Rute 3
1 E disse-lhe Noemi, sua sogra: Minha filha, não hei de eu buscar descanço, para que fiques bem?
One day, Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, I think that I should [RHQ] try to arrange for you to have a husband [MTY] who will (take care of/provide for) you.
2 Ora pois, não é Boaz, com cujas moças estiveste, de nossa parentela? eis que esta noite padejará a cevada na eira.
Boaz, the man with whose [servant] girls you have been [gathering grain], is a close relative [of our dead husbands]. Listen [carefully]. Tonight he will be at the ground where [the barley has] been threshed. He will be separating the barley grain from the chaff.
3 Lava-te pois, e unge-te, e veste os teus vestidos, e desce á eira: porém não te dês a conhecer ao homem, até que tenha acabado de comer e beber.
Bathe yourself and put on some perfume. Put on your [best] clothes. Then go down to the ground where they have threshed [the grain]. But do not let Boaz know that you are there while he is eating [supper] and drinking.
4 E ha de ser que, quando elle se deitar, notarás o logar em que se deitar; então entra, e descobrir-lhe-has os pés, e te deitarás, e elle te fará saber o que deves fazer.
[When he has finished eating], notice where he lies down to sleep. Then [when he is asleep], take the blanket off his feet and lie [close to his feet]. [When he wakes up], he will tell you what to do.”
5 E ella lhe disse: Tudo quanto me disseres, farei.
Ruth replied, “I will do everything that you have told me [to do].”
6 Então foi para a eira, e fez conforme a tudo quanto sua sogra lhe tinha ordenado.
So she went down to the ground where they had threshed [the barley grain]. There she did everything that her mother-in-law had told her [to do].
7 Havendo pois Boaz comido e bebido, e estando já o seu coração alegre, veiu deitar-se ao pé de uma meda; então veiu ella de mansinho, e lhe descobriu os pés, e se deitou.
When Boaz finished eating [supper] and drinking [wine], he felt happy. Then he went over to the far end of the pile of grain. He lay down [and went to sleep]. Then Ruth approached him quietly. She took the blanket off his feet and lay down [there].
8 E succedeu que, pela meia noite, o homem estremeceu, e se voltou: e eis que uma mulher jazia a seus pés.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly awoke. He sat up and saw that a woman was lying at his feet.
9 E disse elle: Quem és tu? E ella disse: Sou Ruth, tua serva; estende pois tua aba sobre a tua serva, porque tu és o remidor.
He asked her, “Who are you?” She replied, “I am your servant, Ruth. Since you are the one who has a responsibility to take care of [someone like me whose dead husband was] your close relative, spread the corner of your cloak over my [feet to show that you will marry me].”
10 E disse elle: Bemdita sejas tu do Senhor, minha filha; melhor fizeste esta tua ultima beneficencia do que a primeira, pois após de nenhuns mancebos foste, quer pobres quer ricos.
Boaz replied, “Young lady, I hope that Yahweh will (bless/be kind to) you! You have acted kindly [toward your mother-in-law], and now you are acting even more kindly [toward me by wanting to marry me, instead of wanting to marry a young man]. You have not looked for either a rich young man or a poor young man, [to marry him].
11 Agora pois, minha filha, não temas; tudo quanto disseste te farei, pois toda a cidade do meu povo sabe que és mulher virtuosa.
Now, young lady, I will do everything you ask. Don’t worry [that people in this town might think I am doing wrong by marrying you because you are a woman from Moab]. All the people in this town know that you are an honorable woman.
12 Porém agora é muito verdade que eu sou remidor: mas ainda outro remidor ha mais chegado do que eu.
But [there is one problem]. Although it is true that I am a close relative [of your mother-in-law’s dead husband], there is another man who is a closer relative [than I am], and therefore he should be the one to [marry you and] take care of you.
13 Fica-te aqui esta noite, e será que, pela manhã, se elle te redimir, bem está, elle te redima; porém, se te não quizer redimir, vive o Senhor, que eu te redimirei: deita-te aqui até ámanhã.
You stay here for the rest of this night. Tomorrow morning [I will tell this man about you]. If he says that he will [marry you and] take care of you, fine, [we will] let him do that. But if he is not willing [to do that], I solemnly promise that as surely as Yahweh lives, I will [marry you and] take care of you. So lie/sleep here until it is morning.”
14 Ficou-se pois deitada a seus pés até pela manhã, e levantou-se antes que podesse um conhecer a outro, porquanto disse: Não se saiba que alguma mulher veiu á eira
So she lay at his feet until morning. But she got up and left before it was light enough that people would be able to recognize her, because Boaz said, “I do not want anyone to know that a woman was here.”
15 Disse mais: Dá cá o roupão que tens sobre ti, e tem mão n'elle. E ella teve mão n'elle; e elle mediu seis medidas de cevada, e lh'as poz em cima; então entrou na cidade,
He also said to her, “Bring to me your cloak and spread it out.” When she did that, he poured into it six measures/24 liters/50 pounds of barley, and put in on her back. Then he (OR, she) went back to the town.
16 E veiu á sua sogra, a qual disse: Quem és tu, minha filha? E ella lhe contou tudo quanto aquelle homem lhe fizera.
When Ruth arrived home, her mother-in-law asked her, “My daughter, how did (things go/Boaz act toward you)?” Then Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her [and said to her].
17 Disse mais: Estas seis medidas de cevada me deu, porque me disse: Não vás vazia a tua sogra.
She also said [to Naomi], “He gave me all this barley, saying ‘I do not want you to return to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
18 Então disse ella: Está quieta, minha filha, até que saibas como irá o caso, porque aquelle homem não descançará até que conclua hoje este negocio
Then Naomi said, “My daughter, just wait until we see what happens. [I am sure that] Boaz will take care of [LIT] the matter [of your marriage]. [LIT]”
