Ruth 3
1 Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
Ruth te a mani Naomi loh, “Ka canu aw, nang ham ngolbuel khaw ka tlap mapawt a? Te ni nang ham a voelphoeng eh.
2 And now [is] not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to-night in the threshing-floor.
A lopai na balak puei Boaz te mah kah huiko moenih a? Anih te khoyin ah cangtilhmuen kah cangtun a cop lah ko te.
3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go down to the floor: [but] make not thyself known to the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
Te dongah sil uh lamtah situi hluk. Te phoeiah na himbai te na pum dongah bai lamtah cangtilhmuen la suntla thuk. A caak a ok a coeng duela hlang taengah moe boeh.
4 And it shall be when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
Tedae a yalh tue om bitni. Te vaengah a yalh nah hmuen te phatuem lamtah pahoi paan. Te phoeiah a kho te khawn pah lamtah yalh pah. Te vaengah na saii ham te amah loh nang taengah a thui bitni,” a ti nah.
5 And she said to her, All that thou sayest to me I will do.
Te dongah a mani te, “Kai taengah na thui boeih te ka saii bitni,” a ti nah.
6 And she went down to the floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law bade her.
Te dongah cangtilhmuen la suntla tih a mani loh anih a uen bangla boeih a saii.
7 And when Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid herself down.
Boaz khaw a caak a ok tih a lungbuei a voelphoeng nen tah yalh hamla canghlom hmatoeng te a paan. Te vaengah a muel la a paan tih a kho a khawn pah phoeiah a yalh pah.
8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Khoyin boengli ah tah tongpa te lakueng tih a hoi uh hatah a kho taengah huta tarha ana yalh pah.
9 And he said, Who [art] thou? And she answered, I [am] Ruth thy handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou [art] a near kinsman.
Te dongah, “Nang ulae?” a ti nah hatah, “Na salnu kai, Ruth ni, nan tlan coeng dongah na salnu he na himbai hmoi neh ng'khuk thil laeh,” a ti nah.
10 And he said, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD, my daughter: [for] thou hast shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou didst not follow young men, whether poor or rich.
Te dongah, “Ka canu, BOEIPA dongah na yoethen coeng. Hlanglen mai khaw, tattloel mai cakhaw tongpang hnukah na caeh pawt dongah lamhma kah lakah a hnuk lam ni na sitlohnah neh na voelphoeng pueng.
11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou [art] a virtuous woman.
Te dongah ka canu na hoe boeih te rhih boeh, nang tah tatthai nu tila ka pilnam kah vongka tom ah m'ming coeng dongah nang ham kan saii bitni.
12 And now it is true that I [am thy] near kinsman: yet there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Kai loh kan tlan ham khaw tueng ngawn coeng dae aka tlan ham te kai lakah aka yoei rhep om pueng.
13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, [that] if he will perform to thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, [as] the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
Khoyin ah rhaeh lamtah mincang ah ni nang aka tlan te a om atah a then la n'tlan saeh. Tedae nang te tlan ham a ngaih pawt atah BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah nang te kamah loh kan tlan bitni, mincang duela yalh mai dae,” a ti nah.
14 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came to the floor.
Te dongah mincang duela a kho tang, a kho tang ah a yalh pah. Tedae a hui te hlang loh a hmat hlan ah vawl thoo coeng. Te vaengah Boaz longtah, “Cangtilhmuen la huta ha pawk he a ming uh moenih,” a ti.
15 Also he said, Bring the vail that [thou hast] upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid [it] on her: and she went into the city.
Te vaengah, “Na pum dongkah himbai te hang khuen lamtah duen lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah himbai te a tuuk doela cangtun khoi rhuk a loeng pah phoeiah Ruth a phueih sak tih kho khuila cet.
16 And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who [art] thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
A mani taengla a pawk vaengah, “Ka canu nang u taengah lae na caeh,” a ti nah hatah, hlang loh anih ham a saii pah te boeih a thui.
17 And she said, These six [measures] of barley he gave me; for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother-in-law.
Te dongah, “Cangtun khoi rhuk he kai ham ham poep tih, ‘Na mani te kuttling la paan boeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou knowest how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he hath finished the thing this day.
Te vaengah, “Ka canu tihnin kah olka he a khah uh hlan atah hlang te mong mahpawh, metlamlae olka a dip eh tite na ming duela ngol,” a ti nah.
