ルツ記 2
1 さてナオミには、夫エリメレクの一族で、非常に裕福なひとりの親戚があって、その名をボアズといった。
And [belonged] to Naomi (a relative *Q(K)*) of husband her a man mighty of wealth from [the] clan of Elimelech and name his [was] Boaz.
2 モアブの女ルツはナオミに言った、「どうぞ、わたしを畑に行かせてください。だれか親切な人が見当るならば、わたしはその方のあとについて落ち穂を拾います」。ナオミが彼女に「娘よ、行きなさい」と言ったので、
And she said Ruth the Moabite [woman] to Naomi let me go please the field (so I may glean *L(ah+b)*) (among the ears of grain *L(abh)*) behind [the one] whom I will find favor in view his and she said to her go O daughter my.
3 ルツは行って、刈る人たちのあとに従い、畑で落ち穂を拾ったが、彼女ははからずもエリメレクの一族であるボアズの畑の部分にきた。
And she went and she came and she gleaned in the field behind the harvesters and it chanced on chance her [the] portion of the field of Boaz who [was] from [the] clan of Elimelech.
4 その時ボアズは、ベツレヘムからきて、刈る者どもに言った、「主があなたがたと共におられますように」。彼らは答えた、「主があなたを祝福されますように」。
And there! Boaz [was] coming from Beth-lehem and he said to the harvesters Yahweh [be] with you and they said to him may he bless you Yahweh.
5 ボアズは刈る人たちを監督しているしもべに言った、「これはだれの娘ですか」。
And he said Boaz to servant his who was appointed over the harvesters [belongs] to whom? the young woman this.
6 刈る人たちを監督しているしもべは答えた、「あれはモアブの女で、モアブの地からナオミと一緒に帰ってきたのですが、
And he answered the servant who was appointed over the harvesters and he said [is] a young woman Moabite she who returned with Naomi from [the] region of Moab.
7 彼女は『どうぞ、わたしに、刈る人たちのあとについて、束のあいだで、落ち穂を拾い集めさせてください』と言いました。そして彼女は朝早くきて、今まで働いて、少しのあいだも休みませんでした」。
And she said let me glean please and I will gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters and she came and she has stayed from then this morning and until now this sitting she the house little.
8 ボアズはルツに言った、「娘よ、お聞きなさい。ほかの畑に穂を拾いに行ってはいけません。またここを去ってはなりません。わたしのところで働く女たちを離れないで、ここにいなさい。
And he said Boaz to Ruth ¿ not have you heard O daughter my may not you go to glean in a field another and also not you must pass on from this [field] and thus you will stay! with female servants my.
9 人々が刈りとっている畑に目をとめて、そのあとについて行きなさい。わたしは若者たちに命じて、あなたのじゃまをしないようにと、言っておいたではありませんか。あなたがかわく時には水がめのところへ行って、若者たちのくんだのを飲みなさい」。
Eyes your [be] on the field which they are harvesting! (and you will go *L(abh)*) behind them ¿ not have I commanded the young men to not to touch you and you will be thirsty and you will go to the vessels and you will drink some of [that] which they will draw! the young men.
10 彼女は地に伏して拝し、彼に言った、「どうしてあなたは、わたしのような外国人を顧みて、親切にしてくださるのですか」。
And she fell on face her and she bowed down [the] ground towards and she said to him why? have I found favor in view your to pay regard to me (and I *L(abh)*) [am] a foreigner.
11 ボアズは答えて彼女に言った、「あなたの夫が死んでこのかた、あなたがしゅうとめにつくしたこと、また自分の父母と生れた国を離れて、かつて知らなかった民のところにきたことは皆わたしに聞えました。
And he answered Boaz and he said to her certainly it has been told to me all that you have done with mother-in-law your after [the] death of husband your and you left (father your *L(abh)*) and mother your and [the] land of kindred your and you came to a people which not you knew yesterday three days ago.
12 どうぞ、主があなたのしたことに報いられるように。どうぞ、イスラエルの神、主、すなわちあなたがその翼の下に身を寄せようとしてきた主からじゅうぶんの報いを得られるように」。
May he reward Yahweh deed[s] your and may it be wage[s] your complete from with Yahweh [the] God of Israel whom you have come to take refuge under wings his.
