< Ruth 3 >

1 One day, Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, I think that I should [RHQ] try to arrange for you to have a husband [MTY] who will (take care of/provide for) you.
Miingon kaniya si Naomi, nga iyang ugangang babaye, “Akong anak nga babaye, dili ba ako kinahanglan mangita ug dapit nga imong kapahulayan, aron nga mamaayo ang imong pagkabutang?
2 Boaz, the man with whose [servant] girls you have been [gathering grain], is a close relative [of our dead husbands]. Listen [carefully]. Tonight he will be at the ground where [the barley has] been threshed. He will be separating the barley grain from the chaff.
Karon si Boaz, ang lalaki nga adunay mga babayeng sulugoon nga imong nakauban, dili ba ato man siyang kadugo? Tan-awa, magpalid siya ug sebada karong gabii didto sa giukanan.
3 Bathe yourself and put on some perfume. Put on your [best] clothes. Then go down to the ground where they have threshed [the grain]. But do not let Boaz know that you are there while he is eating [supper] and drinking.
Busa, kaligo, dihogi ang imong kaugalingon, ug sul-oba ang labing maanindot mo nga bisti ug lugsong didto sa giukanan. Apan ayaw pagpaila sa imong kaugalingon ngadto sa lalaki hangtod nga mahuman na siya sa pagkaon ug pag-inom.
4 [When he has finished eating], notice where he lies down to sleep. Then [when he is asleep], take the blanket off his feet and lie [close to his feet]. [When he wakes up], he will tell you what to do.”
Ug siguroha, nga sa dihang mohigda na siya, matiman-an nimo ang dapit diin siya mohigda aron nga maadtoan nimo siya pagkataodtaod, wakisa ang iyang tiilan, ug higda didto. Unya sultihan ka niya kung unsa ang imong buhaton.”
5 Ruth replied, “I will do everything that you have told me [to do].”
Miingon si Ruth kang Naomi, “Pagabuhaton ko ang tanan nimong gisulti.”
6 So she went down to the ground where they had threshed [the barley grain]. There she did everything that her mother-in-law had told her [to do].
Busa milugsong siya didto sa giukanan, ug gisunod niya ang mga gitugon sa iyang ugangan kaniya.
7 When Boaz finished eating [supper] and drinking [wine], he felt happy. Then he went over to the far end of the pile of grain. He lay down [and went to sleep]. Then Ruth approached him quietly. She took the blanket off his feet and lay down [there].
Sa nakakaon ug nakainom na si Boaz ug nagmalipayon ang iyang kasingkasing, mihigda siya sa kinatumyan tapad sa tinapok nga mga lugas. Unya mihinay siya sa pagduol, giwakisan ang iyang tiilan, ug mihigda.
8 In the middle of the night, he suddenly awoke. He sat up and saw that a woman was lying at his feet.
Sa pagkatungang gabii nakuratan ang maong lalaki. Mitakilid siya, ug dayon adunay usa ka babaye nga naghigda sa iyang tiilan!
9 He asked her, “Who are you?” She replied, “I am your servant, Ruth. Since you are the one who has a responsibility to take care of [someone like me whose dead husband was] your close relative, spread the corner of your cloak over my [feet to show that you will marry me].”
Miingon siya, “Kinsa ka man?” Mitubag siya, “Ako si Ruth, ang sulugoon mong babaye. Buklara ang imong kupo ibabaw sa sulugoon mong babaye, kay ikaw man ang suod nga kadugo nga lalaki.”
10 Boaz replied, “Young lady, I hope that Yahweh will (bless/be kind to) you! You have acted kindly [toward your mother-in-law], and now you are acting even more kindly [toward me by wanting to marry me, instead of wanting to marry a young man]. You have not looked for either a rich young man or a poor young man, [to marry him].
Miingon si Boaz, “Akong anak nga babaye, hinaot nga panalanginan ka pa ni Yahweh. Gipakita mo ang labaw nga pagkamaayo sa kaulahian kaysa sa sinugdanan, tungod kay wala ka man monunot sa mga kaulitawhan, kabos man kini o adunahan.
11 Now, young lady, I will do everything you ask. Don’t worry [that people in this town might think I am doing wrong by marrying you because you are a woman from Moab]. All the people in this town know that you are an honorable woman.
Ug karon, akong anak nga babaye, ayaw ug kahadlok! Pagabuhaton ko alang kanimo ang tanan nimong gisulti, tungod kay ang tibuok siyudad sa akong katawhan nasayod nga ikaw ang babaye nga may katakos.
12 But [there is one problem]. Although it is true that I am a close relative [of your mother-in-law’s dead husband], there is another man who is a closer relative [than I am], and therefore he should be the one to [marry you and] take care of you.
Ug karon tinuod gayod nga ako ang suod nga kadugong lalaki; apan, aduna pay mas duol nga kadugong lalaki kay kanako.
13 You stay here for the rest of this night. Tomorrow morning [I will tell this man about you]. If he says that he will [marry you and] take care of you, fine, [we will] let him do that. But if he is not willing [to do that], I solemnly promise that as surely as Yahweh lives, I will [marry you and] take care of you. So lie/sleep here until it is morning.”
Pabilin dinhi karong gabhiona, ug sa pagkabuntag, kung buhaton niya alang kanimo ang katungdanan ingon nga kadugong lalaki, maayo, tugoti siya sa pagbuhat sa iyang katungdanan ingon nga kadugo nga lalaki. Apan kung dili niya buhaton ang katungdanan sa usa ka kadugo nga lalaki alang kanimo, nan ako ang mobuhat niini, ingon nga buhi si Yahweh. Higda una hangtod nga mabuntag.”
14 So she lay at his feet until morning. But she got up and left before it was light enough that people would be able to recognize her, because Boaz said, “I do not want anyone to know that a woman was here.”
Busa mihigda siya sa iyang tiilan hangtod nga nabuntag. Apan mibangon siya ug sayo samtang dili pa magka-ilhanay ang usag-usa. Kay miingon man si Boaz, “Ayaw ipahibalo nga ang babaye mianhi sa giukanan.”
15 He also said to her, “Bring to me your cloak and spread it out.” When she did that, he poured into it six measures/24 liters/50 pounds of barley, and put in on her back. Then he (OR, she) went back to the town.
Unya miingon si Boaz, “Dad-a ang imong pandong ug guniti kini.” Sa pagbuhat niya niini, nagtakos siya ug unom ka dagkong takos sa sebada ug gipalukdo kaniya. Unya miadto siya sa siyudad.
16 When Ruth arrived home, her mother-in-law asked her, “My daughter, how did (things go/Boaz act toward you)?” Then Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her [and said to her].
Sa pag-abot na ni Ruth didto sa iyang ugangang babaye, miingon siya, “Unsa bay gibuhat mo, akong anak nga babaye?” Unya gisuginlan siya ni Ruth sa tanang gibuhat sa lalaki alang kaniya.
17 She also said [to Naomi], “He gave me all this barley, saying ‘I do not want you to return to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
Miingon siya, “Kining unom ka takos nga sebada mao ang iyang gihatag kanako, kay miingon man siya, “Ayaw pagpauli nga walay dala ngadto sa imong ugangan nga babaye.'”
18 Then Naomi said, “My daughter, just wait until we see what happens. [I am sure that] Boaz will take care of [LIT] the matter [of your marriage]. [LIT]”
Unya miingon si Naomi, “Pabilin usa dinhi, akong anak nga babaye, hangtod nga masayran nimo kung unsa ang mahitabo, kay ang lalaki dili mopahulay hangtod nga iyang mahuman kining butanga karong adlawa.”
