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 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 said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after [him] in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said 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 went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her lot was to light on a part of the field [belonging] to Boaz, who [was] of the kindred 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 behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the reapers, The LORD [be] with you. And they answered him, The LORD 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 to 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 from 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, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, 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 to Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go 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] thy eyes [be] on the field that they are reaping, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art thirsty go to 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 to him, Why have I found grace in thy eyes, that thou shouldst take knowledge of me, seeing I [am] 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 answered and said to her, It hath fully been shown to me, all that thou hast done to 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 hast come to a people which 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.
The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to trust.
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.
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 to thy handmaid, though I am not like to 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 taeng ah ngol thuk. Te vaengah anih ham vairhum a phom pah tih a hah la a caak phoeiah a caknoi pueng.
And Boaz said to her, At meal-time come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched [corn], and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.
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 had risen 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 pauh. A yoep vaengah khaw anih te tluung uh boeh,” a ti nah.
And let fall also [some] of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave [them], that she may glean [them], 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 evening, and 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 cangmo a yoep a khuen tih a hah phoeikah a caknoi pah te a mani a paek.
And she took [it], and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her what she had reserved after she was satisfied.
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 to her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou labored? blessed be he that took 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 to her daughter-in-law, Blessed [be] he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said to her, The man [is] near of kin to us, one of our next 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, He said to me also, 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 to Ruth her daughter-in-law, [It is] good, my daughter, that thou shouldst go out with his maidens, 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 to the end of barley-harvest and of wheat-harvest; and dwelt with her mother-in-law.
