Rutes 3
1 Un Naēmja, viņas vīramāte, uz viņu sacīja: mana meita, vai es tev lai nemeklēju dusas vietu, kur tev labi klājās.
A little later Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, don't you think I should find you a husband and a good home?
2 Nu tad, vai Boas, pie kura kalponēm tu esi turējusies, nav no mūsu tuviem radiem? Redzi, šo nakti viņš vētīs miežus klonā.
Don't ignore the fact that Boaz, whose women you worked with, is closely related to us. Now tonight he will be busy winnowing grain on the threshing floor.
3 Tad nu mazgājies un svaidies un apvelc savas drēbes un noej uz to klonu, un neparādies tam vīram, kamēr viņš beidzis ēst un dzert.
Have a bath, put on some perfume, wear your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor—but don't let him recognize you. Once he's finished eating and drinking,
4 Un kad viņš apguļas, tad ņem to vietu vērā, kur viņš apgulsies, un pieej un atsedz viņa kājgalu, un apgulies, tad viņš tev sacīs, kas tev būs jādara.
watch where he goes to lie down. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”
5 Un viņa uz to sacīja: visu, ko tu man esi sacījusi, to es darīšu.
“I'll do everything you told me,” said Ruth.
6 Tā viņa nogāja uz to klonu un darīja, tā kā viņas vīramāte viņai bija pavēlējusi.
She went down to the threshing floor and did what her mother-in-law had told her to do.
7 Kad nu Boas bija ēdis un dzēris, un viņa sirds bija līksma, tad viņš gāja apgulties aiz gubas. Tad viņa nāca klusiņām un atsedza viņa kājgalu un apgūlās.
After Boaz had finished eating and drinking, and was feeling contented, he went and lay down beside the grain pile. Ruth quietly approached him, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 Un nakts vidū tas vīrs izbijās, un palocījās, un redzi, viena sieviete gulēja viņam kājgalā.
Around midnight Boaz suddenly woke up. Bending forward he was surprised to see a woman lying at his feet.
9 Un viņš sacīja: kas tu esi? Un tā sacīja: es esmu Rute, tava kalpone, izplēt savus spārnus pār savu kalponi, jo tu esi tas tuvinieks.
“Who are you?” he asked. “I'm Ruth, your servant,” she replied. “Please spread the corner of your cloak over me, for you are my family redeemer.”
10 Un viņš sacīja: esi svētīta no Tā Kunga, mana meita! Šī tava pēdējā mīlība ir labāka, nekā tā pirmā, tāpēc ka tu neesi dzinusies pakaļ jaunekļiem, nedz bagātam, nedz nabagam.
“May the Lord bless you, my daughter,” he said. “You are showing even more loyalty and love to the family than before. You haven't gone looking for a younger man, of whatever social status.
11 Un nu, mana meita, nebīsties! Visu, ko tu esi sacījusi, es tev darīšu; jo visos manu ļaužu vārtos ir zināms, ka tu esi godīga sieva.
So don't worry, my daughter. I will do everything you ask—everyone in town knows you are a woman of good character.
12 Nu tas gan ir tiesa, ka esmu tuvinieks, bet tur ir vēl viens jo tuvāks nekā es.
However, even though I'm one of your family redeemers, there's one who is more closely related than I am.
13 Paliec šo nakti, un rītu, ja viņš tevi ņems, labi, lai viņš tevi ņem; bet ja viņam negribās tevi ņemt, tad es tevi apņemšu, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo. Guli līdz rītam.
Stay here tonight, and in the morning if he wants to redeem you, then fine, let him do it. But if he doesn't, then I promise you in the name of the living Lord, I will redeem you. Lie down here until morning.”
14 Tad tā apgūlās viņam kājgalā līdz rītam un uzcēlās, pirms viens otru varēja pazīt, jo viņš sacīja: lai netop zināms, ka sieviete ir klonā nākusi.
So Ruth lay at his feet until morning. Then she got up before it was light enough to recognize anyone because Boaz had told her, “No one must know that a woman came here to the threshing floor.”
15 Un viņš sacīja: dod šurp savu apsegu, kas tev ir klātu, un turi to; un viņa to turēja. Un viņš mēroja sešus mērus miežu un uzlika tos viņai, un gāja pilsētā.
He also told her, “Bring me the cloak you're wearing and hold it out.” So she held it out and he poured out six measures of barley into it. He helped her put it on her back and she went back to town.
16 Tad viņa nāca pie savas vīramātes, un tā sacīja: kā klājās, mana meita? Un tā viņai teica visu, ko tas vīrs viņai bija darījis.
Ruth went to her mother-in-law, who asked her, “How did it go for you, my daughter?” So Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her.
17 Viņa arī sacīja: šos sešus (mērus) miežu viņš man devis, jo viņš uz mani sacīja: tev tukšai nebūs nākt pie savas vīramātes.
“And he also gave me these six measures of barley,” she added. “He told me, ‘You mustn't go home to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
18 Tad viņa sacīja, paliec klusu, mana meita, kamēr tu zini, kā šī lieta izdosies, jo tas vīrs nedosies mierā, bet šo lietu šodien izvedīs galā.
Naomi said to Ruth, “Wait patiently, my daughter, until you find out how it all works out. Boaz won't rest until he has it settled today.”
