< Ruth 3 >

1 And Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, My daughter, am I not to get you a resting-place where you may be in comfort?
In kutu pacl tok, Naomi el fahk nu sel Ruth, “Nga enenu in konauk sie mukul ah tomom, tuh in wo ouiyom ac in oasr acn sum sifacna.
2 And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor.
Esam lah Boaz, mwet se ma kom wi mutan ingan orekma la inge, el sou nu sesr. Porongo ma nga ac fahk uh. Oyeku el ac fah aknasnasye barley lal ah.
3 So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.
Fahla yihla, ac fwikomla ke ono keng, ac nokomang nuknuk se ma wo emeet lom an. Na kom som nu yen el orekma we, tusruktu nimet kom oru elan liye kom nwe ke na el mongo ac nim tari.
4 But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do.
Liye akwoye acn el ac oan we an, ac el fin motulla, na kom utyak ikasak kaot lal an ac ona ke nial. El ac fah fahk nu sum ma kom in oru.”
5 And she said, I will do all you say.
Na Ruth el fahk, “Nga ac fah oru ma nukewa kom fahk an.”
6 So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.
Ouinge Ruth el som nu nien aknasnasye barley, ac oru oana ma Naomi el fahk ah.
7 Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest.
Ke Boaz el mongoi ac nim tari, el arulana mwesasla nunkal. El som nu ke acn ma barley ah yol oan we ah, ac ona in motulla. Na Ruth el mahsrikyak nu in acn el oan we, ikasak kaot lal ah, ac ona ke nial.
8 Now in the middle of the night, the man awaking from his sleep in fear, and lifting himself up, saw a woman stretched at his feet.
In fong sac Boaz el ngutalik ac ikla, na el lut na pwaye lah mutan se oan ke nial.
9 And he said, Who are you? And she answering said, I am your servant Ruth: take your servant as wife, for you are a near relation.
Na el siyuk, “Su kom an?” Na el topuk ac fahk, “Nga Ruth. Mweyen kom pa sie sou fototo nu sesr uh, laknelik kaot lom an ac afinyuwi.”
10 And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth.
Na Boaz el fahk, “LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kom, acn nutik. Ma se kom oru inge akkalemye lupan nunak pwaye lom nu sin sou lasr uh yohk liki na orekma wo nukewa ma kom oru nu sin nina talupom. Kom ku pacna in som suk sie mwet fusr su kasrup ku sukasrup, tuh pa kom tiana.
11 And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.
Ke ma inge, Ruth, nimet kom fosrnga. Nga ac srike in oru ma nukewa ma kom siyuk an, mweyen mwet nukewa in acn se inge elos etu lah kom sie mutan wo.
12 Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.
Pwaye lah nga sou fototo nu sum, ac fal nga in karingin kom, tusruktu oasr pac mukul se sou fototo nu sum likiyu.
13 Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so.
Mutana inge ofong, ac lututang kut fah liye lah mukul sac ac lungse in karingin kom. El fin lungse, wo. Tuh el fin tia, na nga fulahk ke Inen LEUM GOD moul lah nga ac fah karingin kom. Inge ona ac motulla nwe ke lenelik.”
14 And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor.
Na Ruth el motulla ke nial, tusruktu el tukakek meet liki kalmelik ah, mweyen Boaz el tia lungse in oasr mwet etu lah Ruth el tuku nu we.
15 And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.
Na Boaz el fahk nu sel, “Eisla nuknuk se ma sang afin kom ingan ac laknelik insacn.” Ke el laknelik ah Boaz el okoaung sunun paun lumngaul ke barley nu loac, ac kasrel srukak nu finpisal. Na Ruth el us folokla nu in acn el muta we ah.
16 And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.
Ke el utyak nu lohm ah, Naomi el siyuk sel, “Acn nutik, fuka som lom ah?” Na Ruth el fahkang ma nukewa ma Boaz el oru nu sel.
17 And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.
Na el sifilpa fahk, “El mu nga in tia pisinpo foloko nu yurum, na pa el se barley inge nga in us tuku.”
18 Then she said, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through.
Na Naomi el fahk nu sel, “Ruth, kom in muteng nwe ke kalem ma nukewa. Boaz el ac tia ku in mongla misenge nwe ke el aksafyela ma se inge.”
