Rut 2
1 Noemí tenía un pariente de su marido, un hombre poderoso y rico, de la familia de Elimelec, que se llamaba Booz.
And Noemin had [a friend] an acquaintance of her husband, and the man [was] a mighty man of the kindred of Elimelech, and his name [was] Booz.
2 Rut, la moabita, dijo a Noemí: “Déjame ir ahora al campo y espigar entre las espigas en pos de aquel a cuya vista encuentro gracia.” Le dijo: “Ve, hija mía”.
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Noemin, Let me go now to the field, and I will glean among the ears behind the man with whoever I shall find favor: and she said to her, Go, daughter.
3 Ella fue, y vino a espigar en el campo tras los segadores; y por casualidad llegó a la parte del campo que pertenecía a Booz, que era de la familia de Elimelec.
And she went; and came and gleaned in the field behind the reapers; and she happened by chance to come on a portion of the land of Booz, of the kindred of Elimelech.
4 He aquí que Booz vino de Belén y dijo a los segadores: “Que Yahvé esté con vosotros”. Le respondieron: “Que Yahvé te bendiga”.
And, behold, Booz came from Bethleem, and said to the reapers, The Lord [be] with you: and they said to him, The Lord bless you.
5 Entonces Booz dijo a su criado, que estaba al frente de los segadores: “¿De quién es esta joven?”
And Booz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose [is] this damsel?
6 El criado que estaba a cargo de los segadores respondió: “Es la dama moabita que regresó con Noemí del país de Moab.
And his servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel who returned with Noemin out of the land of Moab.
7 Ella dijo: ‘Por favor, déjame espigar y recoger después de los segadores entre las gavillas’. Así que vino, y ha continuado desde la mañana hasta ahora, excepto que descansó un poco en la casa.”
And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers: and she came and stood from morning till evening, and rested not [even] a little in the field.
8 Entonces Booz dijo a Rut: “Escucha, hija mía. No vayas a espigar a otro campo, ni te vayas de aquí, sino que quédate aquí cerca de mis doncellas.
And Booz said to Ruth, Hast you not heard, [my] daughter? go not to glean in another field; and depart not you hence, join yourself here with my damsels.
9 Pon tus ojos en el campo que cosechan, y ve tras ellas. ¿No he ordenado a los jóvenes que no te toquen? Cuando tengas sed, ve a las vasijas y bebe de lo que los jóvenes han sacado”.
[Let] your eyes [be] on the field where [my men] shall reap, and you shall go after them: behold, I have charged the young men not to touch you: and when you shall thirst, then you shall go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men shall have drawn.
10 Entonces ella se postró en el suelo y le dijo: “¿Por qué he hallado gracia ante tus ojos para que me conozcas, ya que soy extranjera?”
And she fell upon her face, and did reverence to the ground, and said to him, How is it that I have found grace in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, whereas I am a stranger?
11 Booz le respondió: “Me han contado todo lo que has hecho por tu suegra desde la muerte de tu marido, y cómo has dejado a tu padre, a tu madre y la tierra donde naciste, y has llegado a un pueblo que no conocías.
And Booz answered and said to her, It has fully been told me how you have dealt with your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; and how you did leave your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and came to a people whom you knew not before.
12 Que Yahvé te pague tu trabajo y te dé una recompensa completa de parte de Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, bajo cuyas alas has venido a refugiarte.”
The Lord recompense your work; may a full reward be given you of the Lord God of Israel, to whom you have come to trust under his wings.
13 Entonces ella dijo: “Halle yo gracia ante tus ojos, señor mío, porque me has consolado y porque has hablado con bondad a tu sierva, aunque no soy como una de tus siervas.”
And she said, Let me find grace in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, and behold, I shall be as one of your servants.
14 A la hora de comer, Booz le dijo: “Ven aquí, come un poco de pan y moja tu bocado en el vinagre”. Se sentó junto a los segadores, y éstos le pasaron el grano reseco. Ella comió, quedó satisfecha y dejó un poco.
And Booz said to her, Now [it is] time to eat; come here, and you shall eat of the bread, and you shall dip your morsel in the vinegar: and Ruth sat by the side of the reapers: and Booz handed her meal, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.
15 Cuando se levantó a espigar, Booz ordenó a sus criados, diciendo: “Dejadla espigar incluso entre las gavillas, y no la reprochéis.
And she rose up to glean; and Booz charged his young men, saying, Let her even glean among the sheaves, and reproach her not.
16 También saquen algo para ella de los manojos y déjenlo. Dejadla espigar, y no la reprendáis”.
And do you by all means carry it for her, and you shall surely let fall for her some of that which is heaped up; and let her eat, and glean, and rebuke her not.
17 Así que espigó en el campo hasta la noche; y sacó lo que había espigado, que era como un efa de cebada.
So she gleaned in the field till evening, and beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barely.
18 Lo recogió y se fue a la ciudad. Entonces su suegra vio lo que había espigado, y sacó y le dio lo que le había sobrado.
And she took [it] up, and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and Ruth brought forth and gave to her the food which she had left from what she had been satisfied with.
19 Su suegra le dijo: “¿Dónde has espigado hoy? ¿Dónde has trabajado? Bendito sea el que se fijó en ti”. Le dijo a su suegra con quien había trabajado: “El nombre del hombre con quien he trabajado hoy es Booz”.
And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today, and where have you wrought? blessed be he that took notice of you. And Ruth told her mother-in-law where she [had] wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought today [is] Booz.
20 Noemí dijo a su nuera: “Que sea bendecido por Yahvé, que no ha abandonado su bondad con los vivos y con los muertos.” Noemí le dijo: “Ese hombre es un pariente cercano a nosotros, uno de nuestros parientes cercanos.”
And Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed is he of the Lord, because he has not failed in his mercy with the living and with the dead: and Noemin said to her, The man is near akin to us, he is one of our relations.
21 Rut la moabita dijo: “Sí, él me dijo: “Te quedarás cerca de mis jóvenes hasta que terminen toda mi cosecha””.
And Ruth said to her mother-in-law, Yes, he said also to me, Keep close to my damsels, until the men shall have finished all my reaping.
22 Noemí dijo a Rut, su nuera: “Es bueno, hija mía, que salgas con sus doncellas y que no te encuentren en ningún otro campo.”
And Noemin said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, [It is] well, daughter, that you went out with his damsels; thus they shall not meet you in another field.
23 Así que se quedó cerca de las doncellas de Booz, para espigar hasta el final de la cosecha de cebada y de trigo; y vivió con su suegra.
And Ruth joined herself to the damsels of Booz to glean until they had finished the barley harvest and the wheat harvest.
