Ruth 2
1 But there was a man related to Elimelech, a powerful man, and very wealthy, named Boaz.
Alò Naomi te gen yon fanmi pwòch a mari li, yon nonm avèk anpil richès, ki sòti nan fanmi Élimélec, ki te rele Boaz.
2 And Ruth, the Moabite, said to her mother-in-law, “If you order, I will go into the field and gather the ears of grain which escape the reaping hand, wherever I will find favor with the father of a family, who will be compassionate to me.” She answered her, “Go, my daughter.”
Ruth, Moabit la te di a Naomi: “Souple, kite mwen ale ranmase lòj pami tèt sereyal yo nan chan a sila ke mwen kapab twouve favè nan zye li.” Epi li te di l: “Ale fi mwen.”
3 And so she went and gathered the ears of grain after the completion of the reaping. But it happened that this field was owned by Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
Konsa, li te sòti pou te ale ranmase nan chan an apre moun rekòlt yo. Epi li te vin rive nan pòsyon chan ki te pou Boaz la, ki te manm fanmi Élimélec la.
4 And behold, he came out of Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “The Lord be with you.” They answered him, “May the Lord bless you.”
Alò vwala, Boaz te sòti Bethléhem pou te di a moun rekòlt yo: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab avèk nou.” Epi yo te di li: “Ke SENYÈ a beni nou.”
5 And Boaz said to the young man who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”
Konsa, Boaz te di a sèvitè li ki te an chaj moun rekòlt yo: “Pou kilès jenn fanm sila a?”
6 He answered him, “This is the Moabite woman, who came with Naomi, from the land of the Moabites,
Sèvitè an chaj la te reponn: “Se jenn fanm Moabit ki te retounen avèk Naomi soti nan peyi Moab la.
7 and she asked to gather the remnants of the ears of grain, following the steps of the reapers, and from morning until now she has remained in the field, and, indeed, not for one moment has she returned home.”
Li te di nou: ‘Souple, kite mwen ranmase e sanble apre moun rekòlt yo pami pakèt mwasonyè yo.’ Konsa, li te vini e te rete soti nan maten a jis rive koulye a, sòf ke li te chita nan kay la pou yon ti tan.”
8 And Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen to me, daughter. Do not go to gather in any other field, nor depart from this place, but join with my young women,
Alò, Boaz te di a Ruth: “Koute byen fi mwen! Pa ale ranmase nan chan lòt moun. Anplis, pa kite chan sila a, men rete isit la avèk sèvant mwen yo.
9 and follow where they reap. For I have given orders to my young men, so that no one is to harass you. And so, whenever you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from the waters that the young men also drink.”
Kite zye ou rete sou chan ke yo rekòlte a e swiv yo. Vrèman, mwen te kòmande sèvitè mwen yo pou pa touche ou. Lè ou swaf, ale nan veso dlo yo pou bwè nan sa ke sèvitè yo rale.”
10 She, falling on her face and paying homage on the ground, said to him: “How did this happen to me, that I should find favor before your eyes, and that you would condescend to accept me, a foreign woman?”
Alò, li te tonbe sou figi li e te bese ba atè. Li te di l: “Poukisa mwen jwenn favè nan zye w konsa, pou ou ta wè m, paske se yon etranje ke mwen ye?”
11 He answered her, “Everything has been reported to me, what things you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband, and how you left your parents, and the land in which you were born, and came to a people you did not know before.
Boaz te reponn li: “Tout sa ke ou te fè pou bèlmè ou apre lanmò mari ou te deklare nèt a mwen menm; jan ou te kite papa ou avèk manman ou, peyi nesans ou e te vini a yon pèp ke ou pa t menm konnen oparavan.
12 May the Lord repay you for your work, and may you receive a full reward from the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you have come, and under whose wings you have taken refuge.”
Ke SENYÈ a kapab bay ou rekonpans pou travay sa a, e ke salè ou ki sòti nan SENYÈ a vin plen nèt; Li menm Bondye a Israël la, anba zèl a sila ou te vini mande refij la.”
