family of Elimelech, —whose 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 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi—Let me go, I pray thee, to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose eyes I may find favour. And 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 So she went her way, and came, and gleaned in the field, after the reapers, —and it happened to her, to light upon the portion of field-land 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 And lo! Boaz coming from Bethlehem, and he said to the reapers, Yahweh, be with you! and they said to him, Yahweh bless thee!
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 said Boaz to his young man, that was set over the reapers, —Whose is this maiden?
Entonces Booz dijo a su criado, que estaba al frente de los segadores: “¿De quién es esta joven?”
6 And the young man that was set over the reapers answered and said, —The Moabitish maiden, is she 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 and she said—Let me glean, I pray thee, and gather among the sheaves, after the reapers; so she came in, and hath continued from that time, all the morning until just now, and hath not rested in the house, for a little.
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 said unto Ruth—Hearest thou not, my daughter? Do not go to glean in any other field, neither indeed shalt thou pass on, from hence, —but, here, shalt thou keep fast by 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 thine eyes, be on the field which they shall reap, and go thou after them, Have I not commanded the young men, that they touch thee not? And, when thou art athirst, then go unto the vessels, and drink of what the young men shall 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 Then she fell upon her face, and bowed herself to the ground, —and said unto him—Wherefore have I found favour in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take notice of me, seeing that, I, am, 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 answered, and said to her, It hath 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 come unto a people whom thou knewest not, aforetime.
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 Yahweh recompense thy deed, —and let thy reward be full from Yahweh, the God of Israel, unto whom thou hast come to take refuge under his wings.
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 said—Let me find favour in thine eyes, my lord, for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken unto the heart of thy handmaid, —though, I, be not as, one of thine own 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 And Boaz said to her at mealtime—Draw nigh hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat beside the reapers, and there was reached to her parched corn, and she did eat and was satisfied, and left thereof remaining.
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, when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying—Even between the sheaves, let her glean, and reproach her not;
Cuando se levantó a espigar, Booz ordenó a sus criados, diciendo: “Dejadla espigar incluso entre las gavillas, y no la reprochéis.
16 yea moreover, draw out, for her, from the bundles, —and leave behind that she may glean it, and rebuke her not.
También saquen algo para ella de los manojos y déjenlo. Dejadla espigar, y no la reprendáis”.
17 So she gleaned in the field, until the evening, —and beat out that which she had gleaned, and there 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 And she took it up, and came into the city, and, when her mother-in-law had seen what she had gleaned, she brought forth and gave her what had been left remaining, after that she was satisfied.
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 said to her—In what place hast thou gleaned, today? and where hast thou wrought? May he that took notice of thee, be blessed! So she told her mother-in-law, with whom she had wrought, and said—The name of the man with whom I wrought 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 Then said Naomi, to her daughter-in-law—Blessed, be he of Yahweh, who hath not left off his lovingkindness to the living, and to the dead. And Naomi said to her—Near to us, is the man, of our own kinsmen, is he!
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, —Yea for he said unto me—By my young men, shalt thou keep fast, 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 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, —Good, is it, my daughter, that thou go forth with his maidens, and that they meet thee not, 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 kept fast by the maidens of Boaz, to glean, until the end of the barley harvest, and the wheat harvest, —and dwelt 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.
