Ruth 2
1 Now her husband Elimelech had a kinsman, a powerful man, and very rich, whose name was Booz.
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 Moabitess said to her mother in law: If thou wilt, I will go into the field, and glean the ears of corn that escape the hands of the reapers, wheresoever I shall find grace with a householder that will be favourable to me. And 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 She went therefore and gleaned the ears of corn after the reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, 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. And they answered him: The Lord bless thee.
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 Booz said to the young man that was set over the reapers: Whose maid is this?
Konsa, Boaz te di a sèvitè li ki te an chaj moun rekòlt yo: “Pou kilès jenn fanm sila a?”
6 And he answered him: This is the Moabitess who came with Noemi, from the land of Moab,
Sèvitè an chaj la te reponn: “Se jenn fanm Moabit ki te retounen avèk Naomi soti nan peyi Moab la.
7 And she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain, following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment.
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 Booz said to Ruth: Hear me, daughter, do not go to glean in any other field, and do not depart from this place: but keep with my maids,
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 charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants 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 fell on her face and worshipping upon the ground, said to him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes, and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me a woman of another country?
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 And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
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 The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayest thou receive a full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and under whose wings thou art fled.
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 And she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast comforted me and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not like to one of thy maids.
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 Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings.
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 she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not:
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 let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them.
Anplis, nou va rale kèk nan pakèt yo eksprè e kite li la pou li kapab ranmase e pa repwoche l.”
17 She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels:
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 Which she took up and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled.
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 hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man’s name, that he was called Booz.
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 And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the dead. And again she said: The man is our kinsman.
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 also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be 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 for thee, my daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man’s field some one may resist thee.
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 So she kept close to the maids of Booz: and continued to glean with them, till all the barley and the wheat were laid up 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.
