1 Now there came a time, in the days of the judges, when there was no food in the land. And a certain man went from Beth-lehem-judah, he and his wife and his two sons, to make a living-place in the country of Moab.
1 E sucedeu que, nos dias em que os juízes julgavam, houve uma fome na terra; pelo que um homem de Belém de Judá saiu a peregrinar nos campos de Moabe, ele, e sua mulher, e seus dois filhos.
2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and were there for some time.
2 E era o nome deste homem Elimeleque, e o nome de sua mulher, Noemi, e os nomes de seus dois filhos, Malom e Quiliom, efrateus, de Belém de Judá; e vieram aos campos de Moabe e ficaram ali.
3 And Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, came to his end; and only her two sons were with her.
3 E morreu Elimeleque, marido de Noemi; e ficou ela com os seus dois filhos,
4 And they took two women of Moab as their wives: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth; and they went on living there for about ten years.
4 os quais tomaram para si mulheres moabitas; e era o nome de uma Orfa, e o nome da outra, Rute; e ficaram ali quase dez anos.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion came to their end; and the woman was without her two sons and her husband.
5 E morreram também ambos, Malom e Quiliom, ficando assim esta mulher desamparada dos seus dois filhos e de seu marido.
6 So she and her daughters-in-law got ready to go back from the country of Moab, for news had come to her in the country of Moab that the Lord, in mercy for his people, had given them food.
6 Então, se levantou ela com as suas noras e voltou dos campos de Moabe, porquanto, na terra de Moabe, ouviu que o SENHOR tinha visitado o seu povo, dando-lhe pão.
7 And she went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on their way to go back to the land of Judah.
7 Pelo que saiu do lugar onde estivera, e as suas duas noras, com ela. E, indo elas caminhando, para voltarem para a terra de Judá,
8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go back to your mothers’ houses: may the Lord be good to you as you have been good to the dead and to me:
8 disse Noemi às suas duas noras: Ide, voltai cada uma à casa de sua mãe; e o SENHOR use convosco de benevolência, como vós usastes com os falecidos e comigo.
9 May the Lord give you rest in the houses of your husbands. Then she gave them a kiss; and they were weeping bitterly.
9 O SENHOR vos dê que acheis descanso cada uma em casa de seu marido. E, beijando-as ela, levantaram a sua voz, e choraram,
10 And they said to her, No, but we will go back with you to your people.
10 e disseram-lhe: Certamente, voltaremos contigo ao teu povo.
11 But Naomi said, Go back, my daughters; why will you come with me? Have I more sons in my body, to become your husbands?
11 Porém Noemi disse: Tornai, minhas filhas, por que iríeis comigo? Tenho eu ainda no meu ventre mais filhos, para que vos fossem por maridos?
12 Go back, my daughters, and go on your way; I am so old now that I may not have another husband. If I said, I have hopes, if I had a husband tonight, and might have sons,
12 Tornai, filhas minhas, ide-vos embora, que já mui velha sou para ter marido; ainda quando eu dissesse: Tenho esperança, ou ainda que esta noite tivesse marido, e ainda tivesse filhos,
13 Would you keep yourselves till they were old enough? would you keep from having husbands for them? No, my daughters; but I am very sad for you that the hand of the Lord is against me.
13 esperá-los-íeis até que viessem a ser grandes? Deter-vos-íeis por eles, sem tomardes marido? Não, filhas minhas, que mais amargo é a mim do que a vós mesmas; porquanto a mão do SENHOR se descarregou contra mim.
14 Then again they were weeping; and Orpah gave her mother-in-law a kiss, but Ruth would not be parted from her.
14 Então, levantaram a sua voz e tornaram a chorar; e Orfa beijou a sua sogra; porém Rute se apegou a ela.
15 And Naomi said, See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods: go back after your sister-in-law.
15 Pelo que disse: Eis que voltou tua cunhada ao seu povo e aos seus deuses; volta tu também após a tua cunhada.
16 But Ruth said, Give up requesting me to go away from you, or to go back without you: for where you go I will go; and where you take your rest I will take my rest; your people will be my people, and your God my God.
