1  And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ had a kinsman⁴¹²⁹ of her husband's,³⁷⁶ a mighty¹³⁶⁸ man³⁷⁶ of wealth,²⁴²⁸ of the family^{4480 4940} of Elimelech;⁴⁵⁸ and his name⁸⁰³⁴ was Boaz.¹¹⁶²

2  And Ruth⁷³²⁷ the Moabitess⁴¹²⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Naomi,⁵²⁸¹ Let me now⁴⁹⁹⁴ go¹⁹⁸⁰ to the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and glean³⁹⁵⁰ ears of corn⁷⁶⁴¹ after^{310 834} him in whose sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ I shall find⁴⁶⁷² grace.²⁵⁸⁰ And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ my daughter.¹³²³

3  And she went,¹⁹⁸⁰ and came,⁹³⁵ and gleaned³⁹⁵⁰ in the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ after³¹⁰ the reapers:⁷¹¹⁴ and her hap⁴⁷⁴⁵ was to light⁷¹³⁶ on a part²⁵¹³ of the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ belonging unto Boaz,¹¹⁶² who⁸³⁴ was of the kindred^{4480 4940} of Elimelech.⁴⁵⁸

4  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Boaz¹¹⁶² came⁹³⁵ from Bethlehem,^{4480 1035} and said⁵⁵⁹ unto the reapers,⁷¹¹⁴ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be with⁵⁹⁷³ you. And they answered⁵⁵⁹ him, The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ bless¹²⁸⁸ thee.

5  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Boaz¹¹⁶² unto his servant⁵²⁸⁸ that was set⁵³²⁴ over⁵⁹²¹ the reapers,⁷¹¹⁴ Whose⁴³¹⁰ damsel⁵²⁹¹ is this?²⁰⁶³

6  And the servant⁵²⁸⁸ that was set⁵³²⁴ over⁵⁹²¹ the reapers⁷¹¹⁴ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ It¹⁹³¹ is the Moabitish⁴¹²⁵ damsel⁵²⁹¹ that came back⁷⁷²⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ Naomi⁵²⁸¹ out of the country^{4480 7704} of Moab:⁴¹²⁴

7  And she said,⁵⁵⁹ I pray⁴⁹⁹⁴ you, let me glean³⁹⁵⁰ and gather⁶²² after³¹⁰ the reapers⁷¹¹⁴ among the sheaves:⁶⁰¹⁶ so she came,⁹³⁵ and hath continued⁵⁹⁷⁵ even from^{4480 227} the morning¹²⁴² until⁵⁷⁰⁴ now,⁶²⁵⁸ that²⁰⁸⁸ she tarried³⁴²⁷ a little⁴⁵⁹² in the house.¹⁰⁰⁴

8  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Boaz¹¹⁶² unto⁴¹³ Ruth,⁷³²⁷ Hearest⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou not,³⁸⁰⁸ my daughter?¹³²³ Go¹⁹⁸⁰ not⁴⁰⁸ to glean³⁹⁵⁰ in another³¹² field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ neither^{1571 3808} go⁵⁶⁷⁴ from hence,^{4480 2088} but³⁵⁴¹ abide¹⁶⁹² here fast by⁵⁹⁷³ my maidens:⁵²⁹¹

9  Let thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ be on the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ that⁸³⁴ they do reap,⁷¹¹⁴ and go¹⁹⁸⁰ thou after³¹⁰ them: have I not³⁸⁰⁸ charged^{6680 853} the young men⁵²⁸⁸ that they shall not¹¹¹⁵ touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ thee? and when thou art athirst,⁶⁷⁷⁰ go¹⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴¹³ the vessels,³⁶²⁷ and drink⁸³⁵⁴ of that which^{4480 834} the young men⁵²⁸⁸ have drawn.⁷⁵⁷⁹

