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.
Ní ọjọ́ kan, Naomi, ìyá ọkọ Rutu wí fún un pé, “Ọmọbìnrin mi, ǹjẹ́ kò yẹ kí èmi bá ọ wá ilé ọkọ mìíràn, níbi tí wọn yóò ti le è máa tọ́jú rẹ?
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.
Wò ó, Boasi ọkùnrin nì tí ìwọ bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ ṣiṣẹ́, tí í ṣe ìbátan wa, yóò wá láti fẹ́ ọkà barle ní ilẹ̀ ìpakà rẹ̀ ní àṣálẹ́ yìí.
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.
Wẹ̀, kí o sì fi ìpara olóòórùn dídùn pa ara rẹ, kí o sì wọ aṣọ rẹ tí ó dára jùlọ, kí o sì lọ sí ilẹ̀ ìpakà tí ó gbé ń pa ọkà, ṣùgbọ́n má ṣe jẹ́ kí ó mọ̀ pé o wà níbẹ̀ títí tí yóò fi jẹ tí yóò sì mu tán.
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.
Rí í dájú pé o mọ ibi tí ó sùn sí, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó bá ti sùn, lọ kí o ṣí aṣọ ìbora rẹ̀ níbi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ sókè kí o sì sùn sí ibi ẹsẹ̀ náà. Òun yóò sì sọ ohun tí ìwọ yóò ṣe fún ọ.”
5 She answered: Whatsoever thou shalt command, I will do.
Rutu sì fèsì pé, “Gbogbo ohun tí ìwọ sọ fún mi ni èmi yóò ṣe.”
6 And she went down to the barnfloor, and did all that her mother in law had bid her.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Rutu lọ sí ilẹ̀ ìpakà tí ó sì ṣe gbogbo ohun tí ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀ sọ fún un, pé kí o ṣe.
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.
Nígbà tí Boasi parí jíjẹ àti mímu tán, tí ọkàn rẹ̀ sì kún fún ayọ̀. Ó lọ, ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ ní ẹ̀yìn ọkà tí wọ́n kójọ. Rutu yọ́ kẹ́lẹ́kẹ́lẹ́ lọ sí ibẹ̀, ó ṣí aṣọ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ sókè, ó sì sùn sí ibi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
8 And behold, when it was now midnight the man was afraid, and troubled: and he saw a woman lying at his feet,
Ó sì ṣe nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà tají ní àárín òru, ẹ̀rù bà á, ó sì yí ara padà, ó sì ṣàkíyèsí obìnrin kan tí ó sùn sí ibi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Ó sì béèrè pé, “Ta ni ìwọ í ṣe?” Rutu sì fèsì wí pé, “Èmi ni Rutu, ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ. Da etí aṣọ rẹ bò mí, nítorí pé ìwọ ni ìbátan tí ó le è rà mí padà.”
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.
Boasi sì wí fún un pé, “Kí Olúwa bùkún fún ọ, ọmọbìnrin mi. Ìfẹ́ tí o fihàn yí ti pọ̀ ju ti àtẹ̀yìnwá lọ, bí ó ti jẹ́ wí pé ìwọ kò lọ láti wá àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin bóyá ọlọ́rọ̀ tàbí tálákà.
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.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ìwọ ọmọbìnrin mi, má bẹ̀rù. Èmi yóò sì ṣe ohun gbogbo tí o béèrè fún ọ. Gbogbo ènìyàn ni ó mọ̀ ọ́n ní obìnrin oníwà rere.
12 Neither do I deny myself to be near of kin, but there is another nearer than I.
Nítòótọ́ ni mo wí pé èmi jẹ́ ìbátan tí ó súnmọ́ ọ, ṣùgbọ́n ìbátan kan wà tí ó súnmọ́ ọ ju ti tèmi lọ.
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.
Dúró síbí títí ilẹ̀ yóò fi mọ́, bí ó bá sì di òwúrọ̀ tí ọkùnrin náà sì ṣe tan láti ṣe ìràpadà, ó dára kí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè nígbà náà ni èmi yóò ṣe ìràpadà, sùn sí ìhín títí ilẹ̀ yóò fi mọ́.”
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.
Ó sì sùn ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ títí di òwúrọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó dìde ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù kí ẹnìkínní tó le è dá ẹnìkejì mọ̀. Boasi sì sọ fún un wí pé, “Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ó di mí mọ̀ wí pé obìnrin kan wá sí ilẹ̀ ìpakà.”
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,
Ó sì tún wí fún un pé, “Mú aṣọ ìborùn rẹ tí o dà bora, kí o tẹ̀ ẹ sílẹ̀.” Rutu sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, Boasi sì wọn òsùwọ̀n ọkà barle mẹ́fà sí i, ó sì gbé e rù ú. Nígbà náà ni ó padà sí ìlú.
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.
Nígbà tí Rutu dé ilé Naomi ìyá ọkọ sì bí léèrè pé, “Báwo ni ó ti rí ọmọbìnrin mi?” Nígbà náà ni ó sì sọ gbogbo ohun tí ọkùnrin náà ṣe fún un fún ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀.
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.
Ó fi kún un wí pé, “Ó sọ fún mi wí pé, ‘Má ṣe padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ìyá ọkọ rẹ ní ọwọ́ òfo, nítorí náà, ó fún mi ní ìwọ̀n ọkà barle mẹ́fà.’”
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.
Naomi sì wí fún un pé, “Dúró, ọmọbìnrin mi títí tí ìwọ yóò fi mọ bí ohun gbogbo yóò ti rí, nítorí pé ọkùnrin náà kò ní sinmi títí tí ọ̀rọ̀ náà yóò fi yanjú lónìí.”
