1 Noemí tenía un pariente de su marido en Belén que era muy rico. Se llamaba Booz.
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 Un día Rut le dijo a Noemí: ―Quizás yo pueda ir a los campos de algún hombre bondadoso para recoger algunas de las gavillas que quedan tras los segadores. Y Noemí dijo: ―Muy bien, hija mía, ve a hacer lo que has dicho.
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 Y así lo hizo. Ocurrió que el campo en que ella entró a espigar pertenecía a Booz el pariente del marido de Noemí.
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 Booz llegó de la ciudad mientras ella estaba allí. Después de cambiar saludos con los segadores,
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
5 preguntó al capataz: ―¿Quién es esa muchacha que está allí?
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
6 El capataz le dijo: ―Es la joven moabita que volvió con Noemí.
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 Me pidió permiso esta mañana para recoger las gavillas que se les caían a los segadores, y ha estado recogiéndolas desde entonces, salvo unos pocos minutos que estuvo descansando a la sombra.
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 Booz se dirigió a ella y le dijo: ―Escucha, hija mía. Quédate aquí para espigar. No vayas a otros campos.
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 Sigue detrás de mis segadoras. Yo les he dicho a los hombres que no te molesten; y cuando tengas sed, bebe del agua que sacan los criados.
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 Ella le dio gracias de todo corazón: ―¿Cómo puedes ser tan bondadoso conmigo? —preguntó—. Tú sabes que yo tan sólo soy una extranjera.
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 ―Sí —replicó Booz—, pero sé también de todo el amor y bondad que has mostrado a tu suegra desde la muerte de tu marido, y cómo has dejado a tu padre y a tu madre en tu tierra y has venido a vivir entre nosotros como extranjera.
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 Que el Dios de Israel, bajo cuyas alas has venido a refugiarte, te bendiga por ello.
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 ―Gracias, señor —contestó ella—, tú has sido bondadoso conmigo, aunque ni siquiera soy una de tus trabajadoras.
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 A la hora de la comida, Booz la llamó: ―Ven y come con nosotros. Ella se sentó con los segadores y él le sirvió comida, más de la que podía comer.
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 Y cuando volvió al trabajo nuevamente, Booz les dijo a sus hombres que la dejaran espigar entre las gavillas sin prohibírselo,
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 y que dejaran caer espigas con el propósito de que ella las recogiera, y no la reprendieran.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
17 Ella trabajó allí todo el día, y en la tarde, después de desgranar la cebada que había espigado la midió, y eran como veinticuatro kilos.
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 Se los llevó a la ciudad y se los dio a su suegra, juntamente con la comida que había sobrado.
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 ―¿Cómo pudiste sacar tanto? —exclamó Noemí—. ¿Dónde has estado espigando hoy? Gracias a Dios por la persona que ha sido tan bondadosa contigo. Rut le contó a su suegra todo lo ocurrido y le dijo que el nombre del propietario del campo era Booz.
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 ―¡Que Dios lo bendiga! Dios ha seguido mostrándonos su misericordia a nosotras y también a tu marido muerto —exclamó Noemí muy emocionada—. Ese hombre es uno de nuestros parientes más cercanos. Él tiene la obligación de ayudarnos.
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 ―Me dijo que regresara y espigara muy cerca de las segadoras hasta que haya terminado la cosecha de todo el campo —añadió Rut.
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 ―¡Esto es maravilloso! —exclamó Noemí—. Haz lo que él ha dicho. Quédate con sus criadas hasta que haya terminado la cosecha. Estarás más segura allí que en cualquier otro campo.
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 Así lo hizo Rut, y espigó con ellos hasta el fin de la cosecha de la cebada, y luego durante el tiempo de la cosecha del trigo. En ese tiempo vivía con su suegra.
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.
