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 Рече́ же є҆́й ноеммі́нь свекро́вь є҆ѧ̀: дщѝ (моѧ̀), не поищꙋ́ ли тебѣ̀ поко́ѧ, да бла́го тѝ бꙋ́детъ;
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 и҆ нн҃ѣ воо́зъ не ᲂу҆́жикъ ли на́мъ, и҆дѣ́же со ѻ҆трокови́цами є҆гѡ̀ была̀ є҆сѝ; сѐ, то́й вѣ́етъ на гꙋмнѣ̀ ꙗ҆чме́нь сеѧ̀ но́щи:
2 Now isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on the threshing floor.
3 ты́ же и҆змы́йсѧ, и҆ пома́сти лицѐ твоѐ, и҆ ѡ҆блецы́сѧ въ ри̑зы твоѧ̑ (свѣ̑тлыѧ), и҆ и҆зы́ди на гꙋмно̀: не ꙗ҆ви́сѧ мꙋ́жꙋ, до́ндеже сконча́етъ ꙗ҆́сти и҆ пи́ти:
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 и҆ бꙋ́детъ внегда̀ ᲂу҆снꙋ́ти є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ позна́еши мѣ́сто, гдѣ̀ лѧ́жетъ, та́мѡ да вни́деши, и҆ ѿкры́еши ᲂу҆ но́гъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ лѧ́жеши: и҆ то́й повѣ́сть тебѣ̀, ꙗ҆̀же и҆́маши твори́ти.
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 И҆ речѐ рꙋ́ѳь къ не́й: всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка рече́ши мнѣ̀, сотворю̀.
5 She said to her, “All that you say, I will do.”
6 И҆ и҆́де на гꙋмно̀, и҆ сотворѝ по всемꙋ̀, є҆ли̑ка заповѣ́да є҆́й свекро́вь є҆ѧ̀.
6 She went down to the threshing floor, and did everything that her mother-in-law told her.
7 И҆ ꙗ҆дѐ воо́зъ и҆ пѝ, и҆ возблажа̀ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀, и҆ и҆́де спа́ти со страны̀ сто́га: ѻ҆на́ же прїи́де вта́й, и҆ ѿкры̀ ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆ но́гъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ лѧ́же.
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 И҆ бы́сть въ полꙋ́нощи, ᲂу҆жасе́сѧ мꙋ́жъ и҆ возмѧте́сѧ, и҆ сѐ, жена̀ лежи́тъ ᲂу҆ но́гъ є҆гѡ̀:
8 At midnight, the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 и҆ речѐ (є҆́й воо́зъ): кто̀ є҆сѝ ты̀; Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь рꙋ́ѳь раба̀ твоѧ̀, да возложи́ши крило̀ твоѐ на рабꙋ̀ твою̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́жикъ ты̀ є҆сѝ.
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 И҆ речѐ воо́зъ: блгⷭ҇ве́на ты̀ гдⷭ҇емъ бг҃омъ, дщѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ разблажи́ла є҆сѝ ми́лость твою̀ послѣ́днюю па́че пе́рвыѧ, є҆́же не и҆тѝ тебѣ̀ в̾слѣ́дъ ю҆́нѡтъ, а҆́ще ᲂу҆бо́гъ, а҆́ще бога́тъ:
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 и҆ нн҃ѣ, дщѝ, не бо́йсѧ: всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка рече́ши, сотворю̀ тебѣ̀: вѣ́сть бо всѐ пле́мѧ люді́й мои́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ жена̀ си́лы ты̀ є҆сѝ:
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 и҆ нн҃ѣ пои́стиннѣ ᲂу҆́жикъ є҆́смь а҆́зъ: но є҆щѐ є҆́сть ᲂу҆́жикъ бли́жшїй менє̀:
12 Now it is true that I am a near kinsman. However, there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 прележѝ сїю̀ но́щь, и҆ бꙋ́детъ заꙋ́тра а҆́ще прїи́метъ тѧ̀, то̀ бла́го: да по́йметъ: а҆́ще ли не восхо́щетъ поѧ́ти тебѐ, то̀ поимꙋ́ тѧ а҆́зъ, жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь: прележѝ до заꙋ́трїѧ.
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 И҆ лежа̀ ᲂу҆ но́гъ є҆гѡ̀ до заꙋ́трїѧ: ѻ҆на́ же воста̀, пре́жде не́же позна́ти мꙋ́жꙋ по́дрꙋга своего̀. И҆ речѐ воо́зъ: да не ᲂу҆вѣ́стсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ приходи́ла жена̀ на гꙋмно̀.
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 И҆ речѐ є҆́й: принесѝ покрыва́ло є҆́же на тебѣ̀, и҆ держѝ є҆̀. Ѻ҆на́ же держа̀ є҆̀, и҆ намѣ́ри є҆́й ше́сть мѣ́ръ ꙗ҆чме́нѧ, и҆ задѣ̀ є҆́й: и҆ и҆́де во гра́дъ.
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 И҆ прїи́де рꙋ́ѳь ко свекро́ви свое́й. Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ є҆́й: что́ є҆сть, дщѝ; И҆ повѣ́да є҆́й всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сотворѝ є҆́й мꙋ́жъ.
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 И҆ речѐ є҆́й: ше́сть мѣ́ръ си́хъ ꙗ҆чме́нѧ даде́ ми, глаго́ла бо ко мнѣ̀: да не и҆́деши тща̀ ко свекро́ви свое́й.
17 She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go empty to your mother-in-law.’”
18 Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: сѣдѝ, дщѝ, до́ндеже ᲂу҆вѣ́си, ка́кѡ паде́тъ сло́во: не ᲂу҆молчи́тъ бо мꙋ́жъ, до́ндеже соверши́тсѧ сло́во дне́сь.
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.”
