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.
A LAILA, olelo mai o Naomi kona makuahonowaiwahine, E kuu kaikamahine, aole anei au e imi i wahi e hoomaha ai nou, i mea e pomaikai ai oe?
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.
Aole anei no ko kakou hoahanau o Boaza, nona na kaikamahine au i noho pu ai? Aia hoi ke kanana nei ia i ka huabale i keia po ma ke kahua hahi.
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.
Nolaila ea, e holoi oe ia oe iho, a e hamo hoi, a e hookomo i kou lole, a e iho oe ilalo i ke kahua; a mai hoike aku oe ia oe iho i ua kanaka la, a pau kana ai ana, a me kana inu ana.
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.”
Eia hoi kekahi; i ka manawa ana e moe ai, e nana pono oe i kona wahi e moe ana, a e komo aku oe, a e wehe i kona mau kapuwai, a moe iho, a nana no e hai mai ia oe i ka mea au e hana'i.
5 Ruth replied, “I will do everything that you have told me [to do].”
I aku la keia ia ia, O na mea a pau au e kauoha mai nei, e hana no au.
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].
Iho aku la oia ilalo i ke kahua, a hana iho la e like me na mea a pau a kona makuahonowaiwahine i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
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].
A ai o Boaza, a inu, a olioli kona naau, alaila, hele aku la ia e moe ma ka welau a ka puu ai; a hele malie mai la ia, a wehe iho la i kona mau kapuwai, a moe iho la.
8 In the middle of the night, he suddenly awoke. He sat up and saw that a woman was lying at his feet.
A hiki i ke aumoe, makau iho la ua kanaka la, no ka mea, i kona oni ana, aia hoi he wahine, e moe ana ma kona mau kapuwai.
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].”
I mai la ia, Owai oe? I mai la kela, o Ruta wau, o kau kauwawahine, nolaila ea, e halii mai i kou kapa maluna o kau kauwawahine, no ka mea, o oe no kekahi mea i pili koko.
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].
I mai la ia, E pomaikai ana oe ia Iehova, e kuu kaikamahine e; no ka mea, ua oi aku kou lokomaikai hope, i ko ka mua, i kou hahai ole ana mahope o na kanaka ui, aole i ka mea hune, aole hoi i ka mea waiwai.
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.
Nolaila ea, mai makau oe, e kuu kaikamahine. O na mea a pau au e olelo mai la, na'u ia e hana aku ia oe; no ka mea, ua ike ko'u poe kanaka a pau, he kaikamahine pono oe.
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.
He oiaio no, owau ka hoahanau pili ia oe. Eia ae kekahi mea i pili mua aku, he hope au.
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.”
I keia po e kakali ai a kakahiaka, alaila, ina nana oe e mare, ua pono, e mare no ia; aka, ina aole ia e makemake e mare mai ia oe, ma ke ola ana o Iehova, na'u oe e mare. E moe oe a kakahiaka.
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.”
Moe iho la oia ma kona mau kapuwai a kakahiaka. A ala mai la ia mamua o ka wa e hiki ai kekahi ke hoomaopopo i kona hoa. I ae la ia, Mai hai aku i ka hele ana mai o ka wahine i ke kahua hahi.
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.
I hou aku la ia, Homai ka pale maluna ou, a e paa mai ia mea. A i kona paa ana mai, ana iho la ia i eono ana huabale, a kau aku la maluna ona; a hoi aku la ia i ke kulanakauhale.
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].
A hiki aku la ia i kona makuahonowaiwahine, ninau mai la kela, Owai oe, e kuu kaikamahine? A hai aku la keia i na mea a pau a ua kanaka la i hana mai ai nana.
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.’”
I aku la, O keia mau ana huabale eono kana i haawi mai ai ia'u; no ka mea, olelo mai la ia, Mai hoi nele aku oe i kou makuahonowaiwahine.
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]”
Olelo mai la ia, E noho malie oe, e kuu kaikamahine, a ike pono oe i ka hope o keia; no ka mea, aole loa e noho hoomaha kela kanaka, a hoopau pono oia ia mea, i keia la.