10  Then she fell⁵³⁰⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ her face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and bowed herself⁷⁸¹² to the ground,⁷⁷⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Why⁴⁰⁶⁹ have I found⁴⁶⁷² grace²⁵⁸⁰ in thine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ that thou shouldest take knowledge⁵²³⁴ of me, seeing I⁵⁹⁵ am a stranger?⁵²³⁷

11  And Boaz¹¹⁶² answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, It hath fully⁵⁰⁴⁶ been showed⁵⁰⁴⁶ me, all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ thou hast done⁶²¹³ unto ⁸⁵³ thy mother-in-law²⁵⁴⁵ since³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of thine husband:³⁷⁶ and how thou hast left⁵⁸⁰⁰ thy father¹ and thy mother,⁵¹⁷ and the land⁷⁷⁶ of thy nativity,⁴¹³⁸ and art come¹⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴¹³ a people⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ thou knewest³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ heretofore.^{8032 8543}

12  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ recompense⁷⁹⁹⁹ thy work,⁶⁴⁶⁷ and a full⁸⁰⁰³ reward⁴⁹⁰⁹ be given¹⁹⁶¹ thee of^{4480 5973} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ whose⁸³⁴ wings³⁶⁷¹ thou art come⁹³⁵ to trust.²⁶²⁰

13  Then she said,⁵⁵⁹ Let me find⁴⁶⁷² favor²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ my lord;¹¹³ for³⁵⁸⁸ that thou hast comforted⁵¹⁶² me, and for that³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ friendly^{5921 3820} unto thine handmaid,⁸¹⁹⁸ though I⁵⁹⁵ be¹⁹⁶¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ like unto one²⁵⁹ of thine handmaidens.⁸¹⁹⁸

14  And Boaz¹¹⁶² said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, At mealtime^{6256 400} come⁵⁰⁶⁶ thou hither,¹⁹⁸⁸ and eat³⁹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and dip²⁸⁸¹ thy morsel⁶⁵⁹⁵ in the vinegar.²⁵⁵⁸ And she sat³⁴²⁷ beside^{4480 6654} the reapers:⁷¹¹⁴ and he reached⁶⁶⁴² her parched⁷⁰³⁹ corn, and she did eat,³⁹⁸ and was sufficed,⁷⁶⁴⁶ and left.³⁴⁹⁸

15  And when she was risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ to glean,³⁹⁵⁰ Boaz¹¹⁶² commanded^{6680 853} his young men,⁵²⁸⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let her glean³⁹⁵⁰ even¹⁵⁷¹ among⁹⁹⁶ the sheaves,⁶⁰¹⁶ and reproach³⁶³⁷ her not:³⁸⁰⁸

16  And let fall⁷⁹⁹⁷ also¹⁵⁷¹ some of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the handfuls⁶⁶⁵³ of purpose⁷⁹⁹⁷ for her, and leave⁵⁸⁰⁰ them, that she may glean³⁹⁵⁰ them, and rebuke¹⁶⁰⁵ her not.³⁸⁰⁸

17  So she gleaned³⁹⁵⁰ in the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ even,⁶¹⁵³ and beat out^{2251 853} that⁸³⁴ she had gleaned:³⁹⁵⁰ and it was¹⁹⁶¹ about an ephah³⁷⁴ of barley.⁸¹⁸⁴

18  And she took it up,⁵³⁷⁵ and went⁹³⁵ into the city:⁵⁸⁹² and her mother-in-law²⁵⁴⁵ saw^{7200 853} what⁸³⁴ she had gleaned:³⁹⁵⁰ and she brought forth,³³¹⁸ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to her ⁸⁵³ that⁸³⁴ she had reserved³⁴⁹⁸ after she was sufficed.^{4480 7648}

19  And her mother-in-law²⁵⁴⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Where³⁷⁵ hast thou gleaned³⁹⁵⁰ today?³¹¹⁷ and where³⁷⁵ wroughtest⁶²¹³ thou? blessed¹²⁸⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ he that did take knowledge⁵²³⁴ of thee. And she showed⁵⁰⁴⁶ her mother-in-law^{2545 853} with⁵⁹⁷³ whom⁸³⁴ she had wrought,⁶²¹³ and said,⁵⁵⁹ The man's³⁷⁶ name⁸⁰³⁴ with⁵⁹⁷³ whom⁸³⁴ I wrought⁶²¹³ today³¹¹⁷ is Boaz.¹¹⁶²

