< 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?
Gaaf tokko Naaʼomiin haati dhirsa ishee akkana isheedhaan jette; “Yaa intala ko, ani akka ati itti boqottuuf mana mijaaʼaa siif barbaaduu hin qabuu?
2 And now [is] not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
Boʼeez namichi ati tajaajiltoota isaa dubarran sana wajjin turte sun fira keenya mitii? Inni edana oobdiitti garbuu qulleeffata.
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.
Kanaafuu dhidhiqadhuutii shittoo dibadhu; uffata kee isa bareedaa illee uffadhu. Ergasiis gara oobdichaa dhaqi; inni garuu hamma nyaatee dhugee raawwatutti akka ati achi jirtu hin beekin.
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.
Yeroo inni rafutti iddoo inni rafe hubadhu. Ergasii dhaqiitii wayyaa miilla isaa irraa saaqii ciisi. Innis waan ati gochuu qabdu sitti hima.”
5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
Ruutis, “Ani waan ati jettu hunda nan godha” jettee deebifte.
6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
Kanaafuu Ruut gara oobdii sanaatti gad buutee waan haati dhirsa ishee godhi jetteen hundumaa goote.
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 corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
Boʼeezis erga nyaatee dhugee gammadee booddee achi fagaatee tuulaa midhaanii bira rafuu dhaqe. Ruutis suuta jettee dhaqxee miilla isaa irraa wayyaa saaqxee rafte.
8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Halkan walakkaatti wanni tokko namicha rifachiise; innis yommuu of irra garagalee ilaaletti dubartii miilla isaa jala ciiftu tokko arge.
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.
Innis, “Ati eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Isheenis, “Ana Ruut tajaajiltuu kee ti. Ati sababii na dhaaluuf fira dhiʼoo taateef handaara wayyaa keetii narra buusi” jetteen.
10 And he said, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD, 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.
Innis deebisee akkana jedheen; “Yaa intala too, Waaqayyo si haa eebbisu; arjummaan kun arjummaa ati kanaan dura goote sana caala; ati dargaggeessa yookaan sooressa yookaan hiyyeessa faana hin deemneetii.
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.
Ammas yaa intala koo hin sodaatin. Ani waan ati gaafattu hunda siif nan godha. Sabni magaalaa koo keessa jiraatu hundi akka ati dubartii amala gaarii qabdu taate ni beeka.
12 And now it is true that I [am thy] near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Akka ani fira dhiʼoo taʼe beekamaa dha; taʼus namni dhaaluudhaaf ana caalaa fira dhiʼoo taʼe jira.
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] the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
Asuma buli; bori ganama namichi yoo si dhaaluu barbaade gaarii dha; inni si haa dhaalu. Yoo inni si dhaaluu hin barbaanne garuu dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ani sin dhaala. Hamma lafti bariitutti asuma ciisi.”
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.
Kanaafuu isheen hamma lafti bariitutti miilla isaa jala ciifte; garuu utuu namni tokko iyyuu hin beekin dursitee kaate; Boʼeez, “Dubartiin gara oobdii kanaa dhufuun ishee beekamuu hin qabu” jedheeraatii.
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.
Akkasumas, “Wayyaa irraan uffatte ofi irraa fuudhii diriirsii qabi” jedheen. Isheenis ni diriirsite; inni garbuu safartuu jaʼa safaree ishee baachise. Ergasiis gara magaalaatti deebite.
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.
Yommuu Ruut gara haadha dhirsa isheetti deebitetti Naaʼomiin, “Yaa intala ko, wanni sun akkam taʼe?” jettee ishee gaafatte. Isheenis waan Boʼeez isheef godhe hunda itti himte;
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.
itti dabaltees, “‘Gara haadha dhirsa keetti harka duwwaa hin deebiʼin’ jedhee garbuu safartuu jaʼaa kana naa kenne” jetteen.
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.
Naaʼomiin immoo, “Yaa intala ko, hamma waan dhufu argitutti obsi. Namichi hamma dubbiin kun harʼa fala argatutti hin boqotu” isheedhaan jette.
