< Ruth 2 >

1 There was a man in Bethlehem who belonged to the clan of [Naomi’s dead husband], Elimelech. He was rich and well-known/influential. His name was Boaz.
Un Naēmjai bija radinieks no viņas vīra, varen turīgs vīrs no Elimeleka rada, un viņa vārds bija Boas.
2 [One day] Ruth said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the grain left behind by the workers.” Naomi replied, “Go ahead, my daughter.”
Tad Rute, tā Moabiešu sieva, sacīja uz Naēmju: ļauj man jel tīrumā iet, tad es vārpas aiz tā lasīšu, kura acīs es žēlastību atradīšu. Un tā uz viņu sacīja: ej, mana meita.
3 So Ruth went to the fields and began to pick up some of the left-over grain. And it happened that she was working in a field that belonged to Boaz, [the man] from the clan of [her dead father-in-law], Elimelech!
Tad viņa gāja un nāca un lasīja tīrumā aiz pļāvējiem. Un notikās, ka tas tīrums piederēja Boasam, kas bija no Elimeleka rada.
4 Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem. He greeted the men who were harvesting the grain, saying, “I want Yahweh to bless you!” They replied, “We want Yahweh to bless you, [too]!”
Un redzi, Boas nāca no Bētlemes un sacīja uz tiem pļāvējiem: Tas Kungs lai jums palīdz; un tie sacīja uz viņu: Tas Kungs lai tevi svētī.
5 Then Boaz saw Ruth, and asked the (foreman/man in charge of the other workmen), “Whose [daughter] is that young woman?”
Tad Boas sacīja uz savu puisi, kas bija celts pār pļāvējiem: kas tā tāda jauna sieviete?
6 The foreman replied, “She is the woman from Moab who returned from there with [her mother-in-law] Naomi.
Un tas puisis, kas bija celts pār pļāvējiem, atbildēja un sacīja: šī ir tā jaunā Moabiešu sieva, kas ar Naēmju ir atpakaļ griezusies no Moaba zemes.
7 She said to me, ‘Please let me walk behind the men who are harvesting the grain and pick up some of the grain they leave behind.’ [I gave her permission, and] she went into the field, and she has been working from this morning until now. The only time she did not work was when she rested for a short time in the shelter.”
Un tā sacīja: ļauj man jel (vārpas) lasīt un krāt kūlīšu starpā pļāvējiem pakaļ; tā viņa nākusi un palikusi agri no rīta līdz šim laikam, un viņa daudz nepaliek mājās.
8 So Boaz went over to Ruth and said to her, “Young lady, listen to me. Don’t go and pick up grain in another field. Do not go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.
Tad Boas sacīja uz Ruti: klausies mana meita, neej tu citā tīrumā lasīt, tev arī nebūs no šejienes aiziet, bet šeitan tev būs turēties pie manām kalponēm.
9 Watch where the men are harvesting, and follow along behind the [servant] girls. I will tell the men [who are working] not to touch/molest you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get some water to drink from the jars that the men have filled.”
Tavas acis lai skatās uz to tīrumu, ko tie pļaus, un tu staigā tiem pakaļ; es arī puišiem esmu pavēlējis, ka neviens lai tevi neaiztiek, un kad tev slāpst, tad ej pie traukiem un dzer no tā, ko puiši būs smēluši.
10 When he said that, she knelt down in front of him [in respect], with her face touching the ground. She exclaimed, “Why are you acting so kindly toward me, by paying attention to me? [I am not even a Jew; I am] a foreigner!”
Tad viņa metās uz savu vaigu un klanījās pie zemes un uz viņu sacīja: kāpēc es žēlastību esmu atradusi tavās acīs, ka tu mani uzlūko, un es tomēr esmu sveša?
11 Boaz replied, “People have told me all about what you have done for your mother-in-law. They told me that you left your parents and your homeland, and you came here to live among people whom you did not know before.
Un Boas atbildēja un uz viņu sacīja: man ir stāstīts viss, ko tu esi darījusi pie savas vīramātes pēc sava vīra miršanas, un ka tu esi atstājusi savu tēvu un savu māti un savu dzimtas zemi un gājusi pie ļaudīm, ko tu papriekš nepazini.
12 I hope/desire that Yahweh will repay you for what you have done. You have put yourself in the care of Yahweh, [like a little bird puts itself] under [its mother’s] wings [MET]. I desire that he will reward you very greatly.”
