Ruth 3
1 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
Da bi Naomi ka kyerɛɛ Rut se, “Me babea, bere adu sɛ mehwehwɛ ofi a wobɛtena mu na wubenya nea ehia wo biara.
2 Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Look, he winnows barley tonight at the threshing floor.
Boas yɛ yɛn busuani pɛɛ na wayɛ adɔe mmoroso sɛ wama wo ne nʼadwumayɛfo aboaboa atoko ano. Anadwo yi, obehuhuw atoko so wɔ awiporowbea hɔ.
3 Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, and put on your clothes, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
Enti yɛ nea merekyerɛ wo yi. Guare na tutu aduhuam gu wo ho na fa wo ntade pa bi hyɛ. Afei, kɔ awiporowbea hɔ, nanso mma Boas nhu wo kosi sɛ obedidi awie.
4 It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall do."
Hwɛ na hu baabi a ɔda hɔ yiye, afei, kɔ na koyi ne nan ho nkataho na da hɔ. Ɔbɛka nea ɔpɛ sɛ woyɛ akyerɛ wo.”
5 She said to her, "All that you say I will do."
Rut kae se, “Biribiara a wobɛka akyerɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, mɛyɛ.”
6 She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her.
Enti ɔkɔɔ awiporowbea hɔ anadwo no, na ɔyɛɛ nea nʼase kyerɛɛ no no mu biara.
7 When Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came quietly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
Boas didi wiee no a ne honhom aba ne ho no, ɔkyeaa ne ho too atoko mmoano no ho, na ɔfaa mu dae. Rut yɛɛ nwaa koyii ne nan ho nkataho na ɔdaa hɔ.
8 It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned over; and look, a woman lay at his feet.
Anadwo dasum no, Boas bɔɔ pitiri dan ne ho. Ɛyɛɛ no nwonwa sɛ ohuu sɛ ɔbea da ne nan ase.
9 He said, "Who are you?" She answered, "I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your handmaid; for you are a redeeming kinsman."
Obisae se, “Na hena ni?” Obuae se, “Ɛyɛ me wo somfo Rut. Trɛw wo nkataso no mu kakra gu me so na woyɛ mʼabusua gyefo.”
10 He said, "Blessed are you by Jehovah, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, whether poor or rich.
Na Boas kae se, “Awurade nhyira wo, me babea! Worekyerɛ abusua dɔ a bi mmaa da sɛ woankodi aberantewa bi akyi, sɛ ɔwɔ sika anaa ɔyɛ ohiani.
11 Now, my daughter, do not be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.
Afei, me babea, mma hwee nhaw wo. Mɛyɛ nea ehia wo nyinaa. Me kurow yi mu nnipa nyinaa nim sɛ woyɛ ɔbea a wudi wo ho ni.
12 Now it is true that I am a redeeming kinsman; however there is a redeemer closer than I am.
Nanso akwanside baako wɔ hɔ. Ɛyɛ nokware turodoo sɛ meyɛ mo abusua agyefo mu baako de, nanso ɔbarima foforo bi wɔ hɔ a ɔyɛ obusuani titiriw sen me.
13 Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a redeemer, well; let him do the redeemer's part. But if he will not do the part of a redeemer for you, then I will do the part of a redeemer for you, as Jehovah lives. Lie down until the morning."
Tena ha anadwo yi na sɛ ade kye a, me ne no bɛkasa. Sɛ ɛyɛ ne pɛ sɛ obegye wo a, ɛno de ma ho kwan na ɔnware wo. Na sɛ ɛnyɛ ne pɛ nso a, ɛno de, ɔkwan biara so, sɛ Awurade te ase yi, mɛware wo! Enti da ha ma ade nkye.”
14 She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."
Enti Rut daa ne nan ho kosii adekyee nanso ɔsɔree ansa na anim tetew. Na Boas ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ obi hu sɛ ɔbea bi bɛdaa awiporowbea ha.”
15 He said, "Bring the cloak that is on you, and hold it." She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he went into the city.
Boas toaa so kae se, “Fa wʼatade nguguso no bra na trɛw mu.” Ɔsesaw atoko no susukoraa asia guu mu na ɔboaa no ma ɔde hyɛɛ nʼakyi. Na Boas san kɔɔ kurow no mu.
16 When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did it go, my daughter?" She told her all that the man had done to her.
Rut baa nʼase Naomi nkyɛn no, obisaa no se, “Me babea, ekosii dɛn?” Rut kaa biribiara a Boas yɛ maa no no kyerɛɛ Naomi,
17 She said, "He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said to me, 'Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"
na ɔtoaa so se, “Ɔmaa me atoko susukoraa asia kae se, ‘Mfa nsapan nkɔ wʼase nkyɛn.’”
18 Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day."
Afei, Naomi kae se, “Me ba, twɛn kosi sɛ wubehu nea ebesi. Ɔbarima no renna so kosi sɛ asɛm no besi nnɛ yi ara.”
