Ruth 2
Hungarian Károli
2 Vala pedig Naóminak egy rokona az õ férje után, elõkelõ derék ember Elimélek nemzetségébõl; neve Boáz.
2 És monda a Moábita Ruth Naóminak: Hadd menjek, kérlek, a mezõre, hogy kalászokat szedegessek az után, a kinek szemei elõtt kedvességet találok. És az monda: Menj édes leányom.
3 Elméne azért és odaérkezék, szedegete a mezõn az aratók után, és történetesen oda talált a Boáz szántóföldjére, a ki Elimélek nemzetségébõl való volt.
4 És ímé Boáz kijöve Bethlehembõl, és monda az aratóknak: Az Úr legyen veletek! És õk mondának néki: Áldjon meg téged az Úr!
5 És monda Boáz az õ szolgájának, a ki az aratók felügyelõje volt: Kié ez a leányzó?
6 És felele a szolga, az aratók felügyelõje, és monda: Az a Moábita leányzó ez, a ki Naómival jött a Moáb mezejérõl.
7 A ki mondá: Hadd szedegessek, kérlek, és hadd tarlózgassak a kévék közt az aratók után. És ide jöve, és itt marada reggeltõl fogva mind mostanig: és csak épen most pihent egy keveset a házban.
8 És mondá Boáz Ruthnak: Ugyan hallod-é édes leányom! Ne menj szedegetni más mezõre és el ne menj innen; hanem menj [mindenütt] szolgálóim után.
9 Szemeid legyenek a mezõn, a melyet aratnak, és járj utánok. Ímé meghagytam a szolgáknak, hogy ne bántsanak téged, és ha megszomjúhozol, menj az edényekhez és igyál abból, a mit a szolgák merítenek.
10 Akkor ez arczra borula és meghajtá magát a földig, és monda néki: Hogy- hogy találtam [ilyen] kedvességet a te szemeid elõtt, hogy rám tekintettél, holott én idegen vagyok?
11 Boáz pedig felele, és monda néki: Bizony elmondtak nékem mindent, amit cselekedtél a te napaddal, férjed halála után, hogy elhagytad a te atyádat és a te anyádat és a te születésednek földét, és jöttél ahhoz a néphez, a melyet nem ismertél azelõtt.
12 Fizessen meg az Úr a te cselekedetedért, és legyen teljes a te jutalmad az Úrtól, Izráelnek Istenétõl, a kinek szárnyai alatt oltalmat keresni jöttél.
13 Ez pedig monda: Találjak kedvességet a te szemeid elõtt uram, mert megvigasztaltál engem, és mert a te szolgálódnak szívéhez szóltál, holott én nem vagyok a te szolgálóleányaid közül.
14 És az evésnek idejekor szóla néki Boáz: Jer ide, és egyél a kenyérbõl, és mártsd be a te falatodat az eczetes [lébe]. És õ leüle az aratók mellé. És pergelt gabonát nyújtott néki, és evett, s jóllakott, sõt még hagyott is.
15 Azután felállott, hogy szedegessen és Boáz megparancsolta az õ szolgáinak, mondván: A kévék között is hadd szedegessen, és meg ne pirongassátok õt.
16 Sõt húzogassatok ki néki a kévékbõl is, és hagyogassatok el, hogy szedje fel, és meg ne dorgáljátok õt.
17 És õ szedegete a mezõn mind estiglen, és kicsépelé, a mit szedegetett, és lett abból szinte egy efa árpa.
18 És felvevé és beméne a városba, és napaasszonya látá, a mit õ szedegetett. Aztán elõvevé és odaadá néki, a mit meghagyott, minekutána jóllakott vala.
19 És monda néki az õ napaasszonya: Hol szedegettél ma, és hol munkálkodtál? Áldott legyen, a ki rád tekintett. És elbeszélte az õ napaasszonyának, hogy kinél munkálkodott, és monda: Annak a férfiúnak a neve, a kinél ma munkálkodtam: Boáz.
20 És monda Naómi az õ menyének: Áldott legyen õ az Úrtól, a ki nem vonta meg irgalmasságát az élõktõl és a megholtaktól! És Naómi monda néki: Közel valónk nékünk az a férfiú; legközelebbi rokonaink közül való õ.
21 És szóla a Moábita Ruth: Még azt is mondta õ nékem: Menj [mindenütt] az én munkásaim után, a míg csak el nem végzik az én egész aratásomat.
