Ruth 2
1 Now Naomi had a relative of her husband, a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
Na he whanaunga to Naomi, ara to tana tahu, he tangata taonga nui, no te hapu o Erimereke; ko Poaha tona ingoa.
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.”
Na ka mea a Rutu Moapi ki a Naomi, Kia haere ahau ki te mara ki te hamu i nga puku parei i muri i te tangata e manakohia mai ai ahau. Ano ra ko tera, Haere, e taku tamahine.
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.
Na haere ana ia, a, no te taenga atu, ka hamu i te mara i muri i nga kaikokoti: a tupono noa ia ko te wahi o te mara i a Poaha o te hapu o Erimereke.
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
Na ko te taenga o Poaha i Peterehema, ka mea ki nga kaikokoti, Kia noho a Ihowa ki a koutou. Ano ra ko ratou ki a ia, Kia manaakitia koe e Ihowa.
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was supervising the reapers, “What man does this young woman belong to?”
Katahi ka mea a Poaha ki tana tangata i tohutohu nei i nga kaikokoti, Na wai tenei kotiro?
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.
Na ka whakahoki te kaitohutohu i nga kaikokoti, ka mea, Ko te kotiro Moapi tenei i hoki tahi mai nei raua ko Naomi i te whenua o Moapa;
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.”
I mea mai hoki ia, Tukua ahau kia hamu, kia kohikohi i roto i nga paihere, i muri i nga kaikokoti: heoi haere ana ia, a i konei tonu ia o te ata iho ano a tae mai ki naianei; he iti nei tona noho i te whare.
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.
Na ka mea a Poaha ki a Rutu, E kore ranei koe e rongo mai, e taku tamahine? Kaua e haere ki tetahi mara ke hamu ai; kaua ano e haere atu i konei; engari me noho tonu ki konei, ki aku kotiro.
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.”
Kia matatau ou kanohi ki te mara e kotia ana e ratou, ka whai i a ratou: kahore ianei ahau i ki atu ki nga taitamariki kia kaua ratou e pa ki a koe? E matewai hoki koe, haere ki nga oko, inu ai i ta nga taitamariki i utu mai ai.
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?”
Na ka tapapa iho tera, ka piko iho ki te whenua, a ka mea ki a ia, Na te aha koe i manako mai ai ki ahau, i mohio ai hoki ki ahau, he manene nei hoki ahau?
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.
Na ka whakahoki a Poaha, ka mea ki a ia, Kua ata korerotia mai ki ahau nga mea katoa i mea ai koe ki tou hungawai i muri i te matenga o tau tahu, tau whakarerenga hoki i tou papa, i tou whaea, i te whenua ano i whanau ai koe, a haere mai ana ki te iwi kihai i mohiotia e koe i mua ake nei.
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.”
Ma Ihowa e utu tau mahi; kia ata rite hoki te utu e homai ki a koe e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, kua tae mai nei hoki koe ki raro ki ona parirau okioki ai.
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.”
Ano ra ko tera, Kia manakohia mai ahau, e toku ariki; ka ora nei hoki toku ngakau i a koe, he pai hoki tau kupu ki tau pononga; ko ahau ia kahore e rite ki tetahi o au pononga wahine.
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.
I mea ano a Poaha ki a ia i te wa i kai ai, Haere mai ki konei, ki te kai taro mau, ka tuku hoki i tau kongakonga ki roto ki te winika. Na ka noho ia ki te taha o nga kaikokoti, i homai ano e ratou he witi pahuhu mana. Na kai ana ia, a ka makona, a toe ake.
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.
A, i tona whakatikanga ki te hamu, ka ako a Poaha i ana taitamariki, ka mea, Kia hamu ano ia i roto i nga paihere; kaua ano hoki ia e meinga kia whakama.
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.”
Whakangahorotia ano etahi kapunga mana, whakarerea atu kia kohia e ia, kaua hoki e riria.
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.
Na ka hamu ia i te mara a ahiahi noa, a patupatu ana e ia ana i hamu ai: a me te mea kotahi te epa parei.
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.
Na tangohia ana e ia, a haere ana ki te pa, a ka kite tona hungawai i ana i hamu ai: i whakaputainga ano e ia, i homai ki a ia nga toenga i a ia kua makona.
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.”
Na ka mea tona hungawai ki a ia, I hamu koe ki hea inaianei? I hea hoki koe e mahi ana? kia manaakitia te tangata i mohio na ki a koe. Na korerotia ana e ia ki tona hungawai te tangata i mahi nei ia ki a ia, a ka mea, Ko te ingoa o te tangata i mahi nei ahau ki a ia inaianei ko Poaha.
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.”
Ano ra ko Naomi ki tana hunaonga, Kia manaakitia ia e Ihowa, kihai nei tona aroha i mahue ki te hunga ora, ki te hunga mate. Na ka mea a Naomi ki a ia, He tata taua tangata ki a taua, no o taua whanaunga tupu.
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.'”
Na ka mea ano a Rutu Moapi, I mea mai ano hoki ia ki ahau, Kia tata tonu koe ki aku tangata, kia poto ra ano aku mea katoa te kokoti.
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.”
Na ka mea a Naomi ki a Rutu, ki tana hunaonga, He pai, e taku tamahine, ki te haere tahi koe me ana kotiro, kei riria koe i te mara ke.
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.
Na kei te whai tonu ia i nga kotiro a Poaha, ka hamu a poto noa nga parei te kokoti, me te witi hoki te kokoti; i tona hungawai ia tona nohoanga.
