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.
THEN Naomi her mother in law said unto 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 Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
3 Nang teh tui kamhluknae, satui kâhluknae, kamthoupnae khohnat nateh laikawk koe cet leih, ahni ni rawca be a ca hoehnahlan teh kâpâtue hanh.
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have 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 be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 Ahni ni a mani koe, na dei e pueng ka sak han atipouh.
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
6 Laikawk koe a cei teh a mani ni lawkthui e patetlah a sak.
And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade 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 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 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 afraid, and turned himself: 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 answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
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 he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether 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, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know 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 it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit 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.
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee 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 thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth: lie down until 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 one could know another. And he 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.
Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, 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 koe a pha toteh bangtelamaw telah a pacei. Nang dawkvah ahni ni a sak e thoseh,
And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she 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, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto 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.
Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
