Rute 2
1 E tinha Noemi um parente de seu marido, homem valente e poderoso, da geração de Elimelech: e era o seu nome Boaz.
But there was a man related to Elimelech, a powerful man, and very wealthy, named Boaz.
2 E Ruth a moabita disse a Noemi: Deixa-me ir ao campo, e apanharei espigas após d'aquelle em cujos olhos eu achar graça. E ella lhe disse: Vae, minha filha.
And Ruth, the Moabite, said to her mother-in-law, “If you order, I will go into the field and gather the ears of grain which escape the reaping hand, wherever I will find favor with the father of a family, who will be compassionate to me.” She answered her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 Foi pois, e chegou, e apanhava espigas no campo após dos segadores: e caiu-lhe em sorte uma parte do campo de Boaz, que era da geração de Elimelech.
And so she went and gathered the ears of grain after the completion of the reaping. But it happened that this field was owned by Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
4 E eis que Boaz veiu de Beth-lehem, e disse aos segadores: O Senhor seja comvosco. E disseram-lhe elles: O Senhor te abençoe.
And behold, he came out of Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “The Lord be with you.” They answered him, “May the Lord bless you.”
5 Depois disse Boaz a seu moço, que estava posto sobre os segadores: De quem é esta moça?
And Boaz said to the young man who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”
6 E respondeu o moço, que estava posto sobre os segadores, e disse: Esta é a moça moabita que voltou com Noemi dos campos de Moab.
He answered him, “This is the Moabite woman, who came with Naomi, from the land of the Moabites,
7 Disse-me ella: Deixa-me colher espigas, e ajuntal-as entre as gavellas após dos segadores. Assim ella veiu, e desde pela manhã está aqui até agora, a não ser um pouco que esteve sentada em casa
and she asked to gather the remnants of the ears of grain, following the steps of the reapers, and from morning until now she has remained in the field, and, indeed, not for one moment has she returned home.”
8 Então disse Boaz a Ruth: Não ouves, filha minha? não vás colher a outro campo, nem tão pouco passes d'aqui: porém aqui te ajuntarás com as minhas moças.
And Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen to me, daughter. Do not go to gather in any other field, nor depart from this place, but join with my young women,
9 Os teus olhos estarão attentos no campo que segarem, e irás após d'ellas; não dei ordem aos moços, que te não toquem? tendo tu sede, vae aos vasos, e bebe do que os moços tirarem.
and follow where they reap. For I have given orders to my young men, so that no one is to harass you. And so, whenever you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from the waters that the young men also drink.”
10 Então ella caiu sobre o seu rosto, e se inclinou á terra: e disse-lhe: Porque achei graça em teus olhos, para que faças caso de mim, sendo eu uma estrangeira?
She, falling on her face and paying homage on the ground, said to him: “How did this happen to me, that I should find favor before your eyes, and that you would condescend to accept me, a foreign woman?”
11 E respondeu Boaz, e disse-lhe: Bem se me contou quanto fizeste a tua sogra, depois da morte de teu marido: e deixaste a teu pae e a tua mãe, e a terra onde nasceste, e vieste para um povo que d'antes não conheceste.
He answered her, “Everything has been reported to me, what things you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband, and how you left your parents, and the land in which you were born, and came to a people you did not know before.
12 O Senhor galardoe o teu feito: e seja cumprido o teu galardão do Senhor Deus de Israel, sob cujas azas te vieste abrigar.
May the Lord repay you for your work, and may you receive a full reward from the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you have come, and under whose wings you have taken refuge.”
13 E disse ella: Ache eu graça em teus olhos, senhor meu, pois me consolaste, e pois fallaste ao coração da tua serva, não sendo eu ainda como uma das tuas creadas.
She said, “I have found favor before your eyes, my lord, who has consoled me, and you have spoken to the heart of your handmaid, who is unlike one of your young women.”
14 E, sendo já horas de comer, disse-lhe Boaz: Achega-te aqui, e come do pão, e molha o teu bocado no vinagre. E ella se assentou ao lado dos segadores, e elle lhe deu do trigo tostado, e comeu, e se fartou, e ainda lhe sobejou.
And Boaz said to her, “When mealtime begins, come here, and eat bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” And so she sat beside the reapers, and she piled up parched grain for herself, and she ate and was satisfied, and carried off the leftovers.
15 E, levantando-se ella a colher, Boaz deu ordem aos seus moços, dizendo: Até entre as gavelas deixae-a colher, e não lh'o embaraceis.
And then she arose from there, so as to gather the ears of grain, according to the custom. But Boaz commanded his servants, saying, “If she is even willing to reap with you, do not prevent her,
16 E deixae cair alguns punhados, e deixae-os ficar, para que os colha, e não a reprehendaes.
and purposely let fall some from your bundles, and allow them to remain, so that she may gather without blushing, and let no one rebuke her gathering.”
17 E esteve ella apanhando n'aquelle campo até á tarde: e debulhou o que apanhou, e foi quasi um epha de cevada.
And so she gathered in the field until evening. And striking and threshing with a staff what she had gathered, she found about the measure of an ephah of barley, that is, three measures.
18 E tomou-o, e veiu á cidade; e viu sua sogra o que tinha apanhado: tambem tirou, e deu-lhe o que lhe sobejara depois de fartar-se.
Carrying this, she returned into the city and showed it to her mother-in-law. Moreover, she offered it to her and even gave her the leftovers of her food, with which she had been satisfied.
19 Então disse-lhe sua sogra: Onde colheste hoje, e onde trabalhaste? bemdito seja aquelle que te reconheceu. E relatou a sua sogra com quem tinha trabalhado, e disse: O nome do homem com quem hoje trabalhei é Boaz.
And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gathered today, and where have you found work? Blessed is he who took pity on you!” And she informed her with whom she had been working, and she said the man’s name, that he was called Boaz.
20 Então Noemi disse a sua nora: Bemdito seja do Senhor, que ainda não tem deixado a sua beneficencia nem para com os vivos nem para com os mortos. Disse-lhe mais Noemi: Este homem é nosso parente chegado, e um d'entre os nossos remidores.
Naomi answered her, “May he be blessed by the Lord, because the same kindness which he provided for the living, he also kept for the dead.” And again she said: “This man is our near relative.”
21 E disse Ruth, a moabita: Tambem ainda me disse: Com os moços que tenho te ajuntarás, até que acabem toda a sega que tenho.
And Ruth said, “He charged me with this also, that from now on I should join with his reapers until all the crop has been reaped.”
22 E disse Noemi a sua nora, Ruth: Melhor é, filha minha, que saias com as suas moças, para que n'outro campo não te encontrem.
And her mother-in-law said to her, “It is better, my daughter, to go out reaping with his young women, lest in a stranger’s field someone may confront you.”
23 Assim, ajuntou-se com as moças de Boaz, para colher até que a sega das cevadas e dos trigos se acabou; e ficou com a sua sogra.
And so, she joined with the young women of Boaz, and from then on reaped with them, until the barley and the wheat were stored in the barns.
