Ruth 2
1 Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Naomi azalaki na ndeko moko kati na libota ya mobali na ye; ndeko yango azalaki ya etuka ya Elimeleki, azalaki penza na bozwi mingi; kombo na ye ezalaki « Boazi. »
2 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 find favor.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
Rite, moto ya Moabi, alobaki na Naomi: — Okoki kopesa ngai nzela ya kokende na bilanga mpo na kolokota mito ya ble, oyo bato oyo bakataka ble batiki. Nakozala na sima ya moto oyo akosalela ngai ngolu. Naomi alobaki na ye: — Mwana na ngai, kende.
3 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.
Rite akendeki mpe abandaki kolokota ble na bilanga, na sima ya bato oyo bakataka ble. Akutanaki na libaku ya malamu, pamba te ayaki kososola ete azali kosala kati na elanga ya Boazi, moto ya etuka ya Elimeleki.
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the LORD be with you.” They answered him, “May the LORD bless you.”
Sima na mwa tango, Boazi awutaki na Beteleemi; ayaki ye moko, apesaki mbote na bato oyo bakataka ble na koloba: — Tika ete Yawe azala elongo na bino! Bazongiselaki ye: — Tika ete Yawe apambola yo!
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
Boazi atunaki mokambi ya bato oyo bakataka ble: — Elenge mwasi wana azali ya nani?
6 The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
Mokambi ya bato oyo bakataka ble azongisaki: — Azali elenge mwasi ya Moabi; ayaki elongo na Naomi wuta na mboka Moabi.
7 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 rested a little in the house.”
Asengaki biso nzela ya kolokota mito ya ble, oyo etikalaka tango bakangaka maboke, na sima ya bato oyo bakataka ble. Na tongo ya lelo, akotaki na bilanga mpe azali kosala na molende nyonso; kino sik’oyo, apemi kaka tango moke.
8 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.
Boazi alobaki na Rite: — Yoka ngai malamu, mwana na ngai ya mwasi: « Kokende kolokota ble na bilanga mosusu te mpe kokende mosika ya elanga oyo te, kasi vanda awa elongo na basali na ngai ya basi.
9 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Have not 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.”
Tala malamu bilanga oyo epai wapi bato bazali kokata ble mpe zala na sima ya bana basi oyo bazali kolokota ble. Nalobi na mibali ete basimba yo te. Tango nyonso ozali na posa ya mayi, kende mpe mela na bambeki oyo mibali batondisi. »
10 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?”
Tango Rite ayokaki bongo, agumbamaki, elongi kino na mabele. Alobaki: — Mpo na nini nazwi ngolu ya boye na miso na yo? Mpo na nini ozali kopesa ngai lokumu ya boye, ngai oyo nazali mopaya?
11 Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you did not know before.
Boazi azongisaki: — Bayebisaki ngai makambo nyonso oyo osalaki mpo na mama-bokilo na yo wuta tango mobali na ye akufaki, ndenge otikaki tata mpe mama na yo, mboka epai wapi obotama, mpe oyaki kovanda elongo na bato oyo oyebaki liboso te.
12 May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Tika ete Yawe afuta yo mpo na makambo oyo osalaki. Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, afuta yo koleka, lokola oyaki kobombama na se ya mapapu na Ye!
13 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 servant, though I am not as one of your servants.”
Rite alobaki: — Tika ete nakoba kozwa ngolu na miso na yo, nkolo na ngai. Obondisi motema na ngai, osololi na mwasi mosali na yo na boboto nyonso. Nzokande, nakokani te ata na moko ya basali na yo ya basi.
14 At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.
Na tango ya kolia, Boazi alobaki na ye: « Pusana awa mpe kamata eteni ya lipa, zindisa yango na vino. » Tango avandaki elongo na bato oyo bakataka ble, Boazi apesaki ye ndambo ya bambuma bakalinga. Aliaki ndenge alingaki mpe atikaki mosusu.
15 When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.
Tango atelemaki mpo na kolokota lisusu ble, Boazi apesaki mitindo epai ya basali na ye: « Botika ye kolokota ata oyo ezali na kati-kati ya maboke, botungisa ye te.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and do not rebuke her.”
Bokoki mpe kokweyisa bambuma mpo na ye, mpo ete alokota na ye, mpe bozomela ye te. »
17 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.
Boye Rite alokotaki ble na elanga kino na pokwa, aningisaki oyo alokotaki mpe azwaki bakilo pene tuku minei ya bambuma ya orje.
18 She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.
Amemaki yango na engumba, mpe mama-bokilo na ye amonaki bambuma oyo alokotaki. Rite abimisaki lisusu biloko oyo atikaki tango atondaki mpe apesaki yango epai ya mama-bokilo na ye.
19 Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
Naomi atunaki Rite: — Lelo, olokotaki ble na esika nini? Osalaki na esika nini? Tika ete moto oyo apesi yo lokumu ya boye apambolama! Bongo Rite ayebisaki mama-bokilo na ye makambo oyo etali nkolo ya esika epai wapi asalaki. Alobaki: « Kombo ya moto yango ezali Boazi. »
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not abandoned 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.”
Naomi alobaki na bokilo na ye ya mwasi: « Tika ete Yawe apambolama, Ye oyo atiki te kotalisa bolamu na Ye epai na biso bato ya bomoi mpe epai na bakufi. Mobali wana azali ndeko na biso ya pembeni, azali kati na molongo ya bato oyo bakoki kosikola biso. »
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
Rite, moto ya Moabi, alobaki: — Alobaki na ngai kutu: « Vanda elongo na basali na ngai kino bakosilisa kobuka bambuma na ngai nyonso. »
22 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.”
Naomi azongiselaki Rite, bokilo na ye ya mwasi: — Ekozala malamu mpo na yo kotambolaka elongo na basali na ye ya basi; pamba te soki okeyi na elanga ya moto mosusu, okoki komona pasi.
23 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.
Boye Rite avandaki pembeni ya basali ya Boazi mpo na kolokota mito ya ble, kino tango ya kobuka bambuma ya orje mpe ya ble, esilaki. Awumelaki kovanda elongo na mama-bokilo na ye.