16 Disse, porém, Rute: Não me instes para que te deixe e me afaste de ti; porque, aonde quer que tu fores, irei eu e, onde quer que pousares à noite, ali pousarei eu; o teu povo é o meu povo, o teu Deus é o meu Deus.
17 Wherever death comes to you, death will come to me, and there will be my last resting-place; the Lord do so to me and more if we are parted by anything but death.
17 Onde quer que morreres, morrerei eu e ali serei sepultada; me faça assim o SENHOR e outro tanto, se outra coisa que não seja a morte me separar de ti.
18 And when she saw that Ruth was strong in her purpose to go with her she said no more.
18 Vendo ela, pois, que de todo estava resolvida para ir com ela, deixou de lhe falar nisso.
19 So the two of them went on till they came to Beth-lehem. And when they came to Beth-lehem all the town was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
19 Assim, pois, foram-se ambas, até que chegaram a Belém; e sucedeu que, entrando elas em Belém, toda a cidade se comoveu por causa delas, e diziam: Não é esta Noemi?
20 And she said to them, Do not let my name be Naomi, but Mara, for the Ruler of all has given me a bitter fate.
20 Porém ela lhes dizia: Não me chameis Noemi; chamai-me Mara, porque grande amargura me tem dado o Todo-poderoso.
21 I went out full, and the Lord has sent me back again with nothing; why do you give me the name Naomi, seeing that the Lord has given witness against me, and the Ruler of all has sent sorrow on me?
21 Cheia parti, porém vazia o SENHOR me fez tornar; por que, pois, me chamareis Noemi? Pois o SENHOR testifica contra mim, e o Todo-poderoso me tem afligido tanto.
22 So Naomi came back out of the country of Moab, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her; and they came to Beth-lehem in the first days of the grain-cutting.
22 Assim, Noemi voltou, e com ela, Rute, a moabita, sua nora, que voltava dos campos de Moabe; e chegaram a Belém no princípio da sega das cevadas.
Ruth 2
1 And Naomi had a relation of her husband, a man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
1 E tinha Noemi um parente de seu marido, homem valente e poderoso, da geração de Elimeleque; e era o seu nome Boaz.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Now let me go into the field and take up the heads of grain after him in whose eyes I may have grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
2 E Rute, a moabita, disse a Noemi: Deixa-me ir ao campo, e apanharei espigas atrás daquele em cujos olhos eu achar graça. E ela lhe disse: Vai, minha filha.
3 And she went, and came and took up the heads of grain in the field after the cutters; and by chance she went into that part of the field which was the property of Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
3 Foi, pois, e chegou, e apanhava espigas no campo após os segadores; e caiu-lhe em sorte uma parte do campo de Boaz, que era da geração de Elimeleque.
4 And Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the grain-cutters, The Lord be with you. And they made answer, The Lord give you his blessing.
4 E eis que Boaz veio de Belém e disse aos segadores: O SENHOR seja convosco. E disseram-lhe eles: O SENHOR te abençoe.
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in authority over the cutters, Whose girl is this?
5 Depois, disse Boaz a seu moço que estava posto sobre os segadores: De quem é esta moça?
6 And the servant who was in authority over the cutters said, It is a Moabite girl who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab;
6 E respondeu o moço que estava posto sobre os segadores e disse: Esta é a moça moabita que voltou com Noemi dos campos de Moabe.
7 And she said to me, Let me come into the grain-field and take up the grain after the cutters. So she came, and has been here from morning till now, without resting even for a minute.
7 Disse-me ela: Deixa-me colher espigas e ajuntá-las entre as gavelas após os segadores. Assim, ela veio e, desde pela manhã, está aqui até agora, a não ser um pouco que esteve sentada em casa.
8 Then said Boaz to Ruth, Give ear to me, my daughter: do not go to take up the grain in another field, or go away from here, but keep here by my young women:
8 Então, disse Boaz a Rute: Não ouves, filha minha? Não vás colher a outro campo, nem tampouco passes daqui; porém aqui te ajuntarás com as minhas moças.
