Ruth 3

KJV

1  Then Naomi5281 her mother-in-law2545 said559 unto her, My daughter,1323 shall I not3808 seek1245 rest4494 for thee, that834 it may be well3190 with thee?

2  And now6258 is not3808 Boaz1162 of our kindred,4130 with854 whose834 maidens5291 thou wast?1961 Behold,2009 he1931 winnoweth2219 barley8184 tonight3915 in 853 the threshingfloor.1637

3  Wash7364 thyself therefore, and anoint5480 thee, and put7760 thy raiment8071 upon5921 thee, and get thee down3381 to the floor:1637 but make not thyself known3045 408 unto the man,376 until5704 he shall have done3615 eating398 and drinking.8354

4  And it shall be,1961 when he lieth down,7901 that thou shalt mark3045 853 the place4725 where834 8033 he shall lie,7901 and thou shalt go in,935 and uncover1540 his feet,4772 and lay thee down;7901 and he1931 will tell5046 thee 853 what834 thou shalt do.6213

5  And she said559 unto413 her, All3605 that834 thou sayest559 unto413 me I will do.6213

6  And she went down3381 unto the floor,1637 and did6213 according to all3605 that834 her mother-in-law2545 bade6680 her.

7  And when Boaz1162 had eaten398 and drunk,8354 and his heart3820 was merry,3190 he went935 to lie down7901 at the end7097 of the heap of corn:6194 and she came935 softly,3909 and uncovered1540 his feet,4772 and laid her down.7901

8  And it came to pass1961 at midnight,2677 3915 that the man376 was afraid,2729 and turned himself:3943 and, behold,2009 a woman802 lay7901 at his feet.4772

9  And he said,559 Who4310 art thou?859 And she answered,559 I595 am Ruth7327 thine handmaid:519 spread6566 therefore thy skirt3671 over5921 thine handmaid;519 for3588 thou859 art a near kinsman.1350

10  And he said,559 Blessed1288 be thou859 of the LORD,3068 my daughter:1323 for thou hast showed more3190 kindness2617 in the latter end314 than4480 at the beginning,7223 inasmuch as thou followedst1980 310 not1115 young men,970 whether518 poor1800 or518 rich.6223

11  And now,6258 my daughter,1323 fear3372 not;408 I will do6213 to thee all3605 that834 thou requirest:559 for3588 all3605 the city8179 of my people5971 doth know3045 that3588 thou art a virtuous2428 woman.802

12  And now6258 3588 it is true551 that3588 518 I595 am thy near kinsman:1350 howbeit1571 there is3426 a kinsman1350 nearer7138 than4480 I.

13  Tarry3885 this night,3915 and it shall be1961 in the morning,1242 that if518 he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman,1350 well;2896 let him do the kinsman's part:1350 but if518 he will2654 not3808 do the part of a kinsman1350 to thee, then will I595 do the part of a kinsman1350 to thee, as the LORD3068 liveth:2416 lie down7901 until5704 the morning.1242

14  And she lay7901 at his feet4772 until5704 the morning:1242 and she rose up6965 before2958 one376 could know5234 853 another.7453 And he said,559 Let it not408 be known3045 that3588 a woman802 came935 into the floor.1637

15  Also he said,559 Bring3051 the veil4304 that834 thou hast upon5921 thee, and hold270 it. And when she held270 it, he measured4058 six8337 measures of barley,8184 and laid7896 it on5921 her: and she went into935 the city.5892

16  And when she came935 to413 her mother-in-law,2545 she said,559 Who4310 art thou,859 my daughter?1323 And she told5046 her 853 all3605 that834 the man376 had done6213 to her.

17  And she said,559 These428 six8337 measures of barley8184 gave5414 he me; for3588 he said559 to413 me, Go935 not408 empty7387 unto413 thy mother-in-law.2545

18  Then said559 she, Sit still,3427 my daughter,1323 until5704 834 thou know3045 how349 the matter1697 will fall:5307 for3588 the man376 will not3808 be in rest,8252 until3588 518 he have finished3615 the thing1697 this day.3117

1 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῇ Νωεμιν ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς θύγατερ οὐ μὴ ζητήσω σοι ἀνάπαυσιν ἵνα εὖ γένηταί σοι

2 καὶ νῦν οὐχὶ Βοος γνώριμος ἡμῶν οὗ ἦς μετὰ τῶν κορασίων αὐτοῦ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς λικμᾷ τὸν ἅλωνα τῶν κριθῶν ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτί

3 σὺ δὲ λούσῃ καὶ ἀλείψῃ καὶ περιθήσεις τὸν ἱματισμόν σου ἐπὶ σεαυτῇ καὶ ἀναβήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸν ἅλω μὴ γνωρισθῇς τῷ ἀνδρὶ ἕως οὗ συντελέσαι αὐτὸν πιεῖν καὶ φαγεῖν

4 καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτόν καὶ γνώσῃ τὸν τόπον ὅπου κοιμᾶται ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐλεύσῃ καὶ ἀποκαλύψεις τὰ πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ κοιμηθήσῃ καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπαγγελεῖ σοι ἃ ποιήσεις

5 εἶπεν δὲ Ρουθ πρὸς αὐτήν πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν εἴπῃς ποιήσω

6 καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὸν ἅλω καὶ ἐποίησεν κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο αὐτῇ ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς

7 καὶ ἔφαγεν Βοος καὶ ἠγαθύνθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦλθεν κοιμηθῆναι ἐν μερίδι τῆς στοιβῆς ἡ δὲ ἦλθεν κρυφῇ καὶ ἀπεκάλυψεν τὰ πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ

