Ruth 3 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Boaz Will Redeem Ruth

Rth 3:1And Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

Rth 3:2

Rth 3:2And now, is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he is winnowing barley in the threshing-floor to-night.

Rth 3:3

Rth 3:3Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thyself, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go down to the floor; make not thyself known to the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.

Rth 3:4

Rth 3:4And it shall be, when he lies down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall have lain down, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thyself down; and he will shew thee what thou shalt do.

Rth 3:5

Rth 3:5And she said to her, All that thou sayest will I do.

Rth 3:6

Rth 3:6And she went down to the floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law had bidden her.

Rth 3:7

Rth 3:7And Boaz ate and drank, and his heart was merry, and he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn. Then she went softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid herself down.

Rth 3:8

Rth 3:8And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was startled, and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.

Rth 3:9

Rth 3:9And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth, thy handmaid: spread thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou hast the right of redemption.

Rth 3:10

Rth 3:10And he said, Blessed be thou of Jehovah, my daughter! Thou hast shewn more kindness at the end than at the first, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

Rth 3:11

Rth 3:11And now, my daughter, fear not: all that thou sayest will I do to thee; for all the gate of my people knows that thou art a woman of worth.

Rth 3:12

Rth 3:12And now, truly I am one that has the right of redemption, yet there is one that has the right of redemption who is nearer than I.

Rth 3:13

Rth 3:13Stay over to-night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will redeem thee, well -- let him redeem; but if he like not to redeem thee, then will I redeem thee, as Jehovah liveth. Lie down until the morning.

Rth 3:14

Rth 3:14And 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 threshing-floor.

Rth 3:15

Rth 3:15And he said, Bring the cloak that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he went into the city.

Rth 3:16

Rth 3:16And she came to her mother-in-law; and she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.

Rth 3:17

Rth 3:17And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother-in-law.

Rth 3:18

Rth 3:18Then she said, Be still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest until he have completed the matter this day.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
