1ΚΑΙ τῇ Νωεμὶν ἀνὴρ γνώριμος τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς· ὁ δὲ ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἰσχύϊ ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Ἐλιμέλεχ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Βοόζ.
1Now her husband Elimelech had a kinsman, a powerful man, and very rich, whose name was Booz.
2καὶ εἶπε Ροὺθ ἡ Μωαβῖτις πρὸς Νωεμίν· πορευθῶ δὴ εἰς ἀγρὸν καὶ συνάξω ἐν τοῖς στάχυσι κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐὰν εὕρω χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ. εἶπε δὲ αὐτῇ· πορεύου, θύγατερ.
2And Ruth the Moabitess said to her mother in law: If thou wilt, I will go into the field, and glean the ears of corn that escape the hands of the reapers, wheresoever I shall find grace with a householder that will be favourable to me. And she answered her: Go, my daughter.
3καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐλθοῦσα συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ κατόπισθεν τῶν θεριζόντων· καὶ περιέπεσε περιπτώματι τῇ μερίδι τοῦ ἀγροῦ Βοὸζ τοῦ ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Ἐλιμέλεχ.
3She went therefore and gleaned the ears of corn after the reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
4καὶ ἰδοὺ Βοὸζ ἦλθεν ἐκ Βηθλεὲμ καὶ εἶπε τοῖς θερίζουσι· Κύριος μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν· καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· εὐλογήσαι σε Κύριος.
4And behold, he came out of Bethlehem, and said to the reapers: The Lord be with you. And they answered him: The Lord bless thee.
5καὶ εἶπε Βοὸζ τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐφεστῶτι ἐπὶ τοὺς θερίζοντας· τίνος ἡ νεᾶνις αὕτη;
5And Booz said to the young man that was set over the reapers: Whose maid is this?
6καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ παιδάριον τὸ ἐφεστὼς ἐπὶ τοὺς θερίζοντας καὶ εἶπεν· ἡ παῖς ἡ Μωαβῖτίς ἐστιν ἡ ἀποστραφεῖσα μετὰ Νωεμὶν ἐξ ἀγροῦ Μωὰβ
6And he answered him: This is the Moabitess who came with Noemi, from the land of Moab,
7καὶ εἶπε· συλλέξω δὴ καὶ συνάξω ἐν τοῖς δράγμασιν ὄπισθεν τῶν θεριζόντων· καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἔστη ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν καὶ ἕως ἑσπέρας, οὐ κατέπαυσεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ μικρόν.
7And she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain, following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment.
8καὶ εἶπε Βοὸζ πρὸς Ρούθ· οὐκ ἤκουσας, θύγατερ; μὴ πορευθῇς ἐν ἀγρῷ συλλέξαι ἑτέρῳ, καὶ σὺ οὐ πορεύσῃ ἐντεῦθεν· ὧδε κολλήθητι μετὰ τῶν κορασίων μου·
8And Booz said to Ruth: Hear me, daughter, do not go to glean in any other field, and do not depart from this place: but keep with my maids,
9οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς τὸν ἀγρόν, οὗ ἐὰν θερίζωσι, καὶ πορεύσῃ κατόπισθεν αὐτῶν· ἰδοὺ ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς παιδαρίοις τοῦ μὴ ἅψαισθαί σου· καὶ ὅτε διψήσεις καὶ πορευθήσῃ εἰς τὰ σκεύη καὶ πίεσαι ὅθεν ἐὰν ὑδρεύωνται τὰ παιδάρια.
9And follow where they reap. For I have charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants drink.
10καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· τί ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναί με, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ξένη;
10She fell on her face and worshipping upon the ground, said to him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes, and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me a woman of another country?
11καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βοὸζ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· ἀπαγγελίᾳ ἀπηγγέλη μοι ὅσα πεποίηκας μετὰ τῆς πενθερᾶς σου μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ πῶς κατέλιπες τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου καὶ τὴν γῆν γενέσεώς σου καὶ ἐπορεύθης πρὸς λαόν, ὃν οὐκ ᾔδεις ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης·
11And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
12ἀποτίσαι Κύριος τὴν ἐργασίαν σου καὶ γένοιτο ὁ μισθός σου πλήρης παρὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ, πρὸς ὃν ἦλθες πεποιθέναι ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ.
