Ruth 2

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 Naomi had a kinsman on her husband's side, wel -to-do and of Elimelech's clan. His name was Boaz.	1 Ειχε δε η Ναομι συγγενη τινα του ανδρος αυτης, ανθρωπον δυνατον εν ισχυι, εκ της συγγενειας του Ελιμελεχ? και το ονομα αυτου Βοοζ.
2 Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, 'Let me go into the fields and glean ears of corn in the footsteps ofsome man who will look on me with favour.' She replied, 'Go, daughter.'	2 Και ειπεν η Ρουθ η Μωαβιτις προς την Ναομι, Ας υπαγω, παρακαλω, εις τον αγρον δια να συναξω ασταχυα κατοπιν ουτινος ευρω χαριν εις τους οφθαλμους? και ειπε προς αυτην, Υπαγε, θυγατηρ μου.
3 So she set out and went to glean in the fields behind the reapers. Chance led her to a plot of landbelonging to Boaz of Elimelech's clan.	3 Και υπηγε και ελθουσα εσταχυολογει εν τω αγρω κατοπιν των θεριστων? και ετυχεν εν μερει του αγρου του Βοοζ, οστις ητο εκ της συγγενειας του Ελιμελεχ.
4 Boaz, as it happened, had just come from Bethlehem. 'Yahweh be with you!' he said to the reapers.'Yahweh bless you!' they replied.	4 Και ιδου, ο Βοοζ ηλθεν εκ Βηθλεεμ και ειπε προς τους θεριστας, Κυριος μεθ' υμων. Και απεκριθησαν προς αυτον, Κυριος να σε ευλογηση.
5 Boaz said to a servant of his who was in charge of the reapers, 'To whom does this young womanbelong?'	5 Τοτε ειπεν ο Βοοζ προς τον υπηρετην αυτου, τον επιστατην των θεριστων, Τινος ειναι η νεα αυτη;
6 And the servant in charge of the reapers replied, 'The girl is the Moabitess, the one who came back withNaomi from the Plains of Moab.	6 Και ο υπηρετης ο επιστατης των θεριστων απεκριθη και ειπεν, ειναι η νεα η Μωαβιτις, η επιστρεψασα μετα της Ναομι εκ γης Μωαβ?
7 She said, "Please let me glean and pick up what fal s from the sheaves behind the reapers." Thus shecame, and here she stayed, with hardly a rest from morning until now.'	7 και ειπεν, Ας σταχυολογησω, παρακαλω, και ας συναξω τι μεταξυ των δεματιων κατοπιν των θεριστων? και ηλθε και εσταθη απο πρωιας εως ταυτης της ωρας? ολιγον μονον ανεπαυθη εν τη οικια.
8 Boaz said to Ruth, 'Listen to me, daughter. You must not go gleaning in any other field. You must not goaway from here. Stay close to my work-women.	8 Και ειπεν ο Βοοζ προς την Ρουθ, Δεν ακουεις, θυγατηρ μου; μη υπαγης να σταχυολογησης εν αλλω αγρω, μηδε να αναχωρησης εντευθεν, αλλα μενε ενταυθα μετα των κορασιων μου?
9 Keep your eyes on whatever part of the field they are reaping and fol ow behind. I have forbidden mymen to molest you. And if you are thirsty, go to the pitchers and drink what the servants have drawn.'	9 ας ηναι οι οφθαλμοι σου επι τον αγρον οπου θεριζουσι, και υπαγε κατοπιν αυτων? δεν προσεταξα εγω εις τους νεους να μη σε εγγισωσι; και οταν διψησης υπαγε εις τα αγγεια και πινε απο ο, τι αντλησωσιν οι νεοι.
10 Ruth fel on her face, prostrated herself and said, 'How have I attracted your favour, for you to noticeme, who am only a foreigner?'	10 Η δε επεσε κατα προσωπον και προσεκυνησεν εως εδαφους και ειπε προς αυτον, Πως εγω ευρηκα χαριν εις τους οφθαλμους σου, ωστε να λαβης προνοιαν περι εμου, ενω ειμαι ξενη;
11 Boaz replied, 'I have been told al about the way you have behaved to your mother-in-law since yourhusband's death, and how you left your own father and mother and the land where you were born to come to apeople of whom you previously knew nothing.	11 Και ο Βοοζ απεκριθη και ειπε προς αυτην, Ανηγγελθησαν προς εμε ακριβως παντα οσα εκαμες εις την πενθεραν σου μετα τον θανατον του ανδρος σου? και οτι αφηκας τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου και την γην της γεννησεως σου, και ηλθες προς λαον, τον οποιον δεν εγνωριζες προτερον?
12 May Yahweh repay you for what you have done, and may you be richly rewarded by Yahweh, the Godof Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge!'	12 ο Κυριος να ανταμειψη το εργον σου, και ο μισθος σου να ηναι πληρης παρα Κυριου του Θεου του Ισραηλ, υπο τας πτερυγας του οποιου ηλθες να σκεπασθης.