9 Keep your eyes on the field they are cutting, and go after them; have I not given orders to the young men not to put a hand on you? And when you are in need of drink go to the vessels and take of what the young men have put there.
9 Os teus olhos estarão atentos no campo que segarem, e irás após elas; não dei ordem aos moços, que te não toquem? Tendo tu sede, vai aos vasos e bebe do que os moços tirarem.
10 Then she went down on her face to the earth, and said to him, Why have I grace in your eyes, that you give attention to me, seeing I am from a strange people?
10 Então, ela caiu sobre o seu rosto, e se inclinou à terra, e disse-lhe: Por que achei graça em teus olhos, para que faças caso de mim, sendo eu uma estrangeira?
11 And Boaz answering said to her, I have had news of everything you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; how you went away from your father and mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people who are strange to you.
11 E respondeu Boaz e disse-lhe: Bem se me contou quanto fizeste à tua sogra, depois da morte de teu marido, e deixaste a teu pai, e a tua mãe, e a terra onde nasceste, e vieste para um povo que, dantes, não conheceste.
12 The Lord give you a reward for what you have done, and may a full reward be given to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take cover.
12 O SENHOR galardoe o teu feito, e seja cumprido o teu galardão do SENHOR, Deus de Israel, sob cujas asas te vieste abrigar.
13 Then she said, May I have grace in your eyes, my lord, for you have given me comfort, and you have said kind words to your servant, though I am not like one of your servants.
13 E disse ela: Ache eu graça em teus olhos, senhor meu, pois me consolaste e falaste ao coração da tua serva, não sendo eu nem ainda como uma das tuas criadas.
14 And at meal-time Boaz said to her, Come here, and take some of the bread, and put your bit into the wine. And she took her seat among the grain-cutters: and he gave her dry grain, and she took it, and there was more than enough for her meal.
14 E, sendo já hora de comer, disse-lhe Boaz: Achega-te aqui, e come do pão, e molha o teu bocado no vinagre. E ela se assentou ao lado dos segadores, e ele lhe deu do trigo tostado, e comeu e se fartou, e ainda lhe sobejou.
15 And when she got ready to take up the grain, Boaz gave his young men orders, saying, Let her take it even from among the cut grain, and say nothing to her.
15 E, levantando-se ela a colher, Boaz deu ordem aos seus moços, dizendo: Até entre as gavelas deixai-a colher e não lhe embaraceis.
16 And let some heads of grain be pulled out of what has been corded up, and dropped for her to take, and let no sharp word be said to her.
16 E deixai cair alguns punhados, e deixai-os ficar, para que os colha, e não a repreendais.
17 So she went on getting together the heads of grain till evening; and after crushing out the seed it came to about an ephah of grain.
17 E esteve ela apanhando naquele campo até à tarde e debulhou o que apanhou, e foi quase um efa de cevada.
18 And she took it up and went into the town; and she let her mother-in-law see what she had got, and after taking enough for herself she gave her the rest.
18 E tomou-o e veio à cidade; e viu sua sogra o que tinha apanhado; também tirou e deu-lhe o que lhe sobejara depois de fartar-se.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, Where did you take up the grain today, and where were you working? May a blessing be on him who gave such attention to you. And she gave her mother-in-law an account of where she had been working, and said, The name of the man with whom I was working today is Boaz.
19 Então, disse-lhe sua sogra: Onde colheste hoje e onde trabalhaste? Bendito seja aquele que te reconheceu. E relatou à sua sogra com quem tinha trabalhado e disse: O nome do homem com quem hoje trabalhei é Boaz.
20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, May the blessing of the Lord, who has at all times been kind to the living and to the dead, be on him. And Naomi said to her, The man is of our family, one of our near relations.
20 Então, Noemi disse à sua nora: Bendito seja do SENHOR, que ainda não tem deixado a sua beneficência nem para com os vivos nem para com os mortos. Disse-lhe mais Noemi: Este homem é nosso parente chegado e um dentre os nossos remidores.
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, Truly, he said to me, Keep near my young men till all my grain is cut.
21 E disse Rute, a moabita: Também ainda me disse: Com os moços que tenho te ajuntarás, até que acabem toda a sega que tenho.
