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 hath an acquaintance of her husband's, a man mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name [is] Boaz.
2 Moab nu Ruth loh Noami 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 saith unto Naomi, 'Let me go, I pray thee, into the field, and I gather among the ears of corn after him in whose eyes I find grace;' and she saith to 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 goeth and cometh and gathereth in a field after the reapers, and her chance happeneth — the portion of the field is Boaz's who [is] 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 nauh.
And lo, Boaz hath come from Beth-Lehem, and saith to the reapers, 'Jehovah [is] with you;' and they say to him, 'Jehovah doth bless thee.'
5 Te phoeiah cang aka at rhoek khuikah amah lopai cadong te Boaz loh, “Hekah hula he unim ca?,” a ti nah.
And Boaz saith to his young man who is set over the reapers, 'Whose [is] this young person?'
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 young man who is set over the reapers answereth and saith, 'A young woman — Moabitess — she [is], who came back with Naomi from the fields 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 saith, Let me glean, I pray thee — and I have gathered among the sheaves after the reapers; and she cometh and remaineth since the morning and till now; she sat in the house a little.
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.
And Boaz saith unto Ruth, 'Hast thou not heard, my daughter? go not to glean in another field, and also, pass not over from this, and thus thou dost cleave to my young women:
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.
thine eyes [are] on the field which they reap, and thou hast gone after them; have not I charged the young men not to touch thee? when thou art athirst then thou hast gone unto the vessels, and hast drunk from that which the young men draw.'
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.
And she falleth on her face, and boweth herself to the earth, and saith unto him, 'Wherefore have I found grace in thine eyes, to discern me, and I a stranger?'
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 answereth and saith to her, 'It hath thoroughly been declared to me all that thou hast done with thy mother-in-law, after the death of thy husband, and thou dost leave thy father, and thy mother, and the land of thy birth, and dost come in unto a people which thou hast not known 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 doth recompense thy work, and thy reward is complete from Jehovah, God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to take refuge.'
13 Ruth loh, “Kai nan hloep dongah ka boeipa nang kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang, na sal a lungbuei te cawt na doo coeng tih kai tah na sal bangla ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
And she saith, 'Let me find grace in thine eyes, my lord, because thou hast comforted me, and because thou hast spoken unto the heart of thy maid-servant, and I — I am not as one of thy maid-servants.'
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 taeng ah ngol thuk. Te vaengah anih ham vairhum a phom pah tih a hah la a caak phoeiah a caknoi pueng.
And Boaz saith to her, 'At meal-time come nigh hither, and thou hast eaten of the bread, and dipped thy morsel in the vinegar.' And she sitteth at the side of the reapers, and he reacheth to her roasted corn, and she eateth, and is satisfied, and leaveth.
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 she riseth to glean, and Boaz chargeth his young men, saying, 'Even between the sheaves she doth glean, and ye do not cause her to blush;
16 Cangphung dongkah te buem buem uh lamtah anih ham hnoo pauh. A yoep vaengah khaw anih te tluung uh boeh,” a ti nah.
and also ye do surely cast to her of the handfuls — and have left, and she hath gleaned, and ye do not push against her.'
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.
And she gleaneth in the field till the evening, and beateth out that which she hath gleaned, and it is about an ephah of barley;
18 Te te a khuen tih khopuei a paan. A mani a hmuh vaengah cangmo a yoep a khuen tih a hah phoeikah a caknoi pah te a mani a paek.
and she taketh [it] up, and goeth into the city, and her mother-in-law seeth that which she hath gleaned, and she bringeth out and giveth to her that which she left from her satiety.
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 saith to her, 'Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? may he who is discerning thee be blessed.' And she declareth to her mother-in-law with whom she hath wrought, and saith, 'The name of the man with whom I have 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 saith to her daughter-in-law, 'Blessed [is] he of Jehovah who hath not forsaken His kindness with the living and with the dead;' and Naomi saith to her, 'The man is a relation of ours; he [is] of our redeemers.'
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 saith, 'Also he surely said unto me, Near the young people whom I have thou dost cleave till they have completed the whole of the harvest which I have.'
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 saith unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, 'Good, my daughter, that thou goest out with his young women, and they come not against thee in another 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.
And she cleaveth to the young women of Boaz to glean, till the completion of the barley-harvest, and of the wheat-harvest, and she dwelleth with her mother-in-law.
