1Ruth's mother-in-law Naomi, told her, "My daughter, should I not make inquiries about your financial security, so you'll be better off in life?

1וַתֹּ֥אמֶר לָ֖הּ נָעֳמִ֣י חֲמוֹתָ֑הּ בִּתִּ֞י הֲלֹ֧א אֲבַקֶּשׁ־ לָ֛ךְ מָנ֖וֹחַ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִֽיטַב־ לָֽךְ׃

2Isn't Boaz one of our close relatives? You've been associating with his women servants lately. Look, he'll be winnowing barley at the threshing floor tonight.

2וְעַתָּ֗ה הֲלֹ֥א בֹ֙עַז֙ מֹֽדַעְתָּ֔נוּ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיִ֖ית אֶת־ נַעֲרוֹתָ֑יו הִנֵּה־ ה֗וּא זֹרֶ֛ה אֶת־ גֹּ֥רֶן הַשְּׂעֹרִ֖ים הַלָּֽיְלָה׃

3So get cleaned up, put on some perfume, dress up, and go to the threshing floor, but don't let him see you until after he's finished eating and drinking.

3וְרָחַ֣צְתְּ ׀ וָסַ֗כְתְּ וְשַׂ֧מְתְּ [שמלתך] (שִׂמְלֹתַ֛יִךְ) עָלַ֖יִךְ [וירדתי] (וְיָרַ֣דְתְּ) הַגֹּ֑רֶן אַל־ תִּוָּדְעִ֣י לָאִ֔ישׁ עַ֥ד כַּלֹּת֖וֹ לֶאֱכֹ֥ל וְלִשְׁתּֽוֹת׃

4When he lies down, be sure to notice where he is resting. Then go over, uncover his feet, and lie down. He'll tell you what to do."

4וִיהִ֣י בְשָׁכְב֗וֹ וְיָדַ֙עַתְּ֙ אֶת־ הַמָּקוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִשְׁכַּב־ שָׁ֔ם וּבָ֛את וְגִלִּ֥ית מַרְגְּלֹתָ֖יו [ושכבתי] (וְשָׁכָ֑בְתְּ) וְהוּא֙ יַגִּ֣יד לָ֔ךְ אֵ֖ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעַשִֽׂין׃‪‬‪‬

5Ruth replied, "I'll do everything you've said."

5וַתֹּ֖אמֶר אֵלֶ֑יהָ כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־ תֹּאמְרִ֥י (אֵלַ֖י) אֶֽעֱשֶֽׂה׃

6So she went out to the threshing floor and did precisely what her mother-in-law had advised.

6וַתֵּ֖רֶד הַגֹּ֑רֶן וַתַּ֕עַשׂ כְּכֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־ צִוַּ֖תָּה חֲמוֹתָֽהּ׃

7After Boaz had finished eating and drinking to his heart's content, he went over and lay down next to the pile of threshed grain. Ruth came in quietly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

7וַיֹּ֨אכַל בֹּ֤עַז וַיֵּשְׁתְּ֙ וַיִּיטַ֣ב לִבּ֔וֹ וַיָּבֹ֕א לִשְׁכַּ֖ב בִּקְצֵ֣ה הָעֲרֵמָ֑ה וַתָּבֹ֣א בַלָּ֔ט וַתְּגַ֥ל מַרְגְּלֹתָ֖יו וַתִּשְׁכָּֽב׃

8In the middle of the night, Boaz was startled awake and turned over in surprise to see a woman lying at his feet.

8וַיְהִי֙ בַּחֲצִ֣י הַלַּ֔יְלָה וַיֶּחֱרַ֥ד הָאִ֖ישׁ וַיִּלָּפֵ֑ת וְהִנֵּ֣ה אִשָּׁ֔ה שֹׁכֶ֖בֶת מַרְגְּלֹתָֽיו׃

9He asked her, "Who are you?" She answered, "I'm only Ruth, your servant. Spread the edge of your garment over your servant, because you are my related redeemer."

9וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מִי־ אָ֑תּ‪‬ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר אָנֹכִי֙ ר֣וּת אֲמָתֶ֔ךָ וּפָרַשְׂתָּ֤ כְנָפֶ֙ךָ֙ עַל־ אֲמָ֣תְךָ֔ כִּ֥י גֹאֵ֖ל אָֽתָּה׃

10He replied, "May you be blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You've added to the gracious love you've already demonstrated by not pursuing younger men, whether rich or poor.