20  And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her daughter-in-law,³⁶¹⁸ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be he¹⁹³¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ who⁸³⁴ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ left off⁵⁸⁰⁰ his kindness²⁶¹⁷ to⁸⁵⁴ the living²⁴¹⁶ and to⁸⁵⁴ the dead.⁴¹⁹¹ And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, The man³⁷⁶ is near of kin⁷¹³⁸ unto us, one¹⁹³¹ of our next kinsmen.^{4480 1350}

21  And Ruth⁷³²⁷ the Moabitess⁴¹²⁵ said,⁵⁵⁹ He said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me also,¹⁵⁷¹ Thou shalt keep fast¹⁶⁹² by⁵⁹⁷³ my⁸³⁴ young men,⁵²⁸⁸ until^{5704 518} they have ended^{3615 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ my⁸³⁴ harvest.⁷¹⁰⁵

22  And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Ruth⁷³²⁷ her daughter-in-law,³⁶¹⁸ It is good,²⁸⁹⁶ my daughter,¹³²³ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou go out³³¹⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ his maidens,⁵²⁹¹ that they meet⁶²⁹³ thee not³⁸⁰⁸ in any other³¹² field.⁷⁷⁰⁴

23  So she kept fast¹⁶⁹² by the maidens⁵²⁹¹ of Boaz¹¹⁶² to glean³⁹⁵⁰ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the end³⁶¹⁵ of barley⁸¹⁸⁴ harvest⁷¹⁰⁵ and of wheat²⁴⁰⁶ harvest;⁷¹⁰⁵ and dwelt³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ her mother-in-law.²⁵⁴⁵

1 καὶ τῇ Νωεμιν ἀνὴρ γνώριμος τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς ὁ δὲ ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἰσχύι ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Αβιμελεχ καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Βοος

2 καὶ εἶπεν Ρουθ ἡ Μωαβῖτις πρὸς Νωεμιν πορευθῶ δὴ εἰς ἀγρὸν καὶ συνάξω ἐν τοῖς στάχυσιν κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐὰν εὕρω χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῇ πορεύου θύγατερ

3 καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ κατόπισθεν τῶν θεριζόντων καὶ περιέπεσεν περιπτώματι τῇ μερίδι τοῦ ἀγροῦ Βοος τοῦ ἐκ συγγενείας Αβιμελεχ

4 καὶ ἰδοὺ Βοος ἦλθεν ἐκ Βαιθλεεμ καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς θερίζουσιν κύριος μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ εὐλογήσαι σε κύριος

5 καὶ εἶπεν Βοος τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐφεστῶτι ἐπὶ τοὺς θερίζοντας τίνος ἡ νεᾶνις αὕτη

6 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ παιδάριον τὸ ἐφεστὸς ἐπὶ τοὺς θερίζοντας καὶ εἶπεν ἡ παῖς ἡ Μωαβῖτίς ἐστιν ἡ ἀποστραφεῖσα μετὰ Νωεμιν ἐξ ἀγροῦ Μωαβ

7 καὶ εἶπεν συλλέξω δὴ καὶ συνάξω ἐν τοῖς δράγμασιν ὄπισθεν τῶν θεριζόντων καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἔστη ἀπὸ πρωίθεν καὶ ἕως ἑσπέρας οὐ κατέπαυσεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ μικρόν

8 καὶ εἶπεν Βοος πρὸς Ρουθ οὐκ ἤκουσας θύγατερ μὴ πορευθῇς ἐν ἀγρῷ συλλέξαι ἑτέρῳ καὶ σὺ οὐ πορεύσῃ ἐντεῦθεν ὧδε κολλήθητι μετὰ τῶν κορασίων μου

