| 1:1 It happened in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to live in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. | 1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. | 1 さばきづかさが世を治めているころ、国に飢きんがあったので、ひとりの人がその妻とふたりの男の子を連れてユダのベツレヘムを去り、モアブの地へ行ってそこに滞在した。 |
| 1:2 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 Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab, and continued there. | 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 Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. | 2 その人の名はエリメレク、妻の名はナオミ、ふたりの男の子の名はマロンとキリオンといい、ユダのベツレヘムのエフラタびとであった。彼らはモアブの地へ行って、そこにおったが、 |
| 1:3 Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. | 3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. | 3 ナオミの夫エリメレクは死んで、ナオミとふたりの男の子が残された。 |
| 1:4 They took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years. | 4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. | 4 ふたりの男の子はそれぞれモアブの女を妻に迎えた。そのひとりの名はオルパといい、ひとりの名はルツといった。彼らはそこに十年ほど住んでいたが、 |
| 1:5 Mahlon and Chilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband. | 5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. | 5 マロンとキリオンのふたりもまた死んだ。こうしてナオミはふたりの子と夫とに先だたれた。 |
| 1:6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Yahweh *1 had visited his people in giving them bread. | 6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread. | 6 その時、ナオミはモアブの地で、主がその民を顧みて、すでに食物をお与えになっていることを聞いたので、その嫁と共に立って、モアブの地からふるさとへ帰ろうとした。 |
| 1:7 She went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah. | 7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah. | 7 そこで彼女は今いる所を出立し、ユダの地へ帰ろうと、ふたりの嫁を連れて道に進んだ。 |
| 1:8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house: Yahweh deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me. | 8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. | 8 しかしナオミはふたりの嫁に言った、「あなたがたは、それぞれ自分の母の家に帰って行きなさい。あなたがたが、死んだふたりの子とわたしに親切をつくしたように、どうぞ、主があなたがたに、いつくしみを賜わりますよう。 |
| 1:9 Yahweh grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband." Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept. | 9 The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. | 9 どうぞ、主があなたがたに夫を与え、夫の家で、それぞれ身の落ち着き所を得させられるように」。こう言って、ふたりの嫁に口づけしたので、彼らは声をあげて泣き、 |
| 1:10 They said to her, "No, but we will return with you to your people." | 10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people. | 10 ナオミに言った、「いいえ、わたしたちは一緒にあなたの民のところへ帰ります」。 |
| 1:11 Naomi said, "Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? | 11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? | 11 しかしナオミは言った、「娘たちよ、帰って行きなさい。どうして、わたしと一緒に行こうというのですか。あなたがたの夫となる子がまだわたしの胎内にいると思うのですか。 |
| 1:12 Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, 'I have hope,' if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons; | 12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons; | 12 娘たちよ、帰って行きなさい。わたしは年をとっているので、夫をもつことはできません。たとい、わたしが今夜、夫をもち、また子を産む望みがあるとしても、 |
| 1:13 would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Yahweh has gone out against me." | 13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me. | 13 そのためにあなたがたは、子どもの成長するまで待っているつもりなのですか。あなたがたは、そのために夫をもたずにいるつもりなのですか。娘たちよ、それはいけません。主の手がわたしに臨み、わたしを責められたことで、あなたがたのために、わたしは非常に心を痛めているのです」。 |
| 1:14 They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth joined with her. | 14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. | 14 彼らはまた声をあげて泣いた。そしてオルパはそのしゅうとめに口づけしたが、ルツはしゅうとめを離れなかった。 |
| 1:15 She said, "Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law." | 15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. | 15 そこでナオミは言った、「ごらんなさい。あなたの相嫁は自分の民と自分の神々のもとへ帰って行きました。あなたも相嫁のあとについて帰りなさい」。 |
| 1:16 Ruth said, "Don't entreat me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God *2 my God; | 16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: | 16 しかしルツは言った、「あなたを捨て、あなたを離れて帰ることをわたしに勧めないでください。わたしはあなたの行かれる所へ行き、またあなたの宿られる所に宿ります。あなたの民はわたしの民、あなたの神はわたしの神です。 |
| 1:17 where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried. Yahweh do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me." | 17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. | 17 あなたの死なれる所でわたしも死んで、そのかたわらに葬られます。もし死に別れでなく、わたしがあなたと別れるならば、主よ、どうぞわたしをいくえにも罰してください」。 |
