< Ruth 3 >

1 Ug si Noemi nga iyang ugangan nga babaye miingon kaniya: Anak ko, dili ba ako mangita ug pahulayan alang kanimo, aron kini maayo kanimo?
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 Ug karon dili ba si Booz atong kaubanan man, nga sa iyang mga kadalagahan ikaw kauban? Ania karon, siya nagaalig-ig ug cebada niining gabhiona didto sa giukan.
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 Busa maligo ka sa imong kaugalingon, ug pamubho ka, ug isul-ob mo ang imong saput, ug lumakaw ka ngadto sa giukan; apan sa imong kaugalingon ayaw pagpaila sa tawo, hangtud nga siya makakaon ug makainum.
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 Ug mahitabo, nga kong siya mohigda na, timan-an mo ang dapit nga iyang pagahig-daan, ug sumulod ka, ug buksan mo ang iyang tiilan ug humigda ka; ug siya magasugilon kanimo sa imong pagabuhaton.
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 Ug siya miingon kaniya: Ang tanan mong gipamulong akong pagabuhaton.
And she said, I will do all you say.
6 Ug siya miadto sa giukan, ug gihimo ang tanan nga gisugo kaniya sa iyang ugangan nga babaye.
So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.
7 Ug sa nakakaon ug nakainum na si Booz, ug ang iyang kasingkasing nagmalipayon, mihigda siya sa kinatumyan sa ginalab: ug siya mihinay pagduol, ug gibuksan ang iyang tiilan ug mihigda siya.
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 Ug nahitabo nga sa pagkatungang gabii, ang tawo nahikurat ug miliso sa iyang kaugalingon; ug, ania karon, usa ka babaye naghigda sa iyang tiilan.
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 Ug siya miingon: Kinsa ba ikaw? ug siya mitubag: Ako si Ruth ang sulogoon mong babaye: busa buklara ang imong kapa ibabaw sa imong ulipon nga babaye; kay ikaw ang usa ka haduol nga kaubanan.
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 Ug siya miingon: Binulahan ikaw ni Jehova, anak ko; ikaw nagpakita kanako ug kalolot sa kaulahian labi pa kay sa sinugdan, sanglit ikaw wala monunot sa mga batan-on nga lalake, bisan kabus kun adunahan.
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 Ug karon, anak ko, ayaw kahadlok; buhaton ko kanimo ang tanan nga imong gipamulong; kay ang tibook nga ciudad sa akong katawohan nanghibalo nga ikaw babaye nga may katakus.
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 Ug karon matuod nga ako haduol nga kaubanan mo; apan adunay usa ka kaubanan nga labing haduol pa kay kanako.
Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.
13 Dinhi maghulat ka lamang niining gabhiona, ug kini mahimo sa pagkabuntag, nga kong iyang himoon kanimo ang bahin sa usa ka kaubanan, maayo man; ipabuhat kaniya ang bahin sa usa ka kaubanan: apan kong siya dili magtuman sa katungdanan sa usa ka kaubanan kanimo, nan ako ang magahimo sa bahin sa usa ka kaubanan kanimo, ingon nga si Jehova buhi: humigda ka hangtud sa pagkabuntag.
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 Ug siya mihigda dapit sa iyang tiilan hangtud nga nabuntag: ug siya mibangon sa dili pa magkailhanay ang usa ug usa. Kay si Booz miingon: Ayaw pag-isangyaw nga ang babaye nahianhi sa giukan.
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 Ug siya miingon: Dad-a ang pandong nga anaa kanimo, ug bitbita, ug iyang gikuptan kini; ug siya mitakus ug unom ka takus nga cebada ug gipalukdo kaniya: ug miadto siya ngadto sa ciudad.
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 Ug sa pag-abut niya sa iyang ugangan nga babaye, siya miingon: Kinsa ba ikaw, anak ko? Ug iyang gisugilon kaniya ang tanan nga gibuhat sa tawo kaniya.
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 Ug siya miingon: Kining unom ka takus nga cebada iyang gihatag kanako; kay siya miingon: Ayaw pag-adto sa imong ugangang babaye nga walay dala.
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 Unya miingon siya: Lumingkod ka sa hilum, anak ko, hangtud nga ikaw mahibalo sa kahulogan niining butanga; kay ang tawo dili mopahulay, hangtud nga matapus niya ang maong butang niining adlawa.
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.
