¹And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.

¹Ja Noomil oli ta mehe sugulane, jõukas mees Elimeleki suguvõsast, Boas nimi.

²And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.

²Ja moabi naine Rutt ütles Noomile: 'Lase ma lähen põllule ja nopin viljapäid selle järelt, kelle silmis ma armu leian!' Ja ta vastas temale: 'Mine, mu tütar!'

³And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on the portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

³Ja ta läks ning tuli ja noppis põllul lõikajate järelt; temale juhtus juhuslikult põlluosa, mis kuulus Boasele, kes oli Elimeleki suguvõsast.

⁴And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, Jehovah be with you. And they answered him, Jehovah bless thee.

⁴Ja vaata, Boas tuli Petlemmast ja ütles lõikajaile: 'Issand olgu teiega!' Ja nad vastasid temale: 'Issand õnnistagu sind!'

⁵Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

⁵Siis Boas küsis oma sulaselt, kes oli pandud lõikajate ülevaatajaks: 'Kelle noorik see on?'

⁶And 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:

⁶Ja sulane, kes oli pandud lõikajate ülevaatajaks, vastas ning ütles: 'See noorik on moabi naine, kes koos Noomiga tuli Moabi väljadelt;

⁷And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, save that she tarried a little in the house.

⁷ta palus: Luba ma nopin ja kogun parmaste juurest, lõikajate järelt! Nii ta tuli ja on püsinud hommikust kuni siiani, ta on ainult pisut aega kodus olnud.'

⁸Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.

⁸Siis Boas ütles Rutile: 'Kas kuuled, mu tütar, ära mine teisele põllule noppima ja ära mine ka ära, vaid seltsi siin minu tüdrukutega!

⁹Let 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.

⁹Hoia oma silmad põllul, mida nad lõikavad, ja käi nende järel! Ma olen poisse keelanud sinusse puutumast. Ja kui sul on janu, siis mine lähkrite juurde ja joo, mis poisid toovad!'

¹⁰Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found favor in thy sight, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreigner?

¹⁰Siis Rutt heitis silmili ja kummardas maani ning ütles temale: 'Miks olen ma su silmis armu leidnud, et sa minust hoolid, kuigi olen võõras?'

¹¹And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people that thou knewest not heretofore.

¹¹Ja Boas vastas ning ütles temale: 'Küllap on mulle teada antud kõik, mida sa oma ämmale oled teinud pärast oma mehe surma, ja kuidas sa jätsid maha oma isa ja ema ja oma sünnimaa ja tulid rahva juurde, keda sa enne ei tundnud.

¹²Jehovah recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.

¹²Issand tasugu su tegu ja täielik palk tulgu sulle Issandalt, Iisraeli Jumalalt, kelle tiibade alla sa oled tulnud varjule!'

¹³Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord, for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly unto thy handmaid, though I be not as one of thy handmaidens.

¹³Ja Rutt ütles: 'Ma olen sinu silmis armu leidnud, mu isand, sest sa oled mind trööstinud ja oled rääkinud oma teenijale meelepäraselt, kuigi ma pole ühegi su teenija vääriline.'

¹⁴And at meal-time Boaz said unto her, Come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left thereof.

¹⁴Söögiajal ütles Boas temale: 'Tule siia ja söö seda leiba ja kasta oma paluke äädikasse!' Ja Rutt istus lõikajate kõrvale ja Boas ulatas talle kõrvetatud teri; ja ta sõi, ta kõht sai täis ja teri jäi ülegi.

¹⁵And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not.

¹⁵Kui ta tõusis noppima, siis käskis Boas oma poisse, öeldes: 'Noppigu ta ka parmaste vahelt ja te ei tohi teda häbistada!

¹⁶And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and rebuke her not.

¹⁶Jah, koguni tõmmake temale vihkudest välja ja jätke maha, et ta neid nopiks, ja ärge sõidelge teda!'

¹⁷So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.

¹⁷Nii noppis Rutt põllul kuni õhtuni ja rabas, mis ta oli noppinud, ja sai ligi pool vakka otri.

¹⁸And 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 which she had left after she was sufficed.

¹⁸Ja ta võttis need ja tuli linna ning ta ämm nägi, mis ta oli noppinud; siis ta tõi esile ja andis temale selle, mis jäi üle, kui ta kõht oli täis saanud.

¹⁹And her mother-in-law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz.

¹⁹Ja ta ämm ütles temale: 'Kus sa täna noppisid ja kus sa töötasid? Olgu õnnistatud see, kes sinust hoolis!' Siis ta jutustas oma ämmale, kelle juures ta oli töötanud, ja ütles: 'Selle mehe nimi, kelle juures ma täna töötasin, on Boas.'

²⁰And Naomi said unto her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is nigh of kin unto us, one of our near kinsmen.

²⁰Ja Noomi ütles oma miniale: 'Õnnistagu teda Issand, kes pole loobunud oma heldusest elavate ja surnute vastu!' Ja Noomi ütles temale: 'See mees on meie lähem sugulane, ta on üks meie suguvõsa lunastajaid.'

²¹And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yea, he said unto me, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.

²¹Siis ütles moabi naine Rutt: 'Ta ütles mulle veel: Jää mu sulaste seltsi, kes mul on, seni kui nad on lõpetanud kogu mu lõikuse!'

²²And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they meet thee not in any other field.

²²Ja Noomi ütles Rutile, oma miniale: 'See on hea, mu tütar, et sa koos tema tüdrukutega välja lähed, siis ei tülitata sind teisel põllul.'

²³So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz, to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.

²³Nii jäi Rutt Boase tüdrukute seltsi noppima, kuni lõppes odra- ja nisulõikus; ja ta elas oma ämma juures.
