< Ruth 2 >

1 And [belonged] to Naomi (a relative *Q(K)*) of husband her a man mighty of wealth from [the] clan of Elimelech and name his [was] Boaz.
Naomi anali ndi mʼbale wake wolemera kwambiri wochokera ku banja la mwamuna wake Elimeleki, dzina lake Bowazi.
2 And she said Ruth the Moabite [woman] to Naomi let me go please the field (so I may glean *L(ah+b)*) (among the ears of grain *L(abh)*) behind [the one] whom I will find favor in view his and she said to her go O daughter my.
Tsiku lina Rute, Mmowabu uja anati kwa Naomi, “Mundilole kuti ndikakunkhe barele ku munda wa munthu aliyense amene akandikomere mtima.” Naomi anati kwa iye, “Pita mwana wanga.”
3 And she went and she came and she gleaned in the field behind the harvesters and it chanced on chance her [the] portion of the field of Boaz who [was] from [the] clan of Elimelech.
Choncho Rute ananyamuka kupita kukakunkha ku minda yokololedwa kale. Tsono zinangochitika kuti Rute anafika mʼmunda wa Bowazi, yemwe anali wochokera ku banja la Elimeleki.
4 And there! Boaz [was] coming from Beth-lehem and he said to the harvesters Yahweh [be] with you and they said to him may he bless you Yahweh.
Posakhalitsa Bowazi anafika kuchokera ku Betelehemu ndipo analonjera okolola aja kuti, “Yehova akhale nanu!” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Yehova akudalitseni.”
5 And he said Boaz to servant his who was appointed over the harvesters [belongs] to whom? the young woman this.
Bowazi anafunsa kapitawo wake amene ankayangʼanira okolola aja kuti, “Mayi uyo ndi ndani?”
6 And he answered the servant who was appointed over the harvesters and he said [is] a young woman Moabite she who returned with Naomi from [the] region of Moab.
Kapitawo uja anayankha kuti, “Mayiyu ndi Mmowabu amene anabwera ndi Naomi kuchokera ku dziko la Mowabu.
7 And she said let me glean please and I will gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters and she came and she has stayed from then this morning and until now this sitting she the house little.
Iye anandipempha kuti, ‘Chonde mundilole kuti ndikunkhe barele mʼminda moti akololamo kale.’ Iye wakhala akukunkha kuyambira mmawa mpaka tsopano lino osapuma nʼpangʼono pomwe.”
8 And he said Boaz to Ruth ¿ not have you heard O daughter my may not you go to glean in a field another and also not you must pass on from this [field] and thus you will stay! with female servants my.
Choncho Bowazi anati kwa Rute, “Tamvera mwana wanga, usapite kukakunkha mʼmunda wina, ndipo usachoke mʼmunda uno. Koma uzitsata adzakazi angawa.
9 Eyes your [be] on the field which they are harvesting! (and you will go *L(abh)*) behind them ¿ not have I commanded the young men to not to touch you and you will be thirsty and you will go to the vessels and you will drink some of [that] which they will draw! the young men.
Uziyangʼana munda akukolola anyamatawo akamakolola mʼmundamu, ndipo iwe uzitsata pambuyo pawo. Ndawawuza anyamatawo kuti asakuvutitse. Ndipo ukamva ludzu, uzipita ku mitsuko ndi kukamwa madzi amene anyamatawa atunga.”
10 And she fell on face her and she bowed down [the] ground towards and she said to him why? have I found favor in view your to pay regard to me (and I *L(abh)*) [am] a foreigner.
Atamva zimenezi Rute anawerama nazolikitsa nkhope yake pansi. Kenaka anafunsa kuti, “Mwandikomera mtima chotere mlendo ngati ine chifukwa chiyani?”
11 And he answered Boaz and he said to her certainly it has been told to me all that you have done with mother-in-law your after [the] death of husband your and you left (father your *L(abh)*) and mother your and [the] land of kindred your and you came to a people which not you knew yesterday three days ago.
Bowazi anayankha kuti, “Ine ndawuzidwa zonse zimene wakhala ukuchitira apongozi ako chimwalirire mwamuna wako. Ndamvanso kuti unasiya abambo ndi amayi ako komanso dziko la kwanu ndi kubwera kudzakhala ndi anthu amene sumawadziwa ndi kale lonse.
12 May he reward Yahweh deed[s] your and may it be wage[s] your complete from with Yahweh [the] God of Israel whom you have come to take refuge under wings his.
