< 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?
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 Donge Boaz, misebedo ka ibet gi jotichne ma nyiri, en anywolawa? Kawuono gotieno wangʼ nopiedh shairi kar dino.
And now [is] not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
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.
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 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.”
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 Ruth nodwoke niya, “Abiro timo gimoro amora minyisa.”
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
6 Omiyo ne odhi kar dino cham, kendo notimo gik moko duto mane wuon odgi onyise mondo otim.
And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade 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 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 Odiwuor tir, gimoro nobwogo Boaz. To ka nolokore noyudo ka dhako moro onindo bute gi yo katiende.
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at 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, 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 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, 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 To koro, nyara, kik ibed maluor. Abiro timoni gimoro amora mikwayo. Jo-dalawa duto ongʼeyo ni in dhako ma kite ber.
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 Kata obedo ni en adier ni an watni, to nitie watni mahie moro machielo ma jakori moloya.
And now it is true that I [am thy] near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman 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.”
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 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 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 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.
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 Ka Ruth nobiro ir wuon odgi, Naomi nopenjo niya, “Weche nodhi nade, nyara?” Eka nowachone gik moko duto mane Boaz otimone,
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 kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Ne omiya gorogoro auchiel mag shairi kowacho ni, ‘Kik idog ir wuon odu gi lweti nono!’”
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 Eka Naomi nowacho niya, “Rit mondi, nyara, nyaka ingʼe gima timore. Nikech ngʼatno ok bi bedo mos kapok otiek wachno kawuono.”
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.
