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.
2 Et maintenant, Booz, avec les servantes duquel tu as été, n’est-il pas notre parent? Voici qu’il doit vanner cette nuit l’orge qui est dans l’aire.
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.
3 Lave-toi et oins-toi, mets tes plus beaux vêtements, et descends vers l’aire. Ne te laisse pas apercevoir de lui, jusqu’à ce qu’il ait achevé de manger et de boire.
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.
4 Et quand il ira se coucher, observe le lieu où il se couche; puis entre, soulève la couverture de ses pieds et couche-toi; lui-même te dira ce que tu as à faire. »
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)*)
5 Elle lui répondit: « Je ferai tout ce que tu me dis. »
And she said to her all that (you are saying to me *Q(K)*) I will do.
6 Elle descendit dans l’aire et fit tout ce que lui avait ordonné sa belle-mère.
And she went down the threshing floor and she did according to all that she had commanded her mother-in-law her.
7 Booz mangea et but, et son cœur fut joyeux. Il alla se coucher à l’extrémité du tas de gerbes; alors Ruth s’approcha doucement, découvrit ses pieds et se coucha.
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.
8 Au milieu de la nuit, cet homme eut une frayeur; il se pencha et, voici qu’une femme était couchée à ses pieds.
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.
9 Il dit: « Qui es-tu? ». Elle répondit: « Je suis Ruth, ta servante; étends sur ta servante le pan de ton manteau, car tu as droit de rachat. »
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.
10 Il dit: « Bénie sois-tu de Yahweh, ma fille! Ton dernier amour surpasse le premier, car tu n’as pas recherché des jeunes gens, pauvres ou riches.
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.
11 Maintenant, ma fille, ne crains point; tout ce que tu diras, je le ferai pour toi; car tout le peuple de Bethléem sait que tu es une femme vertueuse.
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.
12 Maintenant. c’est en vérité que j’ai un droit de rachat, mais il y en a un autre plus proche que moi.
And therefore for truly that (*Q(K)*) [am] a kinsman-redeemer I and also there [is] a kinsman-redeemer near more than I.
13 Passe ici la nuit; et demain, s’il veut te racheter, c’est bien, qu’il te rachète; mais s’il ne veut pas te racheter, je te rachèterai, moi. Yahweh est vivant! Reste couchée jusqu’au matin! »
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.
14 Elle resta donc couchée à ses pieds jusqu’au matin, et elle se leva avant qu’un homme pût en reconnaître un autre. Booz dit: « Qu’on ne sache pas que cette femme est entrée dans l’aire. »
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.
15 Et il ajouta: « Donne le manteau qui est sur toi, et tiens-le. » Elle le tint: et il mesura six mesures d’orge, qu’il chargea sur elle; puis il rentra dans la ville.
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.
16 Ruth étant revenue auprès de sa belle-mère, Noémi lui dit: « Qu’as-tu fait, ma fille? » Ruth lui raconta tout ce que cet homme avait fait pour elle:
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.
17 « Il m’a donné, ajouta-t-elle, ces six mesures d’orge, en me disant: Tu ne retourneras pas les mains vides chez ta belle-mère. »
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.
18 Et Noémi dit: « Reste ici, ma fille, jusqu’à ce que tu saches comment finira l’affaire; car cet homme ne se donnera pas de repos qu’il n’ait terminé cette affaire aujourd’hui. »
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.
