Berean Standard Bible
Naomi had a kinsman
of
her husband's
, a mighty
man of wealth,
of
the family
of Elimelech, and
his
name was Boaz.
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.
Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now
go to
the field,
and glean among
the
ears
of grain after him
in whose sight I shall
find favor. She
said
to
her,
Go, my daughter.
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
.
She
went,
and
came
and gleaned
in
the field after the reapers:
and she happened to come to the portion
of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of
the family
of Elimelech.
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.
Behold,
Boaz came
from Bethlehem ,
and said to the reapers
, Yahweh
be with you. They
answered
him,
Yahweh
bless you.
Just
then
Boaz arrived
from Bethlehem and said to the harvesters
, “The
LORD
be with you. ”
“The
LORD
bless you ,”
they
replied
.
Then
said
Boaz to
his
servant
who
was
set
over
the reapers
, Whose young lady
is this?
And
Boaz asked
the foreman
of
his
harvesters
, “
Whose young woman
is this? ”
The servant
who
was
set
over
the
reapers
answered, It
is the Moabite
lady
who came
back
with Naomi out
of
the country
of Moab :
The foreman
answered, “She
is the Moabitess
who returned
with Naomi from
the land
of Moab .
She said, Please let me glean and gather after
the
reapers
among the sheaves. So she came ,
and has continued even
from the
morning until now, except that she stayed
a little
in the house
.
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
. ”
Then said
Boaz to Ruth, Don't
you
hear
, my daughter ?
Don't
go to
glean in another field, neither
pass
from hence
, but abide
here fast
by
my maidens
.
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
.
Let your eyes be on the field that
they reap
, and go
after them:
haven't
I charged
the young men that
they
shall
not touch you ?
and when you are thirsty, go to
the
vessels,
and drink of
that
which
the young men have drawn
.
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
. ”
Then
she fell on her face, and
bowed
herself
to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favor in your sight,
that you should take knowledge
of me, seeing
I am a foreigner?
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? ”
Boaz answered
her
, It
has
fully
been shown
me,
all that
you have done to
your mother-in-law since the death of your husband ;
and
how you have
left your father and your
mother ,
and the land of your birth, and have
come
to a people that
you didn't
know before.
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.
Yahweh
recompense
your work, and a full
reward be
given
you
of
Yahweh
, the God of Israel, under whose wings you are
come
to
take
refuge.
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. ”
Then
she said, Let
me
find favor in your sight,
my
lord
, because
you have comforted me,
and because
you
have
spoken kindly to your handmaid
, though I am not as
one of your handmaidens
.
“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
. ”
At meal-time
Boaz said to her, Come here ,
and
eat
of
the
bread ,
and dip your
morsel
in
the vinegar. She sat beside the reapers
, and they
reached
her parched
grain, and she ate ,
and was sufficed,
and left of
it
.
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
.
When she
was
risen
up to glean, Boaz commanded
his young men, saying,
Let
her
glean
even among the sheaves, and
don't
reproach
her.
When Ruth
got
up to glean, Boaz ordered
his young men, “
Even if
she
gathers
among the sheaves, do
not
insult
her.
Also
pull out some
for her from the bundles ,
and leave it,
and
let
her glean,
and
don't
rebuke her.
Rather,
pull out for her some
stalks
from the bundles and leave them
for
her to
gather.
Do
not
rebuke her. ”
So she
gleaned
in the field until even;
and she beat out that
which
she had gleaned, and
it was about an ephah of barley.
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.
She took
it
up ,
and went into the city;
and
her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned :
and she brought forth
and gave to her
that
which
she
had
left
after
she
was
sufficed
.
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
.
Her mother-in-law said
to
her, Where have
you gleaned
today ?
and where have
you worked
? blessed be he
who did
take
knowledge
of
you. She shown
her mother-in-law with
whom
she had worked ,
and
said,
The man's
name with
whom
I worked today is Boaz.
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
.
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed
be
he of
Yahweh
, who has not left
off
his kindness to
the living and
to
the dead. Naomi said
to
her
, The man is a close relative to
us,
one of our near
kinsmen
.
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
. ”
Ruth the Moabitess said, Yes,
he said
to
me, You
shall
keep
fast
by
my young men ,
until they have ended
all my harvest.
Then
Ruth the Moabitess said, “
He also
told
me, ‘Stay
with
my young men until they have finished
gathering
all my harvest. ’”
Naomi said to Ruth
her daughter-in-law ,
It
is
good
, my daughter, that
you go
out
with his maidens
, and
that they
not
meet
you in any
other
field.
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. ”
So she
kept
fast
by
the maidens
of Boaz ,
to glean to
the end
of
barley harvest
and of
wheat harvest;
and she lived with her mother-in-law.
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.
