< Ruth 3 >
1 Afterward Naomi her mother in lawe said vnto her, My daughter, shall not I seeke rest for thee, that thou mayest prosper?
Gbe ɖeka la, lɔ̃xoa Naomi gblɔ nɛ be, “Vinye, ɣeyiɣi mede be madi ŋutsu aɖe na wò nàɖe, ale be nàganɔ srɔ̃gbe oa?
2 Now also is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maides thou wast? beholde, he winoweth barly to night in the floore.
Ŋutsu si le nye susu me lae nye Boaz. Enyo dɔ me na mí ŋutɔ, eye gawu la, míaƒe ƒometɔ wònye. Menya be ele lu gbɔ ge le zã sia me le eƒe lugbɔƒe,
3 Wash thy sellfe therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment vpon thee, and get thee downe to the floore: let not the man know of thee, vntill he haue left eating and drinking.
eya ta wɔ ɖe nya si magblɔ na wò la dzi. Le tsi, nàsi amiʋeʋĩ, eye nàta avɔ nyui aɖe ayi lugbɔƒea. Mègana wòakpɔ wò o, va se ɖe esime wòaɖu nu vɔ hafi.
4 And when he shall sleepe, marke the place where he layeth him downe, and go, and vncouer the place of his feete, and lay thee downe, and he shall tell thee what thou shalt doe.
Lé ŋku ɖe afi si wòamlɔ la ŋu, eye nàyi aɖaklo avɔ ɖa le eƒe afɔ gbɔ, eye nàmlɔ eƒe afɔ nu. Ekema agblɔ nu si ku ɖe srɔ̃ɖeɖe ŋu la na wò.”
5 And she answered her, All that thou biddest me, I will doe.
Rut ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, mesee; mawɔ nu sia nu si nègblɔ la.”
6 So she went downe vnto the floore, and did according to all that her mother in lawe bade her.
Ale Rut yi lugbɔƒe la, eye wòwɔ nu si lɔ̃xoa gblɔ nɛ la pɛpɛpɛ.
7 And when Boaz had eaten, and drunken, and cheared his heart, he went to lie downe at the end of the heape of corne, and she came softly, and vncouered the place of his feet, and lay downe.
Esi Boaz ɖu nu, eye wòno nu vɔ la, eyi ɖamlɔ anyi dzidzemetɔe ɖe afi si woƒo lu ƒu ɖo la. Rut wɔ ɖɔɖɔɖɔ yi ɖaɖe avɔ le Boaz ƒe afɔ gbɔ, eye wòmlɔ eƒe afɔ nu.
8 And at midnight the man was afraide and caught holde: and loe, a woman lay at his feete.
Le zãtitina lɔƒo la, Boaz ɖi vo, nyɔ hefɔ bɔbɔ nɔ anyi. Ekpɔ nyɔnu aɖe wòmlɔ eƒe afɔ nu.
9 Then he sayd, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmayd: spread therefore the wing of thy garment ouer thine handmayd: for thou art the kinsman.
Ebiae be, “Wò ame kae?” Rut ɖo eŋu be, “Nye Rut, wò dɔlanyɔnue, nye aƒetɔ. Keke wò avɔ ɖe wò dɔlanyɔnu dzi, elabena srɔ̃ɖia nènye.”
10 Then sayd he, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: thou hast shewed more goodnes in the latter end, then at the beginning, in as much as thou followedst not yong men, were they poore or rich.
Boaz do ɣli be, “Meda akpe na Mawu ɖe ɖetugbi abe wò ene ta, elabena ègale Naomi nu vem fifia wu tsã gɔ̃ hã. Eme kɔ ƒãa be ŋutsu aɖe si metsi abe nye ene o, eɖanye ame dahe alo hotsuitɔ o, eyae anyo na wò wu hafi. Ke èɖe asi le ɖokuitɔdidi ŋu, ale be nàɖem, eye nàdzi domenyila na Naomi.
11 And now, my daughter, feare not: I will doe to thee all that thou requirest: for all the citie of my people doeth knowe, that thou art a vertuous woman.
Azɔ la, vinye, megavɔ̃ o. Mawɔ nya sia ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe ŋu dɔ, elabena ame sia ame nya be ènye ame tɔxɛ aɖe.
12 And now, it is true that I am thy kinsman, howbeit there is a kinsman neerer then I.
Ke kuxi ɖeka aɖe le nya la ŋu. Enye nyateƒe be wò ƒometɔe menye, ke ame bubu aɖe gali si do ƒome kpli wò wum.
13 Tarie to night, and when morning is come, if he will doe the duetie of a kinsman vnto thee, well, let him doe the kinsmans duetie: but if he will not doe the kinsmans part, then wil I doe the duetie of a kinsman, as the Lord liueth: sleepe vntill the morning.
Tsi afi sia dɔ. Ne ŋu ke la, maƒo nu kplii. Ne aɖe wò la, ekema enyo; newɔ eƒe dɔdeasi. Ke ne maɖe wò o la, ekema meta Yehowa be nye ŋutɔ maɖe wò. Mlɔ afi sia va se ɖe esime ŋu nake.”
14 And she lay at his feete vntill the morning: and she arose before one could know another: for he sayd, Let no man knowe, that a woman came into the floore.
Ale Rut mlɔ Boaz ƒe afɔ nu va se ɖe fɔŋli. Efɔ kaba hafi ŋu ke nyuie, elabena Boaz gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègana ame aɖeke nanya be nyɔnu aɖe va lugbɔƒe le afi sia o.”
15 Also he sayd, Bring the sheete that thou hast vpon thee, and holde it. And when she helde it, he measured sixe measures of barly, and layde them on her, and she went into the citie.
Boaz gagblɔ nɛ hã be, “Ɖo wò taɖedzi la ɖe anyigba.” Esi Rut wɔ alea la, Boaz ku lu dzidzenu ade kɔ ɖe avɔ la me, eye wòlée nɛ. Ale wòtrɔ yi aƒe me.
16 And when she came to her mother in law, she sayd, Who art thou, my daughter? And she tolde her all that the man had done to her,
Esi wòɖo aƒe me la, lɔ̃xoa biae be, “Vinyenyɔnu, aleke nèdee?” Rut gblɔ nu sia nu si Boaz wɔ nɛ la na lɔ̃xoa,
17 And said, These sixe measures of barly gaue he me: for he sayd to me, Thou shalt not come emptie vnto thy mother in lawe.
eye wògblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, “Eyae tsɔ lu dzidzenu ade sia nam hegblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, ‘Menyo be nàtrɔ ayi lɔ̃xowò gbɔ kple asi ƒuƒlu o.’”
18 Then sayd she, My daughter, sit still, vntill thou knowe how the thing will fall: for the man wil not be in rest, vntill he hath finished the matter this same day.
Tete Naomi gblɔ na Rut be, “Vinyenyɔnu, lala va se ɖe esime nàkpɔ ale si nya la ava wu enui ɖa, elabena Boaz madzudzɔ o, va se ɖe esime wòakpɔ ta na nya la egbea.”