12The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayest thou receive a full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and under whose wings thou art fled.
13ἡ δὲ εἶπεν· εὕροιμι χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, κύριε, ὅτι παρεκάλεσάς με καὶ ὅτι ἐλάλησας ἐπὶ καρδίαν τῆς δούλης σου, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι ὡς μία τῶν παιδισκῶν σου.
13And she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast comforted me and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not like to one of thy maids.
14καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Βοόζ· ἤδη ὥρα τοῦ φαγεῖν, πρόσελθε ὧδε καὶ φάγεσαι τῶν ἄρτων καὶ βάψεις τὸν ψωμόν σου ἐν τῷ ὄξει. καὶ ἐκάθισε Ροὺθ ἐκ πλαγίων τῶν θεριζόντων, καὶ ἐβούνισεν αὐτῇ Βοὸζ ἄλφιτον, καὶ ἔφαγε καὶ ἐνεπλήσθη καὶ κατέλιπε.
14And Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings.
15καὶ ἀνέστη τοῦ συλλέγειν, καὶ ἐνετείλατο Βοὸζ τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ λέγων· καί γε ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δραγμάτων συλλεγέτω, καὶ μὴ καταισχύνητε αὐτήν·
15And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not:
16καὶ βαστάζοντες βαστάσατε αὐτῇ καί γε παραβάλλοντες παραβαλεῖτε αὐτῇ ἐκ τῶν βεβουνισμένων· καὶ φάγεται καὶ συλλέξει, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιτιμήσετε αὐτῇ.
16And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them.
17καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ἕως ἑσπέρας· καὶ ἐρράβδισεν ἃ συνέλεξε, καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς οἰφὶ κριθῶν.
17She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels:
18καὶ ᾖρε καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ εἶδεν ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς ἃ συνέλεξε, καὶ ἐξενέγκασα Ροὺθ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ ἃ κατέλιπεν, ἐξ ὧν ἐνεπλήσθη.
18Which she took up and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled.
19καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς· ποῦ συνέλεξας σήμερον καὶ ποῦ ἐποίησας; εἴη ὁ ἐπιγνούς σε εὐλογημένος. καὶ ἀνήγγειλε Ροὺθ τῇ πενθερᾷ αὐτῆς ποῦ ἐποίησε, καὶ εἶπε· τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἀνδρός, μεθ᾿ οὗ ἐποίησα σήμερον, Βοόζ.
19And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man’s name, that he was called Booz.
20εἶπε δὲ Νωεμὶν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτῆς· εὐλογητός ἐστι τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπε τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ζώντων καὶ μετὰ τῶν τεθνηκότων. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Νωεμίν· ἐγγίζει ἡμῖν ὁ ἀνήρ, ἐκ τῶν ἀγχιστευόντων ἡμῖν ἐστι.
20And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the dead. And again she said: The man is our kinsman.
21καὶ εἶπε Ροὺθ πρὸς τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς· καί γε ὅτι εἶπε πρός με· μετὰ τῶν κορασίων τῶν ἐμῶν προσκολλήθητι ἕως ἂν τελέσωσιν ὅλον τὸν ἀμητόν, ὃς ὑπάρχει μοι.
21And Ruth said, He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped.
22καὶ εἶπε Νωεμὶν πρὸς Ροὺθ τὴν νύμφην αὐτῆς· ἀγαθόν, θύγατερ, ὅτι ἐξῆλθες μετὰ τῶν κορασίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἀπαντήσονταί σοι ἐν ἀγρῷ ἑτέρῳ.
22And her mother in law said to her: It is better for thee, my daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man’s field some one may resist thee.
23καὶ προσεκολλήθη Ροὺθ τοῖς κορασίοις τοῦ Βοὸζ τοῦ συλλέγειν ἕως τοῦ συντελέσαι τὸν θερισμὸν τῶν κριθῶν καὶ τῶν πυρῶν.
23So she kept close to the maids of Booz: and continued to glean with them, till all the barley and the wheat were laid up in the barns.
