< 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?
Hitichun nikhat Naomi in Ruth kom’a chun, “Kachanu keiman na-inchen theina ding ngaito peh leng hichu nang dinga phalou ding ham?
2 And now [is] not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to-night in the threshing-floor.
Boaz hi eini dinga i-kinai pi pen i-inko’u khat ahi, chule khotona neitah anungah goihotoh natoh khomsah jing ahi. Tujan’a hi aman achangphol’a sakol chang aden ahi.
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.
Hijeh chun kasei bang bang hin bollin, “Kisiltheng sel inlang thao kinunlang navon hoipen kivon inlang, achangvohna pholla chun gachesuh’in ahinla aneh’a adonchai tokah’in Boaz chu kimusah hih in.
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.
Alup tengleh alupna mun chu melchih’in, chuteng chenlang akengphang chu hohdoh inlang hilai mun’ah chun lum in. Hiteng chuleh aman nabolding nahin seipih tante,” ati.
5 And she said to her, All that thou sayest to me I will do.
Ruth nin adonbutin, “Bollin nati tichu kabol jeng ding ahi,” ati.
6 And she went down to the floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law bade her.
Hiche jan chun amanu jong achesuh in atehpi’n bol ding’a aseipeh jouse chu aboltan ahi.
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 chun aneh’a adonjouva chuleh lungkipah tah a aum jouvin Boaz chu achang kiset vum’na pang’a chun agalumtan ahi. Hichun Ruth jong kangchan hung vahlut’in, akengphang teni ahohdoh in alumtai.
8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Jan khangkim donnin Boaz chu ahung kin khang in, agah kihei leh akengphang kom’a numei khat analup chu amudoh tan ahi.
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.
Hichun aman jong “Koi nahim?” tia adohleh, numeinu chun ahin donbut’in “Keima nasohnu Ruth kahi, naponchu keijong neihin silpehin ajeh chu nangma hi insungmi kinaipi penchu nahi,” ati.
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.
Hichun Boaz injong aseijin, “Kachanu Pakaiyin phatthei naboh hen, nangman natoh masat thilpha sanga jong tuahi aphacheh nabol kit ahitai, hao-hen vaijongleh gollhang hojoh hol louva umah nahi.
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.
Chuti ahile, tun kachanu lungkham hih in keiman boldinga lom hochu hinbol nange, ajeh chu hiche khopi sunga mijouse hin nangma hi numei phachomtah nahi ahetsoh keiyu ahi.
12 And now it is true that I [am thy] near kinsman: yet there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Keima hi nakinaipi insungmi chu kahinai ahinla keisanga nakinaipi khat aum nalai in ahi.
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.
Tujan gehkhovah den inlang, jingkah teng amachun phung kinaipi toh dingdol akin nabolpeh leh apha ahijinge, ahinlah aman hichu abol nomlouva ahileh hingjing Pakai minna kasei ahi, keiman nabolpeh nang nge, tun jingkah geijin umtan,” ati.
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.
Hitichun Ruth jong Boaz kengphangbulla chun jingkah geijin alum’in, ahin jingkah lang kungbul le mi kimah donin athoudohin, Boaz in, “Hiche changvohna pholla hin numei aumme ti koimachan hetda hen,” ati
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.
Hichejou chun Boaz in amanu koma chun, “Napon chu hin phan” atin sakol chang chu atena dim gup jen asempeh in akiputsah tai, hitichun khopi sunglang’a chun achetan ahi.
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.
Ruth chu atehpi kom alhun phat’in Naomi’n, “Ipi toh nagabah hinam?” atileh, Ruth chun Boaz in abolpeh hojouse chu aseipeh tan ahi.
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.
Chuleh Ruth chun aseiyin, “Natehpi komma sagoh keuva nakinung le louding ahi tin sakol chang atenadim gup eihin pohsah e,” ati.
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.
Hichun Naomi’n amanu kommah, “Kanao Itobang thil hung sohdoh mong mong am ti ijah kahsen ngah hat’in, amapa chun tunia hi thilkhat atohlhah tokah a umthimlou helding ahi,” ati.