| 1:18 When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her. | 18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. | 18 ナオミはルツが自分と一緒に行こうと、固く決心しているのを見たので、そのうえ言うことをやめた。 |
| 1:19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. It happened, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and [the women] said, "Is this Naomi?" | 19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi? | 19 そしてふたりは旅をつづけて、ついにベツレヘムに着いた。彼らがベツレヘムに着いたとき、町はこぞって彼らのために騒ぎたち、女たちは言った、「これはナオミですか」。 |
| 1:20 She said to them, "Don't call me Naomi. Call me Mara; for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. | 20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. | 20 ナオミは彼らに言った、「わたしをナオミ（楽しみ）と呼ばずに、マラ（苦しみ）と呼んでください。なぜなら全能者がわたしをひどく苦しめられたからです。 |
| 1:21 I went out full, and Yahweh has brought me home again empty; why do you call me Naomi, since Yahweh has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?" | 21 I went out full and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? | 21 わたしは出て行くときは豊かでありましたが、主はわたしをから手で帰されました。主がわたしを悩まし、全能者がわたしに災をくだされたのに、どうしてわたしをナオミと呼ぶのですか」。 |
| 1:22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest. | 22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest. | 22 こうしてナオミは、モアブの地から帰った嫁、モアブの女ルツと一緒に帰ってきて、大麦刈の初めにベツレヘムに着いた。 |

| 2:1 Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz. | 1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz. | 1 さてナオミには、夫エリメレクの一族で、非常に裕福なひとりの親戚があって、その名をボアズといった。 |
| 2:2 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 shall find favor." She said to her, "Go, my daughter." | 2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter. | 2 モアブの女ルツはナオミに言った、「どうぞ、わたしを畑に行かせてください。だれか親切な人が見当るならば、わたしはその方のあとについて落ち穂を拾います」。ナオミが彼女に「娘よ、行きなさい」と言ったので、 |
| 2:3 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. | 3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech. | 3 ルツは行って、刈る人たちのあとに従い、畑で落ち穂を拾ったが、彼女ははからずもエリメレクの一族であるボアズの畑の部分にきた。 |
| 2:4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "Yahweh be with you." They answered him, "Yahweh bless you." | 4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee. | 4 その時ボアズは、ベツレヘムからきて、刈る者どもに言った、「主があなたがたと共におられますように」。彼らは答えた、「主があなたを祝福されますように」。 |
| 2:5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, "Whose young lady is this?" | 5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? | 5 ボアズは刈る人たちを監督しているしもべに言った、「これはだれの娘ですか」。 |
| 2:6 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. | 6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab: | 6 刈る人たちを監督しているしもべは答えた、「あれはモアブの女で、モアブの地からナオミと一緒に帰ってきたのですが、 |
| 2:7 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 stayed a little in the house." | 7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house. | 7 彼女は『どうぞ、わたしに、刈る人たちのあとについて、束のあいだで、落ち穂を拾い集めさせてください』と言いました。そして彼女は朝早くきて、今まで働いて、少しのあいだも休みませんでした」。 |
| 2:8 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. | 8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: | 8 ボアズはルツに言った、「娘よ、お聞きなさい。ほかの畑に穂を拾いに行ってはいけません。またここを去ってはなりません。わたしのところで働く女たちを離れないで、ここにいなさい。 |
| 2:9 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." | 9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. | 9 人々が刈りとっている畑に目をとめて、そのあとについて行きなさい。わたしは若者たちに命じて、あなたのじゃまをしないようにと、言っておいたではありませんか。あなたがかわく時には水がめのところへ行って、若者たちのくんだのを飲みなさい」。 |
| 2:10 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?" | 10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger? | 10 彼女は地に伏して拝し、彼に言った、「どうしてあなたは、わたしのような外国人を顧みて、親切にしてくださるのですか」。 |
| 2:11 Boaz answered her, "It has fully been shown me, all that you have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn't know before. | 11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. | 11 ボアズは答えて彼女に言った、「あなたの夫が死んでこのかた、あなたがしゅうとめにつくしたこと、また自分の父母と生れた国を離れて、かつて知らなかった民のところにきたことは皆わたしに聞えました。 |
| 2:12 May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge." | 12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. | 12 どうぞ、主があなたのしたことに報いられるように。どうぞ、イスラエルの神、主、すなわちあなたがその翼の下に身を寄せようとしてきた主からじゅうぶんの報いを得られるように」。 |
