< Ruth 2 >
1 Now Naomi had a relative on her husband's side whose name was Boaz. He was a rich and influential man from the family of Elimelech.
Naomi e a vâ Elimelek e a miphun dawkvah a tha kaawm ni teh ka tawnta poung e a pawiya buet touh ao. Ahnie min teh Boaz doeh.
2 Soon after Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the fields and pick up grain that's been left behind—if I can find someone will give me permission.” “Yes, go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied.
Moab ton, Ruth niyah kai teh laikawk koe ka cei vaiteh ka lung ni a youk e hnukkâbang vaiteh cavui a pâhma awh e ka rakhun han telah Naomi koe a kâhei. Naomi ni ka canu cet khe atipouh.
3 So she went and picked up grain the reapers had left behind. She happened to be working in a field that belonged to Boaz, a relative of Elimelech.
Ruth ni cang ka a naw e a hnukkhu a cei teh cavui a pâhma awh e a rakhun navah, Elimelek e a miphun Boaz e laikawk dawk pouk laipalah a pha.
4 Later on Boaz arrived from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the Lord be with you!” They replied, “The Lord bless you!”
Hatnavah, Boaz ni Bethlehem kho lahoi ka tho e nangmouh koe Cathut teh cungtalah awm naseh telah cang ka a naw hanelah atipouh navah, ahnimouh ni nama haiyah Yungyoe Cathut ni yawhawinae na poe naseh ati a pouh awh.
5 Then Boaz asked his servant who was in charge of the harvesters, “Who is this young woman related to?”
Boaz ni hai hote napuica teh api hoi maw a kâkuet telah laikawk dawk kâ katawnkung koe a pacei navah,
6 “The young woman is a Moabite who came back with Naomi from Moab,” the servant replied.
Laikawk dawk kâ katawnkung ni Moab kho lahoi Naomi hoi rei ka tho e Moab ton doeh atipouh awh.
7 “She asked me, ‘Please may I have permission to pick up grain behind the reapers.’ So she came, and she's been working here from morning until now, except for a brief rest in the shelter.”
Ahni ni hai kai teh cang ka a naw ni a pâhma e cavui, law um e ka rakhun han, telah a kâhei teh amom hoi atu hi lawbu a kâhat ditouh a tawk toe atipouh navah,
8 Boaz went and spoke to Ruth. “Listen to me, my daughter,” he told her. “Don't leave to go and pick up grain in someone else's field. Stay close to my women.
Boaz ni Ruth hah a kaw teh thai haw ka canu alouke laikawk dawk cet hanh, a pâhma e cavui rakhun hanh, lat hanh. Hi hoi cet laipalah ka sannunaw koe mah awm lawih.
9 Pay attention to what part of the field the men are reaping and follow the women. I've told the men not to bother you. When you get thirsty, go and have a drink from the water jars the servants have filled.”
Law hma vah cang ka a naw hah khen nateh ahnimae hnukkâbang lawih. Thoundounnaw ni tarawk hoeh na hanlah ka dei pouh toe. Tui na kahran navah hlaam hrueknae koe cet nateh thoundoun ni a do e tui net leih atipouh navah,
10 She bowed down with her face to the ground. “Why are you being so kind to me or even notice me, seeing I'm a foreigner?” she asked him.
Ruth ni talai dawk a tabo teh kai teh Jentel tami ka tho dawkvah ka bawipa nange na lung a kuep nahane bangtelamaw ka ti han ti teh a pacei.
11 “I've heard about all you've done for your mother-in-law since your husband died,” Boaz replied. “And also how you left your father and mother, and the land of your birth, to come and live among people you didn't know.
Boaz ni hai na vâ a due hnukkhu, na mani na khetyawt e thoseh, na khoram hoi na manu na pa na ceitakhai teh na panue hoeh e khoram dawk na pha tie thoseh, kai koe kamcengcalah a dei awh toe.
12 May the Lord fully reward you for all you've done—the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you've come for protection.