22 And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, It is better, my daughter, for you to go out with his servant-girls, so that no danger may come to you in another field.
22 E disse Noemi à sua nora, Rute: Melhor é, filha minha, que saias com as suas moças, para que noutro campo não te encontrem.
23 So she kept near the servant-girls of Boaz to take up the grain till the cutting of the early grain and the cutting of the late grain were ended; and she went on living with her mother-in-law.
23 Assim, ajuntou-se com as moças de Boaz, para colher, até que a sega das cevadas e dos trigos se acabou; e ficou com a sua sogra.
Ruth 3
1 And Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, My daughter, am I not to get you a resting-place where you may be in comfort?
1 E disse-lhe Noemi, sua sogra: Minha filha, não hei de eu buscar descanso, para que fiques bem?
2 And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor.
2 Ora, pois, não é Boaz, com cujas moças estiveste, de nossa parentela? Eis que esta noite padejará a cevada na eira.
3 So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.
3 Lava-te, pois, e unge-te, e veste as tuas vestes, e desce à eira; porém não te dês a conhecer ao homem, até que tenha acabado de comer e beber.
4 But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do.
4 E há de ser que, quando ele se deitar, notarás o lugar em que se deitar; então, entra, e descobrir-lhe-ás os pés, e te deitarás, e ele te fará saber o que deves fazer.
5 And she said, I will do all you say.
5 E ela lhe disse: Tudo quanto me disseres farei.
6 So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.
6 Então, foi para a eira e fez conforme tudo quanto sua sogra lhe tinha ordenado.
7 Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest.
7 Havendo, pois, Boaz comido e bebido, e estando já o seu coração alegre, veio deitar-se ao pé de um monte de cereais; então, veio ela de mansinho, e lhe descobriu os pés, e se deitou.
8 Now in the middle of the night, the man awaking from his sleep in fear, and lifting himself up, saw a woman stretched at his feet.
8 E sucedeu que, pela meia-noite, o homem estremeceu e se voltou; e eis que uma mulher jazia a seus pés.
9 And he said, Who are you? And she answering said, I am your servant Ruth: take your servant as wife, for you are a near relation.
9 E disse ele: Quem és tu? E ela disse: Sou Rute, tua serva; estende, pois, tua aba sobre a tua serva, porque tu és o remidor.
10 And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth.
10 E disse ele: Bendita sejas tu do SENHOR, minha filha; melhor fizeste esta tua última beneficência do que a primeira, pois após nenhuns jovens foste, quer pobres quer ricos.
11 And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.
11 Agora, pois, minha filha, não temas; tudo quanto disseste te farei, pois toda a cidade do meu povo sabe que és mulher virtuosa.
12 Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.
12 Porém, agora, é muito verdade que eu sou remidor; mas ainda outro remidor há mais chegado do que eu.
13 Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so.
13 Fica-te aqui esta noite, e será que, pela manhã, se ele te redimir, bem está, ele te redima; porém, se te não quiser redimir, vive o SENHOR, que eu te redimirei; deita-te aqui até à manhã.
14 And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone’s knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor.
14 Ficou-se, pois, deitada a seus pés até pela manhã e levantou-se antes que pudesse um conhecer a outro, porquanto disse: Não se saiba que alguma mulher veio à eira.
15 And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.
15 Disse mais: Dá cá o roupão que tens sobre ti e segura-o. E ela segurou-o; e ele mediu seis medidas de cevada e lhas pôs em cima; então, entrou na cidade.
16 And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.
16 E veio à sua sogra, a qual disse: Como se te passaram as coisas, minha filha? E ela lhe contou tudo quanto aquele homem lhe fizera.
17 And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.
17 Disse mais: Estas seis medidas de cevada me deu, porque me disse: Não vás vazia à tua sogra.
18 Then she said, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through.
18 Então, disse ela: Sossega, minha filha, até que saibas como irá o caso, porque aquele homem não descansará até que conclua hoje este negócio.
Ruth 4
1 And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated.
1 E Boaz subiu à porta e assentou-se ali; e eis que o remidor de que Boaz tinha falado ia passando e disse-lhe: Ó fulano, desvia-te para cá e assenta-te aqui. E desviou-se para ali e assentou-se.
