Ruth 3
1 Hahoi, a mani Naomi ni ka canu, nang na hlout thai nahanlah kai ni roumnae hmuen nang hanelah ka tawng mahoeh namaw.
And she lodged with her mother-in-law: and Noemin her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
2 Na huiko lah kaawm e maimae bawipa Boaz teh maimae huiko nahoehmaw. Sahnin, tangmin laikawk dawk barli cakang a karue.
And now [is] not Booz our kinsman, with whose damsels thou wast? behold, he winnows barley this night in the floor.
3 Nang teh tui kamhluknae, satui kâhluknae, kamthoupnae khohnat nateh laikawk koe cet leih, ahni ni rawca be a ca hoehnahlan teh kâpâtue hanh.
But do thou wash, and anoint thyself, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go up to the threshing-floor: do not discover thyself to the man until he has done eating and drinking.
4 Ahni a inae patoup nateh a i navah kâen, a khok a khu e hni hawng pouh nateh ip la a. Nang ni na sak hane kawi hah a dei han atipouh.
And it shall come to pass when he lies down, that thou shalt mark the place where he lies down, and shalt come and lift up the covering of his feet, and shalt lie down; and he shall tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 Ahni ni a mani koe, na dei e pueng ka sak han atipouh.
And Ruth said to her, All that thou shalt say, I will do.
6 Laikawk koe a cei teh a mani ni lawkthui e patetlah a sak.
And she went down to the threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law enjoined her.
7 Boaz teh canei teh lunghawi laihoi laikawk koe a cei teh a i navah, Ruth ni duem a hnai teh a khok dawk a khu e hni hah a hawng teh a i.
And Booz ate and drank, and his heart was glad, and he came to lie down by the side of the heap of corn; and she came secretly, and lifted up the covering of his feet.
8 Karumsaning vah tongpa teh loumkalue, a kamlang navah, napui a khok koe ao e hah a hmu.
And it came to pass at midnight that the man was amazed, and troubled, and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 Api nang maw telah a pacei navah, kai teh bawipa nange na san Ruth doeh, bawipa nang teh ratang thai e miphun lah na o dawk, bawipa na sannu hnipoi hoi na khu leih atipouh navah,
And he said, Who art thou? and she said, I am thine handmaid Ruth; spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid, for thou art a near relation.
10 Ahni ni ka canu kahring Cathut ni yawhawinae na poe seh. Nang teh ka tawnta e tongpa, ka roedeng e tongpa buetbuet touh na kângue hoeh. Hmaloe na sak e pahrennae hlak a hnukkhu na sak e pahrennae hoe a len.
And Booz said, Blessed [be] thou of the Lord God, [my] daughter, for thou hast made thy latter kindness greater than the former, in that thou followest not after young men, whether [any be] poor or rich.
11 Ka canu na lungpuen hanh. Na hei e pueng teh ka sak han. Nang teh a nuen kahawi e napui lah na o e ka miphun onae kho pueng ni a panue.
And now fear not, my daughter, whatever thou shalt say I will do to thee; for all the tribe of my people knows that thou art a virtuous woman.
12 Kai teh ratang thainae ka tawn e miphun katang lah ka o. Hateiteh, kai hlak vah ratang thainae ka tawn e miphun buet touh ao rah.
And now I am truly akin to thee; nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Sahnin tangmin teh awm ei, ahni ni ratang thainae paca lah sak ngai pawiteh sak naseh, sak ngai hoehpawiteh Cathut a hring e patetlah kai ni ka sak han, amom totouh ip ei atipouh.
Lodge [here] for the night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will do the part of a kinsman to thee, well—let him do it: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, I will do the kinsman's part to thee, [as] the Lord lives; lie down till the morning.
14 Ruth ni amom totouh a khok koevah a i teh buet touh hoi buet touh panuenae atueng a pha hoehnahlan vah a thaw. Tongpa ni hai napui koe hete laikawk koe na tho e apihai panuek sak hanh telah atipouh.
And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before a man could know his neighbour; and Booz said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
15 Hathnukkhu, nang ni na sin e cauithun hah patueng atipouh e patetlah a patueng. Barli cakang omer taruk touh a nue pouh. A lû dawk a thueng teh im a ban.
And he said to her, Bring the apron that is upon thee: and she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and put them upon her, and she went into the city.
16 A mani koe a pha toteh bangtelamaw telah a pacei. Nang dawkvah ahni ni a sak e thoseh,
And Ruth went in to her mother-in-law, and she said to her, [My] daughter! and [Ruth] told her all that the man had done to her.
17 ahni ni nang teh na mani koe kuthrawng hoi cet hanh telah barli cakang taruk touh a poe e hai thoseh a dei pouh.
And she said to her, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother-in-law.
18 A mani ni hai ka canu hete hno bangtelah hoi maw abaw han tie na panue hoeh totouh tahung ei. Tongpa ni sahnin hete hno abaw hoehnahlan muengmueng awm hoeh telah a dei pouh.
And she said, Sit still, [my] daughter, until thou shalt know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.
