Ruth

Chapter 3

1 THEN Naomi said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?

2 And, behold, Boaz is our kinsman, with whose maidens you were; and behold, he is going to winnow barley tonight in the threshing floor.

3 Wash yourself therefore, and anoint yourself, and put on your best garments, and go down to the threshing floor; but do not show yourself to him until he has finished eating and drinking.

4 And it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall remember the place where he lies, and you shall draw near and lie down near his feet; and he will tell you what you shall do.

5 And she said to her, All that you say to me I will do.

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

7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went and lay at the side of the threshing floor; and while he was in deep sleep in the threshing floor, she came secretly and lifted the end of his robe and lay down near his feet.

8 And it came to pass at midnight that the man woke up and was startled when he saw a woman lying at his feet.

9 And he said to her, Who are you? And she answered, I am Ruth, your handmaid; cover therefore your maidservant with the end of your robe, for you are a near kinsman.

10 And Boaz said to her, Blessed be you of the LORD, my daughter; for you have shown more kindness in the latter days than at the beginning of your life in that you have not gone after young men, whether rich or poor.

11 And now, my daughter, fear not; for I will do for you all that you ask of me; for all the family of our people know that you are a virtuous woman.

12 And now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however, there is another kinsman nearer than I.

13 Now, tarry this night and lodge here till dawn, and it shall be in the morning, if he will perform to you the part of a kinsman, well, let him do it; but if he is unwilling to do the part of a kinsman to you, then, as the LORD lives, if he does not do the part of a next of kin to you, I will do the part of a kinsman to you; then he said to her, Lie down until the morning.

14 So she lay at his feet until dawn; and she rose up early in the morning while it was dark, before one could recognize another. And she said to him, Let it not be known that I came down to you to the threshing floor.

15 And Boaz said to her, Spread your mantle; and she spread it, and he measured six measures of barley, lifted it up, and laid it on her back; and she went into the city.

16 And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said to her, Who are you, my daughter? And she answered, I am Ruth, and she told her all that Boaz had done for her;

17 And how he had given her six measures of barley, and had said to her, Go not empty-handed to your mother-in-law.

18 Then her mother-in-law said to her, Sit still, my daughter, until you know the outcome; for the man will not rest until he brings the case to judgment today.

Kapitel 3

1 Und Naemi5281, ihre Schwieger, sprach559 zu ihr: Meine Tochter1323, ich will3190 dir Ruhe4494 schaffen1245, daß dir‘s wohlgehe.

2 Nun, der Boas1162, unser Freund, bei des Dirnen5291 du gewesen bist, worfelt2219 diese Nacht3915 Gerste8184 auf seiner Tenne1637.

3 So bade7364 dich5480 und salbe dich und lege7760 dein Kleid8071 an und gehe hinab3381 auf3615 die Tenne1637, daß dich niemand376 kenne3045, bis man ganz gegessen398 und getrunken8354 hat.

4 Wenn er sich7901 dann leget, so merke den Ort4725, da er sich3045 hinlegt; und komm und decke auf1540 zu6213 seinen Füßen4772 und lege dich7901, so wird er dir wohl sagen5046, was du tun935 sollst.

5 Sie559 sprach559 zu ihr: Alles was du mir sagest, will ich tun6213.

6 Sie6680 ging hinab3381 zur Tenne1637 und tat alles, wie ihre Schwieger geboten hatte6213.

7 Und3190 da Boas1162 gegessen398 und getrunken8354 hatte, ward sein Herz3820 guter Dinge; und kam935 und legte sich7901 hinter7097 eine Mandel. Und sie kam935 leise3909 und deckte auf1540 zu seinen Füßen4772 und legte sich7901.

8 Da es nun Mitternacht ward, erschrak2729 der Mann376 und erschütterte; und siehe, ein Weib802 lag7901 zu seinen Füßen4772.

9 Und er sprach559: Wer bist du? Sie559 antwortete: Ich bin Ruth7327, deine Magd519. Breite6566 deinen Flügel3671 über deine Magd519, denn du bist der Erbe1350.

10 Er aber sprach559: Gesegnet1288 seiest du dem HErrn3068, meine Tochter1323! Du hast eine bessere Barmherzigkeit2617 hernach314 getan denn vorhin, daß du nicht1115 bist3190 den Jünglingen970 nachgegangen3212, weder reich6223 noch arm1800.

11 Nun, meine Tochter1323, fürchte3372 dich nicht! Alles, was du559 sagst, will ich dir tun6213; denn die ganze Stadt8179 meines Volks5971 weiß3045, daß du ein tugendsam2428 Weib802 bist.

12 Nun, es ist3426 wahr551, daß ich der Erbe1350 bin; aber es ist einer näher7138 denn ich.

13 Bleib über Nacht3885. Morgen1242, so er1350 dich nimmt1350, wohl2896; gelüstet‘s ihn aber nicht, dich zu nehmen, so will ich2654 dich nehmen, so wahr der HErr3068 lebt2416. Schlaf7901 bis morgen1242.

14 Und sie559 schlief7901 bis morgen1242 zu seinen Füßen4772. Und sie stund auf6965, ehe denn2958 einer den andern7453, kennen5234 mochte; und er gedachte, daß nur niemand inne werde, daß ein376 Weib802 in die Tenne1637 kommen935 sei!

15 Und935 sprach559: Lange her3051 den Mantel4304, den du anhast, und halt ihn zu. Und sie hielt270 ihn zu. Und er maß4058 sechs8337 Maß Gerste8184 und legte7896 es auf sie. Und er kam270 in die Stadt5892.

16 Sie aber kam935 zu ihrer Schwieger, die sprach559: Wie steht es mit dir, meine Tochter1323? Und sie sagte5046 ihr alles, was ihr der Mann376 getan hatte6213,

17 und sprach559: Diese sechs8337 Maß Gerste8184 gab5414 er mir, denn er sprach559: Du sollst nicht leer7387 zu deiner Schwieger kommen935.

18 Sie3427 aber sprach559: Sei stille, meine Tochter1323, bis du erfährest, wo es1697 hinaus will5307; denn518 der Mann376 wird3045 nicht ruhen8252, er bringe es1697 denn heute3117 zu Ende3615.
