< Ruth 3 >
1 And she lodged with her mother-in-law: and Noemin her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
Kèk tan apre sa, Naomi di Rit konsa: -Pa pito m' chache yon mari pou ou, pou ou ka viv ak kè poze lakay ou?
2 And now [is] not Booz our kinsman, with whose damsels thou wast? behold, he winnows barley this night in the floor.
Ou chonje Bòz, pa vre? Mèt jaden kote ou te ye ansanm ak medam yo? Bon! Ou chonje mwen te di ou se yon fanmi pre nou li ye! Bon. Koute! Aswè a, yo pral vannen lòj yo fin bat yo.
3 But do thou wash, and anoint thyself, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go up to the threshing-floor: do not discover thyself to the man until he has done eating and drinking.
Al benyen. Mete odè sou ou, mete pi bèl rad ou sou ou. Epi ale bò glasi a, kote y'ap vannen an. Men, pa kite Bòz konnen ou la. W'a tann li fin manje, li fin bwè diven anvan.
4 And it shall come to pass when he lies down, that thou shalt mark the place where he lies down, and shalt come and lift up the covering of his feet, and shalt lie down; and he shall tell thee what thou shalt do.
Lè sa a, w'a gade byen kote li al kouche. Lè w'a wè dòmi pran l', ou va ale, w'a leve pwent dra ki kouvri pye l' yo, epi w'a kouche kouche ou la, bò kote l'. Li menm l'a di ou sa pou ou fè apre sa.
5 And Ruth said to her, All that thou shalt say, I will do.
Rit reponn li: -M'a fè tou sa ou di m' fè.
6 And she went down to the threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law enjoined her.
Se konsa Rit leve vre, li ale bò glasi a, li fè sa bèlmè li te di l' fè a.
7 And Booz ate and drank, and his heart was glad, and he came to lie down by the side of the heap of corn; and she came secretly, and lifted up the covering of his feet.
Lè Bòz fin manje, lè li fin bwè diven, kè l' te kontan. Li al kouche bò yon pil pay lòj, epi dòmi pote l' ale. Lè sa a, Rit pwoche tou dousman, li leve pwent dra ki te kouvri pye l' yo, epi li kouche la bò kote l'.
8 And it came to pass at midnight that the man was amazed, and troubled, and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Nan mitan lannwit, Bòz pantan nan dòmi an. Li leve, li panche, li tou sezi wè yon fanm ki te kouche nan pye l'.
9 And he said, Who art thou? and she said, I am thine handmaid Ruth; spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid, for thou art a near relation.
Li mande: -Ki moun sa? Rit reponn li: -Se mwen menm, Rit. Ou se yon fanmi pre nou. Se ou ki reskonsab pou pran swen mwen. Mwen vin jwenn ou.
10 And Booz said, Blessed [be] thou of the Lord God, [my] daughter, for thou hast made thy latter kindness greater than the former, in that thou followest not after young men, whether [any be] poor or rich.
Bòz di l' konsa: -benediksyon Seyè a avè ou, mafi! Sa w'ap fè la a pi konsekan pase tou sa ou te fè pou bèlmè ou la. Sa moutre ou pa soti pou ou lage fanmi an. Ou ta gen dwa al dèyè nenpòt ki jenn gason, rich osinon pòv, pou marye avè ou, men ou pa fè l'.
11 And now fear not, my daughter, whatever thou shalt say I will do to thee; for all the tribe of my people knows that thou art a virtuous woman.
Ou pa bezwen bat kò ou, tande. M'ap fè tou sa ou mande m' fè pou ou a. Tout moun konnen ou se yon fanm total.
12 And now I am truly akin to thee; nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Se vre sa ou di a. Mwen se yon fanmi pre nou. Mwen reskonsab ou. Men, gen yon nonm ki fanmi ou pi pre pase m'.
13 Lodge [here] for the night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will do the part of a kinsman to thee, well—let him do it: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, I will do the kinsman's part to thee, [as] the Lord lives; lie down till the morning.
Ou mèt rete pase nwit lan la. Denmen maten m'a chache konnen si li vle pran reskonsablite a sou do li. Si li dakò pou li pran li, m'a byen kontan. Si li pa vle, enben, mwen fè sèman devan Bondye vivan ki nan syèl la, m'ap pran l' mwen menm. Koulye a, rete kouche la jouk denmen maten.
14 And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before a man could know his neighbour; and Booz said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
Se konsa Rit kouche la nan pye l'. Men, anvan bajou kase, li leve pou moun pa wè l', paske Bòz pa t' vle pesonn konnen li te la.
15 And he said to her, Bring the apron that is upon thee: and she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and put them upon her, and she went into the city.
Bòz di l' konsa: -Wete dra ki vlope ou la, louvri l' atè a. Rit louvri dra a atè. Bòz vide dis mamit lòj konsa ladan l'. Li mare l', epi li ede l' mete l' sou tèt li. Apre sa, Rit tounen lavil ak pakèt la.
16 And Ruth went in to her mother-in-law, and she said to her, [My] daughter! and [Ruth] told her all that the man had done to her.
Lè li rive lakay li, bèlmè a mande l': -Enben, mafi! Ki jan sa pase? Rit tanmen rakonte l' tou sa Bòz fè pou li.
17 And she said to her, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother-in-law.
Epi li di: -Anvan m' ale, li di m' konsa ou pa ka tounen san anyen. Se konsa, li ban m' dis mamit lòj sa yo.
18 And she said, Sit still, [my] daughter, until thou shalt know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.
Naomi di l': -Koulye a, Rit mafi, poze kò ou tann pou ou wè jan sa pral pase. Bòz p'ap bay kò l' kanpo jòdi a, tout tan li pa regle zafè sa a.
