Ruth 3
1 And her mother-in-law Naomi says to her, “My daughter, do I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
Mokolo moko, Naomi, mama-bokilo ya Rite, alobaki na ye: — Mwana na ngai, nasengeli te koluka nzela mpo na bolamu na yo?
2 And now, is not Boaz of our acquaintance, with whose young women you have been? Behold, he is winnowing the threshing-floor of barley tonight,
Pamba te oyebi malamu ete Boazi, oyo osalaki elongo na basali na ye ya basi, azali ndeko na biso. Na pokwa ya lelo, akoyungola orje oyo basilaki kosopa na etando.
3 and you have bathed, and anointed yourself, and put your garments on you, and gone down to the threshing-floor; do not let yourself be known to the man until he completes to eat and to drink;
Boye, sukola malamu nzoto na yo, pakola mafuta mpe lata bilamba na yo, oyo eleki kitoko. Bongo, okokende na etando epai wapi akobeta orje na ye; kasi sala ete Boazi ayeba te ete ozali na esika yango kino akosilisa kolia mpe komela.
4 and it comes to pass, when he lies down, that you have known the place where he lies down, and have gone in, and uncovered his feet, and lain down—and he declares to you that which you do.”
Tango akokende kolala, okotala malamu esika nini akozala. Sima, okopusana, okolongola elamba oyo ezipi makolo na ye mpe okomilalisa wana, na makolo na ye. Ye moko akoyebisa yo makambo oyo osengeli kosala.
5 And she says to her, “All that you say—I do.”
Rite azongiselaki ye: — Nakosala nyonso oyo oyebisi ngai.
6 And she goes down [to] the threshing-floor, and does according to all that her mother-in-law commanded her
Bongo Rite akendeki na etando mpe asalaki makambo nyonso oyo mama-bokilo na ye ayebisaki ye.
7 And Boaz eats and drinks, and his heart is glad; and he goes in to lie down at the end of the heap; and she comes in gently, and uncovers his feet, and lies down.
Tango Boazi asilisaki kolia mpe komela, motema na ye ezalaki na esengo; akendeki kolala na suka ya mipiku ya orje. Bongo Rite apusanaki malembe-malembe, alongolaki elamba oyo ezipaki makolo ya Boazi mpe amilalisaki wana.
8 And it comes to pass, at the middle of the night, that the man trembles, and turns himself, and behold, a woman is lying at his feet.
Na kati-kati ya butu, tango Boazi ayokaki malili, aminyololaki mpe amonaki mwasi alali na makolo na ye.
9 And he says, “Who [are] you?” And she says, “I [am] Ruth your handmaid, and you have spread your skirt over your handmaid, for you [are] a redeemer.”
Atunaki ye: — Yo ozali nani? Azongisaki: — Ezali ngai Rite, mwasi mosali na yo. Tanda songe ya elamba na yo kino epai na ngai, pamba te ozali na ndingisa ya kosikola.
10 And he says, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH, my daughter; you have dealt more kindly at the latter end than at the beginning—not to go after the young men, either poor or rich.
Boazi azongiselaki ye: — Tika ete Yawe apambola yo, mwana na ngai ya mwasi! Bosembo oyo otalisi sik’oyo, ezali monene koleka bosembo oyo otalisaki liboso; pamba te otambolaki te sima na bilenge mibali, ezala bazwi to babola.
11 And now, my daughter, do not fear, all that you say I do to you, for all the gate of my people knows that you [are] a virtuous woman.
Mpe sik’oyo mwana na ngai ya mwasi, kobanga te; nakosalela yo nyonso oyo okosenga, pamba te bato nyonso ya esika oyo bayebi ete ozali mwasi ya malonga.
12 And now, surely, true, that I [am] a redeemer, but also there is a redeemer nearer than I.
Sik’oyo, atako solo nazali na ndingisa ya kosikola, kasi ezali na mosikoli mosusu oyo azali pene na yo koleka ngai.
13 Lodge tonight, and it has been in the morning, if he redeems you, well: he redeems; and if he does not delight to redeem you, then I have redeemed you—I; YHWH lives! Lie down until the morning.”
Boye, lekisa butu awa; bongo lobi na tongo, tokotala soki moto yango akolinga kosikola yo. Soki akolinga, wana tika ye asikola yo; kasi soki aboyi, nalaki yo na Kombo na Yawe ete ngai nakosikola yo. Boye liboso ete tongo etana, lala awa.
14 And she lies down at his feet until the morning, and rises before one discerns another; and he says, “Let it not be known that the woman has come into the floor.”
Boye Rite alalaki na makolo na ye mpe alamukaki na tongo-tongo, wana molili ezalaki nanu kopekisa bato komonana malamu; pamba te Boazi alobaki: « Moto moko te ayeba ete mwasi moko ayaki na etando oyo. »
15 And he says, “Give the covering which [is] on you, and keep hold on it”; and she keeps hold on it, and he measures six [measures] of barley, and lays [it] on her; and he goes into the city.
Liboso ete akende, Boazi ayebisaki ye: « Pesa ngai elamba oyo olati, simba yango malamu. » Wana Rite asimbaki yango malamu, Boazi atielaki ye bakilo pene tuku mibale ya orje mpe asungaki ye mpo na kotombola mpe kotia yango na moto. Mpe Rite azongaki na engumba.
16 And she comes to her mother-in-law, and she says, “Who [are] you, my daughter?” And she declares to her all that the man has done to her.
Tango Rite akomaki epai ya mama-bokilo na ye, Naomi atunaki ye: — Mwana na ngai ya mwasi, makambo eleki ndenge nini? Boye Rite ayebisaki ye makambo oyo Boazi asalaki mpo na ye.
17 And she says, “These six [measures] of barley he has given to me, for he said, You do not go in empty to your mother-in-law.”
Mpe abakisaki: « Apesaki ngai kutu bakilo tuku mibale ya orje oyo, pamba te ayebisaki ngai: ‹ Kozonga maboko pamba te epai ya mama-bokilo na yo. › »
18 And she says, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter falls, for the man does not rest except he has completed the matter today.”
Bongo Naomi alobaki na ye: — Sik’oyo mwana na ngai ya mwasi, vanda awa kino okomona ndenge makambo oyo ekosuka; pamba te mobali wana akozala na kimia te kino akosilisa likambo oyo, kaka na mokolo ya lelo.
