Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 И҆ бѣ̀ мꙋ́жъ зна́емый мꙋ́жꙋ ноеммі́ню: мꙋ́жъ же си́ленъ ѿ ро́да є҆лїмеле́хова, и҆́мѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ воо́зъ.
1 Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
2 И҆ речѐ рꙋ́ѳь мѡаві́тїнѧ къ ноеммі́ни: да и҆дꙋ̀ ᲂу҆̀бо на ни́вꙋ и҆ соберꙋ̀ кла́сы вслѣ́дствꙋющи, и҆дѣ́же а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋ благода́ть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма є҆гѡ̀. Рече́ же є҆́й: и҆дѝ, дщѝ (моѧ̀).
2 Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I find favor.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 И҆ и҆́де, и҆ прише́дши собира́ше на ни́вѣ вслѣ́дствꙋющи жа́телємъ: и҆ прїи́де по слꙋ́чаю въ ча́сть ни́вы воо́зовы, и҆́же ѿ сро́дства є҆лїмеле́хова.
3 She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 И҆ сѐ, воо́зъ прїи́де ѿ виѳлее́ма и҆ речѐ жнꙋ́щымъ: гдⷭ҇ь съ ва́ми. И҆ рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: да блгⷭ҇ви́тъ тѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь.
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
5 И҆ речѐ воо́зъ ѻ҆́трокꙋ своемꙋ̀ стоѧ́щемꙋ над̾ жа́тєли: чїѧ̀ ѻ҆трокови́ца сїѧ̀;
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
6 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ ѻ҆́трокъ стоѧ́й над̾ жнꙋ́щими, и҆ речѐ: ѻ҆трокови́ца мѡаві́тїнѧ є҆́сть, прише́дшаѧ съ ноеммі́ною ѿ села̀ мѡа́влѧ:
6 The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
7 и҆ речѐ: да соберꙋ̀ нн҃ѣ и҆ сложꙋ̀ въ снопѣ́хъ по слѣ́дꙋ жнꙋ́щихъ: и҆ прїи́де, и҆ ста̀ ѿ ᲂу҆́тра да́же и҆ до ве́чера, и҆ ни ма́лѡ почѝ на ни́вѣ.
7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”
8 И҆ речѐ воо́зъ къ рꙋ́ѳѣ: слы́ши, дщѝ, не ходѝ собира́ти на ни́вꙋ и҆́нꙋ, и҆ ты̀ да не ѿи́деши ѿсю́дꙋ: но здѣ̀ прилѣпи́сѧ ко ѻ҆трокови́цамъ мои̑мъ,
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
9 и҆ ѻ҆́чи твоѝ да бꙋ́дꙋтъ на ни́вѣ, и҆дѣ́же жнꙋ́тъ, и҆ да хо́диши в̾слѣ́дъ и҆́хъ: сѐ, заповѣ́дахъ ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ не коснꙋ́тисѧ тебѣ̀: и҆ є҆гда̀ возжа́ждеши, и҆ да и҆́деши къ сосꙋ́дѡмъ, и҆ пїе́ши ѿню́дꙋже че́рплютъ ѻ҆́троцы.
9 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”
10 И҆ падѐ (ѻ҆трокови́ца) ни́цъ и҆ поклони́сѧ до землѝ, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма, є҆́же позна́ти мѧ̀, а҆́зъ же є҆́смь стра́нна;
10 Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”
11 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ воо́зъ и҆ речѐ къ не́й: возвѣще́нїемъ возвѣсти́сѧ мнѣ̀, є҆ли̑ка сотвори́ла є҆сѝ со свекро́вїю твое́ю по ᲂу҆ме́ртвїи мꙋ́жа твоегѡ̀, и҆ ка́кѡ ѡ҆ста́вила є҆сѝ ѻ҆тца̀ твоего̀ и҆ ма́терь твою̀ и҆ зе́млю рожде́нїѧ твоегѡ̀, и҆ пришла̀ є҆сѝ въ лю́ди, и҆́хже не вѣ́дала ѿ вчера̀ и҆ тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ:
11 Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.
12 да возда́стъ гдⷭ҇ь дѣ́ло твоѐ, и҆ да бꙋ́детъ мзда̀ твоѧ̀ и҆спо́лнь ѿ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а і҆и҃лева, къ немꙋ́же пришла̀ є҆сѝ ᲂу҆пова́ти под̾ крило́ма є҆гѡ̀.
