Рече же е'й ное%м#минь све'кры ея`, дщ^и моя` не пои^щђ л^и тебњ` поко'я, да бл~гот^и бђдетъ”

¹

And she lodged with her mother-in-law: and Noemin her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

²

И$ н~нњ ё^бо воѓ'зъ не ё%жикъ л^и е^сть на'мъ. и^дњже съ ѓ^трокови'цами е^го е^си была`. и^ с^е нн~њ то'й свњта'етъ на гђмнњ ја^чме'нь се'и` но'щи.

²

And now is not Booz our kinsman, with whose damsels thou wast? behold, he winnows barley this night in the floor.

³

ты' же и^зъмы'ися и^ помасти лице` свое`, и^ ѓ^блецы'ся в ри'зы твоа свњтлњишїа. да и%деши на гђмно`, и^ не ја^ви'ся е^мђ до'ндеже сконча'етъ ја%сти и^ пи'ти”

³

But do thou wash, and anoint thyself, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go up to the threshing-floor: do not discover thyself to the man until he has done eating and drinking.

⁴

И$ бђдетъ е^гда` лещи` е^мђ. да разђмњ'еши мњ'сто гд^њ ля'жетъ та'мо да вни'деши. и^ эTкры'еши ё^ нога'хъ е^го. и^ ля'жеши та'мо, и^ то'й повњсть т^и ја^же и%маши твори'ти”

⁴

And it shall come to pass when he lies down, that thou shalt mark the place where he lies down, and shalt come and lift up the covering of his feet, and shalt lie down; and he shall tell thee what thou shalt do.

⁵

И$ рече рђ'џъ к не'и. вс^е е^ли'ко рече'ши къ мнњ` т^о сътворю`”

⁵

And Ruth said to her, All that thou shalt say, I will do.

⁶

І$ и'де в гђмно и^ сътвори` по всемђ` е^ли'ко заповњ'да све'кры ея`”

⁶

And she went down to the threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law enjoined her.

⁷

І$ ја%стъ воѓZ и^ пи'т#. и^ въз#блажа` срDце е^го. и^ предњ'лище въ странњ` складе`. си' же прїиде в та'и, и^ эTкры` ё^ ногаX е^го и^ ля'же.

⁷

And Booz ate and drank, and his heart was glad, and he came to lie down by the side of the heap of corn; and she came secretly, and lifted up the covering of his feet.

⁸

и^ бы'сть въ полђнощи ё^жасе'ся мђжъ и^ възмяте'ся. и^ с^е жена` лежи'тъ ё^ ногъ е^го”

⁸

And it came to pass at midnight that the man was amazed, and troubled, and behold, a woman lay at his feet.

⁹

И$ рече е^й воѓ%зъ кт^о е^си т^ы. си' же рече а%зъ е^смь рђ'џъ раба` твоя. да возло'жиши крыло свое` на рабђ` твою. ја%ко ё'жикъ т^ы е^си мнњ`”

⁹

And he said, Who art thou? and she said, I am thine handmaid Ruth; spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid, for thou art a near relation.

¹⁰

И$ рече воѓ%зъ блsвена т^ы гв~и б~ђ дщ^и моя`. ја%ко раз#блажа млsть свою` послњ'днюю паче прь'выя. ја%коже ё^же не и^ти` тебњ въ слDњ ю%нотъ, а^ще ё^богъ а%ще бога'тъ”

¹⁰

And Booz said, Blessed be thou of the Lord God, my daughter, for thou hast made thy latter kindness greater than the former, in that thou followest not after young men, whether any be poor or rich.

¹¹

И$ н~нњ дщ^и не бо'ися н^о все` е^ли'ко рече сътворю` тебњ. вњсть б^о все` пле'мя людїи мои^хъ, ја%ко жена` си'лы т^ы е^си”

¹¹

And now fear not, my daughter, whatever thou shalt say I will do to thee; for all the tribe of my people knows that thou art a virtuous woman.

¹²

И$ по и%стиннњ еs ја%ко ё%жикъ е^смь а%зъ. н^о е^ще` е^сть ё%жиk ближ#шїи мене`”

¹²

And now I am truly akin to thee; nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.

¹³

Оу^ мене` переле'жи сїю но'щ#. и^ бђдетъ заё%тра а%ще прїимеT т^я т^о бл~го, да пои'метъ. а^ще л^и не хо'щетъ поя'ти тебе`, т^о по'и^мђ т^я а%зъ. жи'въ г~ь прележи` здњ` до заё%трїя,

¹³

Lodge here for the night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will do the part of a kinsman to thee, well—let him do it: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, I will do the kinsman's part to thee, as the Lord lives; lie down till the morning.

¹⁴

и^ лежа` ё^ ногъ е^го до заё%трїа. и^ посе'мъ въста` заё%тра да'же не ѓ^чђти` по'дрђгъ е^го. и^ рече е'й воѓ%зъ, да не ја^ви'шися ја%ко приходи'ла е^си на гђмно`”

¹⁴

And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before a man could know his neighbour; and Booz said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.

¹⁵

И$ рече е'й принеси` препрђгъ и^же на тебњ, и^ дръжи е^го, си'же дръжа е&, и^ намњри е'й, ѕ~. мњръ ја^чме'ня, и^ задњ` е'й. си' же и%де во' градъ”

¹⁵

And he said to her, Bring the apron that is upon thee: and she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and put them upon her, and she went into the city.

¹⁶

И$ прїиде рђ'џъ къ свекро'ви свое'и. и^ рече ей све'кры чт^о е^сть дщ^и. и^ повњда е'й, е^ли'ко сътвори` е'й мђж'ъ”

¹⁶

And Ruth went in to her mother-in-law, and she said to her, My daughter! and Ruth told her all that the man had done to her.

¹⁷

И$ повњд'а е'й, ѕ~ мњръ ја^чме'ня, с^е да'сть м^и, гл~а б^о къ мн^њ, да не и%деши тща` къ свекро'ви свое'й”

¹⁷

And she said to her, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother-in-law.

¹⁸

Си' же рече сњди` дщ^и. до'ндеже ё^вњ'си ка'ко ё^ля'жеT сло'во, не ё^молъчиT б^о мђжъ, до'ндеy съвръши'тъ сло'во днеs

¹⁸

And she said, Sit still, my daughter, until thou shalt know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.