10וַיֹּ֗אמֶר בְּרוּכָ֨ה אַ֤תְּ לַֽיהוָה֙ בִּתִּ֔י הֵיטַ֛בְתְּ חַסְדֵּ֥ךְ הָאַחֲר֖וֹן מִן־ הָרִאשׁ֑וֹן לְבִלְתִּי־ לֶ֗כֶת אַחֲרֵי֙ הַבַּ֣חוּרִ֔ים אִם־ דַּ֖ל וְאִם־ עָשִֽׁיר׃

11Don't be afraid, my daughter. I'll do for you everything that you have asked, since all of my people in town are aware that you're a virtuous woman.

11וְעַתָּ֗ה בִּתִּי֙ אַל־ תִּ֣ירְאִ֔י כֹּ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־ תֹּאמְרִ֖י אֶֽעֱשֶׂה־ לָּ֑ךְ כִּ֤י יוֹדֵ֙עַ֙ כָּל־ שַׁ֣עַר עַמִּ֔י כִּ֛י אֵ֥שֶׁת חַ֖יִל אָֽתְּ׃

12It's true that I'm your related redeemer, but there is another related redeemer even closer than I.

12וְעַתָּה֙ כִּ֣י אָמְנָ֔ם כִּ֥י [אם] גֹאֵ֖ל אָנֹ֑כִי וְגַ֛ם יֵ֥שׁ גֹּאֵ֖ל קָר֥וֹב מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

13Stay the night, and if he fulfills his duty as your related redeemer in the morning, that will be acceptable. But if he isn't inclined to do so, then, as the LORD lives, I will act as your related redeemer myself. So lie down until morning."

13לִ֣ינִי ׀ הַלַּ֗יְלָה וְהָיָ֤ה בַבֹּ֙קֶר֙ אִם־ יִגְאָלֵ֥ךְ טוֹב֙ יִגְאָ֔ל וְאִם־ לֹ֨א יַחְפֹּ֧ץ לְגָֽאֳלֵ֛ךְ וּגְאַלְתִּ֥יךְ אָנֹ֖כִי חַי־ יְהוָ֑ה שִׁכְבִ֖י עַד־ הַבֹּֽקֶר׃

14So she lay down at his feet until dawn approached, then got up while it was still difficult for anyone to be recognized. Then he told her, "It shouldn't be known that a woman has come to the threshing floor."

14וַתִּשְׁכַּ֤ב [מרגלתו] (מַרְגְּלוֹתָיוֹ֙‪‬‪‬‪‬‪‬) עַד־ הַבֹּ֔קֶר וַתָּ֕קָם [בטרום] (בְּטֶ֛רֶם) יַכִּ֥יר אִ֖ישׁ אֶת־ רֵעֵ֑הוּ וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אַל־ יִוָּדַ֔ע כִּי־ בָ֥אָה הָאִשָּׁ֖ה הַגֹּֽרֶן׃

15So he said, "Take your cloak and hold it out." She did so, and he measured out six units of barley and placed them in a sack on her. Then she left for town.

15וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הָ֠בִי הַמִּטְפַּ֧חַת אֲשֶׁר־ עָלַ֛יִךְ וְאֶֽחֳזִי־ בָ֖הּ וַתֹּ֣אחֶז בָּ֑הּ וַיָּ֤מָד שֵׁשׁ־ שְׂעֹרִים֙ וַיָּ֣שֶׁת עָלֶ֔יהָ וַיָּבֹ֖א הָעִֽיר׃

16When Ruth returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked her, "How did it go, my daughter?" Then she related everything that the man had done for her.

16וַתָּבוֹא֙ אֶל־ חֲמוֹתָ֔הּ וַתֹּ֖אמֶר מִי־ אַ֣תְּ בִּתִּ֑י וַתַּ֨גֶּד־ לָ֔הּ אֵ֛ת כָּל־ אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָֽשָׂה־ לָ֖הּ הָאִֽישׁ׃

17Ruth also said, "He gave me these six units of barley and told me, 'Don't go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.'"

17וַתֹּ֕אמֶר שֵׁשׁ־ הַשְּׂעֹרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה נָ֣תַן לִ֑י כִּ֚י אָמַ֣ר (אֵלַ֔י) אַל־ תָּב֥וֹאִי רֵיקָ֖ם אֶל־ חֲמוֹתֵֽךְ׃

18Naomi replied, "Be patient, my daughter, until you learn how this works out, because the man won't rest until he finishes everything today."

18וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ שְׁבִ֣י בִתִּ֔י עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֵּֽדְעִ֔ין אֵ֖יךְ יִפֹּ֣ל דָּבָ֑ר כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יִשְׁקֹט֙ הָאִ֔ישׁ כִּֽי־ אִם־ כִּלָּ֥ה הַדָּבָ֖ר הַיּֽוֹם׃