8 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ μεσονυκτίῳ καὶ ἐξέστη ὁ ἀνὴρ καὶ ἐταράχθη καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ κοιμᾶται πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ

9 εἶπεν δέ τίς εἶ σύ ἡ δὲ εἶπεν ἐγώ εἰμι Ρουθ ἡ δούλη σου καὶ περιβαλεῖς τὸ πτερύγιόν σου ἐπὶ τὴν δούλην σου ὅτι ἀγχιστεὺς εἶ σύ

10 καὶ εἶπεν Βοος εὐλογημένη σὺ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ θύγατερ ὅτι ἠγάθυνας τὸ ἔλεός σου τὸ ἔσχατον ὑπὲρ τὸ πρῶτον τὸ μὴ πορευθῆναί σε ὀπίσω νεανιῶν εἴτοι πτωχὸς εἴτοι πλούσιος

11 καὶ νῦν θύγατερ μὴ φοβοῦ πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν εἴπῃς ποιήσω σοι οἶδεν γὰρ πᾶσα φυλὴ λαοῦ μου ὅτι γυνὴ δυνάμεως εἶ σύ

12 καὶ ὅτι ἀληθῶς ἀγχιστεὺς ἐγώ εἰμι καί γε ἔστιν ἀγχιστεὺς ἐγγίων ὑπὲρ ἐμέ

13 αὐλίσθητι τὴν νύκτα καὶ ἔσται τὸ πρωί ἐὰν ἀγχιστεύσῃ σε ἀγαθόν ἀγχιστευέτω ἐὰν δὲ μὴ βούληται ἀγχιστεῦσαί σε ἀγχιστεύσω σε ἐγώ ζῇ κύριος κοιμήθητι ἕως πρωί

14 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ ἕως πρωί ἡ δὲ ἀνέστη πρὸ τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναι ἄνδρα τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Βοος μὴ γνωσθήτω ὅτι ἦλθεν γυνὴ εἰς τὸν ἅλωνα

15 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ φέρε τὸ περίζωμα τὸ ἐπάνω σου καὶ ἐκράτησεν αὐτό καὶ ἐμέτρησεν ἓξ κριθῶν καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν

16 καὶ Ρουθ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς ἡ δὲ εἶπεν τίς εἶ θύγατερ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἀνήρ

17 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ τὰ ἓξ τῶν κριθῶν ταῦτα ἔδωκέν μοι ὅτι εἶπεν πρός με μὴ εἰσέλθῃς κενὴ πρὸς τὴν πενθεράν σου

18 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν κάθου θύγατερ ἕως τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναί σε πῶς οὐ πεσεῖται ῥῆμα οὐ γὰρ μὴ ἡσυχάσῃ ὁ ἀνήρ ἕως ἂν τελέσῃ τὸ ῥῆμα σήμερον

1 Postquam autem reversa est ad socrum suam, audivit ab ea: Filia mea, quæram tibi requiem, et providebo ut bene sit tibi.

2 Booz iste, cujus puellis in agro juncta es, propinquus noster est, et hac nocte aream hordei ventilat.

3 Lavare igitur, et ungere, et induere cultioribus vestimentis, et descende in aream: non te videat homo, donec esum potumque finierit.

4 Quando autem ierit ad dormiendum, nota locum in quo dormiat: veniesque et discooperies pallium, quo operitur a parte pedum, et projicies te, et ibi jacebis: ipse autem dicet quid agere debeas.

5 Quæ respondit: Quidquid præceperis, faciam.

6 Descenditque in aream, et fecit omnia quæ sibi imperaverat socrus.

7 Cumque comedisset Booz, et bibisset, et factus esset hilarior, issetque ad dormiendum juxta acervum manipulorum, venit abscondite, et discooperto pallio, a pedibus ejus se projecit.

8 Et ecce, nocte jam media expavit homo, et conturbatus est: viditque mulierem jacentem ad pedes suos,

9 et ait illi: Quæ es? Illaque respondit: Ego sum Ruth ancilla tua: expande pallium tuum super famulam tuam, quia propinquus es.

10 Et ille: Benedicta, inquit, es a Domino, filia, et priorem misericordiam posteriore superasti: quia non est secuta juvenes, pauperes sive divites.

11 Noli ergo metuere, sed quidquid dixeris mihi, faciam tibi. Scit enim omnis populus, qui habitat intra portas urbis meæ, mulierem te esse virtutis.

12 Nec abnuo me propinquum, sed est alius me propinquior.

13 Quiesce hac nocte: et facto mane, si te voluerit propinquitatis jure retinere, bene res acta est: sin autem ille noluerit, ego te absque ulla dubitatione suscipiam, vivit Dominus. Dormi usque mane.

14 Dormivit itaque ad pedes ejus, usque ad noctis abscessum. Surrexit itaque antequam homines se cognoscerent mutuo, et dixit Booz: Cave ne quis noverit quod huc veneris.

15 Et rursum: Expande, inquit, pallium tuum, quo operiris, et tene utraque manu. Qua extendente, et tenente, mensus est sex modios hordei, et posuit super eam. Quæ portans ingressa est civitatem,

16 et venit ad socrum suam. Quæ dixit ei: Quid egisti, filia? Narravitque ei omnia, quæ sibi fecisset homo.

17 Et ait: Ecce sex modios hordei dedit mihi, et ait: Nolo vacuam te reverti ad socrum tuam.

18 Dixitque Noëmi: Expecta, filia, donec videamus quem res exitum habeat: neque enim cessabit homo, nisi compleverit quod locutus est.
