Rute 2 - Bíblia Online

Noemi tinha em Belém um parente do marido, um homem muito rico chamado Boaz. 
Em certa ocasião Rute disse a Noemi: Olha, vou aí aos campos de algum homem rico a ver se apanho os grãos que vão caindo atrás dos ceifeiros.Pois sim, minha filha, vai lá então. 
E ela foi. Aconteceu precisamente que o campo onde foi calhar era o do tal Boaz, o parente de Noemi por afinidade. 
Boaz por sinal apareceu ali, vindo da cidade enquanto Rute lá estava. Depois de saudar os ceifeiros, disse para o capataz: Escuta, quem é aquela rapariga que ali está? 
É a moabita que veio com Noemi. Pediu-me esta manhã se podia apanhar as espigas caídas atrás dos ceifeiros e cá tem estado sempre, excepto para descansar um pouco à sombra. 
Boaz foi ter com ela para lhe falar: Minha filha, fica aqui neste campo connosco para apanhares as espigas. Não precisas de ir a outros campos. Junta-te às moças que aí estão a trabalhar. Já avisei os rapazes para não te incomodarem; quando tiveres sede vai beber à tua vontade. 
Ela agradeceu-lhe muito: Não há razão para seres assim tão amável para comigo. Sabes bem que não passo duma estrangeira. 
Sim, eu sei. Mas sei também de toda a afeição e carinho que tens mostrado para com a tua sogra, desde a morte do teu marido, e como preferiste deixar o teu pai e a tua mãe para vires viver entre estranhos. 
Que o Senhor Deus de Israel, sob cujas asas vieste refugiar-te, te abençoe por isso tudo. 
Agradeço-te muito. Foste muito bom para mim, não sendo eu sequer uma empregada tua! 
À hora do almoço, Boaz chamou-a: Vem comer connosco. Rute veio sentar-se junto dos ceifeiros e ele serviu-a abundantemente, muito mais do que ela podia comer. 
Quando a jovem voltou para o trabalho, Boaz disse para o capataz que a deixasse apanhar mesmo entre os feixes sem lhe dizer nada, e que fizesse mesmo de propósito para deixar cair espigas, sem que ela se sentisse incomodada em as apanhar. 
E assim ficou ali o dia todo. Ao fim da tarde, quando foi juntar o que debulhara, contou uns trinta e cinco litros! Trouxe o grão para a povoação e entregou-o à sogra, mais o que lhe sobejara do almoço. 
Mas tanto!, exclamou Noemi. Onde é que andaste tu hoje a apanhar? Que Deus abençoe quem foi tão bom para contigo.E Rute contou-lhe tudo o que se passara, dizendo que o dono do campo se chamava Boaz. 
Que o Senhor seja louvado porque continua a abençoar-nos a nós,os vivos, tanto quanto aos que já morreram!, exclamou Noemi comovida. Porque esse homem é um dos nossos parentes mais chegados! 
E ele disse-me mesmo para lá ficar, atrás dos ceifeiros, até que todo o campo estivesse ceifado. 
Isso é maravilhoso! Ouve bem; faz tudo conforme ele te disse. Fica lá com as outras moças até ao fim da ceifa. Estarás lá muito mais segura do que em qualquer outro campo! 
Rute assim fez, ficando lá apanhar espigas até ao fim das ceifas, tanto da cevada como do trigo. 

And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz. 
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose eyes I will find favor. And she said to her, Go, my daughter. 
And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and by chance she happened on the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech. 
And, look, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, Yahweh be with you{+}. And they answered him, Yahweh bless you. 
Then Boaz said to his attendant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? 
And the attendant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabite damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab: 
And she said, Let me glean, I pray you{+}, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and has remained standing from morning until now; her sitting now in the house [has only been] for a moment. 
Then said Boaz to Ruth, Do you not hear, my daughter? Don't go to glean in another field, neither pass from here, but stick here by my maidens. 
Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them: have I not charged the young men that they will not touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. 
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, seeing I am a foreigner? 
And Boaz answered and said to her, It has fully been shown to 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 nativity, and have come to a people who you didn't know before. 
Yahweh recompense your work, and a full reward be given you of Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you came to take refuge. 
Then she said, Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, for you have comforted me and you have spoken kindly to your female slave, though I am not as one of your female slaves. 
And at mealtime Boaz said to her, Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers, and he passed to her roasted grain, and she ate, and was sufficed, and left of it. 
And 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. 
And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and don't rebuke her. 
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. 
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 which she had left after she was sufficed. 
And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today? And where have you wrought? Blessed be he who took knowledge of you. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought today is Boaz. 
And 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. And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of our near kinsmen. 
And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yes, he said to me, You will stick by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest. 
And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they don't meet you in any other field. 
So she stuck by the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
