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?
Gaaf tokko Naaʼomiin haati dhirsa ishee akkana isheedhaan jette; “Yaa intala ko, ani akka ati itti boqottuuf mana mijaaʼaa siif barbaaduu hin qabuu?
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!
Boʼeez namichi ati tajaajiltoota isaa dubarran sana wajjin turte sun fira keenya mitii? Inni edana oobdiitti garbuu qulleeffata.
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.
Kanaafuu dhidhiqadhuutii shittoo dibadhu; uffata kee isa bareedaa illee uffadhu. Ergasiis gara oobdichaa dhaqi; inni garuu hamma nyaatee dhugee raawwatutti akka ati achi jirtu hin beekin.
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.
Yeroo inni rafutti iddoo inni rafe hubadhu. Ergasii dhaqiitii wayyaa miilla isaa irraa saaqii ciisi. Innis waan ati gochuu qabdu sitti hima.”
5 And she said unto her, —All that thou sayest, will I do.
Ruutis, “Ani waan ati jettu hunda nan godha” jettee deebifte.
6 So she went down to the threshing-floor, —and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
Kanaafuu Ruut gara oobdii sanaatti gad buutee waan haati dhirsa ishee godhi jetteen hundumaa goote.
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.
Boʼeezis erga nyaatee dhugee gammadee booddee achi fagaatee tuulaa midhaanii bira rafuu dhaqe. Ruutis suuta jettee dhaqxee miilla isaa irraa wayyaa saaqxee rafte.
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.
Halkan walakkaatti wanni tokko namicha rifachiise; innis yommuu of irra garagalee ilaaletti dubartii miilla isaa jala ciiftu tokko arge.
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.
Innis, “Ati eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Isheenis, “Ana Ruut tajaajiltuu kee ti. Ati sababii na dhaaluuf fira dhiʼoo taateef handaara wayyaa keetii narra buusi” jetteen.
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.
Innis deebisee akkana jedheen; “Yaa intala too, Waaqayyo si haa eebbisu; arjummaan kun arjummaa ati kanaan dura goote sana caala; ati dargaggeessa yookaan sooressa yookaan hiyyeessa faana hin deemneetii.
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.
Ammas yaa intala koo hin sodaatin. Ani waan ati gaafattu hunda siif nan godha. Sabni magaalaa koo keessa jiraatu hundi akka ati dubartii amala gaarii qabdu taate ni beeka.
12 And, now, although it is true that, a kinsman, am I, yet is there a kinsman nearer than I.
Akka ani fira dhiʼoo taʼe beekamaa dha; taʼus namni dhaaluudhaaf ana caalaa fira dhiʼoo taʼe jira.
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.
Asuma buli; bori ganama namichi yoo si dhaaluu barbaade gaarii dha; inni si haa dhaalu. Yoo inni si dhaaluu hin barbaanne garuu dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ani sin dhaala. Hamma lafti bariitutti asuma ciisi.”
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.
Kanaafuu isheen hamma lafti bariitutti miilla isaa jala ciifte; garuu utuu namni tokko iyyuu hin beekin dursitee kaate; Boʼeez, “Dubartiin gara oobdii kanaa dhufuun ishee beekamuu hin qabu” jedheeraatii.
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.
Akkasumas, “Wayyaa irraan uffatte ofi irraa fuudhii diriirsii qabi” jedheen. Isheenis ni diriirsite; inni garbuu safartuu jaʼa safaree ishee baachise. Ergasiis gara magaalaatti deebite.
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.
Yommuu Ruut gara haadha dhirsa isheetti deebitetti Naaʼomiin, “Yaa intala ko, wanni sun akkam taʼe?” jettee ishee gaafatte. Isheenis waan Boʼeez isheef godhe hunda itti himte;
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.
itti dabaltees, “‘Gara haadha dhirsa keetti harka duwwaa hin deebiʼin’ jedhee garbuu safartuu jaʼaa kana naa kenne” jetteen.
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.
Naaʼomiin immoo, “Yaa intala ko, hamma waan dhufu argitutti obsi. Namichi hamma dubbiin kun harʼa fala argatutti hin boqotu” isheedhaan jette.
