¹Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?

¹Ja ta ämm Noomi ütles temale: 'Mu tütar, kas ma ei peaks otsima sulle varjupaika, et su käsi võiks käia hästi?

²Now isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing floor.

²Ja eks ole nüüd Boas, kelle tüdrukutega sa oled koos olnud, meie sugulane? Vaata, ta tuulab täna öösel odrareht.

³Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor, but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

³Pese siis ennast ja võia ennast ning riietu ja mine alla rehealusesse; aga ära lase, et mees sind märkaks, enne kui ta söömise ja joomise on lõpetanud.

⁴It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lay down; then he will tell you what you shall do.”

⁴Aga kui ta heidab magama, siis pane tähele paika, kus ta magab, ja mine tõsta üles ta jalgade kate ja heida magama; siis ta ütleb sulle, mis sa pead tegema.'

⁵She said to her, “All that you say I will do.”

⁵Ja Rutt vastas temale: 'Ma teen kõik, mis sa mulle ütled.'

⁶She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her.

⁶Ja ta läks alla rehealusesse ning tegi kõik nõnda, nagu ta ämm oli käskinud.

⁷When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came softly, uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

⁷Ja kui Boas oli söönud ja joonud ja ta süda oli rõõmus, siis ta läks magama viljahunniku äärde; ja Rutt tuli hiljukesi, tõstis üles jalgade katte ning heitis magama.

⁸It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.

⁸Aga keskööl mees võpatas ja pööras end, ja vaata, naine magas ta jalgade juures.

⁹He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread your skirt over your handmaid; for you are a near kinsman.”

⁹Ja ta küsis: 'Kes sa oled?' Ja naine vastas: 'Mina olen Rutt, su teenija. Laota hõlm oma teenija peale, sest sina oled suguvõsa lunastaja!'

¹⁰He said, “Blessed are you by Yahweh, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn’t follow young men, whether poor or rich.

¹⁰Siis ta ütles: 'Õnnistagu sind Issand, mu tütar! Sa oled nüüd viimaks osutanud oma armastust paremini kui varem, et sa ei ole järele jooksnud noortele meestele, olgu nad vaesed või rikkad.

¹¹Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.

¹¹Ja nüüd, mu tütar, ära karda; kõik, mida sa soovid, ma teen sulle, sest mu rahva väravas teab igaüks, et sa oled tubli naine!

¹²Now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is a kinsman nearer than I.

¹²On ju nüüd küll tõsi, et ma olen su suguvõsa lunastaja, aga on ka lunastaja, kes on ligem kui mina.

¹³Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part. But if he will not do the part of a kinsman for you, then will I do the part of a kinsman for you, as Yahweh lives. Lie down until the morning.”

¹³Jää selleks ööks siia, ja kui ta hommikul tahab sind lunastada, hea küll, siis lunastagu! Aga kui ta ei soovi sind lunastada, siis lunastan mina sind, nii tõesti kui Issand elab. Maga hommikuni!'

¹⁴She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”

¹⁴Ja Rutt magas tema jalgade juures hommikuni, aga tõusis enne, kui keegi teist võis tunda; ja Boas ütles: 'Ärgu saagu teatavaks, et naine on tulnud siia rehealusesse!'

¹⁵He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he went into the city.

¹⁵Ja ta ütles: 'Anna suurrätik, mis sul üll on, ja hoia see lahti!' Ja ta hoidis seda. Siis Boas mõõtis kuus mõõtu otri ja pani temale selga; ja ta läks linna.

¹⁶When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?” She told her all that the man had done to her.

¹⁶Ja Rutt tuli oma ämma juurde ning see küsis: 'Kuidas sul läks, mu tütar?' Ja ta jutustas temale kõik, mis mees oli temale teinud,

¹⁷She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go empty to your mother-in-law.’”

¹⁷ja ütles: 'Ta andis mulle need kuus mõõtu otri, sest ta ütles: Ära mine oma ämma juurde tühje käsi!'

¹⁸Then she said, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day.”

¹⁸Ja ämm ütles: 'Jää siia, mu tütar, kuni sa saad teada, kuidas asi õnnestub, sest see mees ei puhka enne, kui on täna asja toime saatnud!'
