Ruth 2
1 Naomi e a vâ Elimelek e a miphun dawkvah a tha kaawm ni teh ka tawnta poung e a pawiya buet touh ao. Ahnie min teh Boaz doeh.
Now Naomi had a relative on her husband’s side, a prominent man of noble character from the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
2 Moab ton, Ruth niyah kai teh laikawk koe ka cei vaiteh ka lung ni a youk e hnukkâbang vaiteh cavui a pâhma awh e ka rakhun han telah Naomi koe a kâhei. Naomi ni ka canu cet khe atipouh.
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go into the fields and glean heads of grain after someone in whose sight I may find favor.” “Go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied.
3 Ruth ni cang ka a naw e a hnukkhu a cei teh cavui a pâhma awh e a rakhun navah, Elimelek e a miphun Boaz e laikawk dawk pouk laipalah a pha.
So Ruth departed and went out into the field and gleaned after the harvesters. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
4 Hatnavah, Boaz ni Bethlehem kho lahoi ka tho e nangmouh koe Cathut teh cungtalah awm naseh telah cang ka a naw hanelah atipouh navah, ahnimouh ni nama haiyah Yungyoe Cathut ni yawhawinae na poe naseh ati a pouh awh.
Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and said to the harvesters, “The LORD be with you.” “The LORD bless you,” they replied.
5 Boaz ni hai hote napuica teh api hoi maw a kâkuet telah laikawk dawk kâ katawnkung koe a pacei navah,
And Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, “Whose young woman is this?”
6 Laikawk dawk kâ katawnkung ni Moab kho lahoi Naomi hoi rei ka tho e Moab ton doeh atipouh awh.
The foreman answered, “She is the Moabitess who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.
7 Ahni ni hai kai teh cang ka a naw ni a pâhma e cavui, law um e ka rakhun han, telah a kâhei teh amom hoi atu hi lawbu a kâhat ditouh a tawk toe atipouh navah,
She has said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the harvesters.’ So she came out and has continued from morning until now, except that she rested a short time in the shelter.”
8 Boaz ni Ruth hah a kaw teh thai haw ka canu alouke laikawk dawk cet hanh, a pâhma e cavui rakhun hanh, lat hanh. Hi hoi cet laipalah ka sannunaw koe mah awm lawih.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Do not go and glean in another field, and do not go away from this place, but stay here close to my servant girls.
9 Law hma vah cang ka a naw hah khen nateh ahnimae hnukkâbang lawih. Thoundounnaw ni tarawk hoeh na hanlah ka dei pouh toe. Tui na kahran navah hlaam hrueknae koe cet nateh thoundoun ni a do e tui net leih atipouh navah,
Let your eyes be on the field they are harvesting, and follow along after these girls. Indeed, I have ordered the young men not to touch you. And when you are thirsty, go and drink from the jars the young men have filled.”
10 Ruth ni talai dawk a tabo teh kai teh Jentel tami ka tho dawkvah ka bawipa nange na lung a kuep nahane bangtelamaw ka ti han ti teh a pacei.
At this, she fell on her face, bowing low to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you should take notice of me, even though I am a foreigner?”
11 Boaz ni hai na vâ a due hnukkhu, na mani na khetyawt e thoseh, na khoram hoi na manu na pa na ceitakhai teh na panue hoeh e khoram dawk na pha tie thoseh, kai koe kamcengcalah a dei awh toe.
Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before.
12 Na tawksak pueng dawk Cathut ni na patho lawiseh. Nang ni a rathei rahim o hanlah na hnaisin e Isarel Cathut ni tawkphu na poe lawiseh atipouh
May the LORD repay your work, and may you receive a rich reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have taken refuge.”
13 Ruth nihaiyah, bawipa kai haiyah na hmalah minhmai kahawi kahmawt naseh. Kai teh nange na sannunaw hoi ka kâvan hoeh eiteh, nama ni lawkkamuem lahoi na dei pouh teh lung yo na pahawi toe telah atipouh.
“My lord,” she said, “may I continue to find favor in your eyes, for you have comforted and spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your servant girls.”
14 Boaz nihai, canei nahane atueng kuep toe. Tho nateh, vaiyei cat haw. Misurtui dawk ranup hottelah atipouh e patetlah, Ruth teh cang ka a naw hoi cungtalah a tahung navah, Boaz ni vaiyei a poe teh, kaboumcalah a ca hnukkhu, bout a pek.
At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come over here; have some bread and dip it into the vinegar sauce.” So she sat down beside the harvesters, and he offered her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left over.
15 Cavui pâhma e racawng hanlah a thaw teh a cei navah, Boaz ni avaicanaw koe, hote napui teh pâhma e cabong racawng naseh. Yeirai poe awh hanh.
When Ruth got up to glean, Boaz ordered his young men, “Even if she gathers among the sheaves, do not insult her.
16 A tangcoung e cabong hai lem pek pouh awh, hrawm van naseh. Toun awh hanh, telah lawk a thui.
Rather, pull out for her some stalks from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not rebuke her.”
17 Ruth ni hote laikawk dawk tangmin totouh cavui pâhma e a racawng teh a katin hnukkhu catun ephah, buet tabang a pha.
So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. And when she beat out what she had gleaned, it was about an ephah of barley.
18 Hote cakang aphu teh, khothung a kâenkhai. A hmu e cakang hai a mani a patue. Kaboumlah a ca hnukkhu a pek e vaiyei hai a rasa teh bout a poe.
She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought out what she had saved from her meal and gave it to Naomi.
19 A mani ni hai sahnin nâmaw cavui na racawng. Nâmaw thaw na tawk. Nang na ka panuek e tami teh a yawhawi seh telah atipouh hnukkhu, Ruth ni sahnin ka tawknae tami e min teh Boaz doeh telah atipouh.
Then her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today, and where did you work? Blessed be the man who noticed you.” So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.
20 A mani ni kahring e tami, kadout e taminaw koe lungmanae pout laipalah ka sak pouh rae Cathut ni yawhawinae na poe lawiseh. Hote tami teh maimouh hoi kambawng e tami, kâhnai e miphun lah ao toe telah a langa koe atipouh
Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not withdrawn His kindness from the living or the dead.” Naomi continued, “The man is a close relative. He is one of our kinsman-redeemers.”
21 Hote tami ni cang ka a e ka cum hoe roukrak ka taminaw koe awm ei telah Moab napui Ruth koe a dei pouh navah,
Then Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also told me, ‘Stay with my young men until they have finished gathering all my harvest.’”
22 Naomi ni, ka canu nang teh ahnie a sannunaw hoi cungtalah na awm pawiteh ahawi. Alouke laikawk dawk ahnimouh ni na hmawt payon vaih, telah Ruth koe a dei pouh.
And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “My daughter, it is good for you to work with his young women, so that nothing will happen to you in another field.”
23 Ahni teh barli, canga e abaw totouh Boaz e a sannunaw koe ao teh, cavui pâhma e rakhun hanelah a cei teh a mani koe ao.
So Ruth stayed close to the servant girls of Boaz to glean grain until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