Yehova akubwezere pa zimene wachitazi. Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, amene wabwera pansi pa mapiko ake kuti akuteteze, akupatse mphotho yayikulu.”
13 And she said I am finding favor in view your O lord my for you have comforted me and for you have spoken to [the] heart of maidservant your and I not I am like one of maidservants your.
Rute anati, “Mwandikomera mtima, mbuye wanga. Ndipo mwandisangalatsa ndi kundiyankhula mwa chifundo ngakhale sindili mmodzi mwa adzakazi anu.”
14 And he said to her Boaz to [the] time of the meal approach here and you will eat some of the food and you will dip portion your in the vinegar and she sat down from [the] side of the harvesters and he held out to her roasted grain and she ate and she was satisfied and she had excess.
Nthawi ya chakudya cha masana Bowazi anati kwa iye, “Bwera kuno, utenge buledi ndi kusunsa nthongo mu vinyo.” Choncho anakhala pansi pafupi ndi okololawo, ndipo Bowazi anamupatsa chakudya ndi nyama yowotcha. Anadya chilichonse amafuna ndipo chakudya china chinatsalako.
15 And she arose to glean and he commanded Boaz servants his saying also between the sheaves she will glean and not you must humiliate her.
Atanyamuka kuti azikakunkha, Bowazi analangiza anyamata ake kuti, “Ngakhale mayiyu azikunkha pakati pa mitolo musamuletse ndi kumuchititsa manyazi.
16 And also indeed you will pull out for her some of the bundles of grain and you will leave [them] and she will glean and not you must rebuke her.
Koma muzimusololerako ngala zina za mʼmitolo ndi kumusiyira kuti azikunkha ndipo musamukalipire.”
17 And she gleaned in the field until the evening and she beat out [that] which she had gleaned and it was about an ephah barley.
Choncho Rute anakunkha mʼmundamo mpaka madzulo. Kenaka anapuntha barele anakunkhayo, ndipo anakwanira pafupifupi makilogalamu khumi.
18 And she lifted [it] up and she went the city and she saw mother-in-law her [that] which she had gleaned and she took [it] out and she gave to her [that] which she had left over from abundance her.
Anasenza barele uja kupita naye ku mudzi, nakaonetsa apongozi ake. Kenaka anatulutsa chakudya chimene chinatsalira atakhuta chija ndi kupatsa apongozi ake.
19 And she said to her mother-in-law her where? did you glean this day and where? did you work may he be [the one who] paid regard to you blessed and she told to mother-in-law her whom she had worked with him and she said [the] name of the man whom I worked with him this day [is] Boaz.
Apongozi akewo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi lero unakakunkha kuti? Unakagwira kuti ntchitoyi? Adalitsike munthu amene anakukomera mtimayo.” Ndipo Rute anawuza mpongozi wake za munthu amene ku malo ake anakagwirako ntchito. Iye anati, “Munthuyo dzina lake ndi Bowazi.”
20 And she said Naomi to daughter-in-law her [be] blessed he by Yahweh who not he has forsaken covenant loyalty his with the living and with the dead and she said to her Naomi [is] near to us the man [is] one of kinsman-redeemer[s] our he.
Naomi anati kwa mpongozi wakeyo, “Munthu ameneyu amudalitse Yehova, amene sanasiye kuchitira chifundo anthu amoyo ndi akufa omwe. Anatinso munthu ameneyu ndi mnansi wapaphata. Ndiye ali ndi udindo wotisamalira.”
21 And she said Ruth the Moabite [woman] also - that he said to me with the servants who [belong] to me you will stay! until they have completed all the harvest which [belongs] to me.
Choncho Rute Mmowabuyo anati, “Iye anandiwuzanso kuti, ‘Uzitsata antchito angawa mpaka atamaliza kukolola munda wonse.’”
22 And she said Naomi to Ruth daughter-in-law her [is] good O daughter my that you will go out with female servants his and not people will molest you in a field another.
Naomi anati kwa Rute mpongozi wake, “Kuli bwino mwana wanga kuti uzipita ndi adzakazi ake kuopa kuti mʼmunda wa munthu wina angakuvute.”
23 And she stayed with [the] female servants of Boaz to glean until was complete [the] harvest of the barley and [the] harvest of the wheat and she dwelt with mother-in-law her.
Choncho Rute ankatsatira adzakazi a Bowazi namakunkha mpaka anthu atamaliza kudula barele ndi tirigu. Ndipo amakhalabe ndi mpongozi wakeyo.
