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 an acquaintance of her husband’s, a man of great integrity, of the family 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 unto Naomi—Let me go, I pray thee, to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose eyes I may find favour. And she said to her—Go, my daughter.
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 she went her way, and came, and gleaned in the field, after the reapers, —and it happened to her, to light upon the portion of field-land belonging to Boaz, who was of the family 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.
And lo! Boaz coming from Bethlehem, and he said to the reapers, Yahweh, be with you! and they said to him, Yahweh bless thee!
5 Boaz ni hai hote napuica teh api hoi maw a kâkuet telah laikawk dawk kâ katawnkung koe a pacei navah,
Then said Boaz to his young man, that was set over the reapers, —Whose is this maiden?
6 Laikawk dawk kâ katawnkung ni Moab kho lahoi Naomi hoi rei ka tho e Moab ton doeh atipouh awh.
And the young man that was set over the reapers answered and said, —The Moabitish maiden, is she who came back with Naomi, out of the country 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,
and she said—Let me glean, I pray thee, and gather among the sheaves, after the reapers; so she came in, and hath continued from that time, all the morning until just now, and hath not rested in the house, for a little.
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.
And Boaz said unto Ruth—Hearest thou not, my daughter? Do not go to glean in any other field, neither indeed shalt thou pass on, from hence, —but, here, shalt thou keep fast by my maidens:
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,
thine eyes, be on the field which they shall reap, and go thou after them, Have I not commanded the young men, that they touch thee not? And, when thou art athirst, then go unto the vessels, and drink of what the young men shall draw.
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.
Then she fell upon her face, and bowed herself to the ground, —and said unto him—Wherefore have I found favour in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take notice of me, seeing that, I, am, a stranger?
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.
And Boaz answered, and said to her, It hath been, told, me—all that thou hast done unto 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 come unto a people whom thou knewest not, aforetime.
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
Yahweh recompense thy deed, —and let thy reward be full from Yahweh, the God of Israel, unto whom thou hast come to take refuge under his wings.
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.
And she said—Let me find favour in thine eyes, my lord, for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken unto the heart of thy handmaid, —though, I, be not as, one of thine own handmaidens.
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.
And Boaz said to her at mealtime—Draw nigh hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat beside the reapers, and there was reached to her parched corn, and she did eat and was satisfied, and left thereof remaining.
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.
And, when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying—Even between the sheaves, let her glean, and reproach her not;
16 A tangcoung e cabong hai lem pek pouh awh, hrawm van naseh. Toun awh hanh, telah lawk a thui.
yea moreover, draw out, for her, from the bundles, —and leave behind that she may glean it, and rebuke her not.
17 Ruth ni hote laikawk dawk tangmin totouh cavui pâhma e a racawng teh a katin hnukkhu catun ephah, buet tabang a pha.
So she gleaned in the field, until the evening, —and beat out that which she had gleaned, and there 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.
And she took it up, and came into the city, and, when her mother-in-law had seen what she had gleaned, she brought forth and gave her what had been left remaining, after that she was satisfied.
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.
And her mother-in-law said to her—In what place hast thou gleaned, today? and where hast thou wrought? May he that took notice of thee, be blessed! So she told her mother-in-law, with whom she had wrought, and said—The name of the man with whom I wrought today, is Boaz.
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 said Naomi, to her daughter-in-law—Blessed, be he of Yahweh, who hath not left off his lovingkindness to the living, and to the dead. And Naomi said to her—Near to us, is the man, of our own kinsmen, is he!
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,
And Ruth the Moabitess said, —Yea for he said unto me—By my young men, shalt thou keep fast, until they have ended 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 unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, —Good, is it, my daughter, that thou go forth with his maidens, and that they meet thee not, in any other 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 she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz, to glean, until the end of the barley harvest, and the wheat harvest, —and dwelt with her mother-in-law.
