ΡΟΥΘ - Ruth 2

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και τη νωεμιν ανηρ γνωριμος τω ανδρι αυτης ο δε ανηρ δυνατος ισχυι εκ της συγγενειας αβιμελεχ και ονομα αυτω βοος	1 Naomi had a prominent kinsman named Boaz, of the clan of her husband Elimelech.
2 και ειπεν ρουθ η μωαβιτις προς νωεμιν πορευθω δη εις αγρον και συναξω εν τοις σταχυσιν κατοπισθεν ου εαν ευρω χαριν εν οφθαλμοις αυτου ειπεν δε αυτη πορευου θυγατερ	2 Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, "Let me go and glean ears of grain in the field of anyone who will allow me that favor." Naomi said to her, "Go, my daughter,"
3 και επορευθη και συνελεξεν εν τω αγρω κατοπισθεν των θεριζοντων και περιεπεσεν περιπτωματι τη μεριδι του αγρου βοος του εκ συγγενειας αβιμελεχ	3 and she went. The field she entered to glean after the harvesters happened to be the section belonging to Boaz of the clan of Elimelech.
4 και ιδου βοος ηλθεν εκ βαιθλεεμ και ειπεν τοις θεριζουσιν κυριος μεθ' υμων και ειπον αυτω ευλογησαι σε κυριος	4 Boaz himself came from Bethlehem and said to the harvesters, "The LORD be with you!" and they replied, "The LORD bless you!"
5 και ειπεν βοος τω παιδαριω αυτου τω εφεστωτι επι τους θεριζοντας τινος η νεανις αυτη	5 Boaz asked the overseer of his harvesters, "Whose girl is this?"
6 και απεκριθη το παιδαριον το εφεστος επι τους θεριζοντας και ειπεν η παις η μωαβιτις εστιν η αποστραφεισα μετα νωεμιν εξ αγρου μωαβ	6 The overseer of the harvesters answered, "She is the Moabite girl who returned from the plateau of Moab with Naomi.
7 και ειπεν συλλεξω δη και συναξω εν τοις δραγμασιν οπισθεν των θεριζοντων και ηλθεν και εστη απο πρωιθεν και εως εσπερας ου κατεπαυσεν εν τω αγρω μικρον	7 She asked leave to gather the gleanings into sheaves after the harvesters; and ever since she came this morning she has remained here until now, with scarcely a moment's rest."
8 και ειπεν βοος προς ρουθ ουκ ηκουσας θυγατερ μη πορευθης εν αγρω συλλεξαι ετερω και συ ου πορευση εντευθεν ωδε κολληθητι μετα των κορασιων μου	8 Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen, my daughter! Do not go to glean in anyone else's field; you are not to leave here. Stay here with my women servants.
9 οι οφθαλμοι σου εις τον αγρον ου εαν θεριζωσιν και πορευση κατοπισθεν αυτων ιδου ενετειλαμην τοις παιδαριοις του μη αψασθαι σου και ο τι διψησεις και πορευθηση εις τα σκευη και πιεσαι οθεν αν υδρευωνται τα παιδαρια	9 Watch to see which field is to be harvested, and follow them; I have commanded the young men to do you no harm. When you are thirsty, you may go and drink from the vessels the young men have filled."
10 και επεσεν επι προσωπον αυτης και προσεκυνησεν επι την γην και ειπεν προς αυτον τι οτι ευρον χαριν εν οφθαλμοις σου του επιγνωναι με και εγω ειμι ξενη	10 Casting herself prostrate upon the ground, she said to him, "Why should I, a foreigner, be favored with your notice?"
11 και απεκριθη βοος και ειπεν αυτη απαγγελια απηγγελη μοι οσα πεποιηκας μετα της πενθερας σου μετα το αποθανειν τον ανδρα σου και πως κατελιπες τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου και την γην γενεσεως σου και επορευθης προς λαον ον ουκ ηδεις εχθες και τριτης	11 Boaz answered her: "I have had a complete account of what you have done for your mother-in-law after your husband's death; 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 previously.
12 αποτεισαι κυριος την εργασιαν σου και γενοιτο ο μισθος σου πληρης παρα κυριου θεου ισραηλ προς ον ηλθες πεποιθεναι υπο τας πτερυγας αυτου	12 May the LORD reward what you have done! May you receive a full reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge."
