1 Cependant Noémi, sa belle-mère, lui dit: "Ma fille, je désire te procurer un foyer qui fasse ton bonheur.
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 Or Booz, avec les servantes duquel tu t’es trouvée, n’est-il pas notre parent? Eh bien! Cette nuit même il doit vanner les orges dans son 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 Tu auras soin de te laver, de te parfumer et de revêtir tes plus beaux habits; puis tu descendras à l’aire, mais tu ne te feras pas remarquer de cet homme, avant qu’il ait fini 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 Puis, quand il se sera couché, tu observeras l’endroit où il repose; tu iras découvrir le bas de sa couche et t’y étendras: lui-même, il t’indiquera alors ce que tu devras 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: "Tout ce que tu me recommandes, je l’exécuterai."
And she said to her all that (you are saying to me *Q(K)*) I will do.
6 Elle descendit à l’aire et fit ce que sa belle-mère lui avait recommandé.
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 fut d’humeur joyeuse; puis il alla se coucher au pied du monceau de blé. Et Ruth se glissa furtivement, découvrit le bas de sa couche et s’y étendit.
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 Il arriva qu’au milieu de la nuit cet homme eut un mouvement de frayeur et se réveilla en sursaut, et voilà 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 "Qui es-tu?" s’écria-t-il. Elle répondit: "Je suis Ruth, ta servante; daigne étendre le pan de ton manteau sur ta servante, car tu es un proche parent."
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 répliqua: "Que l’Eternel te bénisse, ma fille! Ce trait de générosité est encore plus méritoire de ta part que le précédent, puisque tu n’as pas voulu courir après les jeunes gens, riches ou pauvres.
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, sois sans crainte; tout ce que tu me demanderas, je le ferai pour toi, car tous les habitants de notre ville savent que tu es une vaillante femme.
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 Toutefois, s’il est vrai que je suis ton parent, il existe un parent plus direct 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 donc la nuit ici; demain matin, s’il consent à t’épouser, c’est bien, qu’il le fasse! Mais s’il s’y refuse, c’est moi qui t’épouserai, par le Dieu 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 demeura étendue au bas de sa couche jusqu’au lendemain matin; puis elle se releva avant l’heure où on peut se reconnaître les uns les autres "Car, disait-il, il ne faut pas qu’on sache que cette femme a pénétré 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 Booz dit encore: "Déploie le châle qui te couvre et tiens-le bien."; elle le lui tendit, et il y mit six mesures d’orge, l’en chargea et rentra en 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 Quant à Ruth, elle alla retrouver sa belle-mère, qui lui demanda: "Est-ce toi, ma fille?" Ruth lui raconta tout ce que l’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 "Voici, ajouta-t-elle, six mesures d’orge qu’il m’a données en me disant: Tu ne dois pas revenir les mains vides auprès de 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 Noémi répondit: "Demeure tranquille, ma fille, jusqu’à ce que tu saches quel sera le dénouement de l’affaire; assurément, cet homme ne se tiendra pour satisfait qu’il ne l’ait menée à bonne fin aujourd’hui même."
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.
