§2.1Καὶ τῇ Νωεμεὶν ἀνὴρ γνώριμος τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς· ὁ δὲ ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἐκ τῆς συγγενίας ᾿Αβειμέλεχ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῶ Βόος.
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Abimelech; and his name was Boaz.
§2.2καὶ ἡ Μωαβεῖτις τοῖς στάχυσιν κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐὰν εὕρω χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῇ Πορεύου, θυγάτηρ. §2.3καὶ ἐπορεύθη, καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ κατόπισθεν τῶν τῶν θεριζόντων· καὶ περιέπεσεν περιπτώματι τῇ μερίδι τοῦ ἀγροῦ Βόος, τοῦ ἐκ συγγενείας ᾿Αβειμέλεχ·
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, "Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor." And she said unto her, "Go, my daughter." And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Abimelech.
§2.4Καὶ ἰδοὺ Βόος ἦλθεν ἐκ Βαιθλέεμ καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς θερίζουσιν Κύριος μεθ’ ὑμῶν· κοὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ Εὐλογήσαι σε Κύριος. §2.5καὶ εἶπεν Βόος τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐφεστῶτι ἐπὶ τοὺς θερίζοντας τίνος ἡ νεᾶνις αὕτη; §2.6καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ παιδάριον τὸ ἐφεστὸς ἐπὶ τούς θερίζοντας καὶ εἶπεν Ἡ παῖς ἡ Μωαβεῖτίς ἐστιν, ἡ ἀποστραφεῖσα μετὰ Νωεμεὶν ἐξ ἀγροῦ Μωάβ·
And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, "The Lord be with you." And they answered him, "The Lord bless thee." Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, "Whose damsel is this?" And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, "It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
§2.7καὶ 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. §2.8καὶ εἶπεν Βόος πρὸς ῾Ρούθ οὐκ ἤκουσας, θυγάτηρ;
And she said, 'I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' So she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house." Then said Boaz unto Ruth, "Hearest thou not, my daughter?
μὴ πορευθῇς ἐν ἀγρῷ συλλέξαι ἑτέρῳ· καὶ σὺ οὐ πορεύσῃ ἐντεῦθεν, ὧδε κολλήθητι μετὰ τῶν κορασίων μου.
Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.
§2.9οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν οὗ ἐὰν θερίζωσιν, καὶ πορεύση κατόπισθεν αὐτῶν. ἰδοὺ ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς παιδαρίοις τοῦ μὴ ἅψασθαὶ σου· καὶ ὅ τι διψήσεις, καὶ πορευθήσῃ εἰς τὰ σκεύη καὶ πίεσαι ὅθεν ἀν’ ὑδρεύωνται τὰ παιδάρια. §2.10καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἑ’πὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Τί ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναί με, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ξένη; §2.11καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βόοσ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ᾿Απαγγελίᾳ 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 γενέσεως σου, καὶ ἐπορεύθης πρὸς λαὸν ὃν οὐκ ᾔδεις ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης.
Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn." Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, "Why have I found favor in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?" And Boaz answered and said unto her, "It hath fully been shown me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
§2.12ἀποτίσαι κύριος τὴν ἐργασίαν σου· γένοιτο ὁ μισθός σου πλήρης παρὰ κυρίου θεοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, πρὸς ὅν ἦλθες πεποιθέναι ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ §2.13ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Εὔροιμι 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. §2.14καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Βόος Ἤδη ὥρα τοῦ Φαγεῖν, πρόσελθε ὧδε καὶ φάγεσαι τῶν ἄρτων, καὶ βάψεις τὸν ψωμόν σου τῷ ὄξει. καὶ ἐκάθισεν ῾Ροὺθ ἐκ πλαγίων τῶν θεριζόντων· καὶ ἐβούνισεν αὐτῇ Βόος ἄλφιτον, κα ἔφαγεν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθη καὶ κατέλιπεν,
The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust." Then she said, "Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thy handmaidens." And Boaz said unto her, "At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar." And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.
§2.15καὶ ἀνέστη τοῦ συλλέγειν. καὶ ἐνετείλατο βοὸς τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ λέγων καί γε ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δραγμάτων συλλεγέτω, καὶ μὴ καταισχύνητε αὐτήν·
And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not.
§2.16καὶ βαστάζοντες βαστάξατε αὐτῇ, καί γε παραβάλλοντες παραβαλεῖτε ἐκ τῶν βεβουνισμένων· καὶ φάγεται καὶ συλλέξει, καὶ οὐκ ἐπ’ μήσετε αὐτῇ. §2.17καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ἕως ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἐράβδισεν ἃ συνέλεξεν, καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς οἰφὶ κριθῶν.
And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not." So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
§2.18Καὶ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν· καὶ εἶδεν ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς ἁ καὶ ἐξενέγκασα ῾Ροὺθ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ ἃ κατέλιπεν ἐξ ὧν ἐνεπλήσθη.
And 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 she had reserved after she was sufficed.
§2.19καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς Ποῦ συνέλεξας σήμερον καὶ ποῦ ἐποίησας; εἴη ὁ ἐπιγνούς σε εὐλογημένος. καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν ῾Ροὺθ τῆ πενθερᾷ αὐτῆς ποῦ ἐποίησεν, καὶ εἶπεν Τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἀνδρὸς μεθ’ οὗ ἐποίησα σήμερον Βόος. §2.20καὶ εἶπεν Νωεμεὶν τῇ νύμφη αὐτῆς Εὐλογητός ἐστιν τῷ κυρίῳ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνκατέλιπεν τὸ ἕλεος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ζώντων καὶ μετὰ τῶν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Νωεμείν ᾿Εγγίζει ἡμῖν ὁ ἀνήρ, ἐκ τῶν ἡμᾶς ἐστιν. §2.21καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ροὺθ πρὸς τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς καἰ γε ὅτι εἶπεν πρὸς μέ Μετὰ τῶν παιδαρίων μου κολλήθητι ἕως ἂν τελέσωσιν ὅλον τὸν ἀμητὸν ὃς ὑπάρχει μοι. §2.22καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς ῾Ροὺθ τὴν νύμφην αὐτῆς ᾿Αγαθόν, θυγάτηρ, ὅτι ἑ μετά τῶν κορασίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἀπαντήσονταί σοι ἐν ἀγρῷ ἑτέρῳ. §2.23καὶ προσεκολλήθη ῾Ροὺθ τοῖς κορασίοις βοὸς συλλέγειν ἕως οὗ συνετέλεσεν τὸν θερισμὸν τῶν κριθῶν καὶ τῶν πυρῶν. * κοὶ ἐκάθισεν μετὰ τῆς πενθερᾶς αὐτῆς.
And her mother-in-law said unto her, "Where hast thou gleaned today? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee." And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, "The man's name with whom I wrought today is Boaz." And Naomi said unto her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead." And Naomi said unto her, "The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen." And Ruth the Moabitess said, "He said unto me also, 'Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'" And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field." So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother-in-law.
