Книга Руфи 3
1 Рече же ей Ноемминь свекровь ея: дщи (моя), не поищу ли тебе покоя, да благо ти будет?
And she lodged with her mother-in-law: and Noemin her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
2 И ныне Вооз не ужик ли нам, идеже со отроковицами его была еси? Се, той веет на гумне ячмень сея нощи:
And now [is] not Booz our kinsman, with whose damsels you were? behold, he winnows barley this night in the floor.
3 ты же измыйся, и помасти лице твое, и облецыся в ризы твоя (светлыя), и изыди на гумно: не явися мужу, дондеже скончает ясти и пити:
But do you wash, and anoint yourself, and put your raiment upon you, and go up to the threshing floor: do not discover yourself to the man until he has done eating and drinking.
4 и будет внегда уснути ему, и познаеши место, где ляжет, тамо да внидеши, и открыеши у ног его, и ляжеши: и той повесть тебе, яже имаши творити.
And it shall come to pass when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he lies down, and shall come and lift up the covering of his feet, and shall lie down; and he shall tell you what you shall do.
5 И рече Руфь к ней: вся елика речеши мне, сотворю.
And Ruth said to her, All that you shall say, I will do.
6 И иде на гумно, и сотвори по всему, елика заповеда ей свекровь ея.
And she went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law enjoined her.
7 И яде Вооз и пи, и возблажа сердце его, и иде спати со страны стога: она же прииде втай, и откры яже у ног его, и ляже.
And Booz ate and drank, and his heart was glad, and he came to lie down by the side of the heap of corn; and she came secretly, and lifted up the covering of his feet.
8 И бысть в полунощи, ужасеся муж и возмятеся, и се, жена лежит у ног его:
And it came to pass at midnight that the man was amazed, and troubled, and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 и рече (ей Вооз): кто еси ты? Она же рече: аз есмь Руфь раба твоя, да возложиши крило твое на рабу твою, яко ужик ты еси.
And he said, Who are you? and she said, I am your handmaid Ruth; spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid, for you are a near relation.
10 И рече Вооз: благословена ты Господем Богом, дщи, яко разблажила еси милость твою последнюю паче первыя, еже не ити тебе вслед юнот, аще убог, аще богат:
And Booz said, Blessed [be] you of the Lord God, [my] daughter, for you have made your latter kindness greater than the former, in that you follow not after young men, whether [any be] poor or rich.
11 и ныне, дщи, не бойся: вся елика речеши, сотворю тебе: весть бо все племя людий моих, яко жена силы ты еси:
And now fear not, my daughter, whatever you shall say I will do to you; for all the tribe of my people knows that you are a virtuous woman.
12 и ныне поистинне ужик есмь аз: но еще есть ужик ближший мене:
And now I am truly akin to you; nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 прележи сию нощь, и будет заутра аще приимет тя, то благо: да поймет: аще ли не восхощет пояти тебе, то поиму тя аз, жив Господь: прележи до заутрия.
Lodge [here] for the night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will do the part of a kinsman to you, well—let him do it: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to you, I will do the kinsman's part to you, [as] the Lord lives; lie down till the morning.
14 И лежа у ног его до заутрия: она же воста, прежде неже познати мужу подруга своего. И рече Вооз: да не увестся, яко приходила жена на гумно.
And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before a man could know his neighbour; and Booz said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
15 И рече ей: принеси покрывало еже на тебе, и держи е. Она же держа е, и намери ей шесть мер ячменя, и заде ей: и иде во град.
And he said to her, Bring the apron that is upon you: and she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and put them upon her, and she went into the city.
16 И прииде Руфь ко свекрови своей. Она же рече ей: что есть, дщи? И поведа ей вся, елика сотвори ей муж.
And Ruth went in to her mother-in-law, and she said to her, [My] daughter! and [Ruth] told her all that the man had done to her.
17 И рече ей: шесть мер сих ячменя даде ми, глагола бо ко мне: да не идеши тща ко свекрови своей.
And she said to her, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Go not empty to your mother-in-law.
18 Она же рече: седи, дщи, дондеже увеси, како падет слово: не умолчит бо муж, дондеже совершится слово днесь.
And she said, Sit still, [my] daughter, until you shall know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.
