¹Naomi 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.

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.”

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!'

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.

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

⁴Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “Yahweh bless you.”

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

⁵Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”

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

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.

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

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.”

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 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.

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

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.”

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 to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since 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?'

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.

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.

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.”

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 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.”

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.'

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.

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.

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.

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

¹⁶Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”

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

¹⁷So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel of barley.

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.'

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.”

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.'

²¹Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to 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!'

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.”

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 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.

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