Ruth 2
1 Now Naomi had a relative of her husband, a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
Te vaengah Naomi aka ming la a va kah pacaboeina, a ming ah Boaz tah Elimelekh cako khuiah tatthai, hlangrhalh hlang la om.
2 Ruth, the Moabite woman, said to Naomi, “Now let me go and glean what remains among the ears of grain in the fields. I will follow anyone in whose eyes I will find favor.” So Naomi said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
Moab nu Ruth loh Noami taengah, “Lohma la ka cet mai vetih a mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang atah a hnukah cangmo ka yoep van eh,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Ka canu, cet saw ne,” a ti nah.
3 Ruth went and gleaned what remained in the fields after they had harvested it. She happened to come to the portion of the fields belonging to Boaz, who was of the clan of Elimelek.
Te dongah cet tih lohma la a pawk vaengah cang at rhoek hnukah a yoep van. Te vaengah Elimelekh kah a hui a ko Boaz lo kah khamyai te Ruth kah a hma la ana pawk.
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
Te vaengah Boaz te Bethlehem lamloh pakcak ha pawk tih cang aka at rhoek te, “Nangmih taengah BOEIPA om saeh,” a ti nah hatah anih te, “Nang khaw BOEIPA loh yoethen m'pae saeh,” a ti nauh.
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was supervising the reapers, “What man does this young woman belong to?”
Te phoeiah cang aka at rhoek khuikah amah lopai cadong te Boaz loh, “Hekah hula he unim ca?,” a ti nah.
6 The servant supervising the reapers answered and said, “It is the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the land of Moab.
Te dongah cang at rhoek aka pai thil cadong loh a doo tih, “Anih tah Moab kho lamkah Naomi neh aka bal Moab nu hula,” a ti nah.
7 She said to me, 'Please let me glean what remains in the field after the workers harvest the crop.' So she came here and has continued from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”
Te dongah, “Ka yoep van saeh lamtah cang at rhoek hnukkah canghmoek ke ka coi mai eh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah cet tih pohlip ah rhaih a duem nen te mincang lamloh tahae duela a pai thil.
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Are you listening to me, my daughter? Do not go and glean in another field; do not leave my field. Instead, stay here and work with my young female workers.
Te dongah Ruth te Boaz loh, “Ka canu na yaak moenih a? Cangmo yoep ham te lo lang ah cet boeh, he lamkah khaw nong boeh, kai kah hula rhoek taengah pahoi balak van.
9 Keep your eyes only on the field where the men are reaping and follow behind the other women. Have I not instructed the men not to touch you? Whenever you are thirsty, you may go to the waterpots and drink the water that the men have drawn.”
Lohma li kah cang at rhoek te na mik neh so lamtah amih hnuk ah cet van. Nang te ben pawt ham cadong rhoek te ka uen moenih a? Tui na hal vaengah khaw am ke paan lamtah cadong rhoek kah a than tangtae te o,” a ti nah.
10 Then she bowed down before Boaz, touching her face to the ground. She said to him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you should be concerned about me, a foreigner?”
Te vaengah Ruth te a hmai la buluk tih diklai la bakop. Te phoeiah Boaz te, “Kai he kholong hlang dae kai nan hmat ham khaw balae tih na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang,” a ti nah.
11 Boaz answered and said to her, “It has been reported to me, all that you have done since the death of your husband. You have left your father, mother, and the land of your birth to follow your mother-in-law and to come to a people you do not know.
Tedae Boaz loh a doo tih, “Na va a dueknah hnukah na mani hamla na saii khaw, na nu na pa, na pacaboeina kah a khohmuen na hnoo tih hlaem hlavai kah na ming pawh pilnam taengla na pawk te a pum la kai taengah a thui rhoela a thui coeng.
12 May Yahweh reward you for your deed. May you receive full payment from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have found refuge.”
