Ruth 3
1 And Naomi her mother-in-law saith to her, 'My daughter, do not I seek for thee rest, that it may be well with thee?
爰に姑ナオミ彼にいひけるは女子よ我汝の安身所を求めて汝を幸ならしむべきにあらずや
2 and now, is not Boaz of our acquaintance, with whose young women thou hast been? lo, he is winnowing the threshing-floor of barley to-night,
夫汝が偕にありし婢等を有る彼ボアズは我等の知己なるにあらずや 視よ彼は今夜 禾塲にて大麥を簸る
3 and thou hast bathed, and anointed thyself, and put thy garments upon thee, and gone down to the threshing-floor; let not thyself be known to the man till he complete to eat and to drink;
然ば汝の身を洗て膏をぬり衣服をまとひて禾塲に下り汝をその人にしらせずしてその食飮を終るを待て
4 and it cometh to pass when he lieth down, that thou hast known the place where he lieth down, and hast gone in, and uncovered his feet, and lain down, — and he doth declare to thee that which thou dost do.'
而て彼が臥す時に汝その臥す所を見とめおき入てその脚を掀開りて其處に臥せよ 彼なんぢの爲べきことを汝につげんと
5 And she saith unto her, 'All that thou sayest — I do.'
ルツ姑にいひけるは汝が我に言ところは我皆なすべしと
6 And she goeth down [to] the threshing-floor, and doth according to all that her mother-in-law commanded her
即ち禾塲に下り凡てその姑の命ぜし如くなせり
7 And Boaz eateth and drinketh, and his heart is glad; and he goeth in to lie down at the end of the heap; and she cometh in gently, and uncovereth his feet, and lieth down.
偖ボアズは食飮をなしてその心をたのしませ往て麥を積る所の傍に臥す 是に於て彼 潜にゆきその足を掀開て其處に臥す
8 And it cometh to pass, at the middle of the night, that the man trembleth, and turneth himself, and lo, a woman is lying at his feet.
夜半に及びて其人 畏懼をおこし起かへりて見るに一人の婦その足の方に臥ゐたれば
9 And he saith, 'Who [art] thou?' and she saith, 'I [am] Ruth thy handmaid, and thou hast spread thy skirt over thy handmaid, for thou [art] a redeemer.'
汝は誰なるやといふに婦こたへて我は汝の婢ルツなり 汝の裾をもて婢を覆ひたまへ 汝は贖業者なればなり
10 And he saith, 'Blessed [art] thou of Jehovah, my daughter; thou hast dealt more kindly at the latter end than at the beginning — not to go after the young men, either poor or rich.
ボアズいひけるは女子よ願くはヱホバの恩典なんぢにいたれ 汝の後の誠實は前のよりも勝る 其は汝貧きと富とを論ず少き人に從ふことをせざればなり
11 And now, my daughter, fear not, all that thou sayest I do to thee, for all the gate of my people doth know that thou [art] a virtuous woman.
されば女子よ懼る勿れ 汝が言ふところの事は皆われ汝のためになすべし 其はわが邑の人皆なんぢの賢き女なるをしればなり
12 And now, surely, true, that I [am] a redeemer, but also there is a redeemer nearer than I.
我はまことに贖業者なりと雖も我よりも近き贖業者あり
13 Lodge to night, and it hath been in the morning, if he doth redeem thee, well: he redeemeth; and if he delight not to redeem thee, then I have redeemed thee — I; Jehovah liveth! lie down till the morning.'
今夜は此に住宿れ 朝におよびて彼もし汝のために贖ふならば善し彼に贖はしめよ 然ど彼もし汝のために贖ふことを好まずばヱホバは活く我汝のために贖はん 朝まで此に臥せよと
14 And she lieth down at his feet till the morning, and riseth before one doth discern another; and he saith, 'Let it not be known that the woman hath come into the floor.'
ルツ朝までその足の方に臥て誰彼の辨がたき頃に起あがる ボアズ此女の禾塲に來りしことを人にしらしむべからずといへり
15 And he saith, 'Give the covering which [is] on thee, and keep hold on it;' and she keepeth hold on it, and he measureth six [measures] of barley, and layeth [it] on her; and he goeth into the city.
而していひけるは汝の著る袿衣を將きたりて其を開げよと 即ち開げければ大麥六升を量りて之に負せたり 斯して彼 邑にいたりぬ
16 And she cometh in unto her mother-in-law, and she saith, 'Who [art] thou, my daughter?' and she declareth to her all that the man hath done to her.
爰にルツその姑の許に至るに姑いふ 女子よ如何ありしやと 彼すなはち其人の己になしたる事をことごとく之につげて
17 And she saith, 'These six [measures] of barley he hath given to me, for he said, Thou dost not go in empty unto thy mother-in-law.'
而していひけるは彼 空手にて汝の姑の許に往くなかれといひて此六升の大麥を我にあたへたり
18 And she saith, 'Sit still, my daughter, till thou dost know how the matter falleth, for the man doth not rest except he hath completed the matter to-day.'
姑いひけるは女子よ坐して待ち事の如何になりゆくかを見よ 彼人今日その事を爲終ずば安んぜざるべければなり