9 οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς τὸν ἀγρόν οὗ ἐὰν θερίζωσιν καὶ πορεύσῃ κατόπισθεν αὐτῶν ἰδοὺ ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς παιδαρίοις τοῦ μὴ ἅψασθαί σου καὶ ὅ τι διψήσεις καὶ πορευθήσῃ εἰς τὰ σκεύη καὶ πίεσαι ὅθεν ἂν ὑδρεύωνται τὰ παιδάρια

10 καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν τί ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναί με καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ξένη

11 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βοος 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 λαὸν ὃν οὐκ ᾔδεις ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης

12 ἀποτείσαι κύριος τὴν ἐργασίαν σου καὶ γένοιτο ὁ μισθός σου πλήρης παρὰ κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ πρὸς ὃν ἦλθες πεποιθέναι ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ

13 ἡ 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

14 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Βοος ἤδη ὥρᾳ τοῦ φαγεῖν πρόσελθε ὧδε καὶ φάγεσαι τῶν ἄρτων καὶ βάψεις τὸν ψωμόν σου ἐν τῷ ὄξει καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ρουθ ἐκ πλαγίων τῶν θεριζόντων καὶ ἐβούνισεν αὐτῇ Βοος ἄλφιτον καὶ ἔφαγεν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθη καὶ κατέλιπεν

15 καὶ ἀνέστη τοῦ συλλέγειν καὶ ἐνετείλατο Βοος τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ λέγων καί γε ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δραγμάτων συλλεγέτω καὶ μὴ καταισχύνητε αὐτήν

16 καὶ βαστάζοντες βαστάξατε αὐτῇ καί γε παραβάλλοντες παραβαλεῖτε αὐτῇ ἐκ τῶν βεβουνισμένων καὶ ἄφετε καὶ συλλέξει καὶ οὐκ ἐπιτιμήσετε αὐτῇ

17 καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐρράβδισεν ἃ συνέλεξεν καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς οιφι κριθῶν

18 καὶ ἦρεν καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἶδεν ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς ἃ συνέλεξεν καὶ ἐξενέγκασα Ρουθ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ ἃ κατέλιπεν ἐξ ὧν ἐνεπλήσθη

19 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς ποῦ συνέλεξας σήμερον καὶ ποῦ ἐποίησας εἴη ὁ ἐπιγνούς σε εὐλογημένος καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν Ρουθ τῇ πενθερᾷ αὐτῆς ποῦ ἐποίησεν καὶ εἶπεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἀνδρός μεθ᾽ οὗ ἐποίησα σήμερον Βοος

20 καὶ εἶπεν Νωεμιν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτῆς εὐλογητός ἐστιν τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπεν τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ζώντων καὶ μετὰ τῶν τεθνηκότων καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Νωεμιν ἐγγίζει ἡμῖν ὁ ἀνὴρ ἐκ τῶν ἀγχιστευόντων ἡμᾶς ἐστιν

21 καὶ εἶπεν Ρουθ πρὸς τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς καί γε ὅτι εἶπεν πρός με μετὰ τῶν παιδαρίων μου προσκολλήθητι ἕως ἂν τελέσωσιν ὅλον τὸν ἀμητόν ὃς ὑπάρχει μοι

22 καὶ εἶπεν Νωεμιν πρὸς Ρουθ τὴν νύμφην αὐτῆς ἀγαθόν θύγατερ ὅτι ἐπορεύθης μετὰ τῶν κορασίων αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀπαντήσονταί σοι ἐν ἀγρῷ ἑτέρῳ

23 καὶ προσεκολλήθη Ρουθ τοῖς κορασίοις Βοος συλλέγειν ἕως οὗ συνετέλεσεν τὸν θερισμὸν τῶν κριθῶν καὶ τῶν πυρῶν καὶ ἐκάθισεν μετὰ τῆς πενθερᾶς αὐτῆς

1 Erat autem viro Elimelech consanguineus, homo potens, et magnarum opum, nomine Booz.

2 Dixitque Ruth Moabitis ad socrum suam: Si jubes, vadam in agrum, et colligam spicas quæ fugerint manus metentium, ubicumque clementis in me patrisfamilias reperero gratiam. Cui illa respondit: Vade, filia mea.

