< Ruth 2 >

1 Then Naomis husband had a kinsman, one of great power of the familie of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Naomi te gen yon fanmi mari l' yo te rele Bòz. Se te yon nonm ki te rich epi ki te grannèg. Li te fè pati menm branch fanmi ak Elimelèk, defen mari Naomi an.
2 And Ruth ye Moabitesse said vnto Naomi, I pray thee, Let mee goe to the fielde, and gather eares of corne after him, in whose sight I finde fauour. And she said vnto her, Goe my daughter.
Rit, fanm peyi Moab la, di Naomi konsa: -Kite m' ale nan jaden yo pou m' ranmase tèt lòj moun k'ap ranmase rekòt yo kite tonbe atè. M'a jwenn yon moun ki va kite m' ranmase nan jaden li. Naomi reponn li: -Ale non, mafi.
3 And she went, and came and gleaned in the fielde after the reapers, and it came to passe, that she met with the portion of the fielde of Boaz, who was of the familie of Elimelech.
Se konsa, Rit leve, li al nan jaden yo, li pran mache dèyè travayè yo, li t'ap ranmase tèt lòj yo te kite tonbe atè. Chans pou li, li rive nan yon jaden ki te pou Bòz, fanmi Elimelèk la.
4 And behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and saide vnto the reapers, The Lord be with you: and they answered him, The Lord blesse thee.
Li te la depi kèk tan lè Bòz rive soti Betleyèm. Li di travayè yo bonjou, li di yo: -Seyè a avèk nou! Yo reponn li: -benediksyon Seyè a avè ou tou!
5 Then saide Boaz vnto his seruant that was appointed ouer the reapers, Whose maide is this?
Bòz mande kontwòlè a: -Ki jenn ti madanm sa a?
6 And the seruant that was appointed ouer the reapers, answered, and said, It is the Moabitish maide, that came with Naomi out of the countrey of Moab:
Nonm lan reponn: -Se yon fi moun lòt peyi li ye. Se li menm ki te vini ansanm ak Naomi lè li te tounen soti nan peyi Moab.
7 And shee saide vnto vs, I pray you, let mee gleane and gather after the reapers among the sheaues: so shee came, and hath continued from that time in the morning vnto now, saue that she taried a litle in the house.
Li te mande m' pou m' kite l' mache dèyè travayè yo ranmase tèt lòj ki tonbe atè yo. L'ap degaje l' la a depi maten. Li fèk sispann pou l' pran yon ti repo anba tonèl lan la a.
8 Then said Boaz vnto Ruth, Hearest thou, my daughter? goe to none other fielde to gather, neither goe from hence: but abide here by my maydens.
Lè sa a, Bòz di Rit konsa: -M'ap ba ou yon ti konsèy, tande, mafi. Ou pa bezwen ale nan lòt jaden pou ranmase tèt lòj. Ou mèt rete nan jaden sa a, bò medam yo ki isit la.
9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reape, and goe thou after the maidens. Haue I not charged the seruants, that they touche thee not? Moreouer whe thou art a thirst, go vnto ye vessels, and drinke of that which ye seruants haue drawen.
Gade tout kote y'ap travay nan jaden an, fè dèyè yo, rete ak yo. Mwen bay mesye m' yo lòd pou yo pa anbete ou. Chak fwa w'a swaf dlo, ou mèt al bwè nan kannari yo plen pou sa.
10 Then shee fell on her face, and bowed her selfe to the ground, and said vnto him, How haue I found fauour in thine eyes, that thou shouldest know me, seeing I am a stranger?
Rit bese tèt li jouk atè devan Bòz. Li di l' konsa: -Poukisa w'ap bay kò ou tout traka sa a pou mwen? Poukisa w'ap fè tout bagay sa a pou yon moun ki pa menm ras avè ou?
11 And Boaz answered, and said vnto her, All is told and shewed me that thou hast done vnto thy mother in lawe, since the death of thine husband, and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and ye land where thou wast borne, and art come vnto a people which thou knewest not in time past.
Bòz reponn li: -Yo di m' tou sa ou te fè pou bèlmè ou depi mari ou mouri a. Mwen konnen ou kite manman ou, papa ou ak peyi kote ou moun lan, ou vin viv nan mitan yon lòt pèp ou pa t' janm konnen anvan.
12 The Lord recompense thy worke, and a ful reward be giuen thee of the Lord God of Israel, vnder whose wings thou art come to trust.
