Ruth 3
1 But afterwards, when she returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi said to her: “My daughter, I will seek rest for you, and I will provide so that it may be well with you.
A LAILA, olelo mai o Naomi kona makuahonowaiwahine, E kuu kaikamahine, aole anei au e imi i wahi e hoomaha ai nou, i mea e pomaikai ai oe?
2 This Boaz, whose young women you joined in the field, is our near relative, and this night he will winnow the threshing floor of barley.
Aole anei no ko kakou hoahanau o Boaza, nona na kaikamahine au i noho pu ai? Aia hoi ke kanana nei ia i ka huabale i keia po ma ke kahua hahi.
3 Therefore, wash and anoint yourself, and put on your decorative garments, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not let the man see you, while he finishes eating and drinking.
Nolaila ea, e holoi oe ia oe iho, a e hamo hoi, a e hookomo i kou lole, a e iho oe ilalo i ke kahua; a mai hoike aku oe ia oe iho i ua kanaka la, a pau kana ai ana, a me kana inu ana.
4 But when he goes to sleep, observe the place where he sleeps. And you will approach and lift up the covering, the part which covers near his feet, and lay yourself down, and sleep there; but he will tell you what you are obliged to do.”
Eia hoi kekahi; i ka manawa ana e moe ai, e nana pono oe i kona wahi e moe ana, a e komo aku oe, a e wehe i kona mau kapuwai, a moe iho, a nana no e hai mai ia oe i ka mea au e hana'i.
5 She answered, “I will do everything as you have instructed.”
I aku la keia ia ia, O na mea a pau au e kauoha mai nei, e hana no au.
6 And she went down to the threshing floor, and she did everything that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
Iho aku la oia ilalo i ke kahua, a hana iho la e like me na mea a pau a kona makuahonowaiwahine i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
7 And when Boaz had finished eating and drinking, and he was merry, and he had gone to sleep by the pile of sheaves, she approached secretly, and, lifting the covering near his feet, she laid herself down.
A ai o Boaza, a inu, a olioli kona naau, alaila, hele aku la ia e moe ma ka welau a ka puu ai; a hele malie mai la ia, a wehe iho la i kona mau kapuwai, a moe iho la.
8 And behold, when it was the middle of the night, the man became frightened and confused, and he saw a woman lying near his feet.
A hiki i ke aumoe, makau iho la ua kanaka la, no ka mea, i kona oni ana, aia hoi he wahine, e moe ana ma kona mau kapuwai.
9 And he said to her, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth, your handmaid. Spread your covering over your servant, for you are a near relative.”
I mai la ia, Owai oe? I mai la kela, o Ruta wau, o kau kauwawahine, nolaila ea, e halii mai i kou kapa maluna o kau kauwawahine, no ka mea, o oe no kekahi mea i pili koko.
10 And he said, “You are blessed by the Lord, daughter, and you have excelled beyond your earlier benevolence, because you have not followed young men, whether poor or rich.
I mai la ia, E pomaikai ana oe ia Iehova, e kuu kaikamahine e; no ka mea, ua oi aku kou lokomaikai hope, i ko ka mua, i kou hahai ole ana mahope o na kanaka ui, aole i ka mea hune, aole hoi i ka mea waiwai.
11 Therefore, do not be afraid, but whatever you decide about me, I will accomplish for you. For all the people, who dwell within the gates of my city, know that you are a virtuous woman.
Nolaila ea, mai makau oe, e kuu kaikamahine. O na mea a pau au e olelo mai la, na'u ia e hana aku ia oe; no ka mea, ua ike ko'u poe kanaka a pau, he kaikamahine pono oe.
12 Neither do I deny myself to be a near relative, but there is another nearer than I.
He oiaio no, owau ka hoahanau pili ia oe. Eia ae kekahi mea i pili mua aku, he hope au.
13 Be at peace for this night. And when morning arrives, if he is willing to uphold the law of kinship for you, things will turn out well; but if he is not willing, then, I will take you, without any doubt, as the Lord lives. Sleep until morning.”
I keia po e kakali ai a kakahiaka, alaila, ina nana oe e mare, ua pono, e mare no ia; aka, ina aole ia e makemake e mare mai ia oe, ma ke ola ana o Iehova, na'u oe e mare. E moe oe a kakahiaka.
14 And so she slept by his feet until the night was ending. And she arose before men could inquire of one another. And Boaz said, “Be careful, lest someone know that you came here.”
Moe iho la oia ma kona mau kapuwai a kakahiaka. A ala mai la ia mamua o ka wa e hiki ai kekahi ke hoomaopopo i kona hoa. I ae la ia, Mai hai aku i ka hele ana mai o ka wahine i ke kahua hahi.
15 And again he said, “Spread your mantle that covers you, and hold it with both hands.” As she extended it and held it, he measured six measures of barley and placed it upon her. Carrying it, she went into the city.
I hou aku la ia, Homai ka pale maluna ou, a e paa mai ia mea. A i kona paa ana mai, ana iho la ia i eono ana huabale, a kau aku la maluna ona; a hoi aku la ia i ke kulanakauhale.
16 And she came to her mother-in-law, who said to her: “What have you been doing, daughter?” And she explained to her all that the man had accomplished for her.
A hiki aku la ia i kona makuahonowaiwahine, ninau mai la kela, Owai oe, e kuu kaikamahine? A hai aku la keia i na mea a pau a ua kanaka la i hana mai ai nana.
17 And she said, “Behold, he gave me six measures of barley, for he said, ‘I am not willing to have you return empty to your mother-in-law.’”
I aku la, O keia mau ana huabale eono kana i haawi mai ai ia'u; no ka mea, olelo mai la ia, Mai hoi nele aku oe i kou makuahonowaiwahine.
18 And Naomi said, “Wait, daughter, until we see how things will turn out. For the man will not rest until he has accomplished what he said.”
Olelo mai la ia, E noho malie oe, e kuu kaikamahine, a ike pono oe i ka hope o keia; no ka mea, aole loa e noho hoomaha kela kanaka, a hoopau pono oia ia mea, i keia la.
