Ruth 3
1 One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek a resting place for you, that it may be well with you?
Mokolo moko, Naomi, mama-bokilo ya Rite, alobaki na ye: — Mwana na ngai, nasengeli te koluka nzela mpo na bolamu na yo?
2 Now is not Boaz, with whose servant girls you have been working, a relative of ours? In fact, tonight he is winnowing barley on the threshing floor.
Pamba te oyebi malamu ete Boazi, oyo osalaki elongo na basali na ye ya basi, azali ndeko na biso. Na pokwa ya lelo, akoyungola orje oyo basilaki kosopa na etando.
3 Therefore wash yourself, put on perfume, and wear your best clothes. Go down to the threshing floor, but do not let the man know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.
Boye, sukola malamu nzoto na yo, pakola mafuta mpe lata bilamba na yo, oyo eleki kitoko. Bongo, okokende na etando epai wapi akobeta orje na ye; kasi sala ete Boazi ayeba te ete ozali na esika yango kino akosilisa kolia mpe komela.
4 When he lies down, note the place where he lies. Then go in and uncover his feet, and lie down, and he will explain to you what you should do.”
Tango akokende kolala, okotala malamu esika nini akozala. Sima, okopusana, okolongola elamba oyo ezipi makolo na ye mpe okomilalisa wana, na makolo na ye. Ye moko akoyebisa yo makambo oyo osengeli kosala.
5 “I will do everything you say,” Ruth answered.
Rite azongiselaki ye: — Nakosala nyonso oyo oyebisi ngai.
6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had instructed her to do.
Bongo Rite akendeki na etando mpe asalaki makambo nyonso oyo mama-bokilo na ye ayebisaki ye.
7 After Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then Ruth went in secretly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
Tango Boazi asilisaki kolia mpe komela, motema na ye ezalaki na esengo; akendeki kolala na suka ya mipiku ya orje. Bongo Rite apusanaki malembe-malembe, alongolaki elamba oyo ezipaki makolo ya Boazi mpe amilalisaki wana.
8 At midnight, Boaz was startled, turned over, and there lying at his feet was a woman!
Na kati-kati ya butu, tango Boazi ayokaki malili, aminyololaki mpe amonaki mwasi alali na makolo na ye.
9 “Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she replied. “Spread the corner of your garment over me, for you are a kinsman-redeemer.”
Atunaki ye: — Yo ozali nani? Azongisaki: — Ezali ngai Rite, mwasi mosali na yo. Tanda songe ya elamba na yo kino epai na ngai, pamba te ozali na ndingisa ya kosikola.
10 Then Boaz said, “May the LORD bless you, my daughter. You have shown more kindness now than before, because you have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor.
Boazi azongiselaki ye: — Tika ete Yawe apambola yo, mwana na ngai ya mwasi! Bosembo oyo otalisi sik’oyo, ezali monene koleka bosembo oyo otalisaki liboso; pamba te otambolaki te sima na bilenge mibali, ezala bazwi to babola.
11 And now do not be afraid, my daughter. I will do for you whatever you request, since all my fellow townspeople know that you are a woman of noble character.
Mpe sik’oyo mwana na ngai ya mwasi, kobanga te; nakosalela yo nyonso oyo okosenga, pamba te bato nyonso ya esika oyo bayebi ete ozali mwasi ya malonga.
12 Yes, it is true that I am a kinsman-redeemer, but there is a redeemer nearer than I.
Sik’oyo, atako solo nazali na ndingisa ya kosikola, kasi ezali na mosikoli mosusu oyo azali pene na yo koleka ngai.
13 Stay here tonight, and in the morning, if he wants to redeem you, good. Let him redeem you. But if he does not want to redeem you, as surely as the LORD lives, I will. Now lie here until morning.”
Boye, lekisa butu awa; bongo lobi na tongo, tokotala soki moto yango akolinga kosikola yo. Soki akolinga, wana tika ye asikola yo; kasi soki aboyi, nalaki yo na Kombo na Yawe ete ngai nakosikola yo. Boye liboso ete tongo etana, lala awa.
14 So she lay down at his feet until morning, but she got up before anyone else could recognize her. Then Boaz said, “Do not let it be known that a woman came to the threshing floor.”
Boye Rite alalaki na makolo na ye mpe alamukaki na tongo-tongo, wana molili ezalaki nanu kopekisa bato komonana malamu; pamba te Boazi alobaki: « Moto moko te ayeba ete mwasi moko ayaki na etando oyo. »
15 And he told her, “Bring the shawl you are wearing and hold it out.” When she did so, he shoveled six measures of barley into her shawl. Then he went into the city.
Liboso ete akende, Boazi ayebisaki ye: « Pesa ngai elamba oyo olati, simba yango malamu. » Wana Rite asimbaki yango malamu, Boazi atielaki ye bakilo pene tuku mibale ya orje mpe asungaki ye mpo na kotombola mpe kotia yango na moto. Mpe Rite azongaki na engumba.
16 When Ruth returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked her, “How did it go, my daughter?” Then Ruth told her all that Boaz had done for her.
Tango Rite akomaki epai ya mama-bokilo na ye, Naomi atunaki ye: — Mwana na ngai ya mwasi, makambo eleki ndenge nini? Boye Rite ayebisaki ye makambo oyo Boazi asalaki mpo na ye.
17 And she said, “He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said, ‘Do not go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
Mpe abakisaki: « Apesaki ngai kutu bakilo tuku mibale ya orje oyo, pamba te ayebisaki ngai: ‹ Kozonga maboko pamba te epai ya mama-bokilo na yo. › »
18 “Wait, my daughter,” said Naomi, “until you find out how things go, for he will not rest unless he has resolved the matter today.”
Bongo Naomi alobaki na ye: — Sik’oyo mwana na ngai ya mwasi, vanda awa kino okomona ndenge makambo oyo ekosuka; pamba te mobali wana akozala na kimia te kino akosilisa likambo oyo, kaka na mokolo ya lelo.
