Ruth 3
1 Hitichun nikhat Naomi in Ruth kom’a chun, “Kachanu keiman na-inchen theina ding ngaito peh leng hichu nang dinga phalou ding ham?
Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek a place for you to rest, so that things may go well for you?
2 Boaz hi eini dinga i-kinai pi pen i-inko’u khat ahi, chule khotona neitah anungah goihotoh natoh khomsah jing ahi. Tujan’a hi aman achangphol’a sakol chang aden ahi.
Now Boaz, the man whose young female workers you have been with, is he not our kinsman? Look, he will be winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.
3 Hijeh chun kasei bang bang hin bollin, “Kisiltheng sel inlang thao kinunlang navon hoipen kivon inlang, achangvohna pholla chun gachesuh’in ahinla aneh’a adonchai tokah’in Boaz chu kimusah hih in.
Therefore, wash yourself, anoint yourself, put on your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor. But do not make yourself known to the man until he finishes eating and drinking.
4 Alup tengleh alupna mun chu melchih’in, chuteng chenlang akengphang chu hohdoh inlang hilai mun’ah chun lum in. Hiteng chuleh aman nabolding nahin seipih tante,” ati.
But when he lies down, take notice of the place where he lies down so that later you can go to him, uncover his feet, and lie down there. Then he will tell you what to do.”
5 Ruth nin adonbutin, “Bollin nati tichu kabol jeng ding ahi,” ati.
Ruth said to Naomi, “I will do everything you say.”
6 Hiche jan chun amanu jong achesuh in atehpi’n bol ding’a aseipeh jouse chu aboltan ahi.
So she went down to the threshing floor, and she followed the instructions her mother-in-law had given her.
7 Boaz chun aneh’a adonjouva chuleh lungkipah tah a aum jouvin Boaz chu achang kiset vum’na pang’a chun agalumtan ahi. Hichun Ruth jong kangchan hung vahlut’in, akengphang teni ahohdoh in alumtai.
When Boaz had eaten and drunk and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the pile of grain. Then she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 Jan khangkim donnin Boaz chu ahung kin khang in, agah kihei leh akengphang kom’a numei khat analup chu amudoh tan ahi.
It came about at midnight that the man was startled. He turned over, and right there a woman was lying at his feet!
9 Hichun aman jong “Koi nahim?” tia adohleh, numeinu chun ahin donbut’in “Keima nasohnu Ruth kahi, naponchu keijong neihin silpehin ajeh chu nangma hi insungmi kinaipi penchu nahi,” ati.
He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth, your female servant. Spread your cloak over your female servant, for you are a near kinsman.”
10 Hichun Boaz injong aseijin, “Kachanu Pakaiyin phatthei naboh hen, nangman natoh masat thilpha sanga jong tuahi aphacheh nabol kit ahitai, hao-hen vaijongleh gollhang hojoh hol louva umah nahi.
Boaz said, “My daughter, may you be blessed by Yahweh. You have showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you have not gone after any of the young men, whether poor or rich.
11 Chuti ahile, tun kachanu lungkham hih in keiman boldinga lom hochu hinbol nange, ajeh chu hiche khopi sunga mijouse hin nangma hi numei phachomtah nahi ahetsoh keiyu ahi.
Now, my daughter, do not be afraid! I will do for you all that you say, because all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
12 Keima hi nakinaipi insungmi chu kahinai ahinla keisanga nakinaipi khat aum nalai in ahi.
It is true that I am a kinsman, but there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Tujan gehkhovah den inlang, jingkah teng amachun phung kinaipi toh dingdol akin nabolpeh leh apha ahijinge, ahinlah aman hichu abol nomlouva ahileh hingjing Pakai minna kasei ahi, keiman nabolpeh nang nge, tun jingkah geijin umtan,” ati.
Stay here tonight, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the duty of a kinsman, good, let him do the kinsman's duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do it, by the life of Yahweh. Lie down until the morning.”
14 Hitichun Ruth jong Boaz kengphangbulla chun jingkah geijin alum’in, ahin jingkah lang kungbul le mi kimah donin athoudohin, Boaz in, “Hiche changvohna pholla hin numei aumme ti koimachan hetda hen,” ati
So she lay at his feet until the morning. But she rose up before anyone could recognize another person. For Boaz had said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
15 Hichejou chun Boaz in amanu koma chun, “Napon chu hin phan” atin sakol chang chu atena dim gup jen asempeh in akiputsah tai, hitichun khopi sunglang’a chun achetan ahi.
Then Boaz said, “Bring your shawl and hold it out.” When she did so, he measured six large measures of barley into it and put the load on her. Then he went into the city.
16 Ruth chu atehpi kom alhun phat’in Naomi’n, “Ipi toh nagabah hinam?” atileh, Ruth chun Boaz in abolpeh hojouse chu aseipeh tan ahi.
When Ruth came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did you do, my daughter?” Then Ruth told her all that the man had done for her.
17 Chuleh Ruth chun aseiyin, “Natehpi komma sagoh keuva nakinung le louding ahi tin sakol chang atenadim gup eihin pohsah e,” ati.
She said, “These six measures of barley are what he gave me, for he said, 'Do not go empty to your mother-in-law.'”
18 Hichun Naomi’n amanu kommah, “Kanao Itobang thil hung sohdoh mong mong am ti ijah kahsen ngah hat’in, amapa chun tunia hi thilkhat atohlhah tokah a umthimlou helding ahi,” ati.
Then Naomi said, “Stay here, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out, for the man will not rest until he has finished this thing today.”
