Ruth liest Ähren auf bei Boas
2 Nun hatte Naemi einen Verwandten ihres Mannes, der war ein sehr angesehener Mann[a] aus dem Geschlecht Elimelechs, und sein Name war Boas[b].
2 Ruth aber, die Moabiterin, sprach zu Naemi: Lass mich doch aufs Feld hinausgehen und Ähren auflesen bei dem, in dessen Augen ich Gnade finde! Da sprach sie zu ihr: Geh hin, meine Tochter!
3 Und so ging sie hin, kam und las Ähren auf dem Feld hinter den Schnittern her. Es traf sich aber, dass jenes Stück Feld dem Boas gehörte, der aus dem Geschlecht Elimelechs war.
4 Und siehe, Boas kam von Bethlehem her und sprach zu den Schnittern: Der Herr sei mit euch! Und sie antworteten ihm: Der Herr segne dich!
5 Und Boas fragte seinen Knecht, der über die Schnitter bestellt war: Zu wem gehört diese junge Frau?
6 Und der Knecht, der über die Schnitter bestellt war, antwortete und sprach: Das ist die moabitische junge Frau, die mit Naemi aus dem Gebiet von Moab zurückgekommen ist.
7 Und sie hat gesagt: Lass mich doch auflesen und zwischen den Garben sammeln hinter den Schnittern her! Und sie kam und blieb vom Morgen an bis jetzt; sie bleibt nicht lange zu Hause sitzen!
8 Da sprach Boas zu Ruth: Hörst du, meine Tochter? Du sollst auf keinen anderen Acker gehen, um aufzulesen; und begib dich auch nicht weg von hier, sondern halte dich da zu meinen Mägden.
9 Dein Auge sei auf das Feld gerichtet, wo sie schneiden, und geh hinter ihnen her! Habe ich nicht den Knechten geboten, dass dich niemand antasten soll? Und wenn du Durst hast, so geh hin zu den Gefäßen und trinke von dem, was die Knechte schöpfen!
10 Da fiel sie auf ihr Angesicht und neigte sich zur Erde und sprach: Warum habe ich vor deinen Augen Gnade gefunden, dass du dich um mich kümmerst, da ich doch eine Fremde bin?
11 Da antwortete Boas und sprach zu ihr: Es ist mir alles erzählt worden, was du an deiner Schwiegermutter getan hast nach dem Tod deines Mannes, wie du deinen Vater und deine Mutter und dein Heimatland[c] verlassen hast und zu einem Volk gezogen bist, das du zuvor nicht kanntest.
12 Der Herr vergelte dir deine Tat, und dir werde voller Lohn zuteil von dem Herrn, dem Gott Israels, zu dem du gekommen bist, um Zuflucht zu suchen unter seinen Flügeln!
13 Und sie sprach: Mein Herr, lass mich Gnade finden vor deinen Augen; denn du hast mich getröstet und deiner Magd freundlich zugesprochen,[d] obwohl ich doch nicht [einmal] wie eine deiner Mägde bin!
14 Und zur Essenszeit sprach Boas zu ihr: Komm her und iss von dem Brot und tunke deinen Bissen in den Essig[e]! Und sie setzte sich neben die Schnitter. Er aber gab ihr geröstetes Korn, und sie aß und wurde satt und ließ übrig.
15 Und als sie wieder aufstand, um Ähren aufzulesen, gebot Boas seinen Knechten und sprach: Lasst sie auch zwischen den Garben auflesen und tut ihr nichts zuleide!
16 Und ihr sollt auch aus den [Ähren-]Bündeln etwas für sie herausziehen und es liegen lassen, damit sie es auflesen kann, und ihr sollt sie deswegen nicht schelten!
17 So las sie auf dem Feld bis zum Abend; und als sie ausgeklopft hatte, was sie aufgelesen hatte, war es etwa ein Epha[f] Gerste.
18 Und sie hob es auf und trug es in die Stadt; und ihre Schwiegermutter sah, was sie aufgelesen hatte; dazu zog sie heraus, was sie übrig gelassen hatte, nachdem sie satt geworden war, und gab es ihr.
