< Ruth 2 >

1 Now Naomi had a relative on her husband’s side, a prominent man of noble character from the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
Naomi ne nigi watne moro ma jadala gi chwore, mane wuok e anywola joka Elimelek, mane nyinge Boaz. Boaz ne en ngʼama idewo momi luor.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go into the fields and glean heads of grain after someone in whose sight I may find favor.” “Go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied.
Kendo Ruth nyar Moab nowachone Naomi niya, “Yiena mondo adhi e puothe mondo ahul cham ma jokeyo oweyo, e puoth ngʼato angʼata manyalo timona ngʼwono.” Naomi nowachone niya, “Dhi adhiya, nyara.”
3 So Ruth departed and went out into the field and gleaned after the harvesters. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
Omiyo nowuok modhi kendo nochako hulo e puothe bangʼ jokeyo. To nopo nono ni otiyo mana e puoth Boaz, mane wuok e anywola mar Elimelek.
4 Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and said to the harvesters, “The LORD be with you.” “The LORD bless you,” they replied.
E kindeno Boaz nochopo koa Bethlehem, kendo nomoso jokeyo niya, “Jehova Nyasaye obed kodu!” Jokeyo bende nomose niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhi.”
5 And Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, “Whose young woman is this?”
Boaz nopenjo nyapara mar tich mane rito jokeyogo niya, “Dhako ma pod tin cha en mar ngʼa?”
6 The foreman answered, “She is the Moabitess who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.
Nyaparano nodwoko niya, “En nyar Moab manyocha odwogo gi Naomi koa e piny Moab.
7 She has said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the harvesters.’ So she came out and has continued from morning until now, except that she rested a short time in the shelter.”
Nokwayowa ni, ‘Yienauru ahul kendo achok cham modongʼ e dier tiangʼ moseka ma jokeyo oweyo bangʼ-gi.’ Nodonjo e puodho kendo koro osetiyo ma ok oywe, chakre okinyi nyaka sani, makmana kuom thuolo matin mane oyweyogo ei kiru.”
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Do not go and glean in another field, and do not go away from this place, but stay here close to my servant girls.
Kuom mano Boaz nowachone Ruth niya, “Nyara, winj gima anyisi. Kik koro idhi ihul cham e puodho machielo kendo kik ia ka. Bed ka kod nyiri matiyona.
9 Let your eyes be on the field they are harvesting, and follow along after these girls. Indeed, I have ordered the young men not to touch you. And when you are thirsty, go and drink from the jars the young men have filled.”
Rit puodho ma ji keyoe, kendo lu bangʼ joma nyiri. Asenyiso joma chwo ni kik gimuli. Kendo sa asaya ma riyo oloyie to dhi imodhi e dopige ma jogi osepongʼo gi pi.”
10 At this, she fell on her face, bowing low to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you should take notice of me, even though I am a foreigner?”
Kane Ruth owinjo wechegi, nokulore piny e nyim Boaz. Nowuoyo kowuoro niya, “Angʼo momiyo aseyudo ngʼwono machal kama e nyim wangʼi, an japiny moro nono?”
11 Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before.
Boaz nodwoko niya, “Osenyisa gik moko duto misetimone wuon odu chakre chiengʼ mane chwori othoe; kaka niweyo wuonu gi minu gi thuru kendo nibiro mondo idag gi joma ne ok ingʼeyo chon.
12 May the LORD repay your work, and may you receive a rich reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have taken refuge.”
Mad Jehova Nyasaye chuli kuom gima isetimo. Mad Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel, misebiro mondo ipondi e bwo bwombene, ogwedhi gi gweth mogundho.”
13 “My lord,” she said, “may I continue to find favor in your eyes, for you have comforted and spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your servant girls.”
Ruth nowacho niya, “Mad amed yudo ngʼwono e nyim wangʼi, yaye ruodha. Isehoya kendo isewuoyo gi ngʼwono ne jatichni; kata obedo ni an dhano adhana ma ok nyal pim kata gi achiel kuom jotijegi ma nyiri.”
14 At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come over here; have some bread and dip it into the vinegar sauce.” So she sat down beside the harvesters, and he offered her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left over.
Kane sa chiemo ochopo, Boaz nowachone niya, “Bi ka ichiem. Kaw makati mondo iluti e divai makech.” Kane obet piny gi jokeyo, ne omiye ondelo moko. Ne ochiemo moyiengʼ mi chiemo moko nodongʼ.
15 When Ruth got up to glean, Boaz ordered his young men, “Even if she gathers among the sheaves, do not insult her.
Kane oa malo mondo ochak hulo, Boaz nomiyo joge chik niya, “Kata kapo ni ochoko kogolo kuom cham mapok oka, to kik uchande.
16 Rather, pull out for her some stalks from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not rebuke her.”
Kar chande to golneuru cham moko mapok oka kuonde mochung-gie kendo uwene mondo oka odhigo, kendo kik utame.”
17 So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. And when she beat out what she had gleaned, it was about an ephah of barley.
Omiyo Ruth nohulo e puodho nyaka odhiambo. Eka bangʼe notengʼo cham mar shairi mane osechoko, kendo ne oromo debe achiel.
18 She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought out what she had saved from her meal and gave it to Naomi.
Ne otingʼe motere nyaka dala, kendo wuon odgi noneno kar romb cham mane ochoko. Bende Ruth noterone chiemo mane ochamo odongʼ.
19 Then her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today, and where did you work? Blessed be the man who noticed you.” So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.
Wuon odgi nopenje niya, “Kawuono ne ihulo kanye? Ne itiyo kanye? Ogwedh ngʼat mane iyudo motimoni maberni!” Eka Ruth nonyiso wuon odgi kuom ngʼat mane otiyo e puothe chiengʼno. Nowacho niya, “Ngʼat mane atiyo e puothe kawono iluongo ni Boaz.”
20 Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not withdrawn His kindness from the living or the dead.” Naomi continued, “The man is a close relative. He is one of our kinsman-redeemers.”
Naomi nowachone chi wuode niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhe. Pok oweyo nyiso ngʼwonone ne joma ngima kod joma otho.” Nomedo wuoyo kowacho niya, “Ngʼat mosetimoni maberno en watwa hie, machiegni kodwa.”
21 Then Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also told me, ‘Stay with my young men until they have finished gathering all my harvest.’”
Eka Ruth nyar Moab nowacho niya, “Bende nowacho ni, ‘Bed kaachiel gi jotichna ma nyiri nyaka chop gitiek kayo chamba duto.’”
22 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “My daughter, it is good for you to work with his young women, so that nothing will happen to you in another field.”
Naomi nokone Ruth chi wuode niya, “Nyara, biro bedoni maber ka idhi ibedo kaachiel gi nyige, nikech kidhi e puoth ngʼat moro machielo, to gimoro marach nyalo hinyi.”
23 So Ruth stayed close to the servant girls of Boaz to glean grain until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
Kuom mano, Ruth nobet machiegni gi jotich Boaz ma nyiri kohulo nyaka chop keyo mar shairi gi mar ngano norumo. Kindeno duto Ruth nodak gi wuon odgi.