3 Abiit itaque et colligebat spicas post terga metentium. Accidit autem ut ager ille haberet dominum nomine Booz, qui erat de cognatione Elimelech.

4 Et ecce, ipse veniebat de Bethlehem, dixitque messoribus: Dominus vobiscum. Qui responderunt ei: Benedicat tibi Dominus.

5 Dixitque Booz juveni, qui messoribus præerat: Cujus est hæc puella?

6 Cui respondit: Hæc est Moabitis, quæ venit cum Noëmi, de regione Moabitide,

7 et rogavit ut spicas colligeret remanentes, sequens messorum vestigia: et de mane usque nunc stat in agro, et ne ad momentum quidem domum reversa est.

8 Et ait Booz ad Ruth: Audi, filia, ne vadas in alterum agrum ad colligendum, nec recedas ab hoc loco: sed jungere puellis meis,

9 et ubi messuerint, sequere. Mandavi enim pueris meis, ut nemo molestus sit tibi: sed etiam si sitieris, vade ad sarcinulas, et bibe aquas, de quibus et pueri bibunt.

10 Quæ cadens in faciem suam et adorans super terram, dixit ad eum: Unde mihi hoc, ut invenirem gratiam ante oculos tuos, et nosse me dignareris peregrinam mulierem?

11 Cui ille respondit: Nuntiata sunt mihi omnia quæ feceris socrui tuæ post mortem viri tui: et quod reliqueris parentes tuos, et terram in qua nata es, et veneris ad populum, quem antea nesciebas.

12 Reddat tibi Dominus pro opere tuo, et plenam mercedem recipias a Domino Deo Israël, ad quem venisti, et sub cujus confugisti alas.

13 Quæ ait: Inveni gratiam apud oculos tuos, domine mi, qui consolatus es me, et locutus es ad cor ancillæ tuæ, quæ non sum similis unius puellarum tuarum.

14 Dixitque ad eam Booz: Quando hora vescendi fuerit, veni huc, et comede panem, et intinge buccellam tuam in aceto. Sedit itaque ad messorum latus, et congessit polentam sibi, comeditque et saturata est, et tulit reliquias.

15 Atque inde surrexit, ut spicas ex more colligeret. Præcepit autem Booz pueris suis, dicens: Etiamsi vobiscum metere voluerit, ne prohibeatis eam:

16 et de vestris quoque manipulis projicite de industria, et remanere permittite, ut absque rubore colligat, et colligentem nemo corripiat.

17 Collegit ergo in agro usque ad vesperam: et quæ collegerat virga cædens et excutiens, invenit hordei quasi ephi mensuram, id est, tres modios.

18 Quos portans reversa est in civitatem, et ostendit socrui suæ: insuper protulit, et dedit ei de reliquiis cibi sui, quo saturata fuerat.

19 Dixitque ei socrus sua: Ubi hodie collegisti, et ubi fecisti opus? sit benedictus qui misertus est tui. Indicavitque ei apud quem fuisset operata: et nomen dixit viri, quod Booz vocaretur.

20 Cui respondit Noëmi: Benedictus sit a Domino: quoniam eamdem gratiam, quam præbuerat vivis, servavit et mortuis. Rursumque ait: Propinquus noster est homo.

21 Et ait Ruth: Hoc quoque, inquit, præcepit mihi, ut tamdiu messoribus ejus jungerer, donec omnes segetes meterentur.

22 Cui dixit socrus: Melius est, filia mea, ut cum puellis ejus exeas ad metendum, ne in alieno agro quispiam resistat tibi.