13 She said, “I have found favor before your eyes, my lord, who has consoled me, and you have spoken to the heart of your handmaid, who is unlike one of your young women.”
Epi li te di: “Kite mwen jwenn favè nan zye ou, patwon mwen, paske ou te fè m jwenn konfò e vrèman te pale pawòl emab anvè sèvant ou, malgre mwen pa youn nan sèvant ou yo.”
14 And Boaz said to her, “When mealtime begins, come here, and eat bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” And so she sat beside the reapers, and she piled up parched grain for herself, and she ate and was satisfied, and carried off the leftovers.
Nan lè manje a, Boaz te di li: “Vin isit la, pou ou kapab manje nan pen an e fonse mòso pen ou an nan vinèg la.” Konsa li te chita akote moun rekòlt yo. Li te sèvi li sereyal boukannen; li te manje, te satisfè, epi te gen rès ki rete.
15 And then she arose from there, so as to gather the ears of grain, according to the custom. But Boaz commanded his servants, saying, “If she is even willing to reap with you, do not prevent her,
Lè li te leve pou ale ranmase, Boaz te kòmande sèvitè li yo. Li te di: “Kite li ranmase menm pami pakèt yo, pa bay li pwoblèm.
16 and purposely let fall some from your bundles, and allow them to remain, so that she may gather without blushing, and let no one rebuke her gathering.”
Anplis, nou va rale kèk nan pakèt yo eksprè e kite li la pou li kapab ranmase e pa repwoche l.”
17 And so she gathered in the field until evening. And striking and threshing with a staff what she had gathered, she found about the measure of an ephah of barley, that is, three measures.
Konsa Ruth te ranmase nan chan an jis rive nan aswè. Lè li te bat sa li te ranmase yo, li te anviwon yon efa lòj.
18 Carrying this, she returned into the city and showed it to her mother-in-law. Moreover, she offered it to her and even gave her the leftovers of her food, with which she had been satisfied.
Li te pran li e te lantre nan vil la pou bèlmè li te wè sa ke li te ranmase yo. Li anplis te rale bay Naomi sa ki te rete lè li menm te fin satisfè.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gathered today, and where have you found work? Blessed is he who took pity on you!” And she informed her with whom she had been working, and she said the man’s name, that he was called Boaz.
Bèlmè li te di li: “Kote ou te ranmase jodi a e kibò ou te travay? Pou sila ki te pran enterè nan ou yo kapab beni!” Konsa, li te di bèlmè li avèk ki moun li te travay, epi te di: “Non a mesye a avèk sila mwen te travay jodi a te Boaz.”
20 Naomi answered her, “May he be blessed by the Lord, because the same kindness which he provided for the living, he also kept for the dead.” And again she said: “This man is our near relative.”
Naomi te di bèlfi li: “Ke li menm kapab beni pa SENYÈ a ki pa t retire mizerikòd li sou vivan yo ak sou mò yo.” Ankò, Naomi te di a li: “Nonm nan se fanmi nou, li se youn nan fanmi pwòch nou yo.”
21 And Ruth said, “He charged me with this also, that from now on I should join with his reapers until all the crop has been reaped.”
Alò Ruth Moabit la te di, “Anplis, li te di mwen: ‘Ou dwe rete pre sèvitè mwen yo jiskaske yo fin fè rekòlt mwen.’”
22 And her mother-in-law said to her, “It is better, my daughter, to go out reaping with his young women, lest in a stranger’s field someone may confront you.”
Naomi te di a Ruth, bèlfi li a: “Sa bon pitit mwen pou ou sòti avèk sèvant li yo, pou kèk lòt moun pa vin tonbe sou ou nan yon lòt chan.”
23 And so, she joined with the young women of Boaz, and from then on reaped with them, until the barley and the wheat were stored in the barns.
Konsa li te rete pre sèvant Boaz yo pou ranmase jiska fen rekòlt lòj la avèk ble a. Epi li te rete lakay bèlmè li.