19 Und ihre Schwiegermutter sprach zu ihr: Wo hast du heute aufgelesen, und wo hast du gearbeitet? Gesegnet sei, der sich um dich gekümmert hat! Da sagte sie ihrer Schwiegermutter, bei wem sie gearbeitet hatte, und sprach: Der Mann, bei dem ich heute gearbeitet habe, heißt Boas!
20 Da sprach Naemi zu ihrer Schwiegertochter: Gesegnet sei er von dem Herrn, der seine Gnade den Lebendigen und den Toten nicht entzogen hat! Und Naemi sagte ihr: Der Mann ist mit uns nahe verwandt, er gehört zu unseren Lösern[g].
21 Und Ruth, die Moabiterin, sprach: Er sagte auch das zu mir: Du sollst dich zu meinen Knechten halten, bis sie mit meiner ganzen Ernte fertig sind!
22 Und Naemi sprach zu ihrer Schwiegertochter Ruth: Es ist gut, meine Tochter, wenn du mit seinen Mägden ausgehst und man dich nicht auf einem anderen Acker belästigt!
23 So hielt sie sich bei der Ährenlese zu den Mägden des Boas, bis die Gersten- und Weizenernte vollendet war. Und sie wohnte bei ihrer Schwiegermutter.

New King James Version
Ruth Meets Boaz
2 There was a (A)relative of Naomi’s husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of (B)Elimelech. His name was (C)Boaz. 2 So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the (D)field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor.”
And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 Now behold, Boaz came from (E)Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, (F)“The Lord be with you!”
And they answered him, “The Lord bless you!”
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”
6 So the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered and said, “It is the young Moabite woman (G)who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. 7 And she said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came and has continued from morning until now, though she rested a little in the house.”
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women. 9 Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn.”
10 So she (H)fell on her face, bowed down to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found (I)favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?”
11 And Boaz answered and said to her, “It has been fully reported to me, (J)all that you have done for 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 whom you did not know before. 12 (K)The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, (L)under whose wings you have come for refuge.”
13 Then she said, (M)“Let me find favor in your sight, my lord; for you have comforted me, and have spoken [a]kindly to your maidservant, (N)though I am not like one of your maidservants.”
14 Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, “Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.” So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed parched grain to her; and she ate and (O)was satisfied, and kept some back. 15 And when she rose up to [b]glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not [c]reproach her. 16 Also let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her; leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of (P)barley. 18 Then she took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. So she brought out and gave to her (Q)what she had kept back after she had been satisfied.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? And where did you work? Blessed be the one who (R)took notice of you.”
So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
20 Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, (S)“Blessed be he of the Lord, who (T)has not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead!” And Naomi said to her, “This man is a relation of ours, (U)one of [d]our close relatives.”
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also said to me, ‘You shall stay close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’ ”
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not [e]meet you in any other field.” 23 So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.

Nakilala ni Ruth si Boaz
2 1-3 Isang araw, sinabi ni Ruth kay Naomi, “Gusto ko po sanang pumunta sa bukid at mamulot[a] ng mga nalaglag na uhay mula sa mga tagapag-ani sa bukid ng taong magpapahintulot sa akin.” Sumagot si Naomi, “O sige anak.” Kaya umalis si Ruth at namulot ng mga nalaglag mula sa mga tagapag-ani. Nagkataon na doon siya namulot sa bukid ni Boaz na kamag-anak ni Elimelec. Si Boaz ay mayaman at makapangyarihan.
4 Habang nandoon si Ruth ay dumating si Boaz mula sa Betlehem at binati ang mga tagapag-ani, “Sumainyo nawa ang Panginoon!” Sumagot ang mga tagapag-ani, “Pagpalain nawa kayo ng Panginoon!” 5 Tinanong ni Boaz ang kanyang katiwala na nangangasiwa sa mga tagapag-ani, “Sino ang dalagang iyan?” 6 Sumagot ang katiwala, “Isa po siyang Moabita na sumama kay Naomi na bumalik mula sa Moab. 7 Nakiusap siya sa akin na payagan ko siyang mamulot ng mga uhay na nalaglag mula sa mga tagapag-ani. Mula kaninang umaga tuloy-tuloy ang pagtatrabaho niya hanggang ngayon. Nagpahinga lang siya ng sandali sa kubol.”[b] 8 Sinabi ni Boaz kay Ruth, “Anak, makinig ka. Huwag ka nang pumunta sa ibang bukid para mamulot ng mga nalaglag. Dito ka na lang mamulot kasama ng mga utusan kong babae. 9 Tingnan mo kung saan nag-aani ang mga tauhan ko at sumunod ka sa mga utusan kong babae. Sinabihan ko na ang mga tauhan ko na huwag kang galawin. At kapag nauhaw ka, uminom ka lang sa mga tapayan na inigiban ng mga tauhan ko.”