13 彼女は言った、「わが主よ、まことにありがとうございます。わたしはあなたのはしためのひとりにも及ばないのに、あなたはこんなにわたしを慰め、はしためにねんごろに語られました」。
And she said I am finding favor in view your O lord my for you have comforted me and for you have spoken to [the] heart of maidservant your and I not I am like one of maidservants your.
14 食事の時、ボアズは彼女に言った、「ここへきて、パンを食べ、あなたの食べる物を酢に浸しなさい」。彼女が刈る人々のかたわらにすわったので、ボアズは焼麦を彼女に与えた。彼女は飽きるほど食べて残した。
And he said to her Boaz to [the] time of the meal approach here and you will eat some of the food and you will dip portion your in the vinegar and she sat down from [the] side of the harvesters and he held out to her roasted grain and she ate and she was satisfied and she had excess.
15 そして彼女がまた穂を拾おうと立ちあがったとき、ボアズは若者たちに命じて言った、「彼女には束の間でも穂を拾わせなさい。とがめてはならない。
And she arose to glean and he commanded Boaz servants his saying also between the sheaves she will glean and not you must humiliate her.
16 また彼女のために束からわざと抜き落しておいて拾わせなさい。しかってはならない」。
And also indeed you will pull out for her some of the bundles of grain and you will leave [them] and she will glean and not you must rebuke her.
17 こうして彼女は夕暮まで畑で落ち穂を拾った。そして拾った穂を打つと、大麦は一エパほどあった。
And she gleaned in the field until the evening and she beat out [that] which she had gleaned and it was about an ephah barley.
18 彼女はそれを携えて町にはいり、しゅうとめにその拾ったものを見せ、かつ食べ飽きて、残して持ちかえったものを取り出して与えた。
And she lifted [it] up and she went the city and she saw mother-in-law her [that] which she had gleaned and she took [it] out and she gave to her [that] which she had left over from abundance her.
19 しゅうとめは彼女に言った、「あなたは、きょう、どこで穂を拾いましたか。どこで働きましたか。あなたをそのように顧みてくださったかたに、どうか祝福があるように」。そこで彼女は自分がだれの所で働いたかを、しゅうとめに告げて、「わたしが、きょう働いたのはボアズという名の人の所です」と言った。
And she said to her mother-in-law her where? did you glean this day and where? did you work may he be [the one who] paid regard to you blessed and she told to mother-in-law her whom she had worked with him and she said [the] name of the man whom I worked with him this day [is] Boaz.
20 ナオミは嫁に言った、「生きている者をも、死んだ者をも、顧みて、いつくしみを賜わる主が、どうぞその人を祝福されますように」。ナオミはまた彼女に言った、「その人はわたしたちの縁者で、最も近い親戚のひとりです」。
And she said Naomi to daughter-in-law her [be] blessed he by Yahweh who not he has forsaken covenant loyalty his with the living and with the dead and she said to her Naomi [is] near to us the man [is] one of kinsman-redeemer[s] our he.
21 モアブの女ルツは言った、「その人はまたわたしに『あなたはわたしのところの刈入れが全部終るまで、わたしのしもべたちのそばについていなさい』と言いました」。
And she said Ruth the Moabite [woman] also - that he said to me with the servants who [belong] to me you will stay! until they have completed all the harvest which [belongs] to me.
22 ナオミは嫁ルツに言った、「娘よ、その人のところで働く女たちと一緒に出かけるのはけっこうです。そうすればほかの畑で人にいじめられるのを免れるでしょう」。
And she said Naomi to Ruth daughter-in-law her [is] good O daughter my that you will go out with female servants his and not people will molest you in a field another.
23 それで彼女はボアズのところで働く女たちのそばについていて穂を拾い、大麦刈と小麦刈の終るまでそうした。こうして彼女はしゅうとめと一緒に暮した。
And she stayed with [the] female servants of Boaz to glean until was complete [the] harvest of the barley and [the] harvest of the wheat and she dwelt with mother-in-law her.
