< 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.
Alò Naomi te gen yon fanmi pwòch a mari li, yon nonm avèk anpil richès, ki sòti nan fanmi Élimélec, ki te rele Boaz.
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.
Ruth, Moabit la te di a Naomi: “Souple, kite mwen ale ranmase lòj pami tèt sereyal yo nan chan a sila ke mwen kapab twouve favè nan zye li.” Epi li te di l: “Ale fi mwen.”
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.
Konsa, li te sòti pou te ale ranmase nan chan an apre moun rekòlt yo. Epi li te vin rive nan pòsyon chan ki te pou Boaz la, ki te manm fanmi Élimélec la.
4 Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and said to the harvesters, “The LORD be with you.” “The LORD bless you,” they replied.
Alò vwala, Boaz te sòti Bethléhem pou te di a moun rekòlt yo: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab avèk nou.” Epi yo te di li: “Ke SENYÈ a beni nou.”
5 And Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, “Whose young woman is this?”
Konsa, Boaz te di a sèvitè li ki te an chaj moun rekòlt yo: “Pou kilès jenn fanm sila a?”
6 The foreman answered, “She is the Moabitess who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.
Sèvitè an chaj la te reponn: “Se jenn fanm Moabit ki te retounen avèk Naomi soti nan peyi Moab la.
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.”
Li te di nou: ‘Souple, kite mwen ranmase e sanble apre moun rekòlt yo pami pakèt mwasonyè yo.’ Konsa, li te vini e te rete soti nan maten a jis rive koulye a, sòf ke li te chita nan kay la pou yon ti tan.”
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.
Alò, Boaz te di a Ruth: “Koute byen fi mwen! Pa ale ranmase nan chan lòt moun. Anplis, pa kite chan sila a, men rete isit la avèk sèvant mwen yo.
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.”
Kite zye ou rete sou chan ke yo rekòlte a e swiv yo. Vrèman, mwen te kòmande sèvitè mwen yo pou pa touche ou. Lè ou swaf, ale nan veso dlo yo pou bwè nan sa ke sèvitè yo rale.”
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?”
Alò, li te tonbe sou figi li e te bese ba atè. Li te di l: “Poukisa mwen jwenn favè nan zye w konsa, pou ou ta wè m, paske se yon etranje ke mwen ye?”
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 te reponn li: “Tout sa ke ou te fè pou bèlmè ou apre lanmò mari ou te deklare nèt a mwen menm; jan ou te kite papa ou avèk manman ou, peyi nesans ou e te vini a yon pèp ke ou pa t menm konnen oparavan.
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.”
Ke SENYÈ a kapab bay ou rekonpans pou travay sa a, e ke salè ou ki sòti nan SENYÈ a vin plen nèt; Li menm Bondye a Israël la, anba zèl a sila ou te vini mande refij la.”
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.”
Epi li te di: “Kite mwen jwenn favè nan zye ou, patwon mwen, paske ou te fè m jwenn konfò e vrèman te pale pawòl emab anvè sèvant ou, malgre mwen pa youn nan sèvant ou yo.”
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.
Nan lè manje a, Boaz te di li: “Vin isit la, pou ou kapab manje nan pen an e fonse mòso pen ou an nan vinèg la.” Konsa li te chita akote moun rekòlt yo. Li te sèvi li sereyal boukannen; li te manje, te satisfè, epi te gen rès ki rete.
15 When Ruth got up to glean, Boaz ordered his young men, “Even if she gathers among the sheaves, do not insult her.
Lè li te leve pou ale ranmase, Boaz te kòmande sèvitè li yo. Li te di: “Kite li ranmase menm pami pakèt yo, pa bay li pwoblèm.
16 Rather, pull out for her some stalks from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not rebuke her.”
Anplis, nou va rale kèk nan pakèt yo eksprè e kite li la pou li kapab ranmase e pa repwoche l.”
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.
Konsa Ruth te ranmase nan chan an jis rive nan aswè. Lè li te bat sa li te ranmase yo, li te anviwon yon efa lòj.
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.
Li te pran li e te lantre nan vil la pou bèlmè li te wè sa ke li te ranmase yo. Li anplis te rale bay Naomi sa ki te rete lè li menm te fin satisfè.
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.
Bèlmè li te di li: “Kote ou te ranmase jodi a e kibò ou te travay? Pou sila ki te pran enterè nan ou yo kapab beni!” Konsa, li te di bèlmè li avèk ki moun li te travay, epi te di: “Non a mesye a avèk sila mwen te travay jodi a te 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 te di bèlfi li: “Ke li menm kapab beni pa SENYÈ a ki pa t retire mizerikòd li sou vivan yo ak sou mò yo.” Ankò, Naomi te di a li: “Nonm nan se fanmi nou, li se youn nan fanmi pwòch nou yo.”
21 Then Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also told me, ‘Stay with my young men until they have finished gathering all my harvest.’”
Alò Ruth Moabit la te di, “Anplis, li te di mwen: ‘Ou dwe rete pre sèvitè mwen yo jiskaske yo fin fè rekòlt mwen.’”
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 te di a Ruth, bèlfi li a: “Sa bon pitit mwen pou ou sòti avèk sèvant li yo, pou kèk lòt moun pa vin tonbe sou ou nan yon lòt chan.”
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.
Konsa li te rete pre sèvant Boaz yo pou ranmase jiska fen rekòlt lòj la avèk ble a. Epi li te rete lakay bèlmè li.
