Ruth 3
1 Chiengʼ moro Naomi ma wuod odgi nowachone niya, “Nyara, donge dibed maber ka anwangʼoni odi, kama inyalo chopnie dwarogi e yo maber?
But afterwards, when she returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi said to her: “My daughter, I will seek rest for you, and I will provide so that it may be well with you.
2 Donge Boaz, misebedo ka ibet gi jotichne ma nyiri, en anywolawa? Kawuono gotieno wangʼ nopiedh shairi kar dino.
This Boaz, whose young women you joined in the field, is our near relative, and this night he will winnow the threshing floor of barley.
3 Luokri kendo wirri gi mo madungʼ tik mamit, kendo rwak lepi mabeyo mogik. Kisetimo kamano, to dhi mwalo nyaka kar dino cham, to kik iwe ongʼe ni in kanyo nyaka sa ma osetieko chiemo gi metho.
Therefore, wash and anoint yourself, and put on your decorative garments, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not let the man see you, while he finishes eating and drinking.
4 Ka sechege mag nindo ochopo to ngʼe kama odhi nindoe. Bangʼ mano, ele gi yo ka tiende kendo inind kanyo. Bangʼe obiro nyisi gima onego itim.”
But when he goes to sleep, observe the place where he sleeps. And you will approach and lift up the covering, the part which covers near his feet, and lay yourself down, and sleep there; but he will tell you what you are obliged to do.”
5 Ruth nodwoke niya, “Abiro timo gimoro amora minyisa.”
She answered, “I will do everything as you have instructed.”
6 Omiyo ne odhi kar dino cham, kendo notimo gik moko duto mane wuon odgi onyise mondo otim.
And she went down to the threshing floor, and she did everything that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
7 Kane Boaz osetieko chiemo gi metho, kendo kane chunye koro mor, nodhi kare mar nindo machiegni gi kama nochokie ngano. Ruth nodonjo kanyo mos, moelo tiende kendo onindo kanyo.
And when Boaz had finished eating and drinking, and he was merry, and he had gone to sleep by the pile of sheaves, she approached secretly, and, lifting the covering near his feet, she laid herself down.
8 Odiwuor tir, gimoro nobwogo Boaz. To ka nolokore noyudo ka dhako moro onindo bute gi yo katiende.
And behold, when it was the middle of the night, the man became frightened and confused, and he saw a woman lying near his feet.
9 Nopenje niya, “In ngʼa?” Nodwoke niya, “An Ruth jatichni. Yie iyar bath nangani konchiel iumago, nikech in watna mahie machiegni koda.”
And he said to her, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth, your handmaid. Spread your covering over your servant, for you are a near relative.”
10 Nodwoko niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhi nyara. Tim maber makoro itimoni duongʼ moloyo mano manyocha isenyiso chon: Ok iseringo bangʼ yawuowi ma pod tindo, bed ni gin jomoko kata jochan.
And he said, “You are blessed by the Lord, daughter, and you have excelled beyond your earlier benevolence, because you have not followed young men, whether poor or rich.
11 To koro, nyara, kik ibed maluor. Abiro timoni gimoro amora mikwayo. Jo-dalawa duto ongʼeyo ni in dhako ma kite ber.
Therefore, do not be afraid, but whatever you decide about me, I will accomplish for you. For all the people, who dwell within the gates of my city, know that you are a virtuous woman.
12 Kata obedo ni en adier ni an watni, to nitie watni mahie moro machielo ma jakori moloya.
Neither do I deny myself to be a near relative, but there is another nearer than I.
13 Bed ka otienoni kende, to kiny gokinyi, kapo ni odwaro timoni gima owinjore otimni kaka watne mahie, to ber. To ka ok ohero mar timo kamano, to akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, abiro timoni kamano. Nind aninda ka nyaka okinyi.”
Be at peace for this night. And when morning arrives, if he is willing to uphold the law of kinship for you, things will turn out well; but if he is not willing, then, I will take you, without any doubt, as the Lord lives. Sleep until morning.”
14 Omiyo Ruth nonindo gi yo ka tiende nyaka huyuhuyu piny, to nochiewo ka pod ngʼato ok nyal ngʼeyo wadgi. Boaz nowachone niya, “Kik iwe ngʼato ngʼe ni dhako moro nobiro kar dino cham ka.”
And so she slept by his feet until the night was ending. And she arose before men could inquire of one another. And Boaz said, “Be careful, lest someone know that you came here.”
15 Bende nowacho niya, “Kel ane nanga mibakorigono ipedhnago piny kae.” Kane Ruth osetimo kamano, Boaz noolo gorogoro auchiel mag shairi morieyo e wiye. Bangʼ mano ne oa, modok dalagi.
And again he said, “Spread your mantle that covers you, and hold it with both hands.” As she extended it and held it, he measured six measures of barley and placed it upon her. Carrying it, she went into the city.
16 Ka Ruth nobiro ir wuon odgi, Naomi nopenjo niya, “Weche nodhi nade, nyara?” Eka nowachone gik moko duto mane Boaz otimone,
And she came to her mother-in-law, who said to her: “What have you been doing, daughter?” And she explained to her all that the man had accomplished for her.
17 kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Ne omiya gorogoro auchiel mag shairi kowacho ni, ‘Kik idog ir wuon odu gi lweti nono!’”
And she said, “Behold, he gave me six measures of barley, for he said, ‘I am not willing to have you return empty to your mother-in-law.’”
18 Eka Naomi nowacho niya, “Rit mondi, nyara, nyaka ingʼe gima timore. Nikech ngʼatno ok bi bedo mos kapok otiek wachno kawuono.”
And Naomi said, “Wait, daughter, until we see how things will turn out. For the man will not rest until he has accomplished what he said.”
