< Ruth 2 >
1 There was a man in Bethlehem who belonged to the clan of [Naomi’s dead husband], Elimelech. He was rich and well-known/influential. His name was Boaz.
At si Noemi ay may kamaganak ng kaniyang asawa, isang mayamang makapangyarihan, sa angkan ni Elimelech; at ang pangalan niya'y Booz.
2 [One day] Ruth said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the grain left behind by the workers.” Naomi replied, “Go ahead, my daughter.”
At sinabi ni Ruth na Moabita kay Noemi, Paparoonin mo ako ngayon sa bukid, at mamulot ng mga uhay sa likuran niyaong aking kasumpungan ng biyaya sa paningin. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Yumaon ka, anak ko.
3 So Ruth went to the fields and began to pick up some of the left-over grain. And it happened that she was working in a field that belonged to Boaz, [the man] from the clan of [her dead father-in-law], Elimelech!
At siya'y yumaon at naparoon, at namulot sa bukid sa likuran ng mga mangaani: at nagkataong dumating sa bahagi ng lupa na nauukol kay Booz, na sa angkan ni Elimelech.
4 Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem. He greeted the men who were harvesting the grain, saying, “I want Yahweh to bless you!” They replied, “We want Yahweh to bless you, [too]!”
At, narito, si Booz ay nanggaling sa Bethlehem, at nagsabi sa mga mangaani, Ang Panginoo'y sumainyo nawa. At sila'y sumagot sa kaniya, Pagpalain ka nawa ng Panginoon.
5 Then Boaz saw Ruth, and asked the (foreman/man in charge of the other workmen), “Whose [daughter] is that young woman?”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Booz sa kaniyang lingkod na kaniyang katiwala sa mga mangaani, Sinong babae ito?
6 The foreman replied, “She is the woman from Moab who returned from there with [her mother-in-law] Naomi.
At ang lingkod na katiwala sa mga mangaani ay sumagot at nagsabi, Siya'y babaing Moabita na bumalik na kasama ni Noemi na mula sa lupain ng Moab:
7 She said to me, ‘Please let me walk behind the men who are harvesting the grain and pick up some of the grain they leave behind.’ [I gave her permission, and] she went into the field, and she has been working from this morning until now. The only time she did not work was when she rested for a short time in the shelter.”
At kaniyang sinabi, Isinasamo ko sa iyong pamulutin mo ako, at papagtipunin sa likuran ng mga mangaani sa gitna ng mga bigkis. Sa gayo'y naparoon siya at nagpatuloy, sa makatuwid baga'y mula sa umaga hanggang ngayon, liban sa siya'y nagpahingang sangdali sa bahay.
8 So Boaz went over to Ruth and said to her, “Young lady, listen to me. Don’t go and pick up grain in another field. Do not go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Booz kay Ruth, Di mo ba naririnig, anak ko? Huwag kang mamulot sa ibang bukid, o lumagpas man dito, kundi manahan ka ritong malapit sa piling ng aking mga alilang babae.
9 Watch where the men are harvesting, and follow along behind the [servant] girls. I will tell the men [who are working] not to touch/molest you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get some water to drink from the jars that the men have filled.”
Itanaw mo ang iyong mga mata sa bukid na kanilang inaanihan, at sumunod ka sa kanila; di ba ibinilin ko sa mga bataan na huwag ka nilang gagalawin? At pagka ikaw ay nauuhaw, pumaroon ka sa mga banga, at uminom ka sa inigib ng mga bataan.
10 When he said that, she knelt down in front of him [in respect], with her face touching the ground. She exclaimed, “Why are you acting so kindly toward me, by paying attention to me? [I am not even a Jew; I am] a foreigner!”
Nang magkagayo'y nagpatirapa siya at yumukod sa lupa, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Bakit ako nakasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin na nilingap mo ako, dangang ako'y taga ibang lupa?
11 Boaz replied, “People have told me all about what you have done for your mother-in-law. They told me that you left your parents and your homeland, and you came here to live among people whom you did not know before.
At si Booz ay sumagot at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ipinatalastas sa akin ang buong iyong ginawa sa iyong biyanan mula sa pagkamatay ng iyong asawa: at kung paanong iyong iniwan ang iyong ama at iyong ina, at ang lupang pinanganakan sa iyo, at ikaw ay naparito sa bayan na hindi mo nakilala nang una.
12 I hope/desire that Yahweh will repay you for what you have done. You have put yourself in the care of Yahweh, [like a little bird puts itself] under [its mother’s] wings [MET]. I desire that he will reward you very greatly.”
