1
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
Καὶ τῇ Νωεμὶν ἀνὴρ γνώριμος τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς, ὁ δὲ ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἰσχύϊ ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Ἐλιμέλεχ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Βοόζ.
2
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
Καὶ εἶπε Ῥοὺθ ἡ Μωαβίτις πρὸς Νωεμὶν, πορεῦθω δὴ εἰς ἀγρὸν, καὶ συνάξω ἐν τοῖς στάχυσι κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐὰν εὕρω χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ. εἶπε δὲ αὐτῇ, πορεύου, θύγατερ.
3
And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη· καὶ ἐλθοῦσα συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ κατόπισθε τῶν θεριζόντων· καὶ περιέπεσε περιπτώματι τῇ μερίδι τοῦ ἀγροῦ Βοὸζ, τοῦ ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Ἐλιμέλεχ.
4
And, behold, Boaz came from Beth–lehem, and said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they answered him, The Lord bless thee.
Καὶ ἰδοὺ Βοὸζ ἦλθεν ἐκ Βηθλεὲμ, καὶ εἶπε τοῖς θερίζουσι, Κύριος μεθʼ ὑμῶν· καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ, εὐλογήσαι σε Κύριος.
5
Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
Καὶ εἶπε Βοὸζ τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐφεστῶτι ἐπὶ τοὺς θερίζοντας, τίνος ἡ νεᾶνις αὕτη;
6
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:
Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ παιδάριον τὸ ἐφεστὸς ἐπὶ τοὺς θερίζοντας, καὶ εἶπεν, ἡ παῖς ἡ Μωαβίτις ἐστὶν ἡ ἀποστραφεῖσα μετὰ Νωεμὶν ἐξ ἀγροῦ Μωάβ·
7
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.
Καὶ εἶπε, συλλέξω δὴ καὶ συνάξω ἐν τοῖς δράγμασιν ὄπισθεν τῶν θεριζόντων· καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἔστη ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν καὶ ἕως ἑσπέρας, οὐ κατέπαυσεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ μικρόν.
8
Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:
Καὶ εἶπε Βοὸζ πρὸς Ῥοὺθ, οὐκ ἤκουσας θύγατερ; μὴ πορευθῇς ἐν ἀγρῷ συλλέξαι ἑτέρῳ· καὶ σὺ οὐ πορεύσῃ ἐντεῦθεν, ὧδε κολλήθητι μετὰ τῶν κορασίων μου.
9
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.
Οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν οὗ ἐὰν θερίζωσι, καὶ πορεύσῃ κατόπισθεν αὐτῶν· ἰδοὺ ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς παιδαρίοις τοῦ μὴ ἅψασθαί σου· καὶ ὅτε διψήσεις καὶ πορευθήσῃ εἰς τὰ σκεύη, καὶ πίεσαι ὅθεν ἐὰν ὑδρεύωνται τὰ παιδάρια.
10
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
Καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς, καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν, τί ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναί με, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ξένη;
11
And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed 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.
Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βοὸζ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, ἀπαγγελίᾳ 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 γενέσεώς σου, καὶ ἐπορεύθης πρὸς λαὸν ὃν οὐκ ᾔδεις ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης.
12
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.
Ἀποτίσαι Κύριος τὴν ἐργασίαν σου· γένοιτο ὁ μισθός σου πλήρης παρὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, πρὸς ὃν ἦλθες πεποιθέναι ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ.
13
Then she said, Let me find favour 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 thine handmaidens.
Ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, εὕροιμι 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.
14
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.
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Βοὸζ, ἤδη ὥρα τοῦ φαγεῖν, πρόσελθε ὧδε καὶ φάγεσαι τῶν ἄρτων, καὶ βάψεις τὸν ψωμόν σου ἐν τῷ ὄξει· καὶ ἐκάθισε Ῥοὺθ ἐκ πλαγίων τῶν θεριζόντων· καὶ ἐβούνισεν αὐτῇ Βοὸζ ἄλφιτον, καὶ ἔφαγε καὶ ἐνεπλήσθη καὶ κατέλιπε,
15
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:
Καὶ ἀνέστη τοῦ συλλέγειν· καὶ ἐνετείλατο Βοὸζ τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ, λέγων, καί γε ἀναμέσον τῶν δραγμάτων συλλεγέτω, καὶ μὴ καταισχύνητε αὐτήν·
16
And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
Καὶ βαστάζοντες βαστάσατε αὐτῇ, καί γε παραβάλλοντες παραβαλεῖτε αὐτῇ ἐκ τῶν βεβουνισμένων, καὶ φάγεται, καὶ συλλέξει, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιτιμήσετε αὐτῇ.
17
So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
Καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ἕως ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἐῤῥάβδισεν ἃ συνέλεξε, καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς οἰφὶ κριθῶν.
18
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.
Καὶ ᾖρε καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν· καὶ εἶδεν ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς ἃ συνέλεξε· καὶ ἐξενέγκασα Ῥοὺθ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ ἃ κατέλιπεν ἐξ ὧν ἐνεπλήσθη.
19
And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς, ποῦ συνέλεξας σήμερον καὶ ποῦ ἐποίησας; εἴη ὁ ἐπιγνούς σε εὐλογημένος· καὶ ἀνήγγειλε Ῥοὺθ τῇ πενθερᾷ αὐτῆς ποῦ ἐποίησε, καὶ εἶπε, τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἀνδρὸς μεθʼ οὗ ἐποίησα σήμερον Βοόζ.
20
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.
Εἶπε δὲ Νωεμὶν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτῆς, εὐλογητός ἐστι τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπε τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ζώντων καὶ μετὰ τῶν τεθνηκότων· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Νωεμὶν, ἐγγίζει ἡμῖν ὁ ἀνὴρ, ἐκ τῶν ἀγχιστευόντων ἡμῖν ἐστι.
21
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.
Καὶ εἶπε Ῥοὺθ πρὸς τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς, καί γε ὅτι εἶπε πρὸς μέ, μετὰ τῶν κορασίων τῶν ἐμῶν προσκολλήθητι, ἕως ἂν τελέσωσιν ὅλον τὸν ἀμητὸν ὃς ὑπάρχει μοι.
22
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.
Καὶ εἶπε Νωεμὶν πρὸς Ῥοὺθ τὴν νύμφην αὐτῆς, ἀγαθὸν θύγατερ, ὅτι ἐξῆλθες μετὰ τῶν κορασίων αὐτου, καὶ οὐκ ἀπαντήσονταί σοι ἐν ἀγρῷ ἑτέρῳ.
23
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.
Καὶ προσεκολλήθη Ῥοὺθ τοῖς κορασίοις τοῦ Βοὸζ τοῦ συλλέγειν, ἕως τοῦ συντελέσαι τὸν θερισμὸν τῶν κριθῶν καὶ τῶν πυρῶν.
