< 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?
Sinabi sa kaniya ni Naomi, na kaniyang biyenan, “Aking anak, hindi ba dapat na humanap ako ng lugar para makapagpahinga ka, kaya maging maayos ang mga bagay para sa iyo?
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.
Ngayon si Boaz, ang lalaki na ang mga kabataang babaing manggagawa ay nakasama mo, hindi ba kamag-anak natin siya? Tingnan mo, magtatahip siya ng sebada mamayang gabi sa giikang palapag.
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.
Kaya, maglinis, maglagay ka ng pabango, magpalit ka ng damit, at bumaba sa giikan. Pero huwag ka munang magpakilala sa lalaki hanggang matapos siyang kumain at uminom.
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.
At tiyakin mo, kapag humiga siya, na matandaan mo ang lugar kung saan siya nakahiga para mamaya ay maaari kang pumunta sa kaniya, alisin ang takip ng kaniyang mga paa, at humiga roon. Pagkatapos sasabihin niya sa iyo ang iyong gagawin.”
5 And she said, I will do all you say.
Sinabi ni Ruth kay Naomi, “Gagawin ko ang lahat ng bagay na sasabihin ninyo.”
6 So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.
Kaya bumaba siya sa giikan, at sumunod siya sa mga tagubiling ibinigay sa kaniya ng kaniyang biyenan.
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.
Nang si Boaz ay makakain at makainom at ang kaniyang puso ay masigla, pumunta siya para humiga sa dulo ng tumpok ng butil. Pagkatapos siya ay dahan-dahang lumapit, inalis ang takip ng kaniyang mga paa, at nahiga.
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.
Nangyari ito noong hatinggabi na ang lalaki ay nagulat. Bumalikwas siya, at naroon ang isang babae na nakahiga sa kaniyang paanan.
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.
Sinabi niya, “Sino ka?” Sumagot siya, “Ako si Ruth, ang iyong babaeng lingkod. Ilatag mo ang inyong balabal sa iyong babaeng lingkod, dahil ikaw ay isang malapit na kamag-anak.”
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.
Sinabi ni Boaz, “Aking anak, pagpalain ka nawa ni Yahweh. Nagpakita ka ng higit na kabaitan sa huli kaysa sa simula, dahil hindi ka humabol alinman sa mga binata, maging mahirap man o mayaman.
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.
At ngayon, aking anak, huwag kang matakot! Gagawin ko para sa iyo ang lahat ng sabihin mo, dahil ang buong lungsod ng aking bayan ay nalalaman na ikaw ay isang karapat-dapat na babae.
12 Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.
Ngayon ito ay totoo na ako ay isang malapit na kamag-anak; sa gayon, may isang kamag-anak na mas malapit kaysa akin.
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.
Manatili ka rito ngayong gabi, at sa umaga, kung gagampanan niya para sa iyo ang tungkulin ng isang kamag-anak, mabuti, hayaang gawin niya ang tungkulin ng isang kamag-anak. Pero kung hindi niya gagawin ang tungkulin ng isang kamag-anak para sa iyo, pagkatapos ako ang gagawa nito, sa pamamagitan ng buhay ni Yahweh. Mahiga ka hanggang sa umaga.”
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.
Kaya nahiga siya sa kaniyang paanan hanggang umaga. Pero bumangon siya bago pa man may sinumang makakilala ng ibang tao. Dahil sinabi ni Boaz, “Huwag hayaang malaman na pumarito ang babae sa giikan.”
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Boaz, “Dalhin mo ang iyong balabal at hawakan mo ito.” Nang gawin niya iyon, nakasukat siya ng anim na malalaking sukat ng sebada sa loob nito at pinasan niya. Pagkatapos nagtungo siya sa lungsod.
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.
Nang dumating si Ruth sa kaniyang biyenan, sinabi niya, “Kamusta ang iyong ginawa, aking anak?” Pagkatapos sinabi ni Ruth sa kaniya ang lahat ng nagawa ng lalaki para sa kaniya.
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.
Sinabi niya, “Itong anim na sukat ng sebada ay kung ano ang ibinigay niya sa akin, dahil sinabi niya, 'Huwag kang umalis na walang dala sa iyong biyenan.'”
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Naomi, “Manatili ka rito, aking anak, hanggang malaman mo kung anong mangyayari sa bagay na ito, dahil hindi titigil ang lalaki hanggang matapos niya ang bagay na ito ngayon.”
