< 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.
Alò Naomi te gen yon fanmi pwòch a mari li, yon nonm avèk anpil richès, ki sòti nan fanmi Élimélec, ki te rele Boaz.
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.
Ruth, Moabit la te di a Naomi: “Souple, kite mwen ale ranmase lòj pami tèt sereyal yo nan chan a sila ke mwen kapab twouve favè nan zye li.” Epi li te di l: “Ale fi mwen.”
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.
Konsa, li te sòti pou te ale ranmase nan chan an apre moun rekòlt yo. Epi li te vin rive nan pòsyon chan ki te pou Boaz la, ki te manm fanmi Élimélec la.
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.
Alò vwala, Boaz te sòti Bethléhem pou te di a moun rekòlt yo: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab avèk nou.” Epi yo te di li: “Ke SENYÈ a beni nou.”
5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel [is] this?
Konsa, Boaz te di a sèvitè li ki te an chaj moun rekòlt yo: “Pou kilès jenn fanm sila a?”
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:
Sèvitè an chaj la te reponn: “Se jenn fanm Moabit ki te retounen avèk Naomi soti nan peyi Moab la.
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.
Li te di nou: ‘Souple, kite mwen ranmase e sanble apre moun rekòlt yo pami pakèt mwasonyè yo.’ Konsa, li te vini e te rete soti nan maten a jis rive koulye a, sòf ke li te chita nan kay la pou yon ti tan.”
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:
Alò, Boaz te di a Ruth: “Koute byen fi mwen! Pa ale ranmase nan chan lòt moun. Anplis, pa kite chan sila a, men rete isit la avèk sèvant mwen yo.
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.
Kite zye ou rete sou chan ke yo rekòlte a e swiv yo. Vrèman, mwen te kòmande sèvitè mwen yo pou pa touche ou. Lè ou swaf, ale nan veso dlo yo pou bwè nan sa ke sèvitè yo rale.”
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?
Alò, li te tonbe sou figi li e te bese ba atè. Li te di l: “Poukisa mwen jwenn favè nan zye w konsa, pou ou ta wè m, paske se yon etranje ke mwen ye?”
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.
Boaz te reponn li: “Tout sa ke ou te fè pou bèlmè ou apre lanmò mari ou te deklare nèt a mwen menm; jan ou te kite papa ou avèk manman ou, peyi nesans ou e te vini a yon pèp ke ou pa t menm konnen oparavan.
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.
Ke SENYÈ a kapab bay ou rekonpans pou travay sa a, e ke salè ou ki sòti nan SENYÈ a vin plen nèt; Li menm Bondye a Israël la, anba zèl a sila ou te vini mande refij la.”
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.
Epi li te di: “Kite mwen jwenn favè nan zye ou, patwon mwen, paske ou te fè m jwenn konfò e vrèman te pale pawòl emab anvè sèvant ou, malgre mwen pa youn nan sèvant ou yo.”
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.
Nan lè manje a, Boaz te di li: “Vin isit la, pou ou kapab manje nan pen an e fonse mòso pen ou an nan vinèg la.” Konsa li te chita akote moun rekòlt yo. Li te sèvi li sereyal boukannen; li te manje, te satisfè, epi te gen rès ki rete.
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:
Lè li te leve pou ale ranmase, Boaz te kòmande sèvitè li yo. Li te di: “Kite li ranmase menm pami pakèt yo, pa bay li pwoblèm.
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.
Anplis, nou va rale kèk nan pakèt yo eksprè e kite li la pou li kapab ranmase e pa repwoche l.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
Konsa Ruth te ranmase nan chan an jis rive nan aswè. Lè li te bat sa li te ranmase yo, li te anviwon yon efa lòj.
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.
Li te pran li e te lantre nan vil la pou bèlmè li te wè sa ke li te ranmase yo. Li anplis te rale bay Naomi sa ki te rete lè li menm te fin satisfè.
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.
Bèlmè li te di li: “Kote ou te ranmase jodi a e kibò ou te travay? Pou sila ki te pran enterè nan ou yo kapab beni!” Konsa, li te di bèlmè li avèk ki moun li te travay, epi te di: “Non a mesye a avèk sila mwen te travay jodi a te Boaz.”
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 te di bèlfi li: “Ke li menm kapab beni pa SENYÈ a ki pa t retire mizerikòd li sou vivan yo ak sou mò yo.” Ankò, Naomi te di a li: “Nonm nan se fanmi nou, li se youn nan fanmi pwòch nou yo.”
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.
Alò Ruth Moabit la te di, “Anplis, li te di mwen: ‘Ou dwe rete pre sèvitè mwen yo jiskaske yo fin fè rekòlt mwen.’”
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.
Naomi te di a Ruth, bèlfi li a: “Sa bon pitit mwen pou ou sòti avèk sèvant li yo, pou kèk lòt moun pa vin tonbe sou ou nan yon lòt chan.”
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.
Konsa li te rete pre sèvant Boaz yo pou ranmase jiska fen rekòlt lòj la avèk ble a. Epi li te rete lakay bèlmè li.
