< 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?
Ní ọjọ́ kan, Naomi, ìyá ọkọ Rutu wí fún un pé, “Ọmọbìnrin mi, ǹjẹ́ kò yẹ kí èmi bá ọ wá ilé ọkọ mìíràn, níbi tí wọn yóò ti le è máa tọ́jú rẹ?
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!
Wò ó, Boasi ọkùnrin nì tí ìwọ bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ ṣiṣẹ́, tí í ṣe ìbátan wa, yóò wá láti fẹ́ ọkà barle ní ilẹ̀ ìpakà rẹ̀ ní àṣálẹ́ yìí.
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.
Wẹ̀, kí o sì fi ìpara olóòórùn dídùn pa ara rẹ, kí o sì wọ aṣọ rẹ tí ó dára jùlọ, kí o sì lọ sí ilẹ̀ ìpakà tí ó gbé ń pa ọkà, ṣùgbọ́n má ṣe jẹ́ kí ó mọ̀ pé o wà níbẹ̀ títí tí yóò fi jẹ tí yóò sì mu tán.
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.
Rí í dájú pé o mọ ibi tí ó sùn sí, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó bá ti sùn, lọ kí o ṣí aṣọ ìbora rẹ̀ níbi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ sókè kí o sì sùn sí ibi ẹsẹ̀ náà. Òun yóò sì sọ ohun tí ìwọ yóò ṣe fún ọ.”
5 And she said unto her, —All that thou sayest, will I do.
Rutu sì fèsì pé, “Gbogbo ohun tí ìwọ sọ fún mi ni èmi yóò ṣe.”
6 So she went down to the threshing-floor, —and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Rutu lọ sí ilẹ̀ ìpakà tí ó sì ṣe gbogbo ohun tí ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀ sọ fún un, pé kí o ṣe.
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.
Nígbà tí Boasi parí jíjẹ àti mímu tán, tí ọkàn rẹ̀ sì kún fún ayọ̀. Ó lọ, ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ ní ẹ̀yìn ọkà tí wọ́n kójọ. Rutu yọ́ kẹ́lẹ́kẹ́lẹ́ lọ sí ibẹ̀, ó ṣí aṣọ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ sókè, ó sì sùn sí ibi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Ó sì ṣe nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà tají ní àárín òru, ẹ̀rù bà á, ó sì yí ara padà, ó sì ṣàkíyèsí obìnrin kan tí ó sùn sí ibi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Ó sì béèrè pé, “Ta ni ìwọ í ṣe?” Rutu sì fèsì wí pé, “Èmi ni Rutu, ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ. Da etí aṣọ rẹ bò mí, nítorí pé ìwọ ni ìbátan tí ó le è rà mí padà.”
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.
Boasi sì wí fún un pé, “Kí Olúwa bùkún fún ọ, ọmọbìnrin mi. Ìfẹ́ tí o fihàn yí ti pọ̀ ju ti àtẹ̀yìnwá lọ, bí ó ti jẹ́ wí pé ìwọ kò lọ láti wá àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin bóyá ọlọ́rọ̀ tàbí tálákà.
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.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ìwọ ọmọbìnrin mi, má bẹ̀rù. Èmi yóò sì ṣe ohun gbogbo tí o béèrè fún ọ. Gbogbo ènìyàn ni ó mọ̀ ọ́n ní obìnrin oníwà rere.
12 And, now, although it is true that, a kinsman, am I, yet is there a kinsman nearer than I.
Nítòótọ́ ni mo wí pé èmi jẹ́ ìbátan tí ó súnmọ́ ọ, ṣùgbọ́n ìbátan kan wà tí ó súnmọ́ ọ ju ti tèmi lọ.
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.
Dúró síbí títí ilẹ̀ yóò fi mọ́, bí ó bá sì di òwúrọ̀ tí ọkùnrin náà sì ṣe tan láti ṣe ìràpadà, ó dára kí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè nígbà náà ni èmi yóò ṣe ìràpadà, sùn sí ìhín títí ilẹ̀ yóò fi mọ́.”
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.
Ó sì sùn ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ títí di òwúrọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó dìde ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù kí ẹnìkínní tó le è dá ẹnìkejì mọ̀. Boasi sì sọ fún un wí pé, “Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ó di mí mọ̀ wí pé obìnrin kan wá sí ilẹ̀ ìpakà.”
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.
Ó sì tún wí fún un pé, “Mú aṣọ ìborùn rẹ tí o dà bora, kí o tẹ̀ ẹ sílẹ̀.” Rutu sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, Boasi sì wọn òsùwọ̀n ọkà barle mẹ́fà sí i, ó sì gbé e rù ú. Nígbà náà ni ó padà sí ìlú.
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.
Nígbà tí Rutu dé ilé Naomi ìyá ọkọ sì bí léèrè pé, “Báwo ni ó ti rí ọmọbìnrin mi?” Nígbà náà ni ó sì sọ gbogbo ohun tí ọkùnrin náà ṣe fún un fún ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀.
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.
Ó fi kún un wí pé, “Ó sọ fún mi wí pé, ‘Má ṣe padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ìyá ọkọ rẹ ní ọwọ́ òfo, nítorí náà, ó fún mi ní ìwọ̀n ọkà barle mẹ́fà.’”
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.
Naomi sì wí fún un pé, “Dúró, ọmọbìnrin mi títí tí ìwọ yóò fi mọ bí ohun gbogbo yóò ti rí, nítorí pé ọkùnrin náà kò ní sinmi títí tí ọ̀rọ̀ náà yóò fi yanjú lónìí.”
