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?
Kèk tan apre sa, Naomi di Rit konsa: -Pa pito m' chache yon mari pou ou, pou ou ka viv ak kè poze lakay ou?
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.
Ou chonje Bòz, pa vre? Mèt jaden kote ou te ye ansanm ak medam yo? Bon! Ou chonje mwen te di ou se yon fanmi pre nou li ye! Bon. Koute! Aswè a, yo pral vannen lòj yo fin bat yo.
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,
Al benyen. Mete odè sou ou, mete pi bèl rad ou sou ou. Epi ale bò glasi a, kote y'ap vannen an. Men, pa kite Bòz konnen ou la. W'a tann li fin manje, li fin bwè diven anvan.
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.”
Lè sa a, w'a gade byen kote li al kouche. Lè w'a wè dòmi pran l', ou va ale, w'a leve pwent dra ki kouvri pye l' yo, epi w'a kouche kouche ou la, bò kote l'. Li menm l'a di ou sa pou ou fè apre sa.
5 “I'll do everything you told me,” said Ruth.
Rit reponn li: -M'a fè tou sa ou di m' fè.
6 She went down to the threshing floor and did what her mother-in-law had told her to do.
Se konsa Rit leve vre, li ale bò glasi a, li fè sa bèlmè li te di l' fè a.
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.
Lè Bòz fin manje, lè li fin bwè diven, kè l' te kontan. Li al kouche bò yon pil pay lòj, epi dòmi pote l' ale. Lè sa a, Rit pwoche tou dousman, li leve pwent dra ki te kouvri pye l' yo, epi li kouche la bò kote l'.
8 Around midnight Boaz suddenly woke up. Bending forward he was surprised to see a woman lying at his feet.
Nan mitan lannwit, Bòz pantan nan dòmi an. Li leve, li panche, li tou sezi wè yon fanm ki te kouche nan pye l'.
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.”
Li mande: -Ki moun sa? Rit reponn li: -Se mwen menm, Rit. Ou se yon fanmi pre nou. Se ou ki reskonsab pou pran swen mwen. Mwen vin jwenn ou.
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.
Bòz di l' konsa: -benediksyon Seyè a avè ou, mafi! Sa w'ap fè la a pi konsekan pase tou sa ou te fè pou bèlmè ou la. Sa moutre ou pa soti pou ou lage fanmi an. Ou ta gen dwa al dèyè nenpòt ki jenn gason, rich osinon pòv, pou marye avè ou, men ou pa fè l'.
11 So don't worry, my daughter. I will do everything you ask—everyone in town knows you are a woman of good character.
Ou pa bezwen bat kò ou, tande. M'ap fè tou sa ou mande m' fè pou ou a. Tout moun konnen ou se yon fanm total.
12 However, even though I'm one of your family redeemers, there's one who is more closely related than I am.
Se vre sa ou di a. Mwen se yon fanmi pre nou. Mwen reskonsab ou. Men, gen yon nonm ki fanmi ou pi pre pase m'.
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.”
Ou mèt rete pase nwit lan la. Denmen maten m'a chache konnen si li vle pran reskonsablite a sou do li. Si li dakò pou li pran li, m'a byen kontan. Si li pa vle, enben, mwen fè sèman devan Bondye vivan ki nan syèl la, m'ap pran l' mwen menm. Koulye a, rete kouche la jouk denmen maten.
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.”
Se konsa Rit kouche la nan pye l'. Men, anvan bajou kase, li leve pou moun pa wè l', paske Bòz pa t' vle pesonn konnen li te la.
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.
Bòz di l' konsa: -Wete dra ki vlope ou la, louvri l' atè a. Rit louvri dra a atè. Bòz vide dis mamit lòj konsa ladan l'. Li mare l', epi li ede l' mete l' sou tèt li. Apre sa, Rit tounen lavil ak pakèt la.
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.
Lè li rive lakay li, bèlmè a mande l': -Enben, mafi! Ki jan sa pase? Rit tanmen rakonte l' tou sa Bòz fè pou li.
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.’”
Epi li di: -Anvan m' ale, li di m' konsa ou pa ka tounen san anyen. Se konsa, li ban m' dis mamit lòj sa yo.
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.”
Naomi di l': -Koulye a, Rit mafi, poze kò ou tann pou ou wè jan sa pral pase. Bòz p'ap bay kò l' kanpo jòdi a, tout tan li pa regle zafè sa a.
