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, should I not seek a place for you to rest, so that things may go well for you?
2 И ныне Вооз не ужик ли нам, идеже со отроковицами его была еси? Се, той веет на гумне ячмень сея нощи:
Now Boaz, the man whose young female workers you have been with, is he not our kinsman? Look, he will be winnowing 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, put on your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor. But do not make yourself known to the man until he finishes 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.
But when he lies down, take notice of the place where he lies down so that later you can go to him, uncover his feet, and lie down there. Then he will tell you what to do.”
5 И рече Руфь к ней: вся елика речеши мне, сотворю.
Ruth said to Naomi, “I will do everything you say.”
6 И иде на гумно, и сотвори по всему, елика заповеда ей свекровь ея.
So she went down to the threshing floor, and she followed the instructions her mother-in-law had given 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 drunk and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the pile of grain. Then she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 И бысть в полунощи, ужасеся муж и возмятеся, и се, жена лежит у ног его:
It came about at midnight that the man was startled. He turned over, and right there a woman was lying 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 female servant. Spread your cloak over your female servant, for you are a near 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:
Boaz said, “My daughter, may you be blessed by Yahweh. You have showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you have not gone after any of the 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 for you all that you say, because all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
12 и ныне поистинне ужик есмь аз: но еще есть ужик ближший мене:
It is true that I am a kinsman, but 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.
Stay here tonight, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the duty of a kinsman, good, let him do the kinsman's duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do it, by the life of Yahweh. 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.
So she lay at his feet until the morning. But she rose up before anyone could recognize another person. For Boaz had 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.
Then Boaz said, “Bring your shawl and hold it out.” When she did so, he measured six large measures of barley into it and put the load on her. Then 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 Ruth came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did you do, my daughter?” Then Ruth told her all that the man had done for her.
17 И рече ей: шесть мер сих ячменя даде ми, глагола бо ко мне: да не идеши тща ко свекрови своей.
She said, “These six measures of barley are what he gave me, for he said, 'Do not go 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.
Then Naomi said, “Stay here, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out, for the man will not rest until he has finished this thing today.”
