Young's Literal Translation
Now
Naomi had
a
relative
on
her husband’s
side
, a prominent
man of noble
character
from
the clan
of Elimelech, whose
name was
Boaz.
And
Naomi hath
an
acquaintance
of
her husband's
, a man mighty
in
wealth,
of the family
of Elimelech, and
his
name `is'
Boaz.
And Ruth the Moabitess said
to
Naomi, “Please
let me go into the fields
and glean
heads
of grain
after someone
in whose sight
I may
find favor.”
“
Go ahead
, my daughter ,”
Naomi
replied
.
And Ruth the Moabitess saith
unto
Naomi, `
Let me go ,
I
pray
thee,
into the field,
and I
gather
among
the
ears
of corn
after him
in whose eyes
I find grace;'
and
she
saith
to
her,
`
Go, my daughter. '
So
Ruth
departed
and went
out
into
the
field
and gleaned
after the harvesters.
And she
happened
to
come
to
the part
of the field belonging
to
Boaz,
who was
from
the clan
of Elimelech.
And she
goeth
and cometh
and
gathereth
in
a
field
after the reapers,
and her
chance
happeneth
--
the portion
of the field is
Boaz's
who `is'
of
the family
of Elimelech.
Just
then
Boaz arrived
from Bethlehem
and said
to the harvesters
, “The
LORD
be
with you .”
“The
LORD
bless
you,”
they replied
.
And
lo,
Boaz hath
come
from Beth-Lehem,
and saith
to the reapers
, `Jehovah
`is'
with you ;'
and
they say
to
him,
`Jehovah
doth
bless
thee
. '
And Boaz asked
the
foreman
of
his harvesters
, “
Whose young
woman
is this? ”
And Boaz saith
to
his young
man
who
is
set
over
the
reapers
, `
Whose `
is '
this young
person
? '
The foreman
answered,
“She
is the Moabitess who returned
with Naomi from the land
of Moab .
And
the young
man
who
is set
over
the reapers
answereth
and
saith,
`A
young
woman
--
Moabitess --
she
`is',
who came
back
with Naomi from the fields
of Moab ,
She has
said
, ‘Please
let me glean and gather
among the sheaves after the harvesters.’
So
she came
out
and has
continued
from
morning until
now ,
except
that
she rested
a
short
time
in the shelter
. ”
and
she saith
, Let me glean ,
I
pray
thee
--
and I
have
gathered
among the sheaves after the reapers;
and
she cometh
and remaineth
since
the
morning and
till
now ;
she sat
in the house
a
little
.
Then
Boaz said
to
Ruth, “Listen
, my daughter .
Do
not
go and
glean in another field, and do
not go
away
from this place
, but
stay
here
close
to my servant
girls.
And
Boaz saith
unto
Ruth, `Hast
thou
not
heard
, my daughter ?
go not
to
glean in another field, and also,
pass
not over
from this, and
thus
thou
dost
cleave
to my young
women:
Let
your
eyes be
on the field they are
harvesting
, and follow
along
after these
girls.
Indeed,
I
have ordered
the young men not to touch you.
And
when you
are
thirsty
, go
and drink
from the
jars
the young men have
filled
. ”
thine
eyes `are'
on the field which
they reap
, and thou
hast
gone
after them;
have not
I
charged
the young men not to touch thee?
when thou
art
athirst
then
thou
hast
gone
unto
the
vessels
, and hast
drunk
from that
which
the young men draw
. '
At
this,
she fell
on her face, bowing
low
to the ground
, and said
to
him, “Why
have I found such
favor
in your
eyes that
you
should
take
notice
of
me, even
though
I am
a foreigner
? ”
And
she falleth
on her face, and
boweth
herself
to the earth
, and saith
unto
him, `Wherefore
have I found grace
in thine
eyes ,
to
discern
me, and
I a stranger
? '
Boaz replied
, “I
have
been made
fully
aware
of
all you
have
done for
your
mother-in-law since
the death of your
husband, how
you
left
your
father and mother and the land of your
birth, and how
you
came
to
a people you
did
not know
before
.
And
Boaz answereth
and
saith
to
her
, `It
hath
thoroughly
been declared
to
me
all that
thou
hast
done with
thy
mother-in-law ,
after
the death of thy
husband, and
thou
dost
leave
thy
father ,
and thy
mother ,
and the land of thy
birth, and dost
come
in
unto
a people which
thou
hast
not known
heretofore
.
