Ruth 2
1 Now Naomi had a relative of her husband, a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
Pea naʻe ʻia Naomi ha kāinga ʻo hono husepāniti, ko e tangata koloaʻia lahi ʻaupito, ʻi he fale ʻo ʻElimeleki, pea ko hono hingoa ko Poasi.
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lute ko e fefine Moape kia Naomi, “Ke ke tuku au ke u ʻalu ni ki he ngoue, pea tufi ʻae ngaahi ʻuluʻi uite ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, ʻaia te u maʻu ai ʻae fiemālie ʻi hono ʻao.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻĀ ʻeku tama, ke ke ʻalu.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, pea hoko ʻo tufi ʻi he ngoue ʻo muimui ʻi he kau tuʻusi: pea tā ne mālie ʻia ʻene hoko ki he potu ʻoe ngoue naʻe ʻia Poasi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kāinga ʻo ʻElimeleki.
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
Pea, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻa Poasi mei Petelihema, ʻo ne pehē ki he kau tuʻusi, “Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa Sihova.” Pea naʻa nau tali ia ʻo pehē, “Ke tāpuaki koe ʻe Sihova.”
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was supervising the reapers, “What man does this young woman belong to?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Poasi ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki naʻe fakanofo ki he kau tuʻusi, “Ko e fefine ʻo hai eni?”
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.
Pea leaange ʻe he tamaioʻeiki naʻe fakanofo ki he kau tuʻusi ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e fefine Moape ia naʻe haʻu mo Naomi mei he fonua ko Moape:”
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, tuku au ke u tufi ʻo tānaki muimui ʻi he kau tuʻusi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ū: ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ia, pea kuo ne fai maʻuaipē ia, talu mei he pongipongi ki he feituʻulaʻā ni kuo ne afe siʻi pe ia ki he fale.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Poasi kia Lute, “ʻE hoku ʻofefine, ʻoku ʻikai te ke fanongo? ʻOua naʻa ke ʻalu ki ha ngoue kehe ke tufi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu mei heni, ka ke nofomaʻu pe ʻo ofi ki hoku kau fefine:
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.”
Ke ke sio pe ki he ngoue ʻoku nau tuʻusi, pea ke muimui ʻiate kinautolu: ʻikai kuo ʻosi ʻeku fekau ki he kau talavou ke ʻoua naʻa nau ala kiate koe? Pea ʻoka ke ka fieinu, ʻalu ki he ngaahi ʻaiʻanga inu ʻo inu, pea inu ʻaia kuo ʻutu ʻe he kau talavou.”
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?”
Pea naʻe tōmapeʻe ia ki hono mata, pea punou ia ki he kelekele, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo u ʻilo ai ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, koeʻuhi ke ke fie tokanga ai kiate au, he ko e muli au?”
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.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Poasi ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo fakahā ʻo lahi kiate au, ʻaia kotoa pē kuo ke fai ki hoʻo faʻē ʻi he fono, talu ʻae pekia ʻa ho husepāniti: pea mo hoʻo liʻaki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē, pea mo e fonua naʻa ke tupu ai, pea kuo ke haʻu ki ha kakai naʻe ʻikai te ke tomuʻa ʻilo.
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.”
Ke totongi ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ngāue, pea ke foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae totongi lahi, ʻaia ko e kapakau ʻoʻona kuo ke haʻu ke falala ki 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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Tuku ke u ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku ʻeiki; he kuo ke fakafiemālieʻi au, pea kuo tau hoʻo lea ki he loto ʻo hoʻo kaunanga, neongo ʻoku ʻikai te u hangē ha taha ʻi hoʻo kaunanga.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Poasi kiate ia, ʻI he feituʻulaʻā kai ke ke haʻu ki heni, “Pea kai ʻi he mā, pea peke hoʻo konga mā ʻi he vaimahi.” Pea naʻe nofo ofi ia ki he kau tuʻusi: pea naʻa ne ʻatu kiate ia ʻae uite tunu, pea kai ʻe ia, pea mākona, pea naʻe toe.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻene tuʻu hake ke tufi, naʻe fekau ʻe Poasi ki heʻene kau talavou, ʻo pehē, “Tuku ia ke tufi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ū, pea ʻoua naʻa fakamā ia:
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.”
pea tuku ke ngangana ʻae ngaahi faluku koeʻuhi ke ne maʻu ia, pea tuku ai pe ia, koeʻuhi ke ne tufi ia, pea ʻoua naʻa valoki ia.”
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.
Ko ia ne tufi ai ia ʻi he ngoue ko ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi pea naʻe tuki ʻe ia ʻaia kuo ne tufi: pea ko e efa nai ʻe taha ʻoe paʻale.
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.
Pea naʻa ne toʻo hake ia, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo: pea naʻe mamata ʻene faʻē ʻi he fono ki he meʻa naʻa ne tufi: pea ne ʻomi ia ʻo ʻatu ia kiate ia, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatoe, hili ʻene kai ʻo mākona.
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono kiate ia, “Naʻa ke tufi ki fē he ʻaho ni? Pea naʻa ke ngāue ki fē koe?” Ke monūʻia pe ia ʻaia naʻa ne tokangaʻi koe. Pea naʻa ne fakahā ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono ʻaia naʻa ne ngāue mo ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e tangata naʻaku ngāue ʻi ai he ʻaho ni ko Poasi hono hingoa.”
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Naomi ki heʻene tama ʻi he fono, “Ke monūʻia pe ia ʻia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tuku ʻene fai angaʻofa ki he moʻui, pea mo e mate.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Naomi kiate ia, “Ko e tangata kāinga ofi ia kiate kitaua, ko e tokotaha ʻo hota kāinga ʻoku ofi lahi.”
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.'”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lute ko e fefine Moape, naʻa ne pehē foki kiate au, “Ke ke fai maʻu pe ke ofi ki heʻeku kau talavou, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻeku tuʻusi ʻeku taʻu kotoa.”
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Naomi kia Lute ko ʻene tama ʻi he fono, “ʻA ʻeku tama, ʻOku lelei ia, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻalu kituʻa mo ʻene kau kaunanga, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo koe ʻi ha ngoue kehe ʻe taha.”
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.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu maʻu pe ia mo e kau kaunanga ʻa Poasi, ke fai ʻene tufi ke ʻoua ke hili ʻae fetuku ʻae taʻu paʻale mo e taʻu uite: pea naʻe nofo ia mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he fono.
