Ruth 3
1 And she said to her Naomi mother-in-law her O daughter my ¿ not will I seek for you a resting place that it will go well for you.
Forsothe aftir that Ruth turnede ayen to hir modir in lawe, Ruth herde of hir, My douytir, Y schal seke reste to thee, and Y schal purueye that it be wel to thee.
2 And therefore ¿ not [is] Boaz relative our whom you were with female servants his there! he [will be] winnowing [the] threshing floor of the barley this night.
This Booz, to whose damesels thou were ioyned in the feeld, is oure kynesman, and in this niyt he wyndewith the corn floor of barli.
3 And you will wash - and you will anoint yourself and you will put (garments your *Q(K)*) on yourself (and you will go down *Q(K)*) the threshing floor may not you make yourself known to the man until finishes he to eat and to drink.
Therfor be thou waischun, and anoyntid, and be thou clothid with onestere clothis, and go doun in to the corn floor; the man, `that is, Booz, se not thee, til he haue endid the mete and drynke.
4 And let it be when lies down he and you will take note of the place where he will lie down there and you will go and you will uncover feet his (and you will lie down *Q(k)*) and he he will tell to you [that] which (you will do! *L(abh)*)
Forsothe whanne he goth to slepe, marke thou the place `in which he slepith; and thou schalt come and vnhile the cloth, `with which he is hilid, fro the part of the feet, and thou schalt caste thee doun, and thou schalt ly there. Forsothe he schal seie to thee, what thou `owist to do.
5 And she said to her all that (you are saying to me *Q(K)*) I will do.
Which answeride, What euer thing thou comaundist, Y schal do.
6 And she went down the threshing floor and she did according to all that she had commanded her mother-in-law her.
And sche yede doun in to the corn floor, and dide alle thingis whiche hir modir in lawe comaundide to hir.
7 And he ate Boaz and he drank and it was good heart his and he went to lie down at [the] end of the heap and she came in secrecy and she uncovered feet his and she lay down.
And whanne Booz hadde ete and drunke, and was maad gladere, and hadde go to slepe bisidis the `heep of handfuls, sche cam, and hidde hir silf; and whanne the cloth was vnhilid fro `hise feet, sche castide doun hir silf.
8 And it was in [the] middle of the night and he trembled the man and he twisted and there! a woman [was] lying down feet his.
And lo! now at mydnyyt `the man dredde, and was troblid; and he siy a womman lyggynge at hise feet;
9 And he said who? [are] you and she said I [am] Ruth maidservant your and you will spread out skirt your over maidservant your for [are] a kinsman-redeemer you.
and he seide to hir, Who art thou? Sche answeride, Y am Ruth, thin handmayde; stretche forth thi cloth on thi seruauntesse, for thou art nyy of kyn.
10 And he said [be] blessed you by Yahweh O daughter my you have made good loyalty your latter more than former to not to go after the young men whether poor and or rich.
And he seide, Douytir, thou art blessid of the Lord, and thou hast ouercome the formere mercy with the lattere; for thou `suedist not yonge men, pore ethir riche.
11 And therefore O daughter my may not you fear all that you are saying I will do for you for [is] knowing all [the] gate of people my that [are] a woman of ability you.
Therfor `nyle thou drede, but what euer thing thou schalt seie to me, Y schal do to thee; for al the puple that dwellith with ynne the yatis of my cytee woot, that thou art a womman of vertu.
12 And therefore for truly that (*Q(K)*) [am] a kinsman-redeemer I and also there [is] a kinsman-redeemer near more than I.
And Y forsake not, that Y am of nyy kyn, but another man is neer than Y;
13 Stay - this night and it will be in the morning if he will redeem you good let him redeem and if not he will be willing to redeem you and I will redeem you I [by] [the] life of Yahweh lie down until the morning.
reste thou in this nyyt, and whanne the morewtid is maad, if he wole holde thee bi riyt of nyy kyn, the thing is wel doon; forsothe if he nyle, Y schal take thee with outen ony doute, the Lord lyueth, `that is, bi the Lord lyuynge; slepe thou til the morewtid.
14 And she lay down (feet his *Q(K)*) until the morning and she arose (before *Q(K)*) he recognized anyone neighbor his and he said may not it be known that she came the woman the threshing floor.
Therfore sche slepte at `hise feet til to the goyng awey of nyyt, and so sche roos bifor that men knewen `hem silf togidere. And Booz seide to hir, Be thou war lest ony man knowe, that thou camest hidir.
15 And he said give the shawl which [is] on you and take hold on it and she took hold on it and he measured out six barley and he put [it] on her and he came the city.
And eft he seide, Stretche forth thi mentil `with which thou `art hilid, and holde thou with euer either hond. And while sche stretchide forth and helde, he mete sixe buyschels of barly, and `puttide on hir; and sche bar, and entride in to the citee,
16 And she came to mother-in-law her and she said who? [are] you O daughter my and she told to her all that he had done for her the man.
and cam to hir modir in lawe. Which seide to Ruth, What hast thou do, douyter? And Ruth telde to hir alle thingis, whyche `the man hadde do to hir.
17 And she said [the] six the barley these he gave to me for (he said to me *Q(K)*) may not you go empty to mother-in-law your.
And Ruth seide, Lo! he yaf to me sixe buyschels of barly; and he seide, Y nyle that thou turne ayen voide to thi modir in lawe.
18 And she said sit down O daughter my until that you will know! how? will it fall out a matter for not he will be at peace the man that except he has finished the matter this day.
And Noemy seide, Abide, douytir, til we sien what issu the thing schal haue; for the man schal not ceesse, no but he fille tho thingis whiche he spak.
