< Ruth 2 >
1 Naomi ne nigi watne moro ma jadala gi chwore, mane wuok e anywola joka Elimelek, mane nyinge Boaz. Boaz ne en ngʼama idewo momi luor.
Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
2 Kendo Ruth nyar Moab nowachone Naomi niya, “Yiena mondo adhi e puothe mondo ahul cham ma jokeyo oweyo, e puoth ngʼato angʼata manyalo timona ngʼwono.” Naomi nowachone niya, “Dhi adhiya, nyara.”
Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor." She said to her, "Go, my daughter."
3 Omiyo nowuok modhi kendo nochako hulo e puothe bangʼ jokeyo. To nopo nono ni otiyo mana e puoth Boaz, mane wuok e anywola mar Elimelek.
She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 E kindeno Boaz nochopo koa Bethlehem, kendo nomoso jokeyo niya, “Jehova Nyasaye obed kodu!” Jokeyo bende nomose niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhi.”
Look, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you." They answered him, "The LORD bless you."
5 Boaz nopenjo nyapara mar tich mane rito jokeyogo niya, “Dhako ma pod tin cha en mar ngʼa?”
Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"
6 Nyaparano nodwoko niya, “En nyar Moab manyocha odwogo gi Naomi koa e piny Moab.
The servant who was set over the reapers answered, "It is the Moabite woman who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
7 Nokwayowa ni, ‘Yienauru ahul kendo achok cham modongʼ e dier tiangʼ moseka ma jokeyo oweyo bangʼ-gi.’ Nodonjo e puodho kendo koro osetiyo ma ok oywe, chakre okinyi nyaka sani, makmana kuom thuolo matin mane oyweyogo ei kiru.”
She said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little in the house."
8 Kuom mano Boaz nowachone Ruth niya, “Nyara, winj gima anyisi. Kik koro idhi ihul cham e puodho machielo kendo kik ia ka. Bed ka kod nyiri matiyona.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field, and do not go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
9 Rit puodho ma ji keyoe, kendo lu bangʼ joma nyiri. Asenyiso joma chwo ni kik gimuli. Kendo sa asaya ma riyo oloyie to dhi imodhi e dopige ma jogi osepongʼo gi pi.”
Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven't I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn."
10 Kane Ruth owinjo wechegi, nokulore piny e nyim Boaz. Nowuoyo kowuoro niya, “Angʼo momiyo aseyudo ngʼwono machal kama e nyim wangʼi, an japiny moro nono?”
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?"
11 Boaz nodwoko niya, “Osenyisa gik moko duto misetimone wuon odu chakre chiengʼ mane chwori othoe; kaka niweyo wuonu gi minu gi thuru kendo nibiro mondo idag gi joma ne ok ingʼeyo chon.
Boaz answered her, "It has fully been shown to me, all that you have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn't know before.
12 Mad Jehova Nyasaye chuli kuom gima isetimo. Mad Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel, misebiro mondo ipondi e bwo bwombene, ogwedhi gi gweth mogundho.”
May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."
13 Ruth nowacho niya, “Mad amed yudo ngʼwono e nyim wangʼi, yaye ruodha. Isehoya kendo isewuoyo gi ngʼwono ne jatichni; kata obedo ni an dhano adhana ma ok nyal pim kata gi achiel kuom jotijegi ma nyiri.”
Then she said, "Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens."
14 Kane sa chiemo ochopo, Boaz nowachone niya, “Bi ka ichiem. Kaw makati mondo iluti e divai makech.” Kane obet piny gi jokeyo, ne omiye ondelo moko. Ne ochiemo moyiengʼ mi chiemo moko nodongʼ.
At meal time Boaz said to her, "Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar." She sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it.
15 Kane oa malo mondo ochak hulo, Boaz nomiyo joge chik niya, “Kata kapo ni ochoko kogolo kuom cham mapok oka, to kik uchande.
When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not humiliate her.
16 Kar chande to golneuru cham moko mapok oka kuonde mochung-gie kendo uwene mondo oka odhigo, kendo kik utame.”
Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her."
17 Omiyo Ruth nohulo e puodho nyaka odhiambo. Eka bangʼe notengʼo cham mar shairi mane osechoko, kendo ne oromo debe achiel.
So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 Ne otingʼe motere nyaka dala, kendo wuon odgi noneno kar romb cham mane ochoko. Bende Ruth noterone chiemo mane ochamo odongʼ.
She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.
19 Wuon odgi nopenje niya, “Kawuono ne ihulo kanye? Ne itiyo kanye? Ogwedh ngʼat mane iyudo motimoni maberni!” Eka Ruth nonyiso wuon odgi kuom ngʼat mane otiyo e puothe chiengʼno. Nowacho niya, “Ngʼat mane atiyo e puothe kawono iluongo ni Boaz.”
Her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you." She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz."
20 Naomi nowachone chi wuode niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhe. Pok oweyo nyiso ngʼwonone ne joma ngima kod joma otho.” Nomedo wuoyo kowacho niya, “Ngʼat mosetimoni maberno en watwa hie, machiegni kodwa.”
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of the LORD, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead." Naomi said to her, "The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen."
21 Eka Ruth nyar Moab nowacho niya, “Bende nowacho ni, ‘Bed kaachiel gi jotichna ma nyiri nyaka chop gitiek kayo chamba duto.’”
And Ruth the Moabitess said, "He even said to me, 'You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'"
22 Naomi nokone Ruth chi wuode niya, “Nyara, biro bedoni maber ka idhi ibedo kaachiel gi nyige, nikech kidhi e puoth ngʼat moro machielo, to gimoro marach nyalo hinyi.”
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field."
23 Kuom mano, Ruth nobet machiegni gi jotich Boaz ma nyiri kohulo nyaka chop keyo mar shairi gi mar ngano norumo. Kindeno duto Ruth nodak gi wuon odgi.
So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
