Книга Руфи 2
1 И бе муж знаемый мужу Ноемминю: муж же силен от рода Елимелехова, имя же ему Вооз.
Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
2 И рече Руфь Моавитиня к Ноеммини: да иду убо на ниву и соберу класы вследствующи, идеже аще обрящу благодать пред очима его. Рече же ей: иди, дщи (моя).
Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean amongst the ears of grain after him in whose sight I find favour.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 И иде, и пришедши собираше на ниве вследствующи жателем: и прииде по случаю в часть нивы Воозовы, иже от сродства Елимелехова.
She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 И се, Вооз прииде от Вифлеема и рече жнущым: Господь с вами. И реша ему: да благословит тя Господь.
Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the LORD be with you.” They answered him, “May the LORD bless you.”
5 И рече Вооз отроку своему стоящему над жатели: чия отроковица сия?
Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
6 И отвеща отрок стояй над жнущими, и рече: отроковица Моавитиня есть, пришедшая с Ноемминою от села Моавля:
The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
7 и рече: да соберу ныне и сложу в снопех по следу жнущих: и прииде, и ста от утра даже и до вечера, и ни мало почи на ниве.
She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers amongst the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”
8 И рече Вооз к Руфе: слыши, дщи, не ходи собирати на ниву ину, и ты да не отидеши отсюду: но зде прилепися ко отроковицам моим,
Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
9 и очи твои да будут на ниве, идеже жнут, и да ходиши вслед их: се, заповедах отроком не коснутися тебе: и егда возжаждеши, и да идеши к сосудом, и пиеши отнюдуже черплют отроцы.
Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”
10 И паде (отроковица) ниц и поклонися до земли, и рече ему: что яко обретох благодать пред очима твоима, еже познати мя, аз же есмь странна?
Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favour in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”
11 И отвеща Вооз и рече к ней: возвещением возвестися мне, елика сотворила еси со свекровию твоею по умертвии мужа твоего, и како оставила еси отца твоего и матерь твою и землю рождения твоего, и пришла еси в люди, ихже не ведала от вчера и третияго дне:
Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.
12 да воздаст Господь дело твое, и да будет мзда твоя исполнь от Господа Бога Израилева, к Немуже пришла еси уповати под крилома Его.
May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
13 Она же рече: обретох благодать пред очима твоима, господине мой, яко утешил мя еси, и яко глаголал еси в сердце рабы твоея, и се, аз буду яко едина от рабынь твоих.
Then she said, “Let me find favour in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not as one of your servants.”
14 И рече ей Вооз: уже час ясти, приближися убо семо, да яси хлеб мой, и омочи укрух твой во оцет. И сяде Руфь от страны жателей: и подаде ей Вооз пряжмо, и яде и насытися, и оста:
At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.
15 и воста собирати. И заповеда Вооз отроком своим, глаголя: среде снопов да собирает, и не посрамите ю:
When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even amongst the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.
16 и носяще носите ей, и отлагающе отлагайте ей от снопов, и оставите ю собирати и ясти, и не возбраните ей.
Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
17 И собира до вечера на ниве, и измлати еже собра, и бысть яко ифи мера ячменя:
So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an efah of barley.
18 и взя, и прииде во град. И виде свекровь ея еже собра: и иземши Руфь от недр своих, даде свекрови своей, еже оставила, от нихже насытися.
She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.
19 И рече к ней свекровь ея: где еси собирала днесь, и где работала? Да будет благословен познавый тя. И поведа Руфь свекрови своей, где работала, и рече: имя мужу Вооз, у негоже работах днесь.
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
20 Рече же Ноемминь снохе своей: благословен есть Господем, яко не остави милости своея с живыми и со умершими. И рече ей Ноемминь: ужик есть нам муж той, и есть от ужик наших.
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”
21 И рече Руфь ко свекрови своей: и мне убо рече: ко отроковицам моим пристани, дондеже скончают всю жатву, яже есть мне.
Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
22 И рече Ноемминь к Руфе снохе своей: благо, дщи, яко ходила еси со отроковицами его, и не сопротивятся тебе на иней ниве.
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”
23 И приста Руфь ко отроковицам Воозовым собирати (класы), дондеже скончася жатва ячменя и пшеницы: и седе со свекровию своею.
So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