Mwen mande Seyè a pou li rekonpanse ou pou tou sa ou te fè. Wi. Ou vini mete ou anba zèl li pou l' pwoteje ou. Se pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ba ou yon bèl rekonpans!
13 Then she saide, Let me finde fauour in thy sight, my lord: for thou hast comforted mee, and spoken comfortably vnto thy mayde, though I be not like to one of thy maydes.
Rit reponn li: -Ou pa konn sa ou fè la a pou mwen, msye! Jan ou pale byen avè m' la a, sa ban m' kouraj, malgre mwen pa vo yonn nan medam k'ap sèvi avè ou yo.
14 And Boaz said vnto her, At the meale time come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dippe thy morsell in the vineger. And she sate beside the reapers, and hee reached her parched corne: and shee did eate, and was sufficed, and left thereof.
Lè lè pou yo manje a rive, Bòz di Rit konsa: -Pwoche non! Pran yon moso pen, tranpe l' nan sòs vinèg la pou ou manje! Se konsa Rit vin chita ansanm ak lòt travayè yo. Bòz te ba li kèk grenn lòj griye tou. Rit manje plen vant li, epi rès manje ki te rete a, li sere l'.
15 And when she arose to gleane, Boaz commanded his seruants, saying, Let her gather among the sheaues, and doe not rebuke her.
Lè Rit leve al ranmase, Bòz bay travayè yo lòd sa a: -Nou mèt kite l' ranmase grenn menm kote pakèt mare yo ye a. Pa chache l' kont.
16 Also let fall some of the sheaues for her, and let it lie, that she may gather it vp, and rebuke her not.
Okontrè, rache kèk tèt nan pakèt mare yo, lage yo atè pou l' ka ranmase. Pa di l' anyen, tande!
17 So she gleaned in the fielde vntill euening, and she thresshed that shee had gathered, and it was about an Ephah of barly.
Se konsa Rit rete ranmase grap lòj nan jaden an jouk solèy kouche. Lè li fin bat tèt lòj yo, li jwenn sa ki te manke l' pou l' te gen vennsenk ti mamit la pa t' anyen.
18 And she tooke it vp, and went into the citie, and her mother in law saw what she had gathered: Also she tooke foorth, and gaue to her that which she had reserued, when she was sufficed.
Li pran grenn lòj li yo, li tounen lavil, li moutre bèlmè li tou sa li te ranmase. Li ba li tou rès manje ki te rete lè l' te fin manje a.
19 Then her mother in lawe saide vnto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he, that knewe thee. And she shewed her mother in lawe, with whome she had wrought, and saide, The mans name, with whom I wrought to day, is Boaz.
Naomi mande l': -Kote ou ranmase tout lòj sa a jòdi a? Nan jaden ki moun ou t'ap travay, en? Se pou Bondye beni moun ki fè sa pou ou a! Lè sa a, Rit di bèlmè li konsa li t'ap travay nan jaden yon msye yo rele Bòz.
20 And Naomi said vnto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the Lord: for he ceaseth not to doe good to the liuing and to the dead. Againe Naomi saide vnto her, The man is neere vnto vs, and of our affinitie.
Naomi di bèlfi li a: -benediksyon Seyè a pou Bòz! Wi. Seyè a ap toujou kenbe pawòl li, nou te mèt vivan, nou te mèt mouri! Naomi di ankò: -Nonm sa a, se yon fanmi pre nou li ye. Se yonn nan moun ki reskonsab defann enterè fanmi an.
21 And Ruth the Moabitesse said, He said also certainely vnto mee, Thou shalt be with my seruants, vntill they haue ended all mine haruest.
Lè sa a, Rit di konsa: -Men sa l' di m' ankò: Se pou m' rete ranmase tèt lòj ansanm ak travayè li yo jouk rekòt la fini.
22 And Naomi answered vnto Ruth her daughter in lawe, It is best, my daughter, that thou goe out with his maides, that they meete thee not in an other fielde.
Naomi reponn li: -Wi, pitit mwen! Pito ou rete travay avèk medam yo nan jaden Bòz la, tande. Si ou ale nan jaden lòt moun, malè ka rive ou.
23 Then she kept her by the maides of Boaz, to gather vnto the end of barly haruest, and of wheate haruest, and dwelt with her mother in lawe.
Se konsa, Rit rete ansanm avèk medam k'ap travay ak Bòz yo. Li t'ap ranmase tèt lòj jouk travayè yo te fin rekòlte tout lòj la ak tout ble a. Li t'ap viv tout tan sa a ak bèlmè li toujou.
