< Ruth 3 >

1 A little later Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, don't you think I should find you a husband and a good home?
Hitichun nikhat Naomi in Ruth kom’a chun, “Kachanu keiman na-inchen theina ding ngaito peh leng hichu nang dinga phalou ding ham?
2 Don't ignore the fact that Boaz, whose women you worked with, is closely related to us. Now tonight he will be busy winnowing grain on the threshing floor.
Boaz hi eini dinga i-kinai pi pen i-inko’u khat ahi, chule khotona neitah anungah goihotoh natoh khomsah jing ahi. Tujan’a hi aman achangphol’a sakol chang aden ahi.
3 Have a bath, put on some perfume, wear your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor—but don't let him recognize you. Once he's finished eating and drinking,
Hijeh chun kasei bang bang hin bollin, “Kisiltheng sel inlang thao kinunlang navon hoipen kivon inlang, achangvohna pholla chun gachesuh’in ahinla aneh’a adonchai tokah’in Boaz chu kimusah hih in.
4 watch where he goes to lie down. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”
Alup tengleh alupna mun chu melchih’in, chuteng chenlang akengphang chu hohdoh inlang hilai mun’ah chun lum in. Hiteng chuleh aman nabolding nahin seipih tante,” ati.
5 “I'll do everything you told me,” said Ruth.
Ruth nin adonbutin, “Bollin nati tichu kabol jeng ding ahi,” ati.
6 She went down to the threshing floor and did what her mother-in-law had told her to do.
Hiche jan chun amanu jong achesuh in atehpi’n bol ding’a aseipeh jouse chu aboltan ahi.
7 After Boaz had finished eating and drinking, and was feeling contented, he went and lay down beside the grain pile. Ruth quietly approached him, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
Boaz chun aneh’a adonjouva chuleh lungkipah tah a aum jouvin Boaz chu achang kiset vum’na pang’a chun agalumtan ahi. Hichun Ruth jong kangchan hung vahlut’in, akengphang teni ahohdoh in alumtai.
8 Around midnight Boaz suddenly woke up. Bending forward he was surprised to see a woman lying at his feet.
Jan khangkim donnin Boaz chu ahung kin khang in, agah kihei leh akengphang kom’a numei khat analup chu amudoh tan ahi.
9 “Who are you?” he asked. “I'm Ruth, your servant,” she replied. “Please spread the corner of your cloak over me, for you are my family redeemer.”
Hichun aman jong “Koi nahim?” tia adohleh, numeinu chun ahin donbut’in “Keima nasohnu Ruth kahi, naponchu keijong neihin silpehin ajeh chu nangma hi insungmi kinaipi penchu nahi,” ati.
10 “May the Lord bless you, my daughter,” he said. “You are showing even more loyalty and love to the family than before. You haven't gone looking for a younger man, of whatever social status.
Hichun Boaz injong aseijin, “Kachanu Pakaiyin phatthei naboh hen, nangman natoh masat thilpha sanga jong tuahi aphacheh nabol kit ahitai, hao-hen vaijongleh gollhang hojoh hol louva umah nahi.
11 So don't worry, my daughter. I will do everything you ask—everyone in town knows you are a woman of good character.
Chuti ahile, tun kachanu lungkham hih in keiman boldinga lom hochu hinbol nange, ajeh chu hiche khopi sunga mijouse hin nangma hi numei phachomtah nahi ahetsoh keiyu ahi.
12 However, even though I'm one of your family redeemers, there's one who is more closely related than I am.
Keima hi nakinaipi insungmi chu kahinai ahinla keisanga nakinaipi khat aum nalai in ahi.
13 Stay here tonight, and in the morning if he wants to redeem you, then fine, let him do it. But if he doesn't, then I promise you in the name of the living Lord, I will redeem you. Lie down here until morning.”
Tujan gehkhovah den inlang, jingkah teng amachun phung kinaipi toh dingdol akin nabolpeh leh apha ahijinge, ahinlah aman hichu abol nomlouva ahileh hingjing Pakai minna kasei ahi, keiman nabolpeh nang nge, tun jingkah geijin umtan,” ati.
14 So Ruth lay at his feet until morning. Then she got up before it was light enough to recognize anyone because Boaz had told her, “No one must know that a woman came here to the threshing floor.”
Hitichun Ruth jong Boaz kengphangbulla chun jingkah geijin alum’in, ahin jingkah lang kungbul le mi kimah donin athoudohin, Boaz in, “Hiche changvohna pholla hin numei aumme ti koimachan hetda hen,” ati
15 He also told her, “Bring me the cloak you're wearing and hold it out.” So she held it out and he poured out six measures of barley into it. He helped her put it on her back and she went back to town.
Hichejou chun Boaz in amanu koma chun, “Napon chu hin phan” atin sakol chang chu atena dim gup jen asempeh in akiputsah tai, hitichun khopi sunglang’a chun achetan ahi.
16 Ruth went to her mother-in-law, who asked her, “How did it go for you, my daughter?” So Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her.
Ruth chu atehpi kom alhun phat’in Naomi’n, “Ipi toh nagabah hinam?” atileh, Ruth chun Boaz in abolpeh hojouse chu aseipeh tan ahi.
17 “And he also gave me these six measures of barley,” she added. “He told me, ‘You mustn't go home to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
Chuleh Ruth chun aseiyin, “Natehpi komma sagoh keuva nakinung le louding ahi tin sakol chang atenadim gup eihin pohsah e,” ati.
18 Naomi said to Ruth, “Wait patiently, my daughter, until you find out how it all works out. Boaz won't rest until he has it settled today.”
Hichun Naomi’n amanu kommah, “Kanao Itobang thil hung sohdoh mong mong am ti ijah kahsen ngah hat’in, amapa chun tunia hi thilkhat atohlhah tokah a umthimlou helding ahi,” ati.
