Книга Руфи 3
1 Рече же ей Ноемминь свекровь ея: дщи (моя), не поищу ли тебе покоя, да благо ти будет?
Then Naomi her mother in law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
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 Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
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:
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go down to the floor: but make not thyself known to the man, until he shall have 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.
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 И рече Руфь к ней: вся елика речеши мне, сотворю.
And she said to her, All that thou sayest to me I will do.
6 И иде на гумно, и сотвори по всему, елика заповеда ей свекровь ея.
And she went down to the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade 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 when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid herself down.
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 afraid, and turned himself: 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 art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou art 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:
And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou didst not 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:
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.
12 и ныне поистинне ужик есмь аз: но еще есть ужик ближший мене:
And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: yet 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.
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform to thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: 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.
And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came to 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.
Also he said, Bring the veil that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on 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 when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And 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.
And she said, These six measures of barley he gave me; for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother in law.
18 Она же рече: седи, дщи, дондеже увеси, како падет слово: не умолчит бо муж, дондеже совершится слово днесь.
Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou knowest how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he hath finished the thing this day.
