< Ruth 2 >
1 AND Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
Te vaengah Naomi aka ming la a va kah pacaboeina, a ming ah Boaz tah Elimelekh cako khuiah tatthai, hlangrhalh hlang la om.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
Moab nu Ruth loh Noami taengah, “Lohma la ka cet mai vetih a mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang atah a hnukah cangmo ka yoep van eh,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Ka canu, cet saw ne,” a ti nah.
3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
Te dongah cet tih lohma la a pawk vaengah cang at rhoek hnukah a yoep van. Te vaengah Elimelekh kah a hui a ko Boaz lo kah khamyai te Ruth kah a hma la ana pawk.
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they answered him, The Lord bless thee.
Te vaengah Boaz te Bethlehem lamloh pakcak ha pawk tih cang aka at rhoek te, “Nangmih taengah BOEIPA om saeh,” a ti nah hatah anih te, “Nang khaw BOEIPA loh yoethen m'pae saeh,” a ti nauh.
5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
Te phoeiah cang aka at rhoek khuikah amah lopai cadong te Boaz loh, “Hekah hula he unim ca?,” a ti nah.
6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
Te dongah cang at rhoek aka pai thil cadong loh a doo tih, “Anih tah Moab kho lamkah Naomi neh aka bal Moab nu hula,” a ti nah.
7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
Te dongah, “Ka yoep van saeh lamtah cang at rhoek hnukkah canghmoek ke ka coi mai eh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah cet tih pohlip ah rhaih a duem nen te mincang lamloh tahae duela a pai thil.
8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:
Te dongah Ruth te Boaz loh, “Ka canu na yaak moenih a? Cangmo yoep ham te lo lang ah cet boeh, he lamkah khaw nong boeh, kai kah hula rhoek taengah pahoi balak van.
9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
Lohma li kah cang at rhoek te na mik neh so lamtah amih hnuk ah cet van. Nang te ben pawt ham cadong rhoek te ka uen moenih a? Tui na hal vaengah khaw am ke paan lamtah cadong rhoek kah a than tangtae te o,” a ti nah.
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
Te vaengah Ruth te a hmai la buluk tih diklai la bakop. Te phoeiah Boaz te, “Kai he kholong hlang dae kai nan hmat ham khaw balae tih na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang,” a ti nah.
11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
Tedae Boaz loh a doo tih, “Na va a dueknah hnukah na mani hamla na saii khaw, na nu na pa, na pacaboeina kah a khohmuen na hnoo tih hlaem hlavai kah na ming pawh pilnam taengla na pawk te a pum la kai taengah a thui rhoela a thui coeng.
12 The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
Na bisai te BOEIPA loh han thuung saeh lamtah a phae hlip ah ying hamla na paan Israel Pathen BOEIPA taeng lamkah na thapang te rhuemtuet la ha om saeh,” a ti nah.
13 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
Ruth loh, “Kai nan hloep dongah ka boeipa nang kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang, na sal a lungbuei te cawt na doo coeng tih kai tah na sal bangla ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
14 And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.
Buh caak tue vaengah tah Boaz loh, “Hela ha thoeih lamtah buh te ca dae, na buhkam te a thuui dongah khaw nuem dae,” a ti nah. Te daengah cang at rhoek taeng ah ngol thuk. Te vaengah anih ham vairhum a phom pah tih a hah la a caak phoeiah a caknoi pueng.
15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
Cangmo yoep la koep a thoh hang vaengah, Boaz loh a cadong rhoek te a uen tih, “Canghmoek laklo ah yoep mai cakhaw a hmaithae sak uh boeh.
16 And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
Cangphung dongkah te buem buem uh lamtah anih ham hnoo pauh. A yoep vaengah khaw anih te tluung uh boeh,” a ti nah.
17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
Te dongah lohma li ah cangmo te kholaeh due a yoep tih a yoep te a boh vaengah cangtun cangnoek pakhat tluk a om pah.
18 And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
Te te a khuen tih khopuei a paan. A mani a hmuh vaengah cangmo a yoep a khuen tih a hah phoeikah a caknoi pah te a mani a paek.
19 And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
Te vaengah anih te a mani loh, “Tihnin ah melam na yoep tih me rhoek ah lae na saii? Nang aka hmat tah a yoethen pai saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah a taengah bi a saii pah hlang te a mani taengah a thui tih, “Tihnin ah a taengah bi ka saii pah hlang kah a ming tah Boaz ni,” a ti nah.
20 And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.
Naomi loh a langa te, “BOEIPA loh anih yoe a then sak. Amah long tah aka hing rhoek taeng neh aka duek rhoek taengah khaw a sitlohnah pat sak pawh a ti nah. Te phoeiah Ruth taengah Naomi loh, “Anih te mamih aka tlan, mah neh aka yoei uh hlang ni,” a ti nah.
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
Moab nu Ruth loh, “Kai taengah khaw, 'Kamah taengkah cangah boeih a bawt duela kamah kah cadong rhoek taengah balak mai,’ a ti pataeng,” a ti nah.
22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
Te dongah a langa Ruth taengah Naomi loh, “Nang te lo lang ah n'cuuk sak uh voel pawt vetih anih lopai rhoek taengla na pawk te ka canu aw then mai coeng,” a ti nah.
23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
Te dongah cangtun cangah neh cangtang cangah a boeih duela cangmo yoep ham Boaz kah lopai rhoek taengah balak tih a mani taengah kho a sak.
