Ludi 2
1 Na: ioumi ea sosogo fi ea dio amo Boua: se, amo da mimogo noga: i dunu amola liligi bagade gagui dunu galu. Amo dunu da Na: ioumi egoa Ilimelege ea sosogo fi dunu amoga.
Now Naomi had a relative on her husband's side whose name was Boaz. He was a rich and influential man from the family of Elimelech.
2 Be ha afaega Ludi e Na: ioumima amane sia: i, “Na amola da ifabia asili gagoma faili gaguli misunu. Na dafawaneyale dawa: be, dunu afae da na ba: le amola ea na amogai, e amola gilisili hawa: hamoma: ya sia: mu.” Na: ioumi e bu sinidigili sia: ne i, “Defea! Nadiwi, di masa!”
Soon after Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the fields and pick up grain that's been left behind—if I can find someone will give me permission.” “Yes, go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied.
3 Amanoba Ludi e ifabia asi amola e da hobea misini, hawa: hamosu dunu ilia gagoma yolesi amo fa: no fofaisa misi. Amo hawa: hamosu hou doaga: i amo da Boua: se ea ifabia amai.
So she went and picked up grain the reapers had left behind. She happened to be working in a field that belonged to Boaz, a relative of Elimelech.
4 Esoha afaega, Boua: se e Bedeleheme sogega ganini misini, hawa: hamosu dunuma hahawane dogolegele sia: sa: i. “Hina Gode da dilima ouesaloma!” ea amane sia: i. Amola ilia da ema bu adole i, “Hina Gode di amola hahawane dogolegele fidima!”
Later on Boaz arrived from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the Lord be with you!” They replied, “The Lord bless you!”
5 Boua: se da ea hawa: hamosu ouligisu hina ema adole ba: i, “Agoe da nowa uda a: finila: ?”
Then Boaz asked his servant who was in charge of the harvesters, “Who is this young woman related to?”
6 Ouligisu hina dunu da amane adole i, “E da sogebi enoga fi uda a: fini amola da Na: ioumi sigi misi. Moua: be sogega ganini misi.
“The young woman is a Moabite who came back with Naomi from Moab,” the servant replied.
7 Ea amola nama adole ba: le, e amola da gagoma ifabi amoga hawa: hamosu dunu bisili hobea faisa bobogemu ea sia: i. E da hahabega mae yolesili hawa: hamone, waha fonobahadi fawane hisiha hele esalu.
“She asked me, ‘Please may I have permission to pick up grain behind the reapers.’ So she came, and she's been working here from morning until now, except for a brief rest in the shelter.”
8 Boua: se e Ludima sia: i, “Na dima fada: i sia: sa. Di gagoma faisia, enodiniga mae faima amola gui fawane faima. Amo di da goe uda bisili goegami hawa: hamonanoma.
Boaz went and spoke to Ruth. “Listen to me, my daughter,” he told her. “Don't leave to go and pick up grain in someone else's field. Stay close to my women.
9 Ili amola ba: la: loma. Ilia fage amo faisia, ilima gilisima. Na amola da na dunu ilima adoi, ‘Amo a: finima mae se nabasima.’ Be mae dawa: ma, di hano hanasea, hano ilia ofodoga di goga moma.”
Pay attention to what part of the field the men are reaping and follow the women. I've told the men not to bother you. When you get thirsty, go and have a drink from the water jars the servants have filled.”
10 Ludi e muguni bugilasa: ili amola ea odagi osobo digili, amola e da Boua: se ema sia: i, “Abuliba: le dia nama bagade dawa: lalosabala: ? Abuliba: le dia da ga fi dunu eno digini mabe ema asigili fidisu hou hamobela: ?”
She bowed down with her face to the ground. “Why are you being so kind to me or even notice me, seeing I'm a foreigner?” she asked him.
11 Boua: se da amane sia: i, “Na nabi da di da dia disoa: amo bagade fidisa ea sia: i, digua bogobeba: le. Na dawa: di da dia ada amola dia ame amola dia soge huluane fisili misini, dunu fi dia hame dawa: amola fimusa: misi.
“I've heard about all you've done for your mother-in-law since your husband died,” Boaz replied. “And also how you left your father and mother, and the land of your birth, to come and live among people you didn't know.
12 Di Ema hawa: hamoiba: le, Hina Gode da di bidi imunu da defea. Amola di da Isala: ili Hina Gode Ea gaga: su hou lalegagumusa: misi dagoiba: le, E da dima bidi bagade imunu da defea.