Na tawksak pueng dawk Cathut ni na patho lawiseh. Nang ni a rathei rahim o hanlah na hnaisin e Isarel Cathut ni tawkphu na poe lawiseh atipouh
13 Thank you for being so good to me, sir,” she replied. “You have reassured me by speaking to me kindly. I'm not even one of your servants.”
Ruth nihaiyah, bawipa kai haiyah na hmalah minhmai kahawi kahmawt naseh. Kai teh nange na sannunaw hoi ka kâvan hoeh eiteh, nama ni lawkkamuem lahoi na dei pouh teh lung yo na pahawi toe telah atipouh.
14 When it was time to eat, Boaz called her over. “Come here,” he said. “Take some bread and dip it in wine vinegar.” So she sat down with the workers and Boaz passed her some roasted grain to eat. She ate until she'd had enough with some left over.
Boaz nihai, canei nahane atueng kuep toe. Tho nateh, vaiyei cat haw. Misurtui dawk ranup hottelah atipouh e patetlah, Ruth teh cang ka a naw hoi cungtalah a tahung navah, Boaz ni vaiyei a poe teh, kaboumcalah a ca hnukkhu, bout a pek.
15 After Ruth went back to work Boaz told his men, “Let her pick up grain even among the sheaves. Don't say anything to embarrass her.
Cavui pâhma e racawng hanlah a thaw teh a cei navah, Boaz ni avaicanaw koe, hote napui teh pâhma e cabong racawng naseh. Yeirai poe awh hanh.
16 In fact, pull out some stalks from the bundles you're cutting and leave them for her to pick up. Don't tell her off.”
A tangcoung e cabong hai lem pek pouh awh, hrawm van naseh. Toun awh hanh, telah lawk a thui.
17 Ruth worked in the field until the evening. When she beat out the grain that she had picked up it was a large amount.
Ruth ni hote laikawk dawk tangmin totouh cavui pâhma e a racawng teh a katin hnukkhu catun ephah, buet tabang a pha.
18 She picked it up and took it back to town to show her mother-in-law how much she had collected. Ruth also gave her what she had left over from her meal.
Hote cakang aphu teh, khothung a kâenkhai. A hmu e cakang hai a mani a patue. Kaboumlah a ca hnukkhu a pek e vaiyei hai a rasa teh bout a poe.
19 Naomi asked her, “Where did you pick up grain today? Exactly where did you work? Bless whoever cared enough about you to pay you some attention!” So she told her mother-in-law about who she had worked with. “The man I worked with today is called Boaz.”
A mani ni hai sahnin nâmaw cavui na racawng. Nâmaw thaw na tawk. Nang na ka panuek e tami teh a yawhawi seh telah atipouh hnukkhu, Ruth ni sahnin ka tawknae tami e min teh Boaz doeh telah atipouh.
20 “The Lord bless him!” Naomi exclaimed to her daughter-in-law. “He goes on showing his kindness to the living and the dead. That man is a close relative to us—a ‘family redeemer.’”
A mani ni kahring e tami, kadout e taminaw koe lungmanae pout laipalah ka sak pouh rae Cathut ni yawhawinae na poe lawiseh. Hote tami teh maimouh hoi kambawng e tami, kâhnai e miphun lah ao toe telah a langa koe atipouh
21 Ruth added, “He also told me, ‘Stay close to my workers until they have finished harvesting my entire crop.’”
Hote tami ni cang ka a e ka cum hoe roukrak ka taminaw koe awm ei telah Moab napui Ruth koe a dei pouh navah,
22 “That's good, my daughter,” Naomi told Ruth. “Stay with his women workers. Don't go to other fields where you might be molested.”
Naomi ni, ka canu nang teh ahnie a sannunaw hoi cungtalah na awm pawiteh ahawi. Alouke laikawk dawk ahnimouh ni na hmawt payon vaih, telah Ruth koe a dei pouh.
23 So Ruth stayed with Boaz' women workers picking up grain until the end of the barley harvest, and then on to the end of the wheat harvest. She lived with her mother-in-law the whole time.
Ahni teh barli, canga e abaw totouh Boaz e a sannunaw koe ao teh, cavui pâhma e rakhun hanelah a cei teh a mani koe ao.