Na bisai te BOEIPA loh han thuung saeh lamtah a phae hlip ah ying hamla na paan Israel Pathen BOEIPA taeng lamkah na thapang te rhuemtuet la ha om saeh,” a ti nah.
13 Then she said, “Let me find favor in your eyes, my master, for you have comforted me, and you have spoken kindly to me, though I am not one of your female servants.”
Ruth loh, “Kai nan hloep dongah ka boeipa nang kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang, na sal a lungbuei te cawt na doo coeng tih kai tah na sal bangla ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
14 At mealtime Boaz said to Ruth, “Come here, and eat some of the bread, and dip your morsel in the wine vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and he offered her some roasted grain. She ate until she was satisfied and left the rest of it.
Buh caak tue vaengah tah Boaz loh, “Hela ha thoeih lamtah buh te ca dae, na buhkam te a thuui dongah khaw nuem dae,” a ti nah. Te daengah cang at rhoek taeng ah ngol thuk. Te vaengah anih ham vairhum a phom pah tih a hah la a caak phoeiah a caknoi pueng.
15 As she got up to gather up grain, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her gather up the grain even among the bundles, and do not tell her not to.
Cangmo yoep la koep a thoh hang vaengah, Boaz loh a cadong rhoek te a uen tih, “Canghmoek laklo ah yoep mai cakhaw a hmaithae sak uh boeh.
16 Also pull out for her some ears of grain from the bundles, and leave them for her to gather up, and do not rebuke her.”
Cangphung dongkah te buem buem uh lamtah anih ham hnoo pauh. A yoep vaengah khaw anih te tluung uh boeh,” a ti nah.
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out the ears of grain that she had gathered, and the grain was about an ephah of barley.
Te dongah lohma li ah cangmo te kholaeh due a yoep tih a yoep te a boh vaengah cangtun cangnoek pakhat tluk a om pah.
18 She lifted it up and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gathered. Ruth also brought out the roasted grain left from her meal and gave it to her.
Te te a khuen tih khopuei a paan. A mani a hmuh vaengah cangmo a yoep a khuen tih a hah phoeikah a caknoi pah te a mani a paek.
19 Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where did you go to work? May the man who helped you be blessed.” Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the man who owned the field where she had worked. She said, “The name of the man who owns the field where I worked today is Boaz.”
Te vaengah anih te a mani loh, “Tihnin ah melam na yoep tih me rhoek ah lae na saii? Nang aka hmat tah a yoethen pai saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah a taengah bi a saii pah hlang te a mani taengah a thui tih, “Tihnin ah a taengah bi ka saii pah hlang kah a ming tah Boaz ni,” a ti nah.
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, who has not left off his loyalty to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “That man is near of kin to us, one of our kinsman-redeemers.”
Naomi loh a langa te, “BOEIPA loh anih yoe a then sak. Amah long tah aka hing rhoek taeng neh aka duek rhoek taengah khaw a sitlohnah pat sak pawh a ti nah. Te phoeiah Ruth taengah Naomi loh, “Anih te mamih aka tlan, mah neh aka yoei uh hlang ni,” a ti nah.
21 Ruth the Moabite woman said, “Indeed, he said to me, 'You should keep close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.'”
Moab nu Ruth loh, “Kai taengah khaw, 'Kamah taengkah cangah boeih a bawt duela kamah kah cadong rhoek taengah balak mai,’ a ti pataeng,” a ti nah.
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young female workers, so that you do not come to harm in any other field.”
Te dongah a langa Ruth taengah Naomi loh, “Nang te lo lang ah n'cuuk sak uh voel pawt vetih anih lopai rhoek taengla na pawk te ka canu aw then mai coeng,” a ti nah.
23 So she stayed close to Boaz's female workers in order to glean to the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. She lived with her mother-in-law.
Te dongah cangtun cangah neh cangtang cangah a boeih duela cangmo yoep ham Boaz kah lopai rhoek taengah balak tih a mani taengah kho a sak.