May the Lord fully reward you for all you've done—the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you've come for protection.
13 Ludi e sia: i, “Di da nama bagade asigisa amola hahawane. Dia na hahawane hamoma: ne di da na bisili noga: le sia: dasu. Amo da na da dia hawa: hamosu dunu fonobahadi hame defei amomane.”
Thank you for being so good to me, sir,” she replied. “You have reassured me by speaking to me kindly. I'm not even one of your servants.”
14 Amogalu, Boua: se e Ludima sia: i, “Misa amola agi fonobahadi a: le, gele moma.” Amanoba e da Boua: se ea hawa: hamosu dunu amola gilisili ha: i manu mai. Boua: se da ema gagoma gala: ine gobei i. Ha: i amo nanu, e sadini, ha: i manu oda gilisi dialebe ba: i.
When it was time to eat, Boaz called her over. “Come here,” he said. “Take some bread and dip it in wine vinegar.” So she sat down with the workers and Boaz passed her some roasted grain to eat. She ate until she'd had enough with some left over.
After Ruth went back to work Boaz told his men, “Let her pick up grain even among the sheaves. Don't say anything to embarrass her.
16 E da gagoma faila asi laloba, Boua: se da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilima sia: sia: i, “Ea faili amola gilisi dobomu da defea, amola ema sia: eno mae sia: ma e yolema: ne da. Be amola gagoma doboi oda ea faima: ne yolesima.”
In fact, pull out some stalks from the bundles you're cutting and leave them for her to pick up. Don't tell her off.”
17 Be Ludi e gagoma huluane gagadolaloba, daeya doaga: le, ifabi ganodini amalu ba: loba, gagoma ea dioi defei da 10gilogala: me agoane doaga: i.
Ruth worked in the field until the evening. When she beat out the grain that she had picked up it was a large amount.
18 E da gagoma ladilalu, moilaiga doaga: le, esoa: da: i ema ea faisu hou olelei amola ha: i manu ea nanu dialebe amo ema i.
She picked it up and took it back to town to show her mother-in-law how much she had collected. Ruth also gave her what she had left over from her meal.
19 Na: ioumi da ema adole ba: i, “Dia goe da habi faibala: ? Nowa ea ifabia, di da hawa: hamonanula: ? Gode Ea da dunu ali hawa: hamonanu amo hahawane dogolegele fidimu da defea!” Be Ludi e Na: ioumima sia: ne i, “Na da dunu afae ea dio Boua: se, ea ifabia hawa: hamonanu.
Naomi asked her, “Where did you pick up grain today? Exactly where did you work? Bless whoever cared enough about you to pay you some attention!” So she told her mother-in-law about who she had worked with. “The man I worked with today is called Boaz.”
20 “Hina Gode da Boua: se hahawane dogolegele fidimu da defea!” Na: ioumi amane sia: i. “Hina Gode da dunu fifi ahoanebe amola bogogia: i dunu ilima Ea hamoma: ne sia: i, amo da mae fisili hamosa.” Amola e bu sia: i, “Amo dunu da ninia gadenene sosogo fi, amo da ninia fi dunudafa.”
“The Lord bless him!” Naomi exclaimed to her daughter-in-law. “He goes on showing his kindness to the living and the dead. That man is a close relative to us—a ‘family redeemer.’”
21 Ludi e sia: i, “Defeadafa e da nama amane sia: i, ‘Na hawa: hamosu go bisili hawa: hamoma amola gamisu hawa: hamone dagoma.’”
Ruth added, “He also told me, ‘Stay close to my workers until they have finished harvesting my entire crop.’”
22 Na: ioumi ea Ludima sia: i, “Ma, nadiwi! Amo da defeawane, di da Boua: se ea ifabia uda eno gilisili hamoiba: le. Be dima ougila: loba di enoga ifabi hawa: hamoi ganiaba.”
“That's good, my daughter,” Naomi told Ruth. “Stay with his women workers. Don't go to other fields where you might be molested.”
23 Amanoba, Ludi e ili bisili hawa: hamoi amola gagoma failalu, amalalu bali amola widi huluane gamibi dagoi ba: i. Amola e da esoa: amo bisili fifi lai.
So Ruth stayed with Boaz' women workers picking up grain until the end of the barley harvest, and then on to the end of the wheat harvest. She lived with her mother-in-law the whole time.
