< 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.
Na he whanaunga to Naomi, ara to tana tahu, he tangata taonga nui, no te hapu o Erimereke; ko Poaha tona ingoa.
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."
Na ka mea a Rutu Moapi ki a Naomi, Kia haere ahau ki te mara ki te hamu i nga puku parei i muri i te tangata e manakohia mai ai ahau. Ano ra ko tera, Haere, e taku tamahine.
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.
Na haere ana ia, a, no te taenga atu, ka hamu i te mara i muri i nga kaikokoti: a tupono noa ia ko te wahi o te mara i a Poaha o te hapu o Erimereke.
4 Look, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you." They answered him, "The LORD bless you."
Na ko te taenga o Poaha i Peterehema, ka mea ki nga kaikokoti, Kia noho a Ihowa ki a koutou. Ano ra ko ratou ki a ia, Kia manaakitia koe e Ihowa.
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"
Katahi ka mea a Poaha ki tana tangata i tohutohu nei i nga kaikokoti, Na wai tenei kotiro?
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.
Na ka whakahoki te kaitohutohu i nga kaikokoti, ka mea, Ko te kotiro Moapi tenei i hoki tahi mai nei raua ko Naomi i te whenua o Moapa;
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."
I mea mai hoki ia, Tukua ahau kia hamu, kia kohikohi i roto i nga paihere, i muri i nga kaikokoti: heoi haere ana ia, a i konei tonu ia o te ata iho ano a tae mai ki naianei; he iti nei tona noho i te whare.
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.
Na ka mea a Poaha ki a Rutu, E kore ranei koe e rongo mai, e taku tamahine? Kaua e haere ki tetahi mara ke hamu ai; kaua ano e haere atu i konei; engari me noho tonu ki konei, ki aku kotiro.
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."
Kia matatau ou kanohi ki te mara e kotia ana e ratou, ka whai i a ratou: kahore ianei ahau i ki atu ki nga taitamariki kia kaua ratou e pa ki a koe? E matewai hoki koe, haere ki nga oko, inu ai i ta nga taitamariki i utu mai ai.
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?"
Na ka tapapa iho tera, ka piko iho ki te whenua, a ka mea ki a ia, Na te aha koe i manako mai ai ki ahau, i mohio ai hoki ki ahau, he manene nei hoki ahau?
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.
Na ka whakahoki a Poaha, ka mea ki a ia, Kua ata korerotia mai ki ahau nga mea katoa i mea ai koe ki tou hungawai i muri i te matenga o tau tahu, tau whakarerenga hoki i tou papa, i tou whaea, i te whenua ano i whanau ai koe, a haere mai ana ki te iwi kihai i mohiotia e koe i mua ake nei.
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."
Ma Ihowa e utu tau mahi; kia ata rite hoki te utu e homai ki a koe e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, kua tae mai nei hoki koe ki raro ki ona parirau okioki ai.
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."
Ano ra ko tera, Kia manakohia mai ahau, e toku ariki; ka ora nei hoki toku ngakau i a koe, he pai hoki tau kupu ki tau pononga; ko ahau ia kahore e rite ki tetahi o au pononga wahine.
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.
I mea ano a Poaha ki a ia i te wa i kai ai, Haere mai ki konei, ki te kai taro mau, ka tuku hoki i tau kongakonga ki roto ki te winika. Na ka noho ia ki te taha o nga kaikokoti, i homai ano e ratou he witi pahuhu mana. Na kai ana ia, a ka makona, a toe ake.
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.
A, i tona whakatikanga ki te hamu, ka ako a Poaha i ana taitamariki, ka mea, Kia hamu ano ia i roto i nga paihere; kaua ano hoki ia e meinga kia whakama.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her."
Whakangahorotia ano etahi kapunga mana, whakarerea atu kia kohia e ia, kaua hoki e riria.
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.
Na ka hamu ia i te mara a ahiahi noa, a patupatu ana e ia ana i hamu ai: a me te mea kotahi te epa parei.
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.
Na tangohia ana e ia, a haere ana ki te pa, a ka kite tona hungawai i ana i hamu ai: i whakaputainga ano e ia, i homai ki a ia nga toenga i a ia kua makona.
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."
Na ka mea tona hungawai ki a ia, I hamu koe ki hea inaianei? I hea hoki koe e mahi ana? kia manaakitia te tangata i mohio na ki a koe. Na korerotia ana e ia ki tona hungawai te tangata i mahi nei ia ki a ia, a ka mea, Ko te ingoa o te tangata i mahi nei ahau ki a ia inaianei ko Poaha.
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."
Ano ra ko Naomi ki tana hunaonga, Kia manaakitia ia e Ihowa, kihai nei tona aroha i mahue ki te hunga ora, ki te hunga mate. Na ka mea a Naomi ki a ia, He tata taua tangata ki a taua, no o taua whanaunga tupu.
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.'"
Na ka mea ano a Rutu Moapi, I mea mai ano hoki ia ki ahau, Kia tata tonu koe ki aku tangata, kia poto ra ano aku mea katoa te kokoti.
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."
Na ka mea a Naomi ki a Rutu, ki tana hunaonga, He pai, e taku tamahine, ki te haere tahi koe me ana kotiro, kei riria koe i te mara ke.
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.
Na kei te whai tonu ia i nga kotiro a Poaha, ka hamu a poto noa nga parei te kokoti, me te witi hoki te kokoti; i tona hungawai ia tona nohoanga.
