< Ruth 2 >

1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
Naomi ne nigi watne moro ma jadala gi chwore, mane wuok e anywola joka Elimelek, mane nyinge Boaz. Boaz ne en ngʼama idewo momi luor.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
Kendo Ruth nyar Moab nowachone Naomi niya, “Yiena mondo adhi e puothe mondo ahul cham ma jokeyo oweyo, e puoth ngʼato angʼata manyalo timona ngʼwono.” Naomi nowachone niya, “Dhi adhiya, nyara.”
3 And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on the portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
Omiyo nowuok modhi kendo nochako hulo e puothe bangʼ jokeyo. To nopo nono ni otiyo mana e puoth Boaz, mane wuok e anywola mar Elimelek.
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.
E kindeno Boaz nochopo koa Bethlehem, kendo nomoso jokeyo niya, “Jehova Nyasaye obed kodu!” Jokeyo bende nomose niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhi.”
5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? r
Boaz nopenjo nyapara mar tich mane rito jokeyogo niya, “Dhako ma pod tin cha en mar ngʼa?”
6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
Nyaparano nodwoko niya, “En nyar Moab manyocha odwogo gi Naomi koa e piny Moab.
7 And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, save that she tarried a little in the house.
Nokwayowa ni, ‘Yienauru ahul kendo achok cham modongʼ e dier tiangʼ moseka ma jokeyo oweyo bangʼ-gi.’ Nodonjo e puodho kendo koro osetiyo ma ok oywe, chakre okinyi nyaka sani, makmana kuom thuolo matin mane oyweyogo ei kiru.”
8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.
Kuom mano Boaz nowachone Ruth niya, “Nyara, winj gima anyisi. Kik koro idhi ihul cham e puodho machielo kendo kik ia ka. Bed ka kod nyiri matiyona.
9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
Rit puodho ma ji keyoe, kendo lu bangʼ joma nyiri. Asenyiso joma chwo ni kik gimuli. Kendo sa asaya ma riyo oloyie to dhi imodhi e dopige ma jogi osepongʼo gi pi.”
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thy sight, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
Kane Ruth owinjo wechegi, nokulore piny e nyim Boaz. Nowuoyo kowuoro niya, “Angʼo momiyo aseyudo ngʼwono machal kama e nyim wangʼi, an japiny moro nono?”
11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
Boaz nodwoko niya, “Osenyisa gik moko duto misetimone wuon odu chakre chiengʼ mane chwori othoe; kaka niweyo wuonu gi minu gi thuru kendo nibiro mondo idag gi joma ne ok ingʼeyo chon.
12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.
Mad Jehova Nyasaye chuli kuom gima isetimo. Mad Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel, misebiro mondo ipondi e bwo bwombene, ogwedhi gi gweth mogundho.”
13 Then she said, Let me find grace in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly unto thine handmaid, though I be not as one of thine handmaidens.
Ruth nowacho niya, “Mad amed yudo ngʼwono e nyim wangʼi, yaye ruodha. Isehoya kendo isewuoyo gi ngʼwono ne jatichni; kata obedo ni an dhano adhana ma ok nyal pim kata gi achiel kuom jotijegi ma nyiri.”
14 And at meal-time Boaz said unto her, Come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and they reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left thereof.
Kane sa chiemo ochopo, Boaz nowachone niya, “Bi ka ichiem. Kaw makati mondo iluti e divai makech.” Kane obet piny gi jokeyo, ne omiye ondelo moko. Ne ochiemo moyiengʼ mi chiemo moko nodongʼ.
15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not.
Kane oa malo mondo ochak hulo, Boaz nomiyo joge chik niya, “Kata kapo ni ochoko kogolo kuom cham mapok oka, to kik uchande.
16 And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and rebuke her not.
Kar chande to golneuru cham moko mapok oka kuonde mochung-gie kendo uwene mondo oka odhigo, kendo kik utame.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
Omiyo Ruth nohulo e puodho nyaka odhiambo. Eka bangʼe notengʼo cham mar shairi mane osechoko, kendo ne oromo debe achiel.
18 And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave to her that she had left after she was sufficed.
Ne otingʼe motere nyaka dala, kendo wuon odgi noneno kar romb cham mane ochoko. Bende Ruth noterone chiemo mane ochamo odongʼ.
19 And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned today? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought today is Boaz.
Wuon odgi nopenje niya, “Kawuono ne ihulo kanye? Ne itiyo kanye? Ogwedh ngʼat mane iyudo motimoni maberni!” Eka Ruth nonyiso wuon odgi kuom ngʼat mane otiyo e puothe chiengʼno. Nowacho niya, “Ngʼat mane atiyo e puothe kawono iluongo ni Boaz.”
20 And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is nigh of kin unto us, one of our near kinsmen.
Naomi nowachone chi wuode niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhe. Pok oweyo nyiso ngʼwonone ne joma ngima kod joma otho.” Nomedo wuoyo kowacho niya, “Ngʼat mosetimoni maberno en watwa hie, machiegni kodwa.”
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yea, he said unto me, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
Eka Ruth nyar Moab nowacho niya, “Bende nowacho ni, ‘Bed kaachiel gi jotichna ma nyiri nyaka chop gitiek kayo chamba duto.’”
22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they meet thee not in any other field.
Naomi nokone Ruth chi wuode niya, “Nyara, biro bedoni maber ka idhi ibedo kaachiel gi nyige, nikech kidhi e puoth ngʼat moro machielo, to gimoro marach nyalo hinyi.”
23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother in law.
Kuom mano, Ruth nobet machiegni gi jotich Boaz ma nyiri kohulo nyaka chop keyo mar shairi gi mar ngano norumo. Kindeno duto Ruth nodak gi wuon odgi.
