Ruth 3
1 After she was returned to her mother in law, Noemi said to her: My daughter, I will seek rest for thee, and will provide that it may be well with thee.
To pacoengah Naomi mah anih khaeah, Ka canu, kamongah na oh thai hanah, nang han im pakrong nahaeloe hoih mak ai maw?
2 This Booz, with whose maids thou wast joined in the field, is our near kinsman, and behold this night he winnoweth barley in the threshingfloor.
Nang hoi nawnto kaom nongpatanawk ih angraeng, Boaz loe aicae ih canawk ah om ai maw? Khenah, vaiduem ah cang atithaih ahmuen ah anih loe barli cang to atii tih.
3 Wash thyself therefore and anoint thee, and put on thy best garments, and go down to the barnfloor: but let not the man see thee, till he shall have done eating and drinking.
Tui amthluh loe hmuihoih angnok pacoengah, khukbuen kahoih angkhuk ah; to pacongah cang atithaih ahmuen ah caeh tathuk ah, toe anih buh aan caak pacoeng ai karoek to, nang to ah na oh, tito anih mah panoek hmah nasoe.
4 And when he shall go to sleep, mark the place wherein he sleepeth: and thou shalt go in, and lift up the clothes wherewith he is covered towards his feet, and shalt lay thyself down there: and he will tell thee what thou must do.
Anih loe naa ah maw iih, tito panoek ah; to pacoengah caeh loe, a khok khukhaih kahni to thlaeh pacoengah angsong pae ah; to naah anih mah na sak han koi to na thui tih hmang, tiah a naa.
5 She answered: Whatsoever thou shalt command, I will do.
Ruth mah, Nang thuih ih lok baktiah ka sak boih han, tiah a naa.
6 And she went down to the barnfloor, and did all that her mother in law had bid her.
To pongah anih loe cang atithaih ahmuen ah caeh tathuk moe, amni mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak.
7 And when Booz had eaten, and drunk, and was merry, he went to sleep by the heap of sheaves, and she came softly and uncovering his feet, laid herself down.
Boaz loe buhcaak pacoengah, poek kanawm ah cang pakhuenghaih ahmuen taengah caeh moe, angsong kawk; to naah Ruth loe amzaita hoiah caeh moe, a khok khukhaih kahni to thlaeh pacoengah, angsong.
8 And behold, when it was now midnight the man was afraid, and troubled: and he saw a woman lying at his feet,
Qum taning phak naah Boaz loe angpae moe, angqoi naah, khenah, nongpata maeto a khokkung ah angsong pae sut.
9 And he said to her: Who art thou? And she answered: I am Ruth thy handmaid: spread thy coverlet over thy servant, for thou art a near kinsman.
Nang loe mi aa? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Kai loe na tamna Ruth ni; nang loe canawk kanghnai ah na oh pongah, nangmah ih kahni to ka nuiah baih ah, tiah a naa.
10 And he said: Blessed art thou of the Lord, my daughter, and thy latter kindness has surpassed the former: because thou hast not followed young men either poor or rich.
Anih mah, Ka canu, Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih na paek nasoe; hmaloe ah na sak ih tahmenhaih pongah hnukkhuem ah na sak ih tahmenhaih to len kue; nang loe angraeng hnukah doeh, kamtang hnukah doeh, mi kawbaktih thendoeng hnukah doeh na bang ai.
11 Fear not therefore, but whatsoever thou shalt say to me I will do to thee. For all the people that dwell within the gates of my city, know that thou art a virtuous woman.
Ka canu, vaihi loe zithaih tawn hmah lai ah; nang hnik ih hmuen boih kang sak pae han; vangpui thung ih kaminawk boih mah, nang loe kakoep nongpata kami ah na oh, tiah panoek o boeh.
12 Neither do I deny myself to be near of kin, but there is another nearer than I.
Kai loe na canawk kanghnai koekah ka oh; toe kai pongah anghnai kue canawk maeto oh vop.
13 Rest thou this night: and when morning is come, if he will take thee by the right of kindred, all is well: but if he will not, I will undoubtedly take thee, as the Lord liveth: sleep till the morning.
Vaiqum loe hae ah om raeh, canawk ah oh baktih toengah khawnbangah anih mah nang akrang han koeh nahaeloe, hoih; anih mah akrang nasoe, toe anih mah ni akrang han koeh ai nahaeloe, Angraeng loe hing pongah, canawk ah kaom kai mah kang krang han hmang; khodai khoek to hae ah iip ah, tiah a naa.
14 So she slept at his feet till the night was going off. And she arose before men could know one another, and Booz said: Beware lest any man know that thou camest hither.
To pongah Ruth loe anih khokkung ah khodai khoek to iih. Toe anih loe minawk kalah mah panoek ai naah angthawk. Boaz mah, cang atithaih ahmuen ah nongpata maeto angzoh, tiah mi doeh panoeksak hmah, tiah a naa.
15 And again he said: Spread thy mantle, wherewith thou art covered, and hold it with both hands. And when she spread it and held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it upon her. And she carried it and went into the city,
To pacoengah anih mah, Nang khuk ih kahni to baih ah loe patawn ah, tiah a naa. Nongpata mah kahni to a patawnh naah, anih mah cang phawh noekhaih kalen tarukto tah pae moe, Ruth hanah phawhsak; to pacoengah anih loe vangpui ah amlaem let.
16 And came to her mother in law; who said to her: What hast thou done, daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
Ruth mah amni khae phak naah, Naomi mah, Ka canu, kawbangmaw na oh? tiah a dueng. To naah Boaz mah a nuiah sak ih hmuen kawng to Ruth mah thuih pae boih.
17 And she said: Behold he hath given me six measures of barley: for he said: I will not have thee return empty to thy mother in law.
Ruth mah kalen cang noekhaih hoiah barli cang tarukto ang paek, nam ni im ah bangkrai ah amlaem hmah, tiah ang naa, tiah a thuih pae.
18 And Noemi said: Wait my daughter, till we see what end the thing will have. For the man will not rest until he have accomplished what he hath said.
To naah Naomi mah, Ka canu, kawbangmaw hmuen hae oh boeh, tiah na panoek ai karoek to, zing raeh. Anih loe to hmuen kawng thuih pacoeng ai karoek to omduem mak ai, tiah a naa.