13 η δε ειπεν ευροιμι χαριν εν οφθαλμοις σου κυριε οτι παρεκαλεσας με και οτι ελαλησας επι καρδιαν της δουλης σου και ιδου εγω εσομαι ως μια των παιδισκων σου	13 She said, "May I prove worthy of your kindness, my lord: you have comforted me, your servant, with your consoling words; would indeed that I were a servant of yours!"
14 και ειπεν αυτη βοος ηδη ωρα του φαγειν προσελθε ωδε και φαγεσαι των αρτων και βαψεις τον ψωμον σου εν τω οξει και εκαθισεν ρουθ εκ πλαγιων των θεριζοντων και εβουνισεν αυτη βοος αλφιτον και εφαγεν και ενεπλησθη και κατελιπεν	14 At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come here and have some food; dip your bread in the sauce." Then as she sat near the reapers, he handed her some roasted grain and she ate her fill and had some left over.
15 και ανεστη του συλλεγειν και ενετειλατο βοος τοις παιδαριοις αυτου λεγων και γε ανα μεσον των δραγματων συλλεγετω και μη καταισχυνητε αυτην	15 She rose to glean, and Boaz instructed his servants to let her glean among the sheaves themselves without scolding her,
16 και βασταζοντες βασταξατε αυτη και γε παραβαλλοντες παραβαλειτε αυτη εκ των βεβουνισμενων και αφετε και συλλεξει και ουκ επιτιμησετε αυτη	16 and even to let drop some handfuls and leave them for her to glean without being rebuked.
17 και συνελεξεν εν τω αγρω εως εσπερας και ερραβδισεν α συνελεξεν και εγενηθη ως οιφι κριθων	17 She gleaned in the field until evening, and when she beat out what she had gleaned it came to about an ephah of barley,
18 και ηρεν και εισηλθεν εις την πολιν και ειδεν η πενθερα αυτης α συνελεξεν και εξενεγκασα ρουθ εδωκεν αυτη α κατελιπεν εξ ων ενεπλησθη	18 which she took into the city and showed to her mother-in-law. Next she brought out and gave her what she had left over from lunch.
19 και ειπεν αυτη η πενθερα αυτης που συνελεξας σημερον και που εποιησας ειη ο επιγνους σε ευλογημενος και απηγγειλεν ρουθ τη πενθερα αυτης που εποιησεν και ειπεν το ονομα του ανδρος μεθ' ου εποιησα σημερον βοος	19 So her mother-in-law said to her, "Where did you glean today? Where did you go to work? May he who took notice of you be blessed!" Then she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked. "The man at whose place I worked today is named Boaz," she said.
20 και ειπεν νωεμιν τη νυμφη αυτης ευλογητος εστιν τω κυριω οτι ουκ εγκατελιπεν το ελεος αυτου μετα των ζωντων και μετα των τεθνηκοτων και ειπεν αυτη νωεμιν εγγιζει ημιν ο ανηρ εκ των αγχιστευοντων ημας εστιν	20 "May he be blessed by the LORD, who is ever merciful to the living and to the dead," Naomi exclaimed to her daughter-in-law; and she continued, "He is a relative of ours, one of our next of kin."
21 και ειπεν ρουθ προς την πενθεραν αυτης και γε οτι ειπεν προς με μετα των παιδαριων μου προσκολληθητι εως αν τελεσωσιν ολον τον αμητον ος υπαρχει μοι	21 "He even told me," added Ruth the Moabite, "that I should stay with his servants until they complete his entire harvest."
22 και ειπεν νωεμιν προς ρουθ την νυμφην αυτης αγαθον θυγατερ οτι επορευθης μετα των κορασιων αυτου και ουκ απαντησονται σοι εν αγρω ετερω	22 "You would do well, my dear," Naomi rejoined, "to go out with his servants; for in someone else's field you might be insulted."
23 και προσεκολληθη ρουθ τοις κορασιοις βοος συλλεγειν εως ου συνετελεσεν τον θερισμον των κριθων και των πυρων και εκαθισεν μετα της πενθερας αυτης	23 So she stayed gleaning with the servants of Boaz until the end of the barley and wheat harvests.
