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?
One day, Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, I think that I should [RHQ] try to arrange for you to have a husband [MTY] who will (take care of/provide for) you.
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.
Boaz, the man with whose [servant] girls you have been [gathering grain], is a close relative [of our dead husbands]. Listen [carefully]. Tonight he will be at the ground where [the barley has] been threshed. He will be separating the barley grain from the chaff.
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.
Bathe yourself and put on some perfume. Put on your [best] clothes. Then go down to the ground where they have threshed [the grain]. But do not let Boaz know that you are there while he is eating [supper] and drinking.
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.
[When he has finished eating], notice where he lies down to sleep. Then [when he is asleep], take the blanket off his feet and lie [close to his feet]. [When he wakes up], he will tell you what to do.”
5 Ug siya miingon kaniya: Ang tanan mong gipamulong akong pagabuhaton.
Ruth replied, “I will do everything that you have told me [to do].”
6 Ug siya miadto sa giukan, ug gihimo ang tanan nga gisugo kaniya sa iyang ugangan nga babaye.
So she went down to the ground where they had threshed [the barley grain]. There she did everything that her mother-in-law had told her [to do].
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.
When Boaz finished eating [supper] and drinking [wine], he felt happy. Then he went over to the far end of the pile of grain. He lay down [and went to sleep]. Then Ruth approached him quietly. She took the blanket off his feet and lay down [there].
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.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly awoke. He sat up and saw that a woman was lying 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.
He asked her, “Who are you?” She replied, “I am your servant, Ruth. Since you are the one who has a responsibility to take care of [someone like me whose dead husband was] your close relative, spread the corner of your cloak over my [feet to show that you will marry me].”
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.
Boaz replied, “Young lady, I hope that Yahweh will (bless/be kind to) you! You have acted kindly [toward your mother-in-law], and now you are acting even more kindly [toward me by wanting to marry me, instead of wanting to marry a young man]. You have not looked for either a rich young man or a poor young man, [to marry him].
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.
Now, young lady, I will do everything you ask. Don’t worry [that people in this town might think I am doing wrong by marrying you because you are a woman from Moab]. All the people in this town know that you are an honorable woman.
12 Ug karon matuod nga ako haduol nga kaubanan mo; apan adunay usa ka kaubanan nga labing haduol pa kay kanako.
But [there is one problem]. Although it is true that I am a close relative [of your mother-in-law’s dead husband], there is another man who is a closer relative [than I am], and therefore he should be the one to [marry you and] take care of you.
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.
You stay here for the rest of this night. Tomorrow morning [I will tell this man about you]. If he says that he will [marry you and] take care of you, fine, [we will] let him do that. But if he is not willing [to do that], I solemnly promise that as surely as Yahweh lives, I will [marry you and] take care of you. So lie/sleep here until it is morning.”
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.
So she lay at his feet until morning. But she got up and left before it was light enough that people would be able to recognize her, because Boaz said, “I do not want anyone to know that a woman was here.”
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.
He also said to her, “Bring to me your cloak and spread it out.” When she did that, he poured into it six measures/24 liters/50 pounds of barley, and put in on her back. Then he (OR, 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.
When Ruth arrived home, her mother-in-law asked her, “My daughter, how did (things go/Boaz act toward you)?” Then Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her [and said 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.
She also said [to Naomi], “He gave me all this barley, saying ‘I do not want you to return to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
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 Naomi said, “My daughter, just wait until we see what happens. [I am sure that] Boaz will take care of [LIT] the matter [of your marriage]. [LIT]”