2 Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats.
2 Então, tomou dez homens dos anciãos da cidade e disse: Assentai-vos aqui. E assentaram-se.
3 Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech’s:
3 Então, disse ao remidor: Aquela parte da terra que foi de Elimeleque, nosso irmão, Noemi, que tornou da terra dos moabitas, a vendeu.
4 And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.
4 E disse eu: Manifestá-lo-ei em teus ouvidos, dizendo: Toma-a diante dos habitantes e diante dos anciãos do meu povo; se a hás de redimir, redime-a e, se não se houver de redimir, declara-mo, para que o saiba, pois outro não há, senão tu, que a redima, e eu depois de ti. Então, disse ele: Eu a redimirei.
5 Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.
5 Disse, porém, Boaz: No dia em que tomares a terra da mão de Noemi, também a tomarás da mão de Rute, a moabita, mulher do falecido, para suscitar o nome do falecido sobre a sua herdade.
6 And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation’s part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.
6 Então, disse o remidor: Para mim não a poderei redimir, para que não cause dano à minha herdade; redime tu a minha remissão para ti, porque eu não a poderei redimir.
7 Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.
7 Havia, pois, já de muito tempo este costume em Israel, quanto à remissão e contrato, para confirmar todo negócio, que o homem descalçava o sapato e o dava ao seu próximo; e isto era por testemunho em Israel.
8 So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.
8 Disse, pois, o remidor a Boaz: Toma-a para ti. E descalçou o sapato.
9 Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech’s, and everything which was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s.
9 Então, Boaz disse aos anciãos e a todo o povo: Sois, hoje, testemunhas de que tomei tudo quanto foi de Elimeleque, e de Quiliom, e de Malom da mão de Noemi;
10 And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day.
10 e de que também tomo por mulher a Rute, a moabita, que foi mulher de Malom, para suscitar o nome do falecido sobre a sua herdade, para que o nome do falecido não seja desarraigado dentre seus irmãos e da porta do seu lugar; disto sois hoje testemunhas.
11 And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;
11 E todo o povo que estava na porta e os anciãos disseram: Somos testemunhas; o SENHOR faça a esta mulher, que entra na tua casa, como a Raquel e como a Léia, que ambas edificaram a casa de Israel; e há-te já valorosamente em Efrata e faze-te nome afamado em Belém.
12 May your family be like the family of Perez, the son whom Tamar gave to Judah, from the offspring which the Lord may give you by this young woman.
12 E seja a tua casa como a casa de Perez (que Tamar teve de Judá), da semente que o SENHOR te der desta moça.
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.
13 Assim, tomou Boaz a Rute, e ela lhe foi por mulher; e ele entrou a ela, e o SENHOR lhe deu conceição, e ela teve um filho.
14 And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.
14 Então, as mulheres disseram a Noemi: Bendito seja o SENHOR, que não deixou, hoje, de te dar remidor, e seja o seu nome afamado em Israel.
15 He will be a giver of new life to you, and your comforter when you are old, for your daughter-in-law, who, in her love for you, is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.
15 Ele te será recriador da alma e conservará a tua velhice, pois tua nora, que te ama, o teve, e ela te é melhor do que sete filhos.
16 And Naomi took the child and put her arms round it, and she took care of it.
16 E Noemi tomou o filho, e o pôs no seu regaço, e foi sua ama.
17 And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
17 E as vizinhas lhe deram um nome, dizendo: A Noemi nasceu um filho. E chamaram o seu nome Obede. Este é o pai de Jessé, pai de Davi.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;
18 Estas são, pois, as gerações de Perez: Perez gerou a Esrom,
19 And Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab;
19 e Esrom gerou a Arão, e Arão gerou a Aminadabe,
20 And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;
20 e Aminadabe gerou a Naassom, e Naassom gerou a Salmom,
21 And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;
21 e Salmom gerou a Boaz, e Boaz gerou a Obede,
22 And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
22 e Obede gerou a Jessé, e Jessé gerou a Davi.