10 Nagpatirapa si Ruth sa harapan ni Boaz bilang paggalang at sinabi, “Bakit napakabuti nʼyo po sa akin gayong isang dayuhan lang ako?” 11 Sumagot si Boaz, “May nagkwento sa akin ng lahat ng ginawa mo para sa biyenan mong babae mula pa noong namatay ang asawa mo. Iniwan mo raw ang iyong ama at ina at ang bayang sinilangan mo para manirahang kasama ng mga taong hindi mo kilala. 12 Pagpalain ka nawa ng Panginoon dahil sa iyong ginawa. Malaking gantimpala nawa ang matanggap mo mula sa Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, na siyang pinagkanlungan mo.” 13 Sinabi ni Ruth, “Napakabuti po ninyo sa akin. Pinalakas ninyo ang loob ko at sinabihan ng mabuti kahit hindi ako isa sa mga utusan ninyo.”
14 Nang oras na para kumain, sinabi ni Boaz kay Ruth, “Halika, kumuha ka ng pagkain at isawsaw mo sa suka.” Kaya naupo si Ruth kasama ng mga tagapag-ani, at inabutan siya ni Boaz ng binusa na trigo. Kumain siya hanggang sa nabusog, at may natira pa siya. 15 Nang tumayo na si Ruth para mamulot ulit ng mga nalaglag na uhay, nag-utos si Boaz sa mga tauhan niya, “Huwag ninyong hihiyain si Ruth kahit mamulot pa siya malapit sa mga binigkis na uhay.[c] 16 Kumuha kayo ng mga uhay sa mga binigkis at iwan para sa kanya, at huwag nʼyo siyang sasawayin.”
17 Kaya namulot si Ruth ng mga nalaglag na uhay hanggang sa lumubog ang araw. At nang magiik na niya ang naipon niyang sebada[d] ay umabot ito ng mga kalahating sako. 18 Dinala niya ito pauwi sa bayan at ipinakita sa kanyang biyenan[e] na si Naomi. Pagkatapos kinuha niya ang natira niyang pagkain at ibinigay kay Naomi. 19 Nagtanong si Naomi sa kanya, “Saan ka namulot ng mga nalaglag na uhay kanina? Kaninong bukirin? Pagpalain nawa ang taong nagmagandang-loob sa iyo!”
Ikinuwento ni Ruth kay Naomi na doon siya namulot sa bukid ng taong ang pangalan ay Boaz. 20 Sinabi ni Naomi kay Ruth, “Pagpalain nawa ng Panginoon si Boaz. Ipinapakita niya ang kanyang kabutihan sa mga taong buhay pa at sa mga patay na.” At sinabi pa niya, “Si Boaz na sinasabi mo ay malapit nating kamag-anak; isa siya sa may tungkuling mangalaga sa atin.”
21 Sinabi ni Ruth kay Naomi, “Sinabi pa po ni Boaz sa akin na sa mga tauhan lang niya ako sumama sa pamumulot hanggang matapos ang lahat ng mga aanihin niya.” 22 Sinabi naman ni Naomi kay Ruth, “Anak, mabuti nga na sa mga utusan niyang babae ka sumama, dahil baka kung ano pa ang mangyari sa iyo sa ibang bukid.”
23 Kaya sumama si Ruth sa mga utusang babae ni Boaz sa pamumulot ng mga nalaglag na uhay hanggang sa matapos ang anihan ng sebada at trigo. At patuloy siyang nanirahan kasama ng biyenan niya.

Ruth 2
King James Version
2 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
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.
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.
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they answered him, The Lord bless thee.
5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
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:
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.
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:
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
