1 Un día Noemí, su suegra, le dijo: «Hija mía, debo buscarte un hogar donde estés bien.
1 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
2 Booz, nuestro pariente, es el hombre con cuyas trabajadoras has estado. Esta noche estará aventando la cebada en la era.
2 Now isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on the threshing floor.
3 Báñate, ponte perfume, vístete con tu mejor ropa y baja a la era. Pero no dejes que te vea hasta que termine de comer y beber.
3 Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor; but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
4 Cuando se acueste, fíjate dónde lo hace. Luego ve, descubre sus pies y acuéstate allí. Él te dirá qué debes hacer».
4 It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall note the place where he is lying. Then you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”
5 Rut respondió: «Haré todo lo que me dices».
5 She said to her, “All that you say, I will do.”
6 Bajó a la era e hizo todo lo que su suegra le había indicado.
6 She went down to the threshing floor, and did everything that her mother-in-law told her.
7 Booz comió y bebió, y quedó contento. Después fue a acostarse junto al montón de grano. Entonces Rut se acercó en silencio, descubrió sus pies y se acostó allí.
7 When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 A medianoche, Booz se despertó sobresaltado. Al incorporarse, vio a una mujer acostada a sus pies.
8 At midnight, the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 Él preguntó: «¿Quién eres?» Ella respondió: «Soy Rut, tu sierva. Tómame como esposa, porque eres un pariente cercano».
9 He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth your servant. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your servant; for you are a near kinsman.”
10 Booz dijo: «Que el Señor te bendiga, hija mía. Esta bondad que muestras ahora es aún mayor que la primera, porque no has ido tras hombres jóvenes, fueran ricos o pobres.
10 He said, “You are blessed by Yahweh, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you didn’t follow young men, whether poor or rich.
11 Ahora, hija mía, no tengas miedo. Haré por ti todo lo que me pides, porque toda la gente de mi pueblo sabe que eres una mujer de buen carácter.
11 Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
12 Es verdad que soy un pariente cercano, pero hay otro pariente más cercano que yo.
12 Now it is true that I am a near kinsman. However, there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Quédate aquí esta noche. Por la mañana, si él quiere cumplir contigo su deber de pariente, que lo haga. Pero si no quiere hacerlo, tan cierto como que el Señor vive, yo lo haré. Acuéstate aquí hasta la mañana».
13 Stay this night, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good. Let him do the kinsman’s duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do the duty of a kinsman for you, as Yahweh lives. Lie down until the morning.”
14 Rut permaneció a sus pies hasta la mañana y se levantó antes de que hubiera luz suficiente para reconocer a otra persona. Booz dijo: «Que nadie sepa que una mujer vino a la era».
14 She lay at his feet until the morning, then she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
15 Luego le dijo: «Extiende el manto que llevas puesto y sostenlo». Ella lo sostuvo, y Booz puso en él seis medidas de cebada y se lo cargó. Entonces Rut regresó a la ciudad.
15 He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; then he went into the city.
16 Cuando llegó, su suegra le preguntó: «¿Cómo te fue, hija mía?» Rut le contó todo lo que Booz había hecho por ella.
16 When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?” She told her all that the man had done for her.
17 Y añadió: «Me dio estas seis medidas de cebada y me dijo: “No regreses con las manos vacías a casa de tu suegra”».
17 She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go empty to your mother-in-law.’”
18 Noemí respondió: «Espera, hija mía, hasta saber cómo termina este asunto, porque ese hombre no descansará hasta resolverlo».
18 Then she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know what will happen; for the man will not rest until he has settled this today.”
