Ruth 2
1 Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Nawomi yalina mulamu we, ng’ava mu kika kya bba, Erimereki, nga mugagga, erinnya lye nga ye Bowaazi.
2 Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor." She said to her, "Go, my daughter."
Awo Luusi Omumowaabu n’agamba Nawomi nti, “Ka ŋŋende mu nnimiro okulonda ebirimba bya sayiri, ngoberere oyo anankwatirwa ekisa.” Nawomi n’amuddamu nti, “Genda, muwala wange.”
3 She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
Amangwago, n’agenda, n’atandika okulonda mu nnimiro abakunguzi we bayise. Awo ne yesanga ng’atuuse mu nnimiro ya Bowaazi, ow’omu kika kya Erimereki.
4 Look, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you." They answered him, "The LORD bless you."
Mu kiseera kye kimu Bowaazi n’atuuka okuva e Besirekemu, n’agamba abakunguzi be nti, “Mukama Katonda abeere nammwe.” Nabo ne bamuddamu nti, “Naawe Mukama Katonda akuwe omukisa.”
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"
Awo Bowaazi n’abuuza nampala wa bakunguzi be nti, “Omuwala ono w’ani?”
6 The servant who was set over the reapers answered, "It is the Moabite woman who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
N’amuddamu nti, “Ono ye muwala Omumowaabu eyajja ne Nawomi okuva e Mowaabu.
7 She said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little in the house."
Atwegayiridde alondelonde abakunguzi we bayise mu binywa, era asiibye akola okuva obw’enkya okutuusa essaawa eno, okuggyako akabanga akatono ke yawumuddemu.”
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field, and do not go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
Awo Bowaazi n’agamba Luusi nti, “Wuliriza, muwala ggwe. Togendanga n’olondanga mu nnimiro endala yonna, tovanga mu eno, naye obeeranga wamu nabaweereza bange abawala.
9 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven't I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn."
Gendereranga ennimiro basajja bange mwe bamaze okukungula, era ogobererenga abawala. Abasajja mbalagidde obutakutawanya. Era ennyonta bw’ekulumanga, onywenga ku mazzi abasajja ge basenye.”
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?"
Awo Luusi bwe yawulira ebyo, n’avuunama ku ttaka, ng’agamba nti, “Ng’ondaze ekisa mu maaso go, n’onfaako nze, munnaggwanga.”
11 Boaz answered her, "It has fully been shown to me, all that you have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn't know before.
Naye Bowaazi n’addamu nti, “By’okoledde nnyazaala wo kasookedde balo afa, ne bwe waleka kitaawo ne nnyoko era n’abantu bo n’ojja mu nsi ey’abantu botomanyi, babintegezezza byonna.
12 May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."
Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri gwe weeyuna wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bye, akusasule olw’ebyo by’okoze. MukamaKatonda wa Isirayiri, oyo gwe weewagamye wansi w’ebiwawaatiro bye, akuwe empeera ennene ddala.”
13 Then she said, "Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens."
Awo Luusi n’addamu nti, “Nneeyongere okulaba ekisa mu maaso go mukama wange, kubanga oyogedde ebigambo ebyekisa eri omuweereza wo era emmeeme yange ogizizza mu nteeko wadde nga sigwanira kuba omu ku baweereza bo.”
14 At meal time Boaz said to her, "Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar." She sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it.
Ekiseera ekyokulya bwe kyatuuka, Bowaazi n’agamba Luusi nti, “Jjangu okoze omugaati gwo mu wayini akatuuse.” Awo Luusi bwe yatuula wansi, Bowaazi n’amuwa sayiri ensiike, n’alya, n’akkuta, n’emulemera nawo.
15 When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not humiliate her.
Oluvannyuma ng’okulya kuwedde, n’agolokoka agende alonde, era Bowaazi n’alagira abaddu be nti, “Ne bw’anaalonda mu binywa temumugaana.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her."
Wakiri, mumuleke yerondere mu miganda so temumuwuuna.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
Awo Luusi n’alonda mu nnimiro okutuuka akawungeezi, oluvannyuma n’awuula ne sayiri gye yali akuŋŋaanyizza, n’aweza nga kilo kkumi na ssatu.
18 She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.
Yonna n’agyetikka, n’agitwala mu kibuga, ne nnyazaala we n’agiraba. Era yamuleetera ne ku mmere gye yali afissizzaawo.
19 Her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you." She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz."
Nnyazaala we yasanyuka nnyo, era n’amubuuza nti, “Wakoze mu nnimiro y’ani leero? Aweebwe omukisa oyo akukwatiddwa ekisa!” Awo Luusi n’abuulira nnyazaala we nannyini nnimiro mwe yakoze, n’erinnya ly’omwami nga ye Bowaazi.
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of the LORD, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead." Naomi said to her, "The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen."
Nawomi namugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda atalekanga kulaga kisa eri abalamu n’abafu, amuwe omukisa. Anti omusajja oyo muganda waffe ddala, era y’omu ku banunuzi baffe ddala.”
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, "He even said to me, 'You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'"
Luusi Omumowaabu n’ayongerako nti, “N’okuŋŋamba yaŋŋambye nti nkolere wamu n’abakozi be okutuusa lwe balimala eby’okukungula bye.”
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field."
Awo Nawomi n’agamba Luusi muka mwana we nti, “Kijja kuba kirungi nnyo muwala wange, okubeeranga kumpi nabaweereza be abakazi, kubanga singa onoogenda mu nnimiro y’omulala akabi kayinza okukutuukako.”
23 So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
Awo Luusi n’abeeranga kumpi n’abaweereza ba Bowaazi ng’alonda okutuusa amakungula ga sayiri n’eŋŋaano bwe gaggwa, n’abeeranga wamu ne nnyazaala we.