13 She said, 'My lord, I hope you wil always look on me with favour! You have comforted and encouragedme, though I am not even the equal of one of your work-women.'	13 Η δε ειπεν, Ας ευρω χαριν εις τους οφθαλμους σου, κυριε μου? επειδη με παρηγορησας και επειδη ελαλησας ευμενως προς την δουλην σου, αν και εγω δεν ειμαι ουδε ως μια των θεραπαινιδων σου.
14 When it was time to eat, Boaz said to her, 'Come and eat some of this bread and dip your piece in thevinegar.' Ruth sat down beside the reapers and Boaz made a heap of roasted grain for her; she ate til herhunger was satisfied, and she had some left over.	14 Και ειπε προς αυτην ο Βοοζ την ωραν του φαγητου, Ελθε και φαγε εκ του αρτου και βρεξον το ψωμιον σου εις το οξος. Και αυτη εκαθισεν εις τα πλαγια των θεριστων? εκεινος δε εδωκεν εις αυτην σιτον πεφρυγανισμενον, και εφαγε και εχορτασθη και επερισσευσε.
15 When she had got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his work-people, 'Let her glean among thesheaves themselves. Do not molest her.	15 Και εσηκωθη να σταχυολογηση, και προσεταξεν ο Βοοζ εις τους νεους αυτου, λεγων, Και μεταξυ των δεματιων ας σταχυολογη, και μη επιπληττετε αυτην?
16 And be sure you pull a few ears of corn out of the bundles and drop them. Let her glean them, and donot scold her.'	16 και μαλιστα αφινετε να πιπτη τι απο των χειροβολων δια αυτην και αφινετε να συλλεγη και μη ελεγχετε αυτην.
17 So she gleaned in the field till evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned and it came to abouta bushel of barley.	17 Και εσταχυολογησεν εν τω αγρω εως εσπερας και εκοπανισεν οσον εσταχυολογησε? και ητο εως εν εφα κριθης.
18 Taking it with her, she went back to the town. Her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. Ruth alsotook out what she had kept after eating al she wanted, and gave that to her.	18 Και εσηκωσεν αυτο και εισηλθεν εις την πολιν? και ειδεν η πενθερα αυτης οσον εσταχυολογησε? και εκβαλουσα η Ρουθ, εδωκεν εις αυτην ο, τι ειχε περισσευσει αφου εχορτασθη.
19 Her mother-in-law said, 'Where have you been gleaning today? Where have you been working?Blessed be the man who took notice of you!' Ruth told her mother-in-law in whose field she had been working.'The name of the man with whom I have been working today', she said, 'is Boaz.'	19 Και ειπε προς αυτην η πενθερα αυτης, Που εσταχυολογησας σημερον; και που εδουλευσας; ευλογημενος να ηναι εκεινος οστις ελαβε προνοιαν περι σου. Και εκεινη εφανερωσε προς την πενθεραν αυτης εις τινος αγρον εδουλευσε και ειπε, το ονομα του ανθρωπου, εις τον οποιον εδουλευσα σημερον, ειναι Βοοζ.
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, 'May he be blessed by Yahweh who does not withhold his faithfullove from living or dead! This man', Naomi added, 'is a close relation of ours. He is one of those who have theright of redemption over us.'	20 Και ειπεν η Ναομι προς την νυμφην αυτης, Ευλογημενος παρα Κυριου εκεινος οστις δεν αφηκε το ελεος αυτου προς τους ζωντας και προς τους τεθνεωτας. Και ειπε προς αυτην η Ναομι, Συγγενης ημων ειναι ο ανθρωπος ουτος εκ των πλησιον συγγενων ημων.
21 Ruth the Moabitess said to her mother-in-law, 'He also said, "Stay with my work-people until they havefinished my whole harvest." '	21 Και ειπεν η Ρουθ η Μωαβιτις, Αυτος με ειπε προσετι, Συ θελεις μενει μετα των ανθρωπων μου, εωσου τελειωσωσιν ολον τον θερισμον μου.
22 Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, 'It is better for you, daughter, to go with his work-women thanto go to some other field where you might be il -treated.'	22 Και ειπεν η Ναομι προς την Ρουθ την νυμφην αυτης, Ειναι καλον, θυγατηρ μου, να εκβαινης μετα των κορασιων αυτου, και να μη σε απαντησωσιν εν αλλω αγρω.
23 So she stayed with Boaz's work-women, and gleaned until the barley and wheat harvests werefinished. And she went on living with her mother-in-law.	23 Και προσεκολληθη εις τα κορασια του Βοοζ δια να σταχυολογη, εωσου τελειωση ο θερισμος των κριθων και ο θερισμος του σιτου? και εκαθητο μετα της πενθερας αυτης.
