< Ludi 3 >

1 Fifilai helele amola Na: ioumi ea Ludima amane sia: i, “Na da di gawa fima: ne hogomu galebe, be amo da di diasu ganoma: ne.
Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
2 Dawa: ma goe dunu Boua: se, amo ea fi uda di bisili hawa: hamonanu amo da ania sosogo fi. Waha di nabima! Wali daeya ea amola bali gadofo fane sosogamu.
Now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on the threshing floor.
3 Amaiba: le, di da hano ulima. Amola dia abula noga: idafa salima. Amalu bali amola sosoga: ba amoga masa, be ahoasea dia da: i wamolegema. E da ha: i mai dagosea fawane, di ba: mu da defea.
Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
4 Be e dia ahoasea, defea di dawa: ma, e habi golabeyale, amola e sima midi galea, asili amola e dedeboi amo houga: le, ea emo gadenene diasa: ima. Ea da dima adole imunu, adi hamoma: ne.”
It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall note the place where he is lying. Then you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”
5 Ludi da bu adole i, “Dia adi sia: sea, na da huluane hamomu.”
She said to her, “All that you say, I will do.”
6 Amanoba, Ludi e bali gadofo sosoga: ba asili, esoa: ame ea ema sia: i amo defele hamoi.
She went down to the threshing floor, and did everything that her mother-in-law told her.
7 Be Boua: se e ha: i amola hano nanu ba: loba, e hahawane ba: i. E da bali dabole ligisila asili gola midi. Ludi e da gebewane misini abula ea emoga sosoi amo houga: le, ea emo osa: suha golai.
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 lay down.
8 Be gasia Boua: se da fofogadigili wa: legadole amola delegili ba: loba, uda a: fini ea emo gadenene. dia misi dialebe ba: i.
At midnight, the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 “Di nowala: ?” e amane adole ba: i. Ludi da bu adole i, “Amo da na, Ludi, dia hawa: hamosu a: fini. Dia abula fe bidiga amo na da: i dedeboma. Bai di da dia fi gaga: su dunu galebe. Amola dafawane dia na lama.”
He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth your servant. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your servant; for you are a near kinsman.”
10 Boua: se da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da di hahawane dogolegele fidimu da defea. Hou waha dia hamoi amo da dia musa: disoa: ema hamoi baligi dagoi. Di da goi ayeligi gasa bagade gagui o hame gagui esala, amo hogomu logo gala, be di da hame hogoi.
He said, “You are blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you did not follow young men, whether poor or rich.
11 Dunu fi huluane di dawa: , di da uda defeadafa. Amaiba: le mae beda: ma! Amo na dia adi liligi nama adi adole ba: sea na digili imunu.
Now, my daughter, do not be afraid. I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
12 Dia dafawane sia: sa, na da dia sosogo fi afadafa amola na di ouligimu. Be dunu afadafa amo da Ilimelege ea liligi lamusa: sosogo fi amoga gala.
Now it is true that I am a near kinsman. However, there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Waha di gui esaloma, amola aya hahabe na asili amo dunu ea hanai hou amo ba: la masunu. Be e di ouligimu sia: sea, defea! Be ea di higasea, na di ba: la misunu. Na sia: goe da dafawane. Hina Gode Bagade E da dawa: Amola waha da di golale, hadigimu.”
Stay this night, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good. Let him do the kinsman’s duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do the duty of a kinsman for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the morning.”
14 Amanoba, Ludi e Boua: se ea emo gadenene golai. Hame hadigia, Ludi wa: legadole asi amo dunu ilia hame ba: i. Bai Boua: se da Ludi da gasia ea emo gadenene golai dialu, dunu eno dawa: mu e higa: i galu.
She lay at his feet until the morning, then she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
15 Amanoba, Boua: se e Ludi ema amane adoi, “Dia abula lale fa: si, fadegale gama.” Amabeba: le, ea abula amo fa: si, amola Boua: se ea bali amo abula da: iya gugudili ligisi. Amola ea dioi defei amo 20 gilogala: me agoane galu. Amanoba, Boua: se ea Ludi e fidili ea gida da: iya gisasi. Amalu Ludi da ea moilaiga buhagi.
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; then he went into the city.
16 E diasuga doaga: loba, esoa: eme da ema naba ba: i, “Nadiwi! Dia da habodane hamobela: ?” Ludi e da Boua: se ea ema fidi hou amo olelei.
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 for her.
17 E bu sia: i, “Ea amola nama amane sia: i, na da udigili dima bu masunu da hame galebe. Amanoba, e da amo bali ha: i manu nama i.”
She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Do not go empty to your mother-in-law.’”
18 Na: ioumi da ema amane sia: i, “Di waha ouligima, Ludi! Goe hahamobe ba: ma. Boua: se e da hamedafa yolemu sia: i. E da amo hou huluane hahamone dagomu.”
Then she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know what will happen; for the man will not rest until he has settled this today.”