22 És monda Naómi Ruthnak, az õ menyének: Jó, édes leányom, hogy az õ szolgálóival jársz, ne is találjanak téged más mezõn.
23 Így járt õ [mindenütt] a Boáz szolgálói után, szedegetve, míg az árpaaratás és búzaaratás bevégzõdött; és az õ napaasszonyával lakott.
Ruth 2
New King James Version
Ruth Meets Boaz
2 There was a (A)relative of Naomi’s husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of (B)Elimelech. His name was (C)Boaz. 2 So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the (D)field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor.”
And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 Now behold, Boaz came from (E)Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, (F)“The Lord be with you!”
And they answered him, “The Lord bless you!”
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”
6 So the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered and said, “It is the young Moabite woman (G)who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. 7 And she said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came and has continued from morning until now, though she rested a little in the house.”
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women. 9 Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn.”
10 So she (H)fell on her face, bowed down to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found (I)favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?”
11 And Boaz answered and said to her, “It has been fully reported to me, (J)all that you have done for 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 whom you did not know before. 12 (K)The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, (L)under whose wings you have come for refuge.”
13 Then she said, (M)“Let me find favor in your sight, my lord; for you have comforted me, and have spoken [a]kindly to your maidservant, (N)though I am not like one of your maidservants.”
14 Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, “Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.” So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed parched grain to her; and she ate and (O)was satisfied, and kept some back. 15 And when she rose up to [b]glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not [c]reproach her. 16 Also let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her; leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of (P)barley. 18 Then she took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. So she brought out and gave to her (Q)what she had kept back after she had been satisfied.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? And where did you work? Blessed be the one who (R)took notice of you.”
So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
20 Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, (S)“Blessed be he of the Lord, who (T)has not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead!” And Naomi said to her, “This man is a relation of ours, (U)one of [d]our close relatives.”
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also said to me, ‘You shall stay close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’ ”
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not [e]meet you in any other field.” 23 So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
Ruth 2
New International Version
Ruth Meets Boaz in the Grain Field
2 Now Naomi had a relative(A) on her husband’s side, a man of standing(B) from the clan of Elimelek,(C) whose name was Boaz.(D)
2 And Ruth the Moabite(E) said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain(F) behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor.(G)”
Naomi said to her, “Go ahead, my daughter.” 3 So she went out, entered a field and began to glean behind the harvesters.(H) As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelek.(I)
4 Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, “The Lord be with you!(J)”
“The Lord bless you!(K)” they answered.
5 Boaz asked the overseer of his harvesters, “Who does that young woman belong to?”
6 The overseer replied, “She is the Moabite(L) who came back from Moab with Naomi. 7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves(M) behind the harvesters.’ She came into the field and has remained here from morning till now, except for a short rest(N) in the shelter.”
8 So Boaz said to Ruth, “My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with the women who work for me. 9 Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the women. I have told the men not to lay a hand on you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled.”
10 At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground.(O) She asked him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me(P)—a foreigner?(Q)”
11 Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law(R) since the death of your husband(S)—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know(T) before.(U) 12 May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord,(V) the God of Israel,(W) under whose wings(X) you have come to take refuge.(Y)”
13 “May I continue to find favor in your eyes,(Z) my lord,” she said. “You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant—though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”
14 At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come over here. Have some bread(AA) and dip it in the wine vinegar.”
When she sat down with the harvesters,(AB) he offered her some roasted grain.(AC) She ate all she wanted and had some left over.(AD) 15 As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, “Let her gather among the sheaves(AE) and don’t reprimand her. 16 Even pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up, and don’t rebuke(AF) her.”
17 So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed(AG) the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah.[a](AH) 18 She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gathered. Ruth also brought out and gave her what she had left over(AI) after she had eaten enough.
19 Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you!(AJ)”
Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.
20 “The Lord bless him!(AK)” Naomi said to her daughter-in-law.(AL) “He has not stopped showing his kindness(AM) to the living and the dead.” She added, “That man is our close relative;(AN) he is one of our guardian-redeemers.[b](AO)”
21 Then Ruth the Moabite(AP) said, “He even said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they finish harvesting all my grain.’”
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It will be good for you, my daughter, to go with the women who work for him, because in someone else’s field you might be harmed.”
23 So Ruth stayed close to the women of Boaz to glean until the barley(AQ) and wheat harvests(AR) were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
