  2:1 ¶
And Naomi{gr.Noemin} had [a friend] an acquaintance of her husband, and the man [was] a mighty man of the kindred of Elimelech, and his name [was] Boaz{gr.Booz}. |
|
2:1 ¶
And Naomiº
had a kinsmanºººº
of her husband's,º
a mightyº
manº
of wealth,º
of the familyºº
of Elimelech;º
and his nameº
[was] Boaz.º |
|
2:2
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi{gr.Noemin}, Let me go now to the field, and I will glean among the ears behind the man with whomsoever I shall find favour: and she said to her, Go, daughter. |
2:2
And Ruthº
the Moabitessº
saidºº
untoº
Naomi,º
Let me nowº
goººº
to the field,º
and gleanºº
ears of cornº
afterºº
[him] in whose sightº
I shall findºº
grace.º
And she saidºº
unto her, Go,ººº
my daughter.º |
|
2:3
And she went; and came and gleaned in the field behind the reapers; and she happened by chance to come on a portion of the land of Boaz{gr.Booz}, of the kindred of Elimelech. |
2:3
And she went,ººº
and came,ºº
and gleanedºº
in the fieldº
afterº
the reapers:ºº
and her hapº
was to lightºº
on a partº
of the fieldº
[belonging] unto Boaz,º
whoº
[was] of the kindredºº
of Elimelech.º |
|
2:4 ¶
And, behold, Boaz{gr.Booz} came from Bethlehem{gr.Bethleem}, and said to the reapers, The Lord [be] with you: and they said to him, The Lord bless thee. |
2:4 ¶
And, behold,º
Boazº
cameºº
from Bethlehem,ºº
and saidºº
unto the reapers,ºº
Yahwehº
[be] withº
you. And they answeredºº
him, Yahwehº
blessºº
thee. |
|
2:5
And Boaz{gr.Booz} said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose [is] this damsel? |
2:5
Then saidºº
Boazº
unto his servantº
that was setºº
overº
the reapers,ºº
Whoseº
damselº
[is] this?º |
|
2:6
And his servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel who returned with Naomi{gr.Noemin} out of the land of Moab. |
2:6
And the servantº
that was setºº
overº
the reapersºº
answeredºº
and said,ºº
Itº
[is] the Moabitishº
damselº
that came backºº
withº
Naomiº
out of the countryºº
of Moab:º |
|
2:7
And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers: and she came and stood from morning till evening, and rested not [even] a little in the field. |
2:7
And she said,ºº
I prayº
you, let me gleanºº
and gatherºº
afterº
the reapersºº
among the sheaves:º
so she came,ºº
and hath continuedºº
evenº
fromºº
the morningº
untilº
now,º
thatº
she tarriedºº
a littleº
in the house.º |
|
2:8
And Boaz{gr.Booz} said to Ruth, Hast thou not heard, [my] daughter? go not to glean in another field; and depart not thou hence, join thyself here with my damsels. |
2:8
Then saidºº
Boazº
untoº
Ruth,º
Hearestºº
thou not,º
my daughter?º
Goººº
notº
to gleanºº
in anotherº
field,º
neitherºº
goºº
from hence,ºº
butº
abideºº
here fast byº
my maidens:º |
|
2:9
[Let] thine eyes [be] on the field where [my men] shall reap, and thou shalt go after them: behold, I have charged the young men not to touch thee: and when you shalt thirst, then thou shalt go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men shall have drawn. |
2:9
[Let] thine eyesº
[be] on the fieldº
thatº
they do reap,ºº
and goºº
thou afterº
them: have I notº
chargedººº
the young menº
that they shall notº
touchºº
thee? and when thou art athirst,ºº
goºº
untoº
the vessels,º
and drinkºº
of [that] whichºº
the young menº
have drawn.ºº |
|
2:10
And she fell upon her face, and did reverence to the ground, and said to him, How is it that I have found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take notice of me, whereas I am a stranger? |
2:10
Then she fellºº
onº
her face,º
and bowedºº
herselfº
to the ground,º
and saidºº
untoº
him, Whyº
have I foundºº
graceº
in thine eyes,º
that thou shouldest take knowledgeºº
of me, seeing Iº
[am] a stranger?º |
|
2:11
And Boaz{gr.Booz} answered and said to her, It has fully been told me how thou hast dealt with thy mother-in-law after the death of thy husband; and how thou didst leave thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy birth, and camest to a people whom thou knewest not before. |
2:11
And Boazº
answeredºº
and saidºº
unto her, It hath fullyºº
been shewedºº
me, allº
thatº
thou hast doneºº
untoº
thy mother in lawº
sinceº
the deathº
of thine husband:º
and [how] thou hast leftºº
thy fatherº
and thy mother,º
and the landº
of thy nativity,º
and art comeººº
untoº
a peopleº
whichº
thou knewestºº
notº
heretofore.ºº |
|
2:12
The Lord recompense thy work; may a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, to whom thou hast come to trust under his wings. |
2:12
Yahwehº