| 2:13 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 handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens." | 13 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens. | 13 彼女は言った、「わが主よ、まことにありがとうございます。わたしはあなたのはしためのひとりにも及ばないのに、あなたはこんなにわたしを慰め、はしためにねんごろに語られました」。 |
| 2:14 At meal time Boaz said to her, "Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar." She sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it. | 14 And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left. | 14 食事の時、ボアズは彼女に言った、「ここへきて、パンを食べ、あなたの食べる物を酢に浸しなさい」。彼女が刈る人々のかたわらにすわったので、ボアズは焼麦を彼女に与えた。彼女は飽きるほど食べて残した。 |
| 2:15 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. | 15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: | 15 そして彼女がまた穂を拾おうと立ちあがったとき、ボアズは若者たちに命じて言った、「彼女には束の間でも穂を拾わせなさい。とがめてはならない。 |
| 2:16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and don't rebuke her." | 16 And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not. | 16 また彼女のために束からわざと抜き落しておいて拾わせなさい。しかってはならない」。 |
| 2:17 So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah *3 of barley. | 17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley. | 17 こうして彼女は夕暮まで畑で落ち穂を拾った。そして拾った穂を打つと、大麦は一エパほどあった。 |
| 2:18 She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed. | 18 And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed. | 18 彼女はそれを携えて町にはいり、しゅうとめにその拾ったものを見せ、かつ食べ飽きて、残して持ちかえったものを取り出して与えた。 |
| 2:19 Her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you." She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz." | 19 And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz. | 19 しゅうとめは彼女に言った、「あなたは、きょう、どこで穂を拾いましたか。どこで働きましたか。あなたをそのように顧みてくださったかたに、どうか祝福があるように」。そこで彼女は自分がだれの所で働いたかを、しゅうとめに告げて、「わたしが、きょう働いたのはボアズという名の人の所です」と言った。 |
| 2:20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of Yahweh, who has not left off 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." | 20 And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen. | 20 ナオミは嫁に言った、「生きている者をも、死んだ者をも、顧みて、いつくしみを賜わる主が、どうぞその人を祝福されますように」。ナオミはまた彼女に言った、「その人はわたしたちの縁者で、最も近い親戚のひとりです」。 |
| 2:21 Ruth the Moabitess said, "Yes, he said to me, 'You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'" | 21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest. | 21 モアブの女ルツは言った、「その人はまたわたしに『あなたはわたしのところの刈入れが全部終るまで、わたしのしもべたちのそばについていなさい』と言いました」。 |
| 2:22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field." | 22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field. | 22 ナオミは嫁ルツに言った、「娘よ、その人のところで働く女たちと一緒に出かけるのはけっこうです。そうすればほかの畑で人にいじめられるのを免れるでしょう」。 |
| 2:23 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. | 23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law. | 23 それで彼女はボアズのところで働く女たちのそばについていて穂を拾い、大麦刈と小麦刈の終るまでそうした。こうして彼女はしゅうとめと一緒に暮した。 |

| 3:1 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you? | 1 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee? | 1 時にしゅうとめナオミは彼女に言った、「娘よ、わたしはあなたの落ち着き所を求めて、あなたをしあわせにすべきではないでしょうか。 |
| 3:2 Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing floor. | 2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor. | 2 あなたが一緒に働いた女たちの主人ボアズはわたしたちの親戚ではありませんか。彼は今夜、打ち場で大麦をあおぎ分けます。 |
| 3:3 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. | 3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking. | 3 それであなたは身を洗って油をぬり、晴れ着をまとって打ち場に下って行きなさい。ただ、あなたはその人が飲み食いを終るまで、その人に知られてはなりません。 |
| 3:4 It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lay down; then he will tell you what you shall do." | 4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do. | 4 そしてその人が寝る時、その寝る場所を見定め、はいって行って、その足の所をまくって、そこに寝なさい。彼はあなたのすべきことを知らせるでしょう」。 |
| 3:5 She said to her, "All that you say I will do." | 5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do. | 5 ルツはしゅうとめに言った、「あなたのおっしゃることを皆いたしましょう」。 |
| 3:6 She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her. | 6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her. | 6 こうして彼女は打ち場に下り、すべてしゅうとめが命じたとおりにした。 |
