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 to her, —My daughter! shall I not seek for thee a place of rest, in which 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.
Now, therefore, is not, Boaz, of our kindred, with whose maidens thou hast been? Lo! he is winnowing the barley threshing-floor, to-night!
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.
Thou wilt, therefore, bathe thee, and anoint thee, and put thine apparel upon thee, and go down to the threshing-floor, —do not make thyself known to the man, until he 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 doth lie, and shalt go in and turn aside the covering of 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, will I do.
6 Omiyo ne odhi kar dino cham, kendo notimo gik moko duto mane wuon odgi onyise mondo otim.
So she went down to the threshing-floor, —and did according to all 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 eaten, and drunk, and his heart was glad, he went in to lie down at the end of the heap of corn. Then came she in softly, and turned aside the covering of 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, in the middle of the night, that the man started up, and turned, —and lo! a woman, lying 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 said, I, am Ruth, thy handmaid, spread, therefore, thy wing over thy handmaid, for, a kinsman, thou art.
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 Yahweh, my daughter, for thou hast made thy last lovingkindness better than the first, —in not following after 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, therefore, my daughter, do not fear, whatsoever thou shalt say, I will do for thee, —for all the gate of my people doth know, that, a virtuous woman, thou art.
12 Kata obedo ni en adier ni an watni, to nitie watni mahie moro machielo ma jakori moloya.
And, now, although it is true that, a kinsman, am I, yet is there 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 the night, and it shall be, in the morning, if he will act as kinsman to thee, well, let him so act, but, if he inclineth not to act as kinsman to thee, then will, I, so act to thee—by the life of Yahweh, —Lie still, 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.”
So she lay at his feet, until the morning, and rose up before one could know his neighbour. And he said—Do not let it be known that a woman came into 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.
And he said—Bring the cloak that is upon thee, and hold it. So she held it, —and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it upon 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,
And, when she came unto her mother-in- law, she said—Who art, thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done 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—These six measures of barley, gave he unto me, —for he said, Do not go in 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.”
And she said—Abide, my daughter, until that thou get to know, how the matter will fall out, —for the man will not rest, except he have finished the thing to-day.