recompenseºº
thy work,º
and a fullº
rewardº
be givenº
thee ofºº
Yahwehº
Elohimº
of Israel,º
underº
whoseº
wingsº
thou art comeºº
to trust.ºº |
|
2:13
And she said, Let me find grace in thy sight, my lord, because thou hast comforted me, and because thou hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, and behold, I shall be as one of thy servants. |
2:13
Then she said,ºº
Let me findºº
favourº
in thy sight,º
my adon;º
forº
that thou hast comfortedºº
me, and for thatº
thou hast spokenºº
friendlyºº
unto thine handmaid,º
though Iº
beº
notº
like unto oneº
of thine handmaidens.º |
|
2:14
And Boaz{gr.Booz} said to her, Now [it is] time to eat; come hither, and thou shalt eat of the bread, and thou shalt dip thy morsel in the vinegar: and Ruth sat by the side of the reapers: and Boaz{gr.Booz} handed her meal, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left. |
2:14
And Boazº
saidºº
unto her, At mealtimeºº
comeºº
thou hither,º
and eatºº
ofº
the bread,º
and dipºº
thy morselº
in the vinegar.º
And she satºº
besideºº
the reapers:ºº
and he reachedºº
her parchedº
[corn], and she did eat,ºº
and was sufficed,ºº
and left.ºº |
|
2:15
And she rose up to glean; and Boaz{gr.Booz} charged his young men, saying, Let her even glean among the sheaves, and reproach her not. |
2:15
And when she was risen upºº
to glean,ºº
Boazº
commandedººº
his young men,º
saying,ºº
Let her gleanºº
evenº
amongº
the sheaves,º
and reproachºº
her not:º |
|
2:16
And do ye by all means carry it for her, and ye shall surely let fall for her some of that which is heaped up; and let her eat, and glean, and rebuke her not. |
2:16
And let fallºº
alsoº
[some] ofº
the handfulsº
of purposeºº
for her, and leaveºº
[them], that she may gleanºº
[them], and rebukeºº
her not.º |
|
2:17
So she gleaned in the field till evening, and beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barely. |
2:17
So she gleanedºº
in the fieldº
untilº
even,º
and beat outººº
thatº
she had gleaned:ºº
and it wasº
about an ephahº
of barley.º |
|
2:18 ¶
And she took [it] up, and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and Ruth brought forth and gave to her the food which she had left from what she had been satisfied with. |
2:18 ¶
And she took [it] up,ºº
and wentºº
into the city:º
and her mother in lawº
sawººº
whatº
she had gleaned:ºº
and she brought forth,ºº
and gaveºº
to herº
thatº
she had reservedºº
after she was sufficed.ºº |
|
2:19
And her mother-in-law said to her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that took notice of thee. And Ruth told her mother-in-law where she [had] wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought to-day [is] Boaz{gr.Booz}. |
2:19
And her mother in lawº
saidºº
unto her, Whereº
hast thou gleanedºº
to day?º
and whereº
wroughtestºº
thou? blessedºº
beº
he that did take knowledgeºº
of thee. And she shewedºº
her mother in lawºº
withº
whomº
she had wrought,ºº
and said,ºº
The man'sº
nameº
withº
whomº
I wroughtºº
to dayº
[is] Boaz.º |
|
2:20
And Naomi{gr.Noemin} said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed is he of the Lord, because he has not failed in his mercy with the living and with the dead: and Naomi{gr.Noemin} said to her, The man is near akin to us, he is one of our relations. |
2:20
And Naomiº
saidºº
unto her daughter in law,º
Blessedºº
[be] heº
of Yahweh,º
whoº
hath notº
left offºº
his kindnessº
toº
the livingº
and toº
the dead.ºº
And Naomiº
saidºº
unto her, The manº
[is] near of kinº
unto us, oneº
of our next kinsmen.ººº |
|
2:21
And Ruth said to her mother-in-law, Yea, he said also to me, Keep close to my damsels, until the men shall have finished all my reaping. |
2:21
And Ruthº
the Moabitessº
said,ºº
He saidºº
untoº
me also,º
Thou shalt keep fastºº
byº
myº
young men,º
untilºº
they have endedººº
allº
myº
harvest.º |
|
2:22
And Naomi{gr.Noemin} said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, [It is] well, daughter, that thou wentest out with his damsels; thus they shall not meet thee in another field. |
2:22
And Naomiº
saidºº
untoº
Ruthº
her daughter in law,º
[It is] good,º
my daughter,º
thatº
thou go outºº
withº
his maidens,º
that they meetºº
thee notº
in any otherº
field.º |
|
2:23
And Ruth joined herself to the damsels of Boaz{gr.Booz} to glean until they had finished the barley-harvest and the wheat-harvest. |
2:23
So she kept fastºº
by the maidensº
of Boazº
to gleanºº
untoº
the endºº
of barleyº
harvestº
and of wheatº
harvest;º
and dweltºº
withº
her mother in law.º |
