Ruth 2
1 Now her husband Elimelech had a kinsman, a powerful man, and very rich, whose name was Booz.
Naaʼomiin balbala Eliimelek keessaa fira dhirsa ishee namicha sooressa Boʼeez jedhamu tokko qabdi turte.
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.
Ruut Moʼaabittiinis Naaʼomiiniin, “Ani nama fuula isaa duratti fudhatama argadhu duubaan qarmii funaannachuuf gara lafa qotiisaatti achi nan baʼa” jette. Naaʼomiinis, “Yaa intala koo dhaqi” jetteen.
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.
Kanaafuu isheen gara lafa qotiisaa dhaqxee warra midhaan haaman duubaan qarmii funaannachuu jalqabde. Isheen utuma qarmii funaannachaa jirtuu akka lafti qotiisaa isheen keessa jirtu sun kan Boʼeez taʼe hubatte; Boʼeez kunis sanyii Eliimelek ture.
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.
Yeruma sanatti Boʼeez Beetlihemii dhufee warra midhaan haamaniin, “Waaqayyo isin wajjin haa taʼu!” jedhee nagaa isaan gaafate. Isaanis deebisanii, “Waaqayyo si haa eebbisu!” jedhaniin.
5 And Booz said to the young man that was set over the reapers: Whose maid is this?
Boʼeezis dura buʼaa hojjettoota isaatiin, “Intalli kun kan eenyuu ti?” jedhee gaafate.
6 And he answered him: This is the Moabitess who came with Noemi, from the land of Moab,
Dura buʼaan sunis akkana jedhee deebise; “Isheen nama Moʼaab; Naaʼomiin wajjin biyya Moʼaabii dhufte.
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.
Isheenis, ‘Maaloo akka ani hojjettoota duubaan bissii gidduudhaan qarmii funaannadhu naa eeyyami’ jette. Isheen yeroo xinnoof gaaddisa jala boqotte malee ganamaa jalqabdee hamma ammaatti jabaattee hojjechaa turte.”
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,
Kana irratti Boʼeez Ruutiin akkana jedhe; “Yaa intala koo na dhagaʼi. Gara lafa qotiisaa biraa dhaqxee qarmii hin funaanin; iddoo kanaas hin deemin. Asuma hojjettoota koo dubarran wajjin turi.
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.
Lafa qotiisaa warri dhiiraa keessaa haaman ilaaliitii dubarran duukaa buʼi. Akka isaan siʼi hin tuqne ani warra dhiiraatti himeera. Yeroo dheebottus qodaa bishaanii dhiironni guutan keessaa budduuqsii dhugi.”
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?
Kana irrattis isheen addaan lafatti gombifamtee, “Ani utuu nama biyya ormaa taʼee jiruu fuula kee duratti surraa argadhee ati na arguun kee kun maaliifi?” jettee isa gaafatte.
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.
Boʼeez immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Waan ati erga dhirsi kee duʼee jalqabee haadha dhirsa keetiitiif goote hundumaa, akka ati itti abbaa kee, haadha keetii fi biyya kee dhiiftee saba kanaan dura hin beekin wajjin jiraachuudhaaf dhuftes dhagaʼeera.
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.
Waaqayyo waan ati goote hundaaf gatii kee siif haa deebisu. Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel kan ati qoochoo isaa jalatti baqachuudhaaf dhufte sun baayʼisee siif haa deebisu.”
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.
Isheenis akkana jette; “Yaa gooftaa ko, ani yoo akka hojjettoota kee dubarran keessaa akka ishee tokkootti madaalamuu baadhe illee sababii ati na jajjabeessitee gara laafinaan ana garbittii keetti dubbatteef ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadheera.”
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.
Boʼeezis yeroo laaqanaatti, “As kottu. Buddeenas fudhadhuutii wayinii dhangaggaaʼaatti cuuphadhu” jedheen. Yeroo isheen hojjettoota wajjin teessettis asheetii waadame kenneef. Isheenis nyaattee quuftee xinnoon irraa hafeef.
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:
Akkuma isheen qarmii funaannachuuf ol kaateenis Boʼeez akkana jedhee hojjettoota isaa ajaje; “Yoo isheen bissii gidduudhaa illee qarmii funaannatte ishee hin rifachiisinaa.
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.
Qooda kanaa bissii keessaa tokko tokko luqqisaatii akka isheen funaannatuuf lafa bubuusaafii malee isheetti hin dheekkaminaa.”
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:
Kanaafuu Ruut hamma galgalaatti lafa qotiisaa keessaa funaannatte. Garbuu funaannatte sanas ni sukkuumatte; innis gara safartuu iifii tokkoo taʼe.
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.
Isheenis garbuu sana baadhattee magaalaatti deebite; haati dhirsa ishees wanni isheen funaannatte hammam akka taʼe argite. Akkasumas Ruut waan guyyaa nyaattee quuftee ishee irraa hafe sana gad baaftee kenniteef.
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.
Haati dhirsa ishees, “Ati harʼa eessaa funaannatte? Eessa hojjechaa oolte? Namni xiyyeeffannoo kana siif kenne sun haa eebbifamu!” jette. Ergasiis Ruut waaʼee namicha lafa qotiisaa isaa keessaa funaannachaa oolte sanaa haadha dhirsa isheetti himte. Isheenis, “Maqaan namicha ani harʼa bira hojjechaa oole sanaa Boʼeez jedhama” jette.
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.
Naaʼomiinis, “Waaqayyo inni warra jiraniifis warra duʼaniifis gara laafina gochuu hin dhiifne sun isa haa eebbisu!” jette. Itti dabaluudhaanis, “Inni fira keenya kan dhiʼoo ti; warra nu dhaaluun irra jiru keessaas isa tokkoo dha” isheedhaan jette.
21 And Ruth said, He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped.
Ergasiis Ruut Moʼaabittiin, “Inni, ‘Hamma isaan midhaan koo hunda walitti qabanii fixanitti iyyuu hojjettoota koo wajjin turi’ naan jedheera” jetteen.
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.
Naaʼomiinis niitii ilma ishee Ruutiin, “Yaa intala ko, dubarran isaa wajjin ooluun siif gaarii dha; ati yoo gara lafa qotiisaa nama biraa deemte, miidhaan sirra gaʼuu dandaʼaatii” jette.
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.
Kanaafuu Ruut hamma garbuu fi qamadiin haamamee dhumutti tajaajiltoota Boʼeez dubarran wajjin turte. Haadha dhirsa ishee wajjinis jiraatte.