12 May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
13 Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма, господи́не мо́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆тѣ́шилъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ глаго́лалъ є҆сѝ въ се́рдце рабы̀ твоеѧ̀, и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ бꙋ́дꙋ ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ди́на ѿ рабы́нь твои́хъ.
13 Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not as one of your servants.”
14 И҆ речѐ є҆́й воо́зъ: ᲂу҆жѐ ча́съ ꙗ҆́сти, прибли́жисѧ ᲂу҆̀бо сѣ́мѡ, да ꙗ҆́си хлѣ́бъ мо́й, и҆ ѡ҆мочѝ ᲂу҆крꙋ́хъ тво́й во ѻ҆́цетъ. И҆ сѧ́де рꙋ́ѳь ѿ страны̀ жа́телей: и҆ подадѐ є҆́й воо́зъ прѧ́жмо, и҆ ꙗ҆дѐ и҆ насы́тисѧ, и҆ ѡ҆ста̀:
14 At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.
15 и҆ воста̀ собира́ти. И҆ заповѣ́да воо́зъ ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ свои̑мъ, глаго́лѧ: средѣ̀ снопѡ́въ да собира́етъ, и҆ не посрами́те ю҆̀:
15 When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.
16 и҆ носѧ́ще носи́те є҆́й, и҆ ѿлага́юще ѿлага́йте є҆́й ѿ снопѡ́въ, и҆ ѡ҆ста́вите ю҆̀ собира́ти и҆ ꙗ҆́сти, и҆ не возбрани́те є҆́й.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
17 И҆ собира̀ до ве́чера на ни́вѣ, и҆ и҆змлатѝ є҆́же собра̀, и҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆фі̀ мѣ́ра ꙗ҆чме́нѧ:
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 и҆ взѧ̀, и҆ прїи́де во гра́дъ. И҆ ви́дѣ свекро́вь є҆ѧ̀ є҆́же собра̀: и҆ и҆з̾е́мши рꙋ́ѳь ѿ нѣ́дръ свои́хъ, дадѐ свекро́ви свое́й, є҆́же ѡ҆ста́вила, ѿ ни́хже насы́тисѧ.
18 She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.
19 И҆ речѐ къ не́й свекро́вь є҆ѧ̀: гдѣ̀ є҆сѝ собира́ла дне́сь, и҆ гдѣ̀ рабо́тала; да бꙋ́детъ благослове́нъ позна́вый тѧ̀. И҆ повѣ́да рꙋ́ѳь свекро́ви свое́й, гдѣ̀ рабо́тала, и҆ речѐ: и҆́мѧ мꙋ́жꙋ воо́зъ, ᲂу҆ негѡ́же рабо́тахъ дне́сь.
19 Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
20 Рече́ же ноеммі́нь снохѣ̀ свое́й: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ є҆́сть гдⷭ҇емъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѡ҆ста́ви ми́лости своеѧ̀ съ живы́ми и҆ со ᲂу҆ме́ршими. И҆ речѐ є҆́й ноеммі́нь: ᲂу҆́жикъ є҆́сть на́мъ мꙋ́жъ то́й, и҆ є҆́сть ѿ ᲂу҆́жикъ на́шихъ.
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”
21 И҆ речѐ рꙋ́ѳь ко свекро́ви свое́й: и҆ мнѣ̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ речѐ: ко ѻ҆трокови́цамъ мои̑мъ приста́ни, до́ндеже сконча́ютъ всю̀ жа́твꙋ, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть мнѣ̀.
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
22 И҆ речѐ ноеммі́нь къ рꙋ́ѳѣ снохѣ̀ свое́й: бла́го, дщѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ходи́ла є҆сѝ со ѻ҆трокови́цами є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не сопроти́вѧтсѧ тебѣ̀ на и҆́нѣй ни́вѣ.
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not harm you in any other field.”
23 И҆ приста̀ рꙋ́ѳь ко ѻ҆трокови́цамъ воо́зѡвымъ собира́ти (кла́сы), до́ндеже сконча́сѧ жа́тва ꙗ҆чме́нѧ и҆ пшени́цы: и҆ сѣ́де со свекро́вїю свое́ю.
23 So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
