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 you, that it may be well with you?
Ruth te a mani Naomi loh, “Ka canu aw, nang ham ngolbuel khaw ka tlap mapawt a? te ni nang ham a voelphoeng eh.
2 And now [is] not Booz our kinsman, with whose damsels you were? behold, he winnows barley this night in the floor.
A lopai na balak puei Boaz te mah kah huiko moenih a? Anih te khoyin ah cangtilhmuen kah cangtun a cop lah ko te.
3 But do you wash, and anoint yourself, and put your raiment upon you, and go up to the threshing floor: do not discover yourself to the man until he has done eating and drinking.
Te dongah sil uh lamtah situi hluk. Te phoeiah na himbai te na pum dongah bai lamtah cangtilhmuen la suntla thuk. A caak a ok a coeng duela hlang taengah moe boeh.
4 And it shall come to pass when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he lies down, and shall come and lift up the covering of his feet, and shall lie down; and he shall tell you what you shall do.
Tedae a yalh tue om bitni. Te vaengah a yalh nah hmuen te phatuem lamtah pahoi paan. Te phoeiah a kho te khawn pah lamtah yalh pah. Te vaengah na saii ham te amah loh nang taengah a thui bitni,” a ti nah.
5 And Ruth said to her, All that you shall say, I will do.
Te dongah amani te, “Kai taengah na thui boeih te saii bitni,” a ti nah.
6 And she went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law enjoined her.
Te dongah cangtilhmuen la suntla tih a mani loh anih a uen bangla boeih a saii.
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.
Boaz khaw a caak a ok tih a lungbuei a voelphoeng nen tah yalh hamla canghlom hmatoeng te a paan. Te vaengah a muel la a paan tih a kho a khawn pah phoeiah a yalh pah.
8 And it came to pass at midnight that the man was amazed, and troubled, and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Khoyin boengli ah tah tongpa te lakueng tih a hoi uh hatah a kho taengah huta tarha ana yalh pah.
9 And he said, Who are you? and she said, I am your handmaid Ruth; spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid, for you are a near relation.
Te dongah, “Nang ulae?” a ti nah hatah, “Na salnu kai, Ruth ni, nan tlan coeng dongah na salnu he na himbai hmoi neh aka ng'khuk thil laeh,” a ti nah.
10 And Booz said, Blessed [be] you of the Lord God, [my] daughter, for you have made your latter kindness greater than the former, in that you follow not after young men, whether [any be] poor or rich.
Te dongah, “Ka canu, BOEIPA dongah na yoethen coeng. Hlanglen mai khaw, tattloel mai cakhaw tongpang hnukah na caeh pawt dongah lamhma kah lakah a hnuk lam ni na sitlohnah neh na voelphoeng pueng.
11 And now fear not, my daughter, whatever you shall say I will do to you; for all the tribe of my people knows that you are a virtuous woman.
Te dongah ka canu na hoe boeih te rhih boeh, nang tah tatthai nu tila ka pilnam kah vongka tom m'ming coeng dongah nang ham kan saii bitni.
12 And now I am truly akin to you; nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Kai loh kan tlan ham khaw tueng ngawn coeng dae aka tlan ham te kai lakah aka yoei rhep om pueng.
13 Lodge [here] for the night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will do the part of a kinsman to you, well—let him do it: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to you, I will do the kinsman's part to you, [as] the Lord lives; lie down till the morning.
Khoyin ah rhaeh lamtah mincang ah ni nang aka tlan te a om atah a then la n'tlan saeh. Tedae nang te tlan ham a ngaih pawt atah BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah nang te kamah loh kan tlan bitni, mincang duela yalh mai dae,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah mincang duela a kho tang, a kho tang ah a yalh pah. Tedae a hui te kah hlang a hmat hlan ah vawl thoo coeng. Te vaengah Boaz longtah, “Cangtilhmuen huta ha pawk he a ming uh moenih,” a ti.
15 And he said to her, Bring the apron that is upon you: and she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and put them upon her, and she went into the city.
Te vaengah, “Na pum dongkah te himbai hang khuen lamtah duen lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah himbai te a tuuk doela cangtun khoi rhuk a loeng pah phoeiah Ruth a phueih sak tih kho khuila cet.
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.
A mani taengla a pawk vaengah, “Ka canu nang u taengah lae na caeh,” a ti nah hatah Hlang loh anih ham a saii pah te boeih a thui.
17 And she said to her, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Go not empty to your mother-in-law.
Te dongah, “Cangtun khoi rhuk he kai ham ham poep tih, 'Na mani te kuttling la paan boeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
18 And she said, Sit still, [my] daughter, until you shall know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.
Te vaengah, “Ka canu tihnin kah olka he a khah uh hlan atah hlang te mong mahpawh, metlamlae olka a dip eh tite na ming duela ngol,” a ti nah.
