3ΡΟΥΘRUTH (Brenton-Septuagint)Reference

1Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῇ Νωεμιν ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς Θύγατερ, οὐ μὴ ζητήσω σοι ἀνάπαυσιν, ἵνα εὖ γένηταί σοι; And she lodged with her mother-in-law: and Noemin her mother-in-law said to her My daughter shall I not seek rest for thee that it may be well with thee?Ruth finds a husband. Ru.3.1-18
2καὶ νῦν οὐχὶ Βοος γνώριμος ἡμῶν, οὗ ἦς μετὰ τῶν κορασίων αὐτοῦ; ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς λικμᾷ τὸν ἅλωνα τῶν κριθῶν ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτί. And now [is] not Booz our kinsman with whose damsels thou wast? behold he winnows barley this night in the floor. 
3σὺ δὲ λούσῃ καὶ ἀλείψῃ καὶ περιθήσεις τὸν ἱματισμόν σου ἐπὶ σεαυτῇ καὶ ἀναβήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸν ἅλω· μὴ γνωρισθῇς τῷ ἀνδρὶ ἕως οὗ συντελέσαι αὐτὸν πιεῖν καὶ φαγεῖν· But do thou wash and anoint thyself and put thy raiment upon thee and go up to the threshing-floor: do not discover thyself to the man until he has done eating and drinking. 
4καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτόν, καὶ γνώσῃ τὸν τόπον, ὅπου κοιμᾶται ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐλεύσῃ καὶ ἀποκαλύψεις τὰ πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ κοιμηθήσῃ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπαγγελεῖ σοι ἃ ποιήσεις. And it shall come to pass when he lies down that thou shalt mark the place where he lies down and shalt come and lift up the covering of his feet and shalt lie down; and he shall tell thee what thou shalt do. 
5εἶπεν δὲ Ρουθ πρὸς αὐτήν Πάντα, ὅσα ἐὰν εἴπῃς, ποιήσω. And Ruth said to her All that thou shalt say I will do. 
6καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὸν ἅλω καὶ ἐποίησεν κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐνετείλατο αὐτῇ ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς. And she went down to the threshing-floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law enjoined her. 
7καὶ ἔφαγεν Βοος, καὶ ἠγαθύνθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθεν κοιμηθῆναι ἐν μερίδι τῆς στοιβῆς· ἡ δὲ ἦλθεν κρυφῇ καὶ ἀπεκάλυψεν τὰ πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. And Booz ate and drank and his heart was glad and he came to lie down by the side of the heap of corn; and she came secretly and lifted up the covering of his feet. 
8ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ μεσονυκτίῳ καὶ ἐξέστη ὁ ἀνὴρ καὶ ἐταράχθη, καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ κοιμᾶται πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. And it came to pass at midnight that the man was amazed and troubled and behold a woman lay at his feet. 
9εἶπεν δέ Τίς εἶ σύ; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Ἑγώ εἰμι Ρουθ ἡ δούλη σου, καὶ περιβαλεῖς τὸ πτερύγιόν σου ἐπὶ τὴν δούλην σου, ὅτι ἀγχιστεὺς εἶ σύ. And he said Who art thou? and she said I am thine handmaid Ruth; spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid for thou art a near relation. 
10καὶ εἶπεν Βοος Εὐλογημένη σὺ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ, θύγατερ, ὅτι ἠγάθυνας τὸ ἔλεός σου τὸ ἔσχατον ὑπὲρ τὸ πρῶτον, τὸ μὴ πορευθῆναί σε ὀπίσω νεανιῶν, εἴτοι πτωχὸς εἴτοι πλούσιος. And Booz said Blessed [be] thou of the Lord God [my] daughter for thou hast made thy latter kindness greater than the former in that thou followest not after young men 
11καὶ νῦν, θύγατερ, μὴ φοβοῦ· πάντα, ὅσα ἐὰν εἴπῃς, ποιήσω σοι· οἶδεν γὰρ πᾶσα φυλὴ λαοῦ μου ὅτι γυνὴ δυνάμεως εἶ σύ, And now fear not my daughter whatever thou shalt say I will do to thee; for all the tribe of my people knows that thou art a virtuous woman. 
12καὶ ὅτι ἀληθῶς ἀγχιστεὺς ἐγώ εἰμι, καί γε ἔστιν ἀγχιστεὺς ἐγγίων ὑπὲρ ἐμέ. And now I am truly akin to thee; nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I. 
13αὐλίσθητι τὴν νύκτα, καὶ ἔσται τὸ πρωί, ἐὰν ἀγχιστεύσῃ σε, ἀγαθόν, ἀγχιστευέτω· ἐὰν δὲ μὴ βούληται ἀγχιστεῦσαί σε, ἀγχιστεύσω σε ἐγώ, ζῇ κύριος· κοιμήθητι ἕως πρωί. Lodge [here] for the night and it shall be in the morning if he will do the part of a kinsman to thee well-- let him do it: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee I will do the kinsman's part to thee 
14καὶ ἐκοιμήθη πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ ἕως πρωί. ἡ δὲ ἀνέστη πρὸ τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναι ἄνδρα τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Βοος Μὴ γνωσθήτω ὅτι ἦλθεν γυνὴ εἰς τὸν ἅλωνα. And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before a man could know his neighbour; and Booz said Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor. 
15καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Φέρε τὸ περίζωμα τὸ ἐπάνω σου. καὶ ἐκράτησεν αὐτό, καὶ ἐμέτρησεν ἓξ κριθῶν καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπ' αὐτήν· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν. And he said to her Bring the apron that is upon thee: and she held it and he measured six measures of barley and put them upon her and she went into the city. 
16καὶ Ρουθ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς· ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Τίς εἶ, θύγατερ· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἀνήρ. And Ruth went in to her mother-in-law and she said to her [My] daughter! and [Ruth] told her all that the man had done to her. 
17καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Τὰ ἓξ τῶν κριθῶν ταῦτα ἔδωκέν μοι, ὅτι εἶπεν πρός με Μὴ εἰσέλθῃς κενὴ πρὸς τὴν πενθεράν σου. And she said to her He gave me these six measures of barley for he said to me Go not empty to thy mother-in-law. 
18ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Κάθου, θύγατερ, ἕως τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναί σε πῶς οὐ πεσεῖται ῥῆμα· οὐ γὰρ μὴ ἡσυχάσῃ ὁ ἀνήρ, ἕως ἂν τελέσῃ τὸ ῥῆμα σήμερον. And she said Sit still [my] daughter until thou shalt know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.

Notes:The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text.)
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica 1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages.
Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
