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.
And Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, My daughter, am I not to get you a resting-place where you may be in comfort?
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.
And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-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.
So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.
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.”
But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do.
5 Ludi da bu adole i, “Dia adi sia: sea, na da huluane hamomu.”
And she said, I will do all you say.
6 Amanoba, Ludi e bali gadofo sosoga: ba asili, esoa: ame ea ema sia: i amo defele hamoi.
So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to 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.
Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest.
8 Be gasia Boua: se da fofogadigili wa: legadole amola delegili ba: loba, uda a: fini ea emo gadenene. dia misi dialebe ba: i.
Now in the middle of the night, the man awaking from his sleep in fear, and lifting himself up, saw a woman stretched 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.”
And he said, Who are you? And she answering said, I am your servant Ruth: take your servant as wife, for you are a near relation.
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.
And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth.
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.
And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.
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 relation: but there is a relation 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.”
Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so.
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.
And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-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.
And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.
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.
And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to 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.”
And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.
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, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through.