| 3:7 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 laid her down. | 7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down. | 7 ボアズは飲み食いして、心をたのしませたあとで、麦を積んである場所のかたわらへ行って寝た。そこで彼女はひそかに行き、ボアズの足の所をまくって、そこに寝た。 |
| 3:8 It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet. | 8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet. | 8 夜中になって、その人は驚き、起きかえって見ると、ひとりの女が足のところに寝ていたので、 |
| 3:9 He said, "Who are you?" She answered, "I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread your skirt over your handmaid; for you are a near kinsman." | 9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman. | 9 「あなたはだれですか」と言うと、彼女は答えた、「わたしはあなたのはしためルツです。あなたのすそで、はしためをおおってください。あなたは最も近い親戚です」。 |
| 3:10 He said, "Blessed are you by Yahweh, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, whether poor or rich. | 10 And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich. | 10 ボアズは言った、「娘よ、どうぞ、主があなたを祝福されるように。あなたは貧富にかかわらず若い人に従い行くことはせず、あなたが最後に示したこの親切は、さきに示した親切にまさっています。 |
| 3:11 Now, my daughter, don't be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman. | 11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman. | 11 それで、娘よ、あなたは恐れるにおよびません。あなたが求めることは皆、あなたのためにいたしましょう。わたしの町の人々は皆、あなたがりっぱな女であることを知っているからです。 |
| 3:12 Now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is a kinsman nearer than I. | 12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I. | 12 たしかにわたしは近い親戚ではありますが、わたしよりも、もっと近い親戚があります。 |
| 3:13 Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part. But if he will not do the part of a kinsman for you, then will I do the part of a kinsman for you, as Yahweh lives. Lie down until the morning." | 13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning. | 13 今夜はここにとどまりなさい。朝になって、もしその人が、あなたのために親戚の義務をつくすならば、よろしい、その人にさせなさい。しかし主は生きておられます。その人が、あなたのために親戚の義務をつくすことを好まないならば、わたしはあなたのために親戚の義務をつくしましょう。朝までここにおやすみなさい」。 |
| 3:14 She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor." | 14 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor. | 14 ルツは朝まで彼の足のところに寝たが、だれかれの見分け難いころに起きあがった。それはボアズが「この女の打ち場にきたことが人に知られてはならない」と言ったからである。 |
| 3:15 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; and he went into the city. | 15 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city. | 15 そしてボアズは言った、「あなたの着る外套を持ってきて、それを広げなさい」。彼女がそれを広げると、ボアズは大麦六オメルをはかって彼女に負わせた。彼女は町に帰り、 |
| 3:16 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 to her. | 16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her. | 16 しゅうとめのところへ行くと、しゅうとめは言った、「娘よ、どうでしたか」。そこでルツはその人が彼女にしたことをことごとく告げて、 |
| 3:17 She said, "He gave me these six [measures] of barley; for he said, 'Don't go empty to your mother-in-law.'" | 17 And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law. | 17 言った、「あのかたはわたしに向かって、から手で、しゅうとめのところへ帰ってはならないと言って、この大麦六オメルをわたしにくださいました」。 |
| 3:18 Then she said, "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day." | 18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day. | 18 しゅうとめは言った、「娘よ、この事がどうなるかわかるまでお待ちなさい。あの人は、きょう、その事を決定しなければ落ち着かないでしょう」。 |

| 4:1 Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, "Come over here, friend, and sit down!" He turned aside, and sat down. | 1 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. | 1 ボアズは町の門のところへ上っていって、そこにすわった。すると、さきにボアズが言った親戚の人が通り過ぎようとしたので、ボアズはその人に言った、「友よ、こちらへきて、ここにおすわりください」。彼はきてすわった。 |
| 4:2 He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here." They sat down. | 2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. | 2 ボアズはまた町の長老十人を招いて言った、「ここにおすわりください」。彼らがすわった時、 |
| 4:3 He said to the near kinsman, "Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's. | 3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: | 3 ボアズは親戚の人に言った、「モアブの地から帰ってきたナオミは、われわれの親族エリメレクの地所を売ろうとしています。 |
| 4:4 I thought to disclose it to you, saying, 'Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.' If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you." He said, "I will redeem it." | 4 And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. | 4 それでわたしはそのことをあなたに知らせて、ここにすわっている人々と、民の長老たちの前で、それを買いなさいと、あなたに言おうと思いました。もし、あなたが、それをあがなおうと思われるならば、あがなってください。しかし、あなたがそれをあがなわないならば、わたしにそう言って知らせてください。それをあがなう人は、あなたのほかにはなく、わたしはあなたの次ですから」。彼は言った、「わたしがあがないましょう」。 |
