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.

Sinabi sa kaniya ni Naomi, na kaniyang biyenan, “Aking anak, hindi ba dapat na humanap ako ng lugar para makapagpahinga ka, kaya maging maayos ang mga bagay para sa iyo?

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.

Ngayon si Boaz, ang lalaki na ang mga kabataang babaing manggagawa ay nakasama mo, hindi ba kamag-anak natin siya? Tingnan mo, magtatahip siya ng sebada mamayang gabi sa giikang palapag.

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.

Kaya, maglinis, maglagay ka ng pabango, magpalit ka ng damit, at bumaba sa giikan. Pero huwag ka munang magpakilala sa lalaki hanggang matapos siyang kumain at uminom.

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.”

At tiyakin mo, kapag humiga siya, na matandaan mo ang lugar kung saan siya nakahiga para mamaya ay maaari kang pumunta sa kaniya, alisin ang takip ng kaniyang mga paa, at humiga roon. Pagkatapos sasabihin niya sa iyo ang iyong gagawin.”

5 Ruth replied, “I will do everything that you have told me [to do].”

Sinabi ni Ruth kay Naomi, “Gagawin ko ang lahat ng bagay na sasabihin ninyo.”

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].

Kaya bumaba siya sa giikan, at sumunod siya sa mga tagubiling ibinigay sa kaniya ng kaniyang biyenan.

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].

Nang si Boaz ay makakain at makainom at ang kaniyang puso ay masigla, pumunta siya para humiga sa dulo ng tumpok ng butil. Pagkatapos siya ay dahan-dahang lumapit, inalis ang takip ng kaniyang mga paa, at nahiga.

8 In the middle of the night, he suddenly awoke. He sat up and saw that a woman was lying at his feet.

Nangyari ito noong hatinggabi na ang lalaki ay nagulat. Bumalikwas siya, at naroon ang isang babae na nakahiga sa kaniyang paanan.

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].”

Sinabi niya, “Sino ka?” Sumagot siya, “Ako si Ruth, ang iyong babaeng lingkod. Ilatag mo ang inyong balabal sa iyong babaeng lingkod, dahil ikaw ay isang malapit na kamag-anak.”

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].

Sinabi ni Boaz, “Aking anak, pagpalain ka nawa ni Yahweh. Nagpakita ka ng higit na kabaitan sa huli kaysa sa simula, dahil hindi ka humabol alinman sa mga binata, maging mahirap man o mayaman.

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.

At ngayon, aking anak, huwag kang matakot! Gagawin ko para sa iyo ang lahat ng sabihin mo, dahil ang buong lungsod ng aking bayan ay nalalaman na ikaw ay isang karapat-dapat na babae.

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.

Ngayon ito ay totoo na ako ay isang malapit na kamag-anak; sa gayon, may isang kamag-anak na mas malapit kaysa akin.

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.”

Manatili ka rito ngayong gabi, at sa umaga, kung gagampanan niya para sa iyo ang tungkulin ng isang kamag-anak, mabuti, hayaang gawin niya ang tungkulin ng isang kamag-anak. Pero kung hindi niya gagawin ang tungkulin ng isang kamag-anak para sa iyo, pagkatapos ako ang gagawa nito, sa pamamagitan ng buhay ni Yahweh. Mahiga ka hanggang sa umaga.”

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.”

Kaya nahiga siya sa kaniyang paanan hanggang umaga. Pero bumangon siya bago pa man may sinumang makakilala ng ibang tao. Dahil sinabi ni Boaz, “Huwag hayaang malaman na pumarito ang babae sa giikan.”

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.

Pagkatapos sinabi ni Boaz, “Dalhin mo ang iyong balabal at hawakan mo ito.” Nang gawin niya iyon, nakasukat siya ng anim na malalaking sukat ng sebada sa loob nito at pinasan niya. Pagkatapos nagtungo siya sa lungsod.

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].

Nang dumating si Ruth sa kaniyang biyenan, sinabi niya, “Kamusta ang iyong ginawa, aking anak?” Pagkatapos sinabi ni Ruth sa kaniya ang lahat ng nagawa ng lalaki para sa 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.’”

Sinabi niya, “Itong anim na sukat ng sebada ay kung ano ang ibinigay niya sa akin, dahil sinabi niya, 'Huwag kang umalis na walang dala sa iyong biyenan.'”

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]”

Pagkatapos sinabi ni Naomi, “Manatili ka rito, aking anak, hanggang malaman mo kung anong mangyayari sa bagay na ito, dahil hindi titigil ang lalaki hanggang matapos niya ang bagay na ito ngayon.”
