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?
Alò Naomi, bèlmè li a te di l: “Fi mwen, èske m pa dwe chache sekirite pou ou, pou sa kapab ale byen pou 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.
Alò èske Boaz avèk sèvant li kote ou te ye yo, èske se pa pwòch fanmi pa nou? Gade byen, l ap vannen lòj nan glasi a aswè a.
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,
Pou sa, lave kò ou, onksyone ou e mete pi bèl rad ou yo pou desann nan glasi vannen an. Men pa fè nonm nan konnen kilès ou ye jiskaske li fin manje ak bwè.
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.”
Li va rive ke lè li fin kouche, ke ou va remake byen kote li kouche a, epi ou va ale dekouvri pye li e kouche la. Konsa li va di ou kisa pou w fè.”
5 “I'll do everything you told me,” said Ruth.
Epi li te di li: “Tout sa ou di m fè, mwen va fè l.”
6 She went down to the threshing floor and did what her mother-in-law had told her to do.
Konsa, li te desann kote glasi vannen an pou te fè selon tout sa ke bèlmè li te kòmande li yo.
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 Boaz te fin manje ak bwè, kè l te kontan. Konsa li te ale kouche nan pwent pil lòj la, e Ruth te vin kote li an sekrè. Konsa, li te dekouvri pye li pou te kouche la.
8 Around midnight Boaz suddenly woke up. Bending forward he was surprised to see a woman lying at his feet.
Li te vin rive nan mitan nwit lan ke nonm nan te sibitman sanse yon bagay, epi lè l panche devan an, men yon fanm te kouche la nan pye li.
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 te di: “Kilès ou ye?” Li te reponn: “Mwen se Ruth, sèvant ou a. Konsa, tann kouvèti ou sou sèvant ou a, paske ou se pwòch fanmi pa m.”
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.
Epi li te di: “Ke ou kapab beni pa SENYÈ a, fi mwen. Ou te montre dènye favè ou a pi bèl pase premye a! Konsa, ke ou pa t kouri dèyè jennonm yo, kit rich, kit pòv.
11 So don't worry, my daughter. I will do everything you ask—everyone in town knows you are a woman of good character.
Alò fi mwen, pa pè; mwen va fè pou ou nenpòt sa ke ou mande, paske tout pèp nan vil la konnen ke ou se yon fanm plen kalite.
12 However, even though I'm one of your family redeemers, there's one who is more closely related than I am.
Alò, se vrè ke mwen se yon pwòch fanmi. Men gen yon fanmi 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.”
Rete pou nwit lan e lè maten rive, si li va peye ranson ou, trè byen; kite li peye ranson ou. Men si li pa vle peye ranson ou, alò, kon SENYÈ a viv la, mwen va peye ranson ou! Kouche la jis rive nan 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.”
Konsa, li te kouche nan pye li jis rive nan maten e te leve avan youn ta kab rekonèt lòt. Konsa, Boaz te di: “Pa kite li vin konnen ke fanm nan te vini nan glasi vannen an.”
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.
Ankò li te di: “Ban mwen manto ki sou ou a e kenbe li.” Konsa, li te kenbe li e li te mezire sis mezi nan lòj la e te poze l sou li. Epi li te lantre nan vil 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 te rive vè bèlmè li, li te di: “Kijan sa te sòti, fi mwen?” Epi li te di li tout sa ke nonm nan te 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.’”
Li te di: “Men sis mezi lòj li te ban mwen yo, paske li te di: ‘Pa kite men a bèlmè ou vid.’”
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.”
Epi li te di: “Tann, fi mwen, jiskaske ou konnen kijan afè sa vin fini, paske nonm nan p ap pran repo jiskaske li fin regle li jodi a menm.”
