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 rĩrĩ, Naomi nĩarĩ na mũndũ wa mbarĩ yao mwena wa mũthuuriwe, kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Elimeleku, mũndũ warĩ igweta, wetagwo Boazu.
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."
Nake Ruthu ũcio Mũmoabi akĩĩra Naomi atĩrĩ, “Reke thiĩ mĩgũnda-inĩ ngahaare cairi ĩrĩa ĩtigĩtio; ndĩ thuutha wa mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ingĩĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ make.” Nake Naomi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, mwarĩ wakwa.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiumagara agĩthiĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũhaara cairi kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ arĩ thuutha wa arĩa maagethaga. Na gũgĩkinya atĩrĩ, Ruthu ekorire akĩruta wĩra mũgũnda wa Boazu, ũcio warĩ wa mũhĩrĩga wa Elimeleku.
4 Look, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "YHWH be with you." They answered him, "YHWH bless you."
O hĩndĩ ĩyo Boazu agĩkinya oimĩte Bethilehemu, na akĩgeithia acio maagethaga, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova aroikara na inyuĩ!” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova arokũrathima!”
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"
Boazu akĩũria mũrũgamĩrĩri wa acio maagethaga atĩrĩ, “Mũirĩtu ũũrĩa nĩ wa ũ?”
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.
Nake mũrũgamĩrĩri akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Mũmoabi ũrĩa wokire na Naomi kuuma bũrũri wa Moabi.
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."
Nake oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndagũthaitha ũnjĩtĩkĩrie haare cairi, na nyũnganie ĩrĩa ĩtigĩtio itĩĩa-inĩ ndĩ thuutha wa agethi.’ Nake aathiĩ mũgũnda, na arutĩte wĩra ategũtigithĩria kuuma o rũciinĩ nginya rĩu, tiga o ihinda inini ekũhurũkĩte haarĩa kĩĩruru-inĩ.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Boazu akĩĩra Ruthu atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ wakwa, ta thikĩrĩria, ndũgathiĩ kũhaara cairi mũgũnda ũngĩ, na ndũkae kuuma gũkũ. Ikara gũkũ mũrĩ na ndungata ciakwa cia airĩtu.
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."
Ũrorage mũgũnda ũrĩa arũme aya megũkorwo makĩgetha, na ũtwaranage na airĩtu acio. Nĩndakaania arũme aya matigakũhutie. Na rĩrĩa rĩothe ũngĩnyoota, ũthiĩ ũnyue maaĩ kuuma ndigithũ-inĩ iria arũme aya matahĩrĩire.”
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?"
Rĩrĩa Ruthu aiguire ũguo, akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ maku na wenda kũnjĩka maũndũ mega, ndĩ o mũndũ wa kũngĩ?”
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.
Boazu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩĩrĩtwo maũndũ marĩa mothe wĩkĩte nyaciaraguo kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũthuuriguo aakuire, na ũrĩa watiganire na thoguo na nyũkwa, o na bũrũri wanyu, ũgĩũka kũrĩ andũ ũtaamenyanĩte nao mbere ĩyo.
12 May YHWH repay your work, and a full reward be given you from YHWH, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."
Jehova arokũrĩha nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo wĩkĩte. Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, o ũrĩa wee ũũkĩte kwĩhitha mathagu-inĩ make, arokũrĩha na irĩhi inene.”
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."
Nake Ruthu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, ndĩrookĩrĩrĩria gwĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ maku. Nĩũũhooreretie, na ũkaarĩria ndungata yaku ndeto njega cia tha, o na gũtuĩka niĩ ndirĩ ta ũmwe wa ndungata ciaku cia airĩtu.”
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.
Hĩndĩ ya kũrĩa irio yakinya, Boazu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka haha. Oya mũgate ũũtobokie thiki-inĩ ya ndibei.” Rĩrĩa Ruthu aikarire thĩ na agethi, Boazu akĩmũhe cairi hĩhie. Nake akĩrĩa akĩhũũna, o nginya agĩtigia.
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.
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ookĩrire akahaare-rĩ, Boazu agĩatha andũ ake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na ahaara kũu itĩĩa-inĩ, mũtikamũtetie.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her."
O na nĩ kaba mũrutage cairi ĩmwe kuuma itĩĩa-inĩ, mũmĩrekie thĩ nĩ ũndũ wake, mũmũtigĩre nĩguo oke akĩmĩhaaraga, no mũtikamũtetie.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ruthu akĩhaara kũu mũgũnda ũcio nginya o hwaĩ-inĩ. Agĩcooka akĩhũũra cairi ĩrĩa aahaarĩte, ĩgĩkinyia mũigana wa eba ĩmwe.
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.
Akĩmĩkuua, agĩcooka itũũra-inĩ, nake nyaciarawe akĩona cairi ĩrĩa yothe aahaarĩte. Ruthu agĩcooka akĩmũrutĩra kĩrĩa aatigĩtie aahũũna, akĩmũnengera.
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."
Nyaciarawe akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ uuma kũhaara kũ? Uuma kũruta wĩra kũ? Kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũcio ũkũmenyire, agwĩka maũndũ mega!” Nake Ruthu akĩhe nyaciarawe ũhoro ũkoniĩ mwene mũgũnda ũcio aatindĩte akĩruta wĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwene mũgũnda ũcio ngũrutaga wĩra gwake ũmũthĩ-rĩ, etagwo Boazu.”
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of YHWH, 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."
Naomi akĩĩra mũtumia ũcio wa mũriũ atĩrĩ, “Jehova aromũrathima! We ndatigĩte gwĩka maũndũ ma ũtugi kũrĩ arĩa me muoyo, o na arĩa makuĩte.” Ningĩ Naomi akĩĩra Ruthu atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio nĩ wa mbarĩ iitũ; o na nĩ ũmwe wa arĩa mangĩtũmenyerera.”
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.'"
Nake Ruthu ũcio Mũmoabi akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na anjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Ikara na aruti akwa a wĩra o nginya marĩkie kũgetha cairi yakwa yothe.’”
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."
Naomi akĩĩra Ruthu ũcio mũtumia wa mũriũ atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio wa gũtwarana na airĩtu ake nĩũgũtuĩka mwega harĩwe, wee mwarĩ wakwa, tondũ mũgũnda-inĩ wa mũndũ ũngĩ wahota kũgerwo ngero.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ruthu agĩikara hakuhĩ na ndungata cia airĩtu cia Boazu akĩhaaraga nginya magetha ma cairi na ma ngano magĩthira. Nake agĩtũũra na nyaciarawe.