Gantihin nawa ng Panginoon ang iyong gawa, at bigyan ka nawa ng lubos na ganting pala ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, sa ilalim ng mga pakpak niyaong iyong kakanlungan.
13 She replied, “Sir, I hope you will continue to act kindly toward me. You have comforted/encouraged me, even though I am lower in status than any of your servant girls.”
Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang sinabi, Makasumpong nawa ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, panginoon ko; sapagka't ako'y iyong inaliw, at sapagka't may kagandahang loob na pinagsalitaan mo ang iyong lingkod, bagaman ako'y hindi gaya ng isa sa iyong mga alila.
14 At mealtime, Boaz said to her, “Come over here. Take some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar [and eat it].” Then when she sat down with the men who had been harvesting, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all the grain she wanted, and had some left over.
At sa pagkain ay sinabi ni Booz sa kaniya, Parito ka, at kumain ka ng tinapay, at basain mo ang iyong subo sa suka. At siya'y umupo sa siping ng mga mangaani: at iniabot niya sa kaniya, ang sinangag na trigo, at siya'y kumain, at nabusog, at lumabis.
15 As she stood up to start gathering grain [again], Boaz ordered his workers, “Even if she gathers some grain near the bundles of grain that have been cut, do not scold her.
At nang siya'y tumindig upang mamulot, ay iniutos ni Booz sa kaniyang mga bataan, na sinasabi, Pamulutin ninyo siya hanggang sa gitna ng mga bigkis, at huwag ninyo siyang hiyain.
16 Instead, pull out some stalks of grain from the bundles, and leave them on the ground for her to pick up, and do not rebuke her.”
At ihugot din ninyo siya ng ilan sa mga bigkis, at iwan ninyo at pamulutin niya, at huwag ninyong hiyain siya.
17 So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. Then she (threshed/beat with a stick) the barley that she had gathered, [to separate the kernels from the stalks], and the barley filled a large basket.
Sa gayo'y namulot siya sa bukid hanggang sa paglubog ng araw; at kaniyang hinampas yaong kaniyang napamulot, at may isang epa ng sebada.
18 She carried it back to town, and showed to her mother-in-law how much she had gathered. Ruth also showed to her the grain [that was left over after] she had eaten enough from [what Boaz had given her at lunchtime].
At kaniyang dinala at pumasok sa bayan: at nakita ng kaniyang biyanan ang kaniyang napamulot: at kaniyang inilabas at ibinigay sa kaniya ang lumabis sa kaniya pagkatapos na siya'y nabusog.
19 Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you gather grain today? In whose [field] did you work? [God will] surely bless the man who was kind to you.” Then Ruth told her about the man in whose field she had been working. She said, “The name of the man [who owns the field] where I worked today is Boaz.”
At sinabi ng kaniyang biyanan sa kaniya, Saan ka namulot ngayon? at saan ka gumawa? Pagpalain nawa yaong lumingap sa iyo, At itinuro niya sa kaniyang biyanan kung kanino siya gumawa, at sinabi, Ang pangalan ng lalake na aking ginawan ngayon ay Booz.
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will bless him! He has not stopped acting kindly toward [us, who are still] living, and to [our husbands] who have died.” Then she added, “That man is a close relative [of Elimelech]; he is one of those who has a responsibility to help those who are his relatives.”
At sinabi ni Noemi sa kaniyang manugang: Pagpalain nawa siya ng Panginoon, na hindi ikinait ang kaniyang kagandahang loob sa mga buhay at sa mga patay. At sinabi ni Noemi sa kaniya, Ang lalaking yaon ay isa sa mga kamaganak na malapit natin, isang pinakamalapit na kamaganak natin.
21 Then Ruth said, “He also said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they have finished harvesting all my grain.’”
At sinabi ni Ruth na Moabita, Oo, sinabi niya sa akin, Ikaw ay sumunod na malapit sa aking mga bataan hanggang sa kanilang matapos ang aking ani.
22 Naomi replied, “My daughter, it will be good for you to go [to his field] with his [servant] girls, because if you go to someone else’s field, someone might harm/molest you.”
At sinabi ni Noemi kay Ruth na kaniyang manugang, Mabuti, anak ko, na ikaw ay lumabas na kasama ng kaniyang mga alila, at huwag kang masumpungan sa ibang bukid.
23 So Ruth stayed close to Boaz’s [servant] girls [while she was working]. She gathered stalks of grain until the barley harvest and the wheat harvest were finished. During that time she lived with Naomi.
Sa gayo'y nakipisang maliksi na kasiping ng mga alila ni Booz, upang mamulot hanggang sa katapusan ng pagaani ng sebada at pagaani ng trigo; at siya'y tumahang kasama ng kaniyang biyanan.