| 4:5 Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance." | 5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. | 5 そこでボアズは言った、「あなたがナオミの手からその地所を買う時には、死んだ者の妻であったモアブの女ルツをも買って、死んだ者の名を起してその嗣業を伝えなければなりません」。 |
| 4:6 The near kinsman said, "I can't redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can't redeem it." | 6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. | 6 その親戚の人は言った、「それでは、わたしにはあがなうことができません。そんなことをすれば自分の嗣業をそこないます。あなたがわたしに代って、自分であがなってください。わたしはあがなうことができませんから」。 |
| 4:7 Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the [way of] attestation in Israel. | 7 Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel. | 7 むかしイスラエルでは、物をあがなう事と、権利の譲渡について、万事を決定する時のならわしはこうであった。すなわち、その人は、自分のくつを脱いで、相手の人に渡した。これがイスラエルでの証明の方法であった。 |
| 4:8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." He took off his shoe. | 8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. | 8 そこで親戚の人がボアズにむかい「あなたが自分であがないなさい」と言って、そのくつを脱いだので、 |
| 4:9 Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, "You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi. | 9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. | 9 ボアズは長老たちとすべての民に言った、「あなたがたは、きょう、わたしがエリメレクのすべての物およびキリオンとマロンのすべての物をナオミの手から買いとった事の証人です。 |
| 4:10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses this day." | 10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. | 10 またわたしはマロンの妻であったモアブの女ルツをも買って、わたしの妻としました。これはあの死んだ者の名を起してその嗣業を伝え、死んだ者の名がその一族から、またその郷里の門から断絶しないようにするためです。きょうあなたがたは、その証人です」。 |
| 4:11 All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem. | 11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem: | 11 すると門にいたすべての民と長老たちは言った、「わたしたちは証人です。どうぞ、主があなたの家にはいる女を、イスラエルの家をたてたラケルとレアのふたりのようにされますよう。どうぞ、あなたがエフラタで富を得、ベツレヘムで名を揚げられますように。 |
| 4:12 Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Yahweh shall give you of this young woman." | 12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman. | 12 どうぞ、主がこの若い女によってあなたに賜わる子供により、あなたの家が、かのタマルがユダに産んだペレヅの家のようになりますように」。 |
| 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Yahweh gave her conception, and she bore a son. | 13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son. | 13 こうしてボアズはルツをめとって妻とし、彼女のところにはいった。主は彼女をみごもらせられたので、彼女はひとりの男の子を産んだ。 |
| 4:14 The women said to Naomi, "Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left you this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel. | 14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. | 14 そのとき、女たちはナオミに言った、「主はほむべきかな、主はあなたを見捨てずに、きょう、あなたにひとりの近親をお授けになりました。どうぞ、その子の名がイスラエルのうちに高く揚げられますように。 |
| 4:15 He shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him." | 15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him. | 15 彼はあなたのいのちを新たにし、あなたの老年を養う者となるでしょう。あなたを愛するあなたの嫁、七人のむすこにもまさる彼女が彼を産んだのですから」。 |
| 4:16 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it. | 16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. | 16 そこでナオミはその子をとり、ふところに置いて、養い育てた。 |
| 4:17 The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi;" and they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David. | 17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David. | 17 近所の女たちは「ナオミに男の子が生れた」と言って、彼に名をつけ、その名をオベデと呼んだ。彼はダビデの父であるエッサイの父となった。 |
| 4:18 Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron, | 18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, | 18 さてペレヅの子孫は次のとおりである。ペレヅからヘヅロンが生れ、 |
| 4:19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab, | 19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, | 19 ヘヅロンからラムが生れ、ラムからアミナダブが生れ、 |
| 4:20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon, | 20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, | 20 アミナダブからナションが生れ、ナションからサルモンが生れ、 |
| 4:21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed, | 21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, | 21 サルモンからボアズが生れ、ボアズからオベデが生れ、 |
| 4:22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David. Footnotes: | 22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David. | 22 オベデからエッサイが生れ、エッサイからダビデが生れた。 |
