Ruth 2
1 Te vaengah Naomi aka ming la a va kah pacaboeina, a ming ah Boaz tah Elimelekh cako khuiah tatthai, hlangrhalh hlang la om.
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
2 Moab nu Ruth loh Naomi taengah, “Lohma la ka cet mai vetih a mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang atah a hnukah cangmo ka yoep van eh,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Ka canu, cet saw ne,” a ti nah.
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
3 Te dongah cet tih lohma la a pawk vaengah cang at rhoek hnukah a yoep van. Te vaengah Elimelekh kah a hui a ko Boaz lo kah khamyai te Ruth kah a hma la ana pawk.
And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on the portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 Te vaengah Boaz te Bethlehem lamloh pakcak ha pawk tih cang aka at rhoek te, “Nangmih taengah BOEIPA om saeh,” a ti nah hatah anih te, “Nang khaw BOEIPA loh yoethen m'pae saeh,” a ti na uh.
And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers, Jehovah be with you. And they answered him, Jehovah bless thee.
5 Te phoeiah cang aka at rhoek khuikah amah lopai cadong te Boaz loh, “Hekah hula he unim ca?” a ti nah.
Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
6 Te dongah cang at rhoek aka pai thil cadong loh a doo tih, “Anih tah Moab kho lamkah Naomi neh aka bal Moab nu hula,” a ti nah.
And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
7 Te dongah, “Ka yoep van saeh lamtah cang at rhoek hnukkah canghmoek ke ka coi mai eh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah cet tih pohlip ah rhaih a duem nen te mincang lamloh tahae duela a pai thil.
and she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, save that she tarried a little in the house.
8 Te dongah Ruth te Boaz loh, “Ka canu na yaak moenih a? Cangmo yoep ham te lo lang ah cet boeh, he lamkah khaw nong boeh, kai kah hula rhoek taengah pahoi balak van.
Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.
9 Lohma li kah cang at rhoek te na mik neh so lamtah amih hnuk ah cet van. Nang te ben pawt ham cadong rhoek te ka uen moenih a? Tui na hal vaengah khaw am ke paan lamtah cadong rhoek kah a than tangtae te o,” a ti nah.
Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
10 Te vaengah Ruth te a hmai la buluk tih diklai la bakop. Te phoeiah Boaz te, “Kai he kholong hlang dae kai nan hmat ham khaw balae tih na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang,” a ti nah.
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found favor in thy sight, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreigner?
11 Tedae Boaz loh a doo tih, “Na va a dueknah hnukah na mani hamla na saii khaw, na nu na pa, na pacaboeina kah a khohmuen na hnoo tih hlaem hlavai kah na ming pawh pilnam taengla na pawk te a pum la kai taengah a thui rhoela a thui coeng.
And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people that thou knewest not heretofore.
12 Na bisai te BOEIPA loh han thuung saeh lamtah a phae hlip ah ying hamla na paan Israel Pathen BOEIPA taeng lamkah na thapang te rhuemtuet la ha om saeh,” a ti nah.
Jehovah recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.
13 Ruth loh, “Kai nan hloep dongah ka boeipa nang kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang, na sal kah a lungbuei te cawt na doo coeng tih kai tah na sal bangla ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord, for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly unto thy handmaid, though I be not as one of thy handmaidens.
14 Buh caak tue vaengah tah Boaz loh, “Hela ha thoeih lamtah buh te ca dae, na buhkam te a thuui dongah khaw nuem dae,” a ti nah. Te daengah cang at rhoek taengah ngol thuk. Te vaengah anih ham vairhum a phom pah tih a hah la a caak phoeiah a caknoi pueng.
And at meal-time Boaz said unto her, Come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left thereof.
15 Cangmo yoep la koep a thoh hang vaengah, Boaz loh a cadong rhoek te a uen tih, “Canghmoek laklo ah yoep mai cakhaw a hmaithae sak uh boeh.
And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not.
16 Cangphung dongkah te buem, buem uh lamtah anih ham hnoo pa uh. A yoep vaengah khaw anih te tluung uh boeh,” a ti nah.
And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and rebuke her not.
17 Te dongah lohma li ah cangmo te kholaeh due a yoep tih a yoep te a boh vaengah cangtun cangnoek pakhat tluk a om pah.
So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 Te te a khuen tih khopuei a paan. A mani a hmuh vaengah a yoep te a khuen tih, a hah phoeikah a caknoi pah te a mani a paek.
And she took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.
19 Te vaengah anih te a mani loh, “Tihnin ah melam na yoep tih me rhoek ah lae na saii? Nang aka hmat tah a yoethen pai saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah a taengah bi a saii pah hlang te a mani taengah a thui tih, “Tihnin ah a taengah bi ka saii pah hlang kah a ming tah Boaz ni,” a ti nah.
And her mother-in-law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz.
20 Naomi loh a langa te, “BOEIPA loh anih yoe a then sak. Amah long tah aka hing rhoek taeng neh aka duek rhoek taengah khaw a sitlohnah pat sak pawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Ruth taengah Naomi loh, “Anih te mamih aka tlan, mah neh aka yoei uh hlang ni,” a ti nah.
And Naomi said unto her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is nigh of kin unto us, one of our near kinsmen.
21 Moab nu Ruth loh, “Kai taengah khaw, ‘Kamah taengkah cangah boeih a bawt duela kamah kah cadong rhoek taengah balak mai,’ a ti pataeng,” a ti nah.
And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yea, he said unto me, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
22 Te dongah a langa Ruth taengah Naomi loh, “Nang te lo lang ah n'cuuk sak uh voel pawt vetih anih lopai rhoek taengla na pawk te ka canu aw then mai coeng,” a ti nah.
And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they meet thee not in any other field.
23 Te dongah cangtun cangah neh cangtang cangah a boeih duela cangmo yoep ham Boaz kah lopai rhoek taengah balak tih a mani taengah kho a sak.
So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz, to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
