< Ruth 3 >

1 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
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 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
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 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done 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 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt 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 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
Epi li te di li: “Tout sa ou di m fè, mwen va fè l.”
6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
Konsa, li te desann kote glasi vannen an pou te fè selon tout sa ke bèlmè li te kòmande li yo.
7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her 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 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay 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 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
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 And he said, Blessed be thou of Yhwh, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
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 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.
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 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Alò, se vrè ke mwen se yon pwòch fanmi. Men gen yon fanmi pi pre pase m.
13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as Yhwh liveth: lie down until the 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 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the 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 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
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 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to 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 she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
Li te di: “Men sis mezi lòj li te ban mwen yo, paske li te di: ‘Pa kite men a bèlmè ou vid.’”
18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
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.”
