Ruth 2
1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name [was] Boaz.
Naomi srɔ̃, Elimelek nɔviŋutsu aɖe nɔ Betlehem, ame si ŋkɔe nye Boaz, eye wònye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after [him] in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
Gbe ɖeka la, Rut gblɔ na Naomi be, “Medi be mayi dɔmenyotɔ aɖe ƒe agble ne mafɔ nuku si nuxalawo gblẽ ɖi la va aƒe me.” Naomi gblɔ be, “Enyo; heyi.”
3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her lot was to light on a part of the field [belonging] to Boaz, who [was] of the kindred of Elimelech.
Ale Rut yi. Nukutɔe la, agble si me wòyi la nye Boaz, ame si nye Naomi srɔ̃, Elimelek ƒe ƒometɔ la tɔ.
4 And behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the reapers, The LORD [be] with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.
Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, Boaz tso Betlehem va agble la, eye wòdo gbe na dɔwɔlawo be, “Yehowa nanɔ anyi kpli mi!” Woɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa nayra wò!”
5 Then said Boaz to his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel [is] this?
Boaz bia eƒe dɔwɔlawo dzi kpɔla be, “Ɖetugbi kae nye ema?”
6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It [is] the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi from the country of Moab:
Dzikpɔla la ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖetugbi si tso Moabnyigba dzi va kple lɔ̃xoa, Naomi lae.
7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
Ebia mɔm ŋdi sia be yeafɔ nuku siwo ge le nuku bablawo me, eye esia dzi ko wòle tso ŋdi ke, fifia koe wòle ɖiɖim ɖe eme vie le vɔvɔli ma te.”
8 Then said Boaz to Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:
Boaz gblɔ na Rut be, “Vinye, ɖo tom; mègayi ɖafɔ nuku siwo nuxalawo gblẽ ɖi la le agble bubu aɖeke me o, eye mègadzo le afi sia hã o. Lé ɖokuiwò ɖe nye dɔlanyɔnuwo ŋu.
9 [Let] thy eyes [be] on the field that they are reaping, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art thirsty go to the vessels, and drink of [that] which the young men have drawn.
Lé ŋku ɖe afi si ŋutsuawo le nuku xam le la ŋu, eye nàdze nye dɔlanyɔnuwo yome. Mede se na ŋutsuawo be womaɖe fu aɖeke na wò o, eye ne tsikɔ le wuwòm la, yi nàku tsi le ze siwo me ŋutsuawo ku tsi ɖo la me nàno.”
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found grace in thy eyes, that thou shouldst take knowledge of me, seeing I [am] a stranger?
Nya siawo sese na Rut de ta agu, tsyɔ mo anyi, eye wògblɔ be, “Nu kae na nètsɔ ɖe le nye nya me? Nu ka ta nève amedzro aɖe nu ale ɖo?”
11 And Boaz answered and said to her, It hath fully been shown to me, all that thou hast done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband: and [how] thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and hast come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
Boaz ɖo eŋu be, “Mese nu siwo katã nèwɔ na lɔ̃xowò tso esime srɔ̃a ku. Menya nu tso ale si nègblẽ fofowò, dawò kple mia de ɖi kple ale si nèva le ame siwo mènya tsã o dome la ŋu.
12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to trust.
Yehowa naɖo nyui si nèwɔ la teƒe na wò. Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, ame si gbɔ nèva le sitsoƒe dim le la naɖo eteƒe na wò.”
13 Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I am not like to one of thy handmaidens.
Rut ɖo eŋu be, “Akpe na wò, nye aƒetɔ. Èkpɔ nublanui nam ŋutɔ, èna nye dzi dze eme ɖe ale si nèƒo nu nam lɔlɔ̃tɔe ta, togbɔ be nyemede wò subɔla aɖeke nu o hã.”
14 And Boaz said to her, At meal-time come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched [corn], and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.
Le ŋdɔnuɖuɣi la, Boaz yɔ Rut, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Va nàɖu nu kpli mí.” Rut nɔ dɔwɔlawo dome heɖu nu kpli wo ɖi ƒodo nyuie, eye nuɖuɖu si wonae la ƒe ɖe gasusɔ.
15 And when she had risen to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
Esi wògayi nukua fɔfɔ dzi la, Boaz gblɔ na nuxalawo be woana wòafɔ nukuawo le bablawo me, eye womegaxe mɔ nɛ kura o.
16 And let fall also [some] of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave [them], that she may glean [them], and rebuke her not.
Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, woalũ nuku aɖewo tso nuku babla me ada ɖe eŋgɔ be wòafɔ, eye womegabia nya aɖekee o.
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out that which she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
Ale Rut fɔ nuku siwo ge ɖe agblea dzi la va se ɖe fiẽ. Emegbe la, enyɔ lu siwo wòfɔ ƒo ƒu la, eye eƒe dzidzeme anɔ lita blaeve-vɔ-eve.
18 And she took [it], and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her what she had reserved after she was satisfied.
Rut tsɔ lu la yi dua me, eye lɔ̃xoa kpɔ esi sinu wòte ŋu fɔ. Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, Rut he nuɖuɖu si wòɖu la ƒe susɔe ɖe go, eye wòtsɔe nɛ.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou labored? blessed be he that took knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to-day [is] Boaz.
Lɔ̃xoa biae be, “Afi ka tututue nèfɔ nuku le egbea? Afi ka nèwɔ dɔ le egbea? Woayra ŋutsu si ve nuwò alea!” Ale Rut gblɔ ame si ƒe agble me wòwɔ dɔ le la na lɔ̃xoa. Egblɔ nɛ be, “Ŋutsu si gbɔ mewɔ dɔ le egbe la ƒe ŋkɔe nye Boaz.”
20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed [be] he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said to her, The man [is] near of kin to us, one of our next kinsmen.
Naomi gblɔ na lɔ̃xoyɔvia be, “Yehowa neyrae! Medzudzɔ agbagbeawo kple kukuawo nu veve kpɔ o. Ŋutsu la nye míaƒe ƒometɔ ŋutɔŋutɔ, eye wònye ƒometɔ siwo wòle be woakpɔ mía dzi la dometɔ ɖeka.”
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said to me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
Rut, Moab nyɔnu la yi edzi be, “Egblɔ nam gɔ̃ hã be magava, eye manɔ nuxalawo yome kplikplikpli va se ɖe esime woawu nukuawo xaxa le agble blibo la me nu.”
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, [It is] good, my daughter, that thou shouldst go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
Naomi gblɔ na lɔ̃xoyɔvia Rut be, “Vinyenyɔnu, anyo na wò be nànɔ eƒe nyɔnuviwo ŋu, elabena ne èyi ame bubu aɖe ƒe agble me la, ɖewohĩ woava wɔ nuvevi wò.”
23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean to the end of barley-harvest and of wheat-harvest; and dwelt with her mother-in-law.
Ale Rut lé eɖokui ɖe Boaz ƒe dɔlanyɔnuwo ŋu henɔ nukuwo fɔm va se ɖe esime lu kple ƒo ŋeɣi wu enu, eye wònɔ lɔ̃xoa gbɔ.