Lai Tas Kungs tev atmaksā, ko tu darījusi, un tava alga lai ir pilnīga no Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, apakš kura spārniem tu esi nākusi, patvērumu dabūt.
13 She replied, “Sir, I hope you will continue to act kindly toward me. You have comforted/encouraged me, even though I am lower in status than any of your servant girls.”
Un viņa sacīja: lai es žēlastību atrodu tavās acīs, mans kungs, jo tu mani esi iepriecinājis un savu kalponi mīlīgi uzrunājis, jebšu es neesmu kā viena no tavām kalponēm.
14 At mealtime, Boaz said to her, “Come over here. Take some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar [and eat it].” Then when she sat down with the men who had been harvesting, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all the grain she wanted, and had some left over.
Un Boas uz viņu sacīja: ap ēdamo laiku nāc šurp un ēd no maizes un iemērc savu kumosu skābumā. Tad viņa apsēdās pie tiem pļāvējiem, un viņai pasniedza ceptas vārpas, un tā ēda un paēda un viņai atlika.
15 As she stood up to start gathering grain [again], Boaz ordered his workers, “Even if she gathers some grain near the bundles of grain that have been cut, do not scold her.
Kad nu viņa cēlās atkal lasīt, tad Boas pavēlēja saviem puišiem un sacīja: lai viņa arī starp kūlīšiem lasa, un nedariet viņai kauna.
16 Instead, pull out some stalks of grain from the bundles, and leave them on the ground for her to pick up, and do not rebuke her.”
Izvelciet arīdzan priekš viņas no kūlīšiem un lai tur paliek, ka viņa to salasa, un nerājiet viņu.
17 So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. Then she (threshed/beat with a stick) the barley that she had gathered, [to separate the kernels from the stalks], and the barley filled a large basket.
Tā viņa lasīja pa tīrumu līdz vakaram un izkūla, ko viņa bija salasījusi, un tas bija kāda ēfa miežu.
18 She carried it back to town, and showed to her mother-in-law how much she had gathered. Ruth also showed to her the grain [that was left over after] she had eaten enough from [what Boaz had given her at lunchtime].
Un viņa to ņēma un nāca pilsētā, un viņas vīramāte redzēja, ko tā bija salasījusi. Tad viņa izvilka un viņai deva, kas viņai ēdot bija atlicis.
19 Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you gather grain today? In whose [field] did you work? [God will] surely bless the man who was kind to you.” Then Ruth told her about the man in whose field she had been working. She said, “The name of the man [who owns the field] where I worked today is Boaz.”
Tad viņas vīramāte uz viņu sacīja: kur tu šodien esi lasījusi un kur tu esi strādājusi? Svētīts lai ir, kas tevi uzlūkojis. Un viņa stāstīja savai vīramātei, pie kā tā bija strādājusi, un sacīja: tā vīra vārds, pie ka es šodien esmu strādājusi, ir Boas.
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will bless him! He has not stopped acting kindly toward [us, who are still] living, and to [our husbands] who have died.” Then she added, “That man is a close relative [of Elimelech]; he is one of those who has a responsibility to help those who are his relatives.”
Tad Naēmja sacīja uz savu vedeklu: svētīts lai tas ir no Tā Kunga, kas savu žēlastību nav atrāvis ne no dzīviem, ne no mirušiem. Un Naēmja uz viņu sacīja: tas vīrs mums ir rada, no mūsu tuviniekiem viņš ir.
21 Then Ruth said, “He also said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they have finished harvesting all my grain.’”
Tad Rute, tā Moabiešu sieva, sacīja: viņš arī uz mani sacīja: turies pie maniem ļaudīm, kamēr tie visu manu pļaušanu būs pabeiguši.
22 Naomi replied, “My daughter, it will be good for you to go [to his field] with his [servant] girls, because if you go to someone else’s field, someone might harm/molest you.”
Tad Naēmja sacīja uz savu vedeklu Ruti: tas ir labi, mana meita, ka tu ar viņa kalponēm izej, lai citā tīrumā tev nedara pāri.
23 So Ruth stayed close to Boaz’s [servant] girls [while she was working]. She gathered stalks of grain until the barley harvest and the wheat harvest were finished. During that time she lived with Naomi.
Tā viņa turējās pie Boasa kalponēm, lasīdama, kamēr miežu pļaušana un kviešu pļaušana bija pabeigta, un dzīvoja pie savas vīramātes.
