Ruth 3
1 Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, —My daughter! shall I not seek for thee a place of rest, in which it may be well with thee?
A LAILA, olelo mai o Naomi kona makuahonowaiwahine, E kuu kaikamahine, aole anei au e imi i wahi e hoomaha ai nou, i mea e pomaikai ai oe?
2 Now, therefore, is not, Boaz, of our kindred, with whose maidens thou hast been? Lo! he is winnowing the barley threshing-floor, to-night!
Aole anei no ko kakou hoahanau o Boaza, nona na kaikamahine au i noho pu ai? Aia hoi ke kanana nei ia i ka huabale i keia po ma ke kahua hahi.
3 Thou wilt, therefore, bathe thee, and anoint thee, and put thine apparel upon thee, and go down to the threshing-floor, —do not make thyself known to the man, until he have done eating and drinking.
Nolaila ea, e holoi oe ia oe iho, a e hamo hoi, a e hookomo i kou lole, a e iho oe ilalo i ke kahua; a mai hoike aku oe ia oe iho i ua kanaka la, a pau kana ai ana, a me kana inu ana.
4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he doth lie, and shalt go in and turn aside the covering of his feet, and lay thee down, —and, he, will tell thee what thou shalt do.
Eia hoi kekahi; i ka manawa ana e moe ai, e nana pono oe i kona wahi e moe ana, a e komo aku oe, a e wehe i kona mau kapuwai, a moe iho, a nana no e hai mai ia oe i ka mea au e hana'i.
5 And she said unto her, —All that thou sayest, will I do.
I aku la keia ia ia, O na mea a pau au e kauoha mai nei, e hana no au.
6 So she went down to the threshing-floor, —and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
Iho aku la oia ilalo i ke kahua, a hana iho la e like me na mea a pau a kona makuahonowaiwahine i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
7 And, when Boaz had eaten, and drunk, and his heart was glad, he went in to lie down at the end of the heap of corn. Then came she in softly, and turned aside the covering of his feet, and laid her down.
A ai o Boaza, a inu, a olioli kona naau, alaila, hele aku la ia e moe ma ka welau a ka puu ai; a hele malie mai la ia, a wehe iho la i kona mau kapuwai, a moe iho la.
8 And it came to pass, in the middle of the night, that the man started up, and turned, —and lo! a woman, lying at his feet.
A hiki i ke aumoe, makau iho la ua kanaka la, no ka mea, i kona oni ana, aia hoi he wahine, e moe ana ma kona mau kapuwai.
9 And he said, Who art, thou? And she said, I, am Ruth, thy handmaid, spread, therefore, thy wing over thy handmaid, for, a kinsman, thou art.
I mai la ia, Owai oe? I mai la kela, o Ruta wau, o kau kauwawahine, nolaila ea, e halii mai i kou kapa maluna o kau kauwawahine, no ka mea, o oe no kekahi mea i pili koko.
10 And he said—Blessed, be thou of Yahweh, my daughter, for thou hast made thy last lovingkindness better than the first, —in not following after young men, whether poor, or rich.
I mai la ia, E pomaikai ana oe ia Iehova, e kuu kaikamahine e; no ka mea, ua oi aku kou lokomaikai hope, i ko ka mua, i kou hahai ole ana mahope o na kanaka ui, aole i ka mea hune, aole hoi i ka mea waiwai.
11 Now, therefore, my daughter, do not fear, whatsoever thou shalt say, I will do for thee, —for all the gate of my people doth know, that, a virtuous woman, thou art.
Nolaila ea, mai makau oe, e kuu kaikamahine. O na mea a pau au e olelo mai la, na'u ia e hana aku ia oe; no ka mea, ua ike ko'u poe kanaka a pau, he kaikamahine pono oe.
12 And, now, although it is true that, a kinsman, am I, yet is there a kinsman nearer than I.
He oiaio no, owau ka hoahanau pili ia oe. Eia ae kekahi mea i pili mua aku, he hope au.
13 Tarry the night, and it shall be, in the morning, if he will act as kinsman to thee, well, let him so act, but, if he inclineth not to act as kinsman to thee, then will, I, so act to thee—by the life of Yahweh, —Lie still, until the morning.
I keia po e kakali ai a kakahiaka, alaila, ina nana oe e mare, ua pono, e mare no ia; aka, ina aole ia e makemake e mare mai ia oe, ma ke ola ana o Iehova, na'u oe e mare. E moe oe a kakahiaka.
14 So she lay at his feet, until the morning, and rose up before one could know his neighbour. And he said—Do not let it be known that a woman came into the threshing-floor.
Moe iho la oia ma kona mau kapuwai a kakahiaka. A ala mai la ia mamua o ka wa e hiki ai kekahi ke hoomaopopo i kona hoa. I ae la ia, Mai hai aku i ka hele ana mai o ka wahine i ke kahua hahi.
15 And he said—Bring the cloak that is upon thee, and hold it. So she held it, —and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it upon her, and he went into the city.
I hou aku la ia, Homai ka pale maluna ou, a e paa mai ia mea. A i kona paa ana mai, ana iho la ia i eono ana huabale, a kau aku la maluna ona; a hoi aku la ia i ke kulanakauhale.
16 And, when she came unto her mother-in- law, she said—Who art, thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done for her.
A hiki aku la ia i kona makuahonowaiwahine, ninau mai la kela, Owai oe, e kuu kaikamahine? A hai aku la keia i na mea a pau a ua kanaka la i hana mai ai nana.
17 And she said—These six measures of barley, gave he unto me, —for he said, Do not go in empty, unto thy mother-in- law.
I aku la, O keia mau ana huabale eono kana i haawi mai ai ia'u; no ka mea, olelo mai la ia, Mai hoi nele aku oe i kou makuahonowaiwahine.
18 And she said—Abide, my daughter, until that thou get to know, how the matter will fall out, —for the man will not rest, except he have finished the thing to-day.
Olelo mai la ia, E noho malie oe, e kuu kaikamahine, a ike pono oe i ka hope o keia; no ka mea, aole loa e noho hoomaha kela kanaka, a hoopau pono oia ia mea, i keia la.
