< 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?
Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, 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.
Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Look, he winnows barley tonight at the threshing floor.
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 yourself, anoint yourself, and put on your clothes, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished 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.”
It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall do."
5 Ruth nodwoke niya, “Abiro timo gimoro amora minyisa.”
She said to her, "All that you say I will do."
6 Omiyo ne odhi kar dino cham, kendo notimo gik moko duto mane wuon odgi onyise mondo otim.
She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told 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.
When Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came quietly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 Odiwuor tir, gimoro nobwogo Boaz. To ka nolokore noyudo ka dhako moro onindo bute gi yo katiende.
It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned over; and look, 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.”
He said, "Who are you?" She answered, "I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your handmaid; for you are a redeeming 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.
He said, "Blessed are you by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow 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.
Now, my daughter, do not be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.
12 Kata obedo ni en adier ni an watni, to nitie watni mahie moro machielo ma jakori moloya.
Now it is true that I am a redeeming kinsman; however there is a redeemer closer than I am.
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.”
Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a redeemer, well; let him do the redeemer's part. But if he will not do the part of a redeemer for you, then I will do the part of a redeemer for you, as the LORD lives. 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.”
She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing 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.
He said, "Bring the cloak that is on you, and hold it." She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he 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,
When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did it go, my daughter?" 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!’”
She said, "He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said to me, 'Do not go empty-handed 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.”
Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day."
