Книга Руфи 3
1 Рече же ей Ноемминь свекровь ея: дщи (моя), не поищу ли тебе покоя, да благо ти будет?
Naomi 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:
Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Look, he winnows barley tonight at the threshing 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:
Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, and put on your clothes, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished 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.
It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall do."
5 И рече Руфь к ней: вся елика речеши мне, сотворю.
She said to her, "All that you say I will do."
6 И иде на гумно, и сотвори по всему, елика заповеда ей свекровь ея.
She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told 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.
When Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came quietly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 И бысть в полунощи, ужасеся муж и возмятеся, и се, жена лежит у ног его:
It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned over; and look, 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.
He said, "Who are you?" She answered, "I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your handmaid; for you are a redeeming kinsman."
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:
He said, "Blessed are you by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, whether 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:
Now, my daughter, do not be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.
12 и ныне поистинне ужик есмь аз: но еще есть ужик ближший мене:
Now it is true that I am a redeeming kinsman; however there is a redeemer closer than I am.
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.
Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a redeemer, well; let him do the redeemer's part. But if he will not do the part of a redeemer for you, then I will do the part of a redeemer for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until 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.
She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing 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.
He said, "Bring the cloak that is on you, and hold it." She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he 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.
When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did it go, my daughter?" She 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.
She said, "He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said to me, 'Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"
18 Она же рече: седи, дщи, дондеже увеси, како падет слово: не умолчит бо муж, дондеже совершится слово днесь.
Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day."
