Ruth 2

1At si Noemi ay may kamaganak ng kaniyang asawa, isang mayamang makapangyarihan, sa angkan ni Elimelech; at ang pangalan niya'y Booz. 2At sinabi ni Ruth na Moabita kay Noemi, Paparoonin mo ako ngayon sa bukid, at mamulot ng mga uhay sa likuran niyaong aking kasumpungan ng biyaya sa paningin. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Yumaon ka, anak ko. 3At siya'y yumaon at naparoon, at namulot sa bukid sa likuran ng mga mangaani: at nagkataong dumating sa bahagi ng lupa na nauukol kay Booz, na sa angkan ni Elimelech. 4At, narito, si Booz ay nanggaling sa Bethlehem, at nagsabi sa mga mangaani, Ang Panginoo'y sumainyo nawa. At sila'y sumagot sa kaniya, Pagpalain ka nawa ng Panginoon. 5Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Booz sa kaniyang lingkod na kaniyang katiwala sa mga mangaani, Sinong babae ito? 6At ang lingkod na katiwala sa mga mangaani ay sumagot at nagsabi, Siya'y babaing Moabita na bumalik na kasama ni Noemi na mula sa lupain ng Moab: 7At kaniyang sinabi, Isinasamo ko sa iyong pamulutin mo ako, at papagtipunin sa likuran ng mga mangaani sa gitna ng mga bigkis. Sa gayo'y naparoon siya at nagpatuloy, sa makatuwid baga'y mula sa umaga hanggang ngayon, liban sa siya'y nagpahingang sangdali sa bahay. 8Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Booz kay Ruth, Di mo ba naririnig, anak ko? Huwag kang mamulot sa ibang bukid, o lumagpas man dito, kundi manahan ka ritong malapit sa piling ng aking mga alilang babae. 9Itanaw mo ang iyong mga mata sa bukid na kanilang inaanihan, at sumunod ka sa kanila; di ba ibinilin ko sa mga bataan na huwag ka nilang gagalawin? At pagka ikaw ay nauuhaw, pumaroon ka sa mga banga, at uminom ka sa inigib ng mga bataan. 10Nang magkagayo'y nagpatirapa siya at yumukod sa lupa, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Bakit ako nakasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin na nilingap mo ako, dangang ako'y taga ibang lupa? 11At si Booz ay sumagot at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ipinatalastas sa akin ang buong iyong ginawa sa iyong biyanan mula sa pagkamatay ng iyong asawa: at kung paanong iyong iniwan ang iyong ama at iyong ina, at ang lupang pinanganakan sa iyo, at ikaw ay naparito sa bayan na hindi mo nakilala nang una. 12Gantihin nawa ng Panginoon ang iyong gawa, at bigyan ka nawa ng lubos na ganting pala ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, sa ilalim ng mga pakpak niyaong iyong kakanlungan. 13Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang sinabi, Makasumpong nawa ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, panginoon ko; sapagka't ako'y iyong inaliw, at sapagka't may kagandahang loob na pinagsalitaan mo ang iyong lingkod, bagaman ako'y hindi gaya ng isa sa iyong mga alila. 14At sa pagkain ay sinabi ni Booz sa kaniya, Parito ka, at kumain ka ng tinapay, at basain mo ang iyong subo sa suka. At siya'y umupo sa siping ng mga mangaani: at iniabot niya sa kaniya, ang sinangag na trigo, at siya'y kumain, at nabusog, at lumabis. 15At nang siya'y tumindig upang mamulot, ay iniutos ni Booz sa kaniyang mga bataan, na sinasabi, Pamulutin ninyo siya hanggang sa gitna ng mga bigkis, at huwag ninyo siyang hiyain. 16At ihugot din ninyo siya ng ilan sa mga bigkis, at iwan ninyo at pamulutin niya, at huwag ninyong hiyain siya. 17Sa gayo'y namulot siya sa bukid hanggang sa paglubog ng araw; at kaniyang hinampas yaong kaniyang napamulot, at may isang epa ng sebada. 18At kaniyang dinala at pumasok sa bayan: at nakita ng kaniyang biyanan ang kaniyang napamulot: at kaniyang inilabas at ibinigay sa kaniya ang lumabis sa kaniya pagkatapos na siya'y nabusog. 19At sinabi ng kaniyang biyanan sa kaniya, Saan ka namulot ngayon? at saan ka gumawa? Pagpalain nawa yaong lumingap sa iyo, At itinuro niya sa kaniyang biyanan kung kanino siya gumawa, at sinabi, Ang pangalan ng lalake na aking ginawan ngayon ay Booz. 20At sinabi ni Noemi sa kaniyang manugang: Pagpalain nawa siya ng Panginoon, na hindi ikinait ang kaniyang kagandahang loob sa mga buhay at sa mga patay. At sinabi ni Noemi sa kaniya, Ang lalaking yaon ay isa sa mga kamaganak na malapit natin, isang pinakamalapit na kamaganak natin. 21At sinabi ni Ruth na Moabita, Oo, sinabi niya sa akin, Ikaw ay sumunod na malapit sa aking mga bataan hanggang sa kanilang matapos ang aking ani. 22At sinabi ni Noemi kay Ruth na kaniyang manugang, Mabuti, anak ko, na ikaw ay lumabas na kasama ng kaniyang mga alila, at huwag kang masumpungan sa ibang bukid. 23Sa gayo'y nakipisang maliksi na kasiping ng mga alila ni Booz, upang mamulot hanggang sa katapusan ng pagaani ng sebada at pagaani ng trigo; at siya'y tumahang kasama ng kaniyang biyanan.

1Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz. 2Ruth 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.” 3She 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. 4Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “Yahweh bless you.” 5Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?” 6The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab. 7She 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.” 8Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens. 9Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.” 10Then 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, since I am a foreigner?” 11Boaz 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. 12May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” 13Then 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.” 14At 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 satisfied, and left some of it. 15When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her. 16Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.” 17So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley. 18She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed. 19Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.” 20Naomi 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.” 21Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.’” 22Naomi 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.” 23So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.

1Naomi nu had een bloedvriend van haar man, een man, geweldig van vermogen, van het geslacht van Elimelech; en zijn naam was Boaz. 2En Ruth, de Moabietische, zeide tot Naomi: Laat mij toch in het veld gaan, en van de aren oplezen, achter dien, in wiens ogen ik genade zal vinden. En zij zeide tot haar: Ga heen, mijn dochter! 3Zo ging zij heen, en kwam en las op in het veld, achter de maaiers; en haar viel bij geval voor, een deel van het veld van Boaz, die van het geslacht van Elimelech was. 4En ziet, Boaz kwam van Bethlehem, en zeide tot de maaiers: De HEERE zij met ulieden! En zij zeiden tot hem: De HEERE zegene u! 5Daarna zeide Boaz tot zijn jongen, die over de maaiers gezet was: Wiens is deze jonge vrouw? 6En de jongen, die over de maaiers gezet was, antwoordde en zeide: Deze is de Moabietische jonge vrouw, die met Naomi wedergekomen is uit de velden Moabs; 7En zij heeft gezegd: Laat mij toch oplezen en aren bij de garven verzamelen, achter de maaiers; zo is zij gekomen en heeft gestaan van des morgens af tot nu toe; nu is haar te huis blijven weinig. 8Toen zeide Boaz tot Ruth: Hoort gij niet, mijn dochter? Ga niet, om in een ander veld op te lezen; ook zult gij van hier niet weggaan, maar hier zult gij u houden bij mijn maagden. 9Uw ogen zullen zijn op dit veld, dat zij maaien zullen, en gij zult achter haarlieden gaan; heb ik den jongens niet geboden, dat men u niet aanroere? Als u dorst, zo ga tot de vaten, en drink van hetgeen de jongens zullen geschept hebben. 10Toen viel zij op haar aangezicht, en boog zich ter aarde, en zij zeide tot hem: Waarom heb ik genade gevonden in uw ogen, dat gij mij kent, daar ik een vreemde ben? 11En Boaz antwoordde en zeide tot haar: Het is mij wel aangezegd alles, wat gij bij uw schoonmoeder gedaan hebt, na de dood uws mans, en hebt uw vader en uw moeder, en het land uwer geboorte verlaten, en zijt heengegaan tot een volk, dat gij van te voren niet kendet. 12De HEERE vergelde u uw daad en uw loon zij volkomen, van den HEERE, den God Israels, onder wiens vleugelen gij gekomen zijt om toevlucht te nemen! 13En zij zeide: Laat mij genade vinden in uw ogen, mijn heer, dewijl gij mij getroost hebt, en dewijl gij naar het hart uwer dienstmaagd gesproken hebt, hoewel ik niet ben, gelijk een uwer dienstmaagden. 14Als het nu etenstijd was, zeide Boaz tot haar: Kom hier bij, en eet van het brood, en doop uw bete in den azijn. Zo zat zij neder aan de zijde van de maaiers, en hij langde haar geroost koren, en zij at, en werd verzadigd, en hield over. 15Als zij nu opstond, om op te lezen, zo gebood Boaz zijn jongens, zeggende: Laat haar ook tussen de garven oplezen, en beschaamt haar niet. 16Ja, laat ook allengskens van de handvollen voor haar wat vallen, en laat het liggen, dat zij het opleze, en bestraft haar niet. 17Alzo las zij op in dat veld, tot aan den avond; en zij sloeg uit, wat zij opgelezen had, en het was omtrent een efa gerst. 18En zij nam het op, en kwam in de stad; en haar schoonmoeder zag, wat zij opgelezen had; ook bracht zij voort, en gaf haar, wat zij van haar verzadiging overgehouden had. 19Toen zeide haar schoonmoeder tot haar: Waar hebt gij heden opgelezen, en waar hebt gij gewrocht? Gezegend zij, die u gekend heeft! En zij verhaalde haar schoonmoeder, bij wien zij gewrocht had, en zeide: De naam des mans, bij welken ik heden gewrocht heb, is Boaz. 20Toen zeide Naomi tot haar schoondochter: Gezegend zij den HEERE, Die Zijn weldadigheid niet heeft nagelaten aan de levenden en aan de doden! Voorts zeide Naomi tot haar: Die man is ons nabestaande; hij is een van onze lossers. 21En Ruth, de Moabietische, zeide: Ook, omdat hij tot mij gezegd heeft: Gij zult u houden bij de jongens, die ik heb, totdat zij den gansen oogst, die ik heb, zullen hebben voleindigd. 22En Naomi zeide tot haar schoondochter Ruth: Het is goed, mijn dochter, dat gij met zijn maagden uitgaat, opdat zij u niet tegenvallen in een ander veld. 23Alzo hield zij zich bij de maagden van Boaz, om op te lezen, totdat de gersteoogst en tarweoogst voleindigd waren; en zij bleef bij haar schoonmoeder.
