Ruth 3
1 Ruth te a mani Naomi loh, “Ka canu aw, nang ham ngolbuel khaw ka tlap mapawt a? Te ni nang ham a voelphoeng eh.
Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
2 A lopai na balak puei Boaz te mah kah huiko moenih a? Anih te khoyin ah cangtilhmuen kah cangtun a cop lah ko te.
Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Look, he winnows barley tonight at the threshing floor.
3 Te dongah sil uh lamtah situi hluk. Te phoeiah na himbai te na pum dongah bai lamtah cangtilhmuen la suntla thuk. A caak a ok a coeng duela hlang taengah moe boeh.
Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, and put on your clothes, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
4 Tedae a yalh tue om bitni. Te vaengah a yalh nah hmuen te phatuem lamtah pahoi paan. Te phoeiah a kho te khawn pah lamtah yalh pah. Te vaengah na saii ham te amah loh nang taengah a thui bitni,” a ti nah.
It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall do."
5 Te dongah a mani te, “Kai taengah na thui boeih te ka saii bitni,” a ti nah.
She said to her, "All that you say I will do."
6 Te dongah cangtilhmuen la suntla tih a mani loh anih a uen bangla boeih a saii.
She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her.
7 Boaz khaw a caak a ok tih a lungbuei a voelphoeng nen tah yalh hamla canghlom hmatoeng te a paan. Te vaengah a muel la a paan tih a kho a khawn pah phoeiah a yalh pah.
When Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came quietly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 Khoyin boengli ah tah tongpa te lakueng tih a hoi uh hatah a kho taengah huta tarha ana yalh pah.
It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned over; and look, a woman lay at his feet.
9 Te dongah, “Nang ulae?” a ti nah hatah, “Na salnu kai, Ruth ni, nan tlan coeng dongah na salnu he na himbai hmoi neh ng'khuk thil laeh,” a ti nah.
He said, "Who are you?" She answered, "I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your handmaid; for you are a redeeming kinsman."
10 Te dongah, “Ka canu, BOEIPA dongah na yoethen coeng. Hlanglen mai khaw, tattloel mai cakhaw tongpang hnukah na caeh pawt dongah lamhma kah lakah a hnuk lam ni na sitlohnah neh na voelphoeng pueng.
He said, "Blessed are you by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, whether poor or rich.
11 Te dongah ka canu na hoe boeih te rhih boeh, nang tah tatthai nu tila ka pilnam kah vongka tom ah m'ming coeng dongah nang ham kan saii bitni.
Now, my daughter, do not be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.
12 Kai loh kan tlan ham khaw tueng ngawn coeng dae aka tlan ham te kai lakah aka yoei rhep om pueng.
Now it is true that I am a redeeming kinsman; however there is a redeemer closer than I am.
13 Khoyin ah rhaeh lamtah mincang ah ni nang aka tlan te a om atah a then la n'tlan saeh. Tedae nang te tlan ham a ngaih pawt atah BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah nang te kamah loh kan tlan bitni, mincang duela yalh mai dae,” a ti nah.
Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a redeemer, well; let him do the redeemer's part. But if he will not do the part of a redeemer for you, then I will do the part of a redeemer for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the morning."
14 Te dongah mincang duela a kho tang, a kho tang ah a yalh pah. Tedae a hui te hlang loh a hmat hlan ah vawl thoo coeng. Te vaengah Boaz longtah, “Cangtilhmuen la huta ha pawk he a ming uh moenih,” a ti.
She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."
15 Te vaengah, “Na pum dongkah himbai te hang khuen lamtah duen lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah himbai te a tuuk doela cangtun khoi rhuk a loeng pah phoeiah Ruth a phueih sak tih kho khuila cet.
He said, "Bring the cloak that is on you, and hold it." She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he went into the city.
16 A mani taengla a pawk vaengah, “Ka canu nang u taengah lae na caeh,” a ti nah hatah, hlang loh anih ham a saii pah te boeih a thui.
When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did it go, my daughter?" She told her all that the man had done to her.
17 Te dongah, “Cangtun khoi rhuk he kai ham ham poep tih, ‘Na mani te kuttling la paan boeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
She said, "He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said to me, 'Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"
18 Te vaengah, “Ka canu tihnin kah olka he a khah uh hlan atah hlang te mong mahpawh, metlamlae olka a dip eh tite na ming duela ngol,” a ti nah.
Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day."