May
the
LORD
repay
your
work, and may
you
receive
a
rich
reward from the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, under whose wings you
have
taken
refuge. ”
Jehovah
doth
recompense
thy
work, and thy
reward is
complete
from Jehovah
, God of Israel, under whose wings thou
hast
come
to
take
refuge. '
“My
lord,”
she said
, “may
I
continue
to
find favor
in your
eyes, for
you
have
comforted and spoken kindly
to
your
maidservant
, though
I am not like
one of your
servant
girls
. ”
And
she saith
, `Let
me
find grace
in thine
eyes, my
lord,
because
thou
hast
comforted me,
and because
thou
hast
spoken unto
the
heart
of
thy
maid-servant
, and
I --
I
am not as
one of thy
maid-servants
. '
At
mealtime
Boaz said
to her, “
Come over
here;
have
some
bread and dip
it
into
the vinegar sauce
. ”
So
she sat
down
beside
the harvesters
, and he offered
her roasted grain
, and she ate
and was
satisfied and had
some
left
over
.
And
Boaz saith
to her, `At
meal-time
come nigh
hither,
and
thou
hast
eaten
of
the
bread ,
and dipped
thy
morsel
in
the vinegar. '
And
she sitteth
at
the side
of
the
reapers
, and he reacheth
to
her roasted corn
, and she eateth,
and is
satisfied ,
and leaveth
.
When
Ruth
got
up
to glean, Boaz ordered
his young men, “
Even if
she
gathers
among
the sheaves, do not insult
her .
And
she
riseth
to glean, and
Boaz chargeth
his young men, saying,
`
Even between
the sheaves she
doth
glean
, and
ye
do not cause
her to
blush;
Rather,
pull
out
for
her some
stalks
from
the bundles
and leave
them
for
her
to
gather.
Do not rebuke
her. ”
and
also
ye
do
surely
cast
to
her of
the handfuls
--
and have
left,
and
she
hath
gleaned,
and
ye
do not push
against
her. '
So
Ruth
gathered
grain
in the field until
evening .
And when
she
beat
out what
she had
gleaned, it was
about an ephah of barley .
And
she
gleaneth
in the field till
the
evening ,
and beateth
out that
which
she hath
gleaned, and
it is
about an ephah of barley ;
She picked
up the
grain
and went
into the town
, where
her mother-in-law saw
what
she had
gleaned .
And she brought
out what
she had
saved
from her meal
and
gave
it
to
Naomi
.
and
she taketh
`it'
up ,
and goeth
into the city
, and
her mother-in-law seeth
that
which
she hath
gleaned ,
and she bringeth
out and
giveth
to
her
that
which
she left
from her satiety
.
Then
her mother-in-law asked
her, “
Where did
you
glean
today,
and where did
you
work
? Blessed
be
the
man
who noticed
you
. ”
So
she told
her mother-in-law where
she had
worked.
“
The name of the man I
worked
with today
is Boaz ,”
she
said
.
And
her mother-in-law saith
to
her, `
Where hast
thou
gleaned
to-day?
and where hast
thou
wrought
? may
he
who is
discerning
thee
be
blessed
. '
And
she declareth
to
her mother-in-law with
whom
she hath
wrought,
and
saith,
`
The name of the man with whom
I
have
wrought
to-day
`
is '
Boaz. '
Then
Naomi said
to her daughter-in-law, “May
he
be
blessed by
the
LORD,
who has
not withdrawn
His kindness from
the living or
the dead .”
Naomi continued
, “
The man is a close
relative.
He is one
of our kinsman-
redeemers. ”
And
Naomi saith
to her daughter-in-law, `
Blessed `is'
he
of
Jehovah
who hath
not forsaken
His kindness with
the living and
with
the dead ;'
and
Naomi saith
to
her
, `
The man is a relation
of
ours;
he `
is '
of our redeemers. '
Then
Ruth the Moabitess said
, “He
also told
me, ‘Stay
with
my
young men
until
they have finished
gathering
all
my
harvest. ’”
And
Ruth the Moabitess saith
, `
Also he
surely
said
unto
me, Near
the
young people
whom
I
have
thou
dost
cleave
till
they have completed
the
whole
of
the
harvest which
I
have
. '
And Naomi said
to
her daughter-in-law Ruth
, “
My daughter, it
is
good
for
you
to
work
with his young women, so
that
nothing
will
happen
to
you
in another field. ”
And Naomi saith
unto
Ruth
her daughter-in-law, `Good,
my daughter, that
thou
goest
out
with his young women, and
they
come
not
against
thee
in another field. '
So
Ruth
stayed
close
to the servant
girls
of Boaz to glean grain
until
the barley and wheat harvests
were
finished.
And she lived
with her mother-in-law.
And
she
cleaveth
to the young
women
of Boaz to glean ,
till
the completion
of
the
barley -harvest,
and of
the
wheat -harvest,
and she dwelleth
with her mother-in-law.
