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.
Then Naomi her mother in law said unto 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.
And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he winnows barley to night in 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.
Wash yourself therefore, and anoint you, and put your raiment upon you, and get you down to the floor: but make not yourself known unto the man, until he shall have done 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.
And it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lay you down; and he will tell you what you shall do.
5 Te dongah amani te, “Kai taengah na thui boeih te saii bitni,” a ti nah.
And she said unto her, All that you say unto me I will do.
6 Te dongah cangtilhmuen la suntla tih a mani loh anih a uen bangla boeih a saii.
And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade 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.
And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
8 Khoyin boengli ah tah tongpa te lakueng tih a hoi uh hatah a kho taengah huta tarha ana yalh pah.
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, 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 aka ng'khuk thil laeh,” a ti nah.
And he said, Who are you? And she answered, I am Ruth your handmaid: spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid; for you are a near 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.
And he said, Blessed be you of the LORD, my daughter: for you have showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you followed not 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 m'ming coeng dongah nang ham kan saii bitni.
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to you all that you require: for all the city of my people does know that you are a virtuous woman.
12 Kai loh kan tlan ham khaw tueng ngawn coeng dae aka tlan ham te kai lakah aka yoei rhep om pueng.
And now it is true that I am your near kinsman: nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.
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.
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto you the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to you, then will I do the part of a kinsman to 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 kah hlang a hmat hlan ah vawl thoo coeng. Te vaengah Boaz longtah, “Cangtilhmuen huta ha pawk he a ming uh moenih,” a ti.
And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
15 Te vaengah, “Na pum dongkah te himbai 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.
Also he said, Bring the vail that you have upon you, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she 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.
And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who are you, my daughter? And 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.
And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto 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 said she, Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
