1 Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?
Εῖπεν-δὲ-αυτῆ-Νωεμιν-η-πενθερὰ-αυτῆς-Θύγατερ-,-ου-μὴ-ζητήσω-σοι-ανάπαυσιν-,-ίνα-εῦ-γένηταί-σοι-;-
2 Now Boaz, whose young women you were with, is he not our relative? In fact, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.
καὶ-νῦν-ουχὶ-Βοος-γνώριμος-ημῶν-,-οῦ-ῆς-μετὰ-τῶν-κορασίων-αυτοῦ-;-ιδοὺ-αυτὸς-λικμᾶ-τὸν-άλωνα-τῶν-κριθῶν-ταύτη-τῆ-νυκτί-.-
3 Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your best garment and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
σὺ-δὲ-λούση-καὶ-αλείψη-καὶ-περιθήσεις-τὸν-ιματισμόν-σου-επὶ-σεαυτῆ-καὶ-αναβήση-επὶ-τὸν-άλω-·-μὴ-γνωρισθῆς-τῶ-ανδρὶ-έως-οῦ-συντελέσαι-αυτὸν-πιεῖν-καὶ-φαγεῖν-·-
4 Then it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies; and you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down; and he will tell you what you should do.”
καὶ-έσται-εν-τῶ-κοιμηθῆναι-αυτόν-,-καὶ-γνώση-τὸν-τόπον-,-όπου-κοιμᾶται-εκεῖ-,-καὶ-ελεύση-καὶ-αποκαλύψεις-τὰ-πρὸς-ποδῶν-αυτοῦ-καὶ-κοιμηθήση-,-καὶ-αυτὸς-απαγγελεῖ-σοι-ὰ-ποιήσεις-.-
5 And she said to her, “All that you say to me I will do.”
εῖπεν-δὲ-Ρουθ-πρὸς-αυτήν-Πάντα-,-όσα-εὰν-είπης-,-ποιήσω-.-
6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law instructed her.
καὶ-κατέβη-εις-τὸν-άλω-καὶ-εποίησεν-κατὰ-πάντα-,-όσα-ενετείλατο-αυτῆ-η-πενθερὰ-αυτῆς-.-
7 And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
καὶ-έφαγεν-Βοος-,-καὶ-ηγαθύνθη-η-καρδία-αυτοῦ-,-καὶ-ῆλθεν-κοιμηθῆναι-εν-μερίδι-τῆς-στοιβῆς-·-η-δὲ-ῆλθεν-κρυφῆ-καὶ-απεκάλυψεν-τὰ-πρὸς-ποδῶν-αυτοῦ-.-
8 Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying at his feet.
εγένετο-δὲ-εν-τῶ-μεσονυκτίω-καὶ-εξέστη-ο-ανὴρ-καὶ-εταράχθη-,-καὶ-ιδοὺ-γυνὴ-κοιμᾶται-πρὸς-ποδῶν-αυτοῦ-.-
9 And he said, “Who are you?” So she answered, “I am Ruth, your maidservant. Take your maidservant under your wing, for you are a close relative.”
εῖπεν-δέ-Τίς-εῖ-σύ-;-η-δὲ-εῖπεν-Εγώ-ειμι-Ρουθ-η-δούλη-σου-,-καὶ-περιβαλεῖς-τὸ-πτερύγιόν-σου-επὶ-τὴν-δούλην-σου-,-ότι-αγχιστεὺς-εῖ-σύ-.-
10 Then he said, “Blessed are you of the LORD, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich.
καὶ-εῖπεν-Βοος-Ευλογημένη-σὺ-τῶ-κυρίω-θεῶ-,-θύγατερ-,-ότι-ηγάθυνας-τὸ-έλεός-σου-τὸ-έσχατον-υπὲρ-τὸ-πρῶτον-,-τὸ-μὴ-πορευθῆναί-σε-οπίσω-νεανιῶν-,-είτοι-πτωχὸς-είτοι-πλούσιος-.-
11 And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.
καὶ-νῦν-,-θύγατερ-,-μὴ-φοβοῦ-·-πάντα-,-όσα-εὰν-είπης-,-ποιήσω-σοι-·-οῖδεν-γὰρ-πᾶσα-φυλὴ-λαοῦ-μου-ότι-γυνὴ-δυνάμεως-εῖ-σύ-,-
12 Now it is true that I am a close relative; however, there is a relative closer than I.
καὶ-ότι-αληθῶς-αγχιστεὺς-εγώ-ειμι-,-καί-γε-έστιν-αγχιστεὺς-εγγίων-υπὲρ-εμέ-.-
13 Stay this night, and in the morning it shall be that if he will perform the duty of a close relative for you—good; let him do it. But if he does not want to perform the duty for you, then I will perform the duty for you, as the LORD lives! Lie down until morning.”
αυλίσθητι-τὴν-νύκτα-,-καὶ-έσται-τὸ-πρωί-,-εὰν-αγχιστεύση-σε-,-αγαθόν-,-αγχιστευέτω-·-εὰν-δὲ-μὴ-βούληται-αγχιστεῦσαί-σε-,-αγχιστεύσω-σε-εγώ-,-ζῆ-κύριος-·-κοιμήθητι-έως-πρωί-.-
14 So she lay at his feet until morning, and she arose before one could recognize another. Then he said, “Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
καὶ-εκοιμήθη-πρὸς-ποδῶν-αυτοῦ-έως-πρωί-.-η-δὲ-ανέστη-πρὸ-τοῦ-επιγνῶναι-άνδρα-τὸν-πλησίον-αυτοῦ-·-καὶ-εῖπεν-Βοος-Μὴ-γνωσθήτω-ότι-ῆλθεν-γυνὴ-εις-τὸν-άλωνα-.-
15 Also he said, “Bring the shawl that is on you and hold it.” And when she held it, he measured six ephahs of barley, and laid it on her. Then she went into the city.
καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτῆ-Φέρε-τὸ-περίζωμα-τὸ-επάνω-σου-.-καὶ-εκράτησεν-αυτό-,-καὶ-εμέτρησεν-ὲξ-κριθῶν-καὶ-επέθηκεν-επ᾿-αυτήν-·-καὶ-εισῆλθεν-εις-τὴν-πόλιν-.-
16 When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “Is that you, my daughter?” Then she told her all that the man had done for her.
καὶ-Ρουθ-εισῆλθεν-πρὸς-τὴν-πενθερὰν-αυτῆς-·-η-δὲ-εῖπεν-Τίς-εῖ-,-θύγατερ-·-καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτῆ-πάντα-,-όσα-εποίησεν-αυτῆ-ο-ανήρ-.-
17 And she said, “These six ephahs of barley he gave me; for he said to me, ‘Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.’ ”
καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτῆ-Τὰ-ὲξ-τῶν-κριθῶν-ταῦτα-έδωκέν-μοι-,-ότι-εῖπεν-πρός-με-Μὴ-εισέλθης-κενὴ-πρὸς-τὴν-πενθεράν-σου-.-
18 Then she said, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day.”
η-δὲ-εῖπεν-Κάθου-,-θύγατερ-,-έως-τοῦ-επιγνῶναί-σε-πῶς-ου-πεσεῖται-ρῆμα-·-ου-γὰρ-μὴ-ησυχάση-ο-ανήρ-,-έως-ὰν-τελέση-τὸ-ρῆμα-σήμερον-.-
