1 Forsothe a myyti man and a man `of grete richessis, `Booz bi name, `was kynysman of Elymelech.
Ɔbarima ɔdefo a na ɔyɛ okunini bi tenaa Betlehem a na wɔfrɛ no Boas. Na ɔyɛ Naomi kunu Elimelek busuani.
2 And Ruth of Moab seide to hir modir in lawe, If thou comaundist, Y schal go in to the feeld, and Y schal gadere eeris of corn that fleen the hondis of reperis, where euer Y schal fynde grace of an hosebonde man merciful in me. To whom sche answeride, Go, my douyter.
Da koro bi, Rut, Moabni, ka kyerɛɛ Naomi se, “Ma menkɔ afuw mu na minkodi obiara a menya nʼanim anuonyam akyi nkɔboaboa atoko ase.” Na Naomi kae se, “Eye, me babea, kɔ.”
3 Therfor `sche yede, and gaderide eeris of corn after the backis of reperis. Forsothe it bifelde, that `thilke feeld hadde a lord, Booz bi name, that was of the kynrede of Elymelech.
Enti Rut kɔ kodii atwafo no akyi. Na nea ɛbae ne sɛ, ohuu sɛ ɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ Boas a ɔyɛ nʼase Elimelek busuani no afuw mu.
4 And lo! he cam fro Bethleem. And he seide to the reperis, The Lord be with you. Whiche answeriden to hym, The Lord blesse thee.
Bere a ɔwɔ hɔ no, Boas fi Betlehem bae. Okyiaa atwafo no se, “Awurade ne mo ntena!” Atwafo no gyee so se, “Awurade nhyira wo.”
5 And Booz seide to the yong man that was souereyn to the reperis, Who is this damysel?
Boas bisaa ne sohwɛfo no se, “Ababaa bɛn na ɔwɔ nohɔ hɔ no?”
6 Whiche answeride, This is the womman of Moab, that cam with Noemy fro the cuntrey of Moab; and sche preiede,
Sohwɛfo no buae se, “Ɔyɛ ababaa bi a ofi Moab a ɔne Naomi bae.
7 that sche schulde gedere eeris of corn leeuynge bihynde, and sue the `steppis of reperis; and fro the morewtid til now sche stondith in the feeld, and sotheli nethir at a moment sche turnede ayen hoom.
Anɔpa yi ara na obisaa me se, obetumi adi atwafo no akyi aboaboa atoko ano ana? Ɔyɛ nsiyɛfo a bere kakraa bi na ɔde homee wɔ pata no ase hɔ.”
8 And Booz seide to Ruth, Douytir, here thou; go thou not in to anothir feelde to gadere, nether go awei fro this place, but be thou ioyned to my dameselis,
Boas kɔɔ hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Rut se, “Me babea tie. Wo ne yɛn ntena ha ara na boaboa atoko; nkɔ afuw foforo biara mu. Di mmea a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ mʼafuw yi mu no akyi pɛɛ.
9 and sue thou where thei repen; for Y comaundide to my children, that `no man be diseseful to thee; but also if thou thirstist, go to the fardels, and drynke `watris, of whiche my children drynken.
Hwɛ faako a wɔretwa wɔ afuw no mu na di wɔn akyi. Mabɔ mmerante no kɔkɔ sɛ wɔnnhaw wo. Na sɛ osukɔm de wo a, nom nsu a wɔakɔsaw afi abura no mu no bi.”
10 And sche felde on hir face, and worschipide on the erthe; and seide to hym, Wherof is this to me, that Y schulde fynde grace bifor thin iyen, that thou woldist knowe me a straunge womman?
Rut butuwii, de nʼanim kyerɛɛ fam daa no ase. Na ɔkae se, “Adɛn nti na manya saa adom yi wɔ wʼani so, me a meyɛ ɔnanani yi?”
11 To whom he answeride, Alle thingis ben teld to me, whiche thou didist to thi modir in lawe after the deeth of thin hosebonde, and that thou hast forsake thi fadir and modir, and the lond `in which thou were borun, and hast come to a puple, whom thou `knowist not bifore.
Boas buae se, “Nea woayɛ ama wʼase efi wo kunu wu akyi nyinaa no, wɔaka akyerɛ me, sɛ wufii wʼagya ne wo na ne wo man mu na wo ne nnipa a wunnim wɔn wɔ baabiara bɛtenae no.
12 The Lord yelde to thee for thi werk, and resseyue thou ful mede of the Lord God of Israel, to whom thou camest, and vndir whose wengis thou fleddist.
Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn a woanya guankɔbea wɔ ne ntaban ase no nnom wo.”
13 And sche seide, My lord, Y haue founde grace bifor thin iyen, which hast coumfortid me, and hast spoke to the herte of thin handmaide, which am not lijk oon of thi damesels.
Na ɔno nso kae se, “Ma menkɔ so nnya wʼanim adom daa, me wura. Woama me awerɛkyekye na woakasa akyerɛ wʼafenaa ayamye so, me a mensɛ na memfata wo nnwumayɛfo no mu baako mpo no.”
14 And Booz seide to hir, Whanne the our of etyng is, come thou hidur, and ete breed, and wete thi mussel in vynegre. Therfor sche sat at the `side of reperis; and he dresside to hir potage, and sche eet, and was fillid; and sche took the relifs.
Eduu adidibere no, Boas frɛɛ no se, “Bra ma yennidi. Wutumi de wo brodo no bɔ nsa biara a wopɛ mu.” Enti ɔne nʼawitwafo no tenaa ase na Boas maa no aduan sen sɛnea obetumi adi mpo.
15 And sche roos fro thennus to gadere eeris of corn bi custom. Forsothe Booz comaundide to hise children, and seide, Also if sche wole repe with you,
Bere a Rut san kɔɔ nʼadwuma so bio no, Boas ka kyerɛɛ ne mmerante no se, “Momma no mmoaboa atoko no ano mfi nʼafiafi no mu na munnsiw no kwan.
16 forbede ye not hir, and also `of youre handfuls caste ye forth of purpos, and suffre ye to abide, that sche gadere with out schame; and no man repreue hir gaderynge.
Na munyiyi afiafi no mu de no bi nnyae mu ngu fam mma no na ɔnsesaw, na monnhaw no.”
17 Therfor sche gaderide in the feeld `til to euentid; and sche beet with a yerde, and schook out tho thingis that sche hadde gaderid; and sche foond of barly as the mesure of ephi, that is, thre buschels.
Enti Rut sesaw atoko no wɔ hɔ da mu no nyinaa na ɔporow atoko no saa anwummere no, onyaa bɛyɛ lita aduonu abien.
18 Which sche bar, and turnede ayen in to the citee, and schewide to hir modir in lawe; ferthermore sche brouyte forth, `and yaf to hir the relifs of hir mete, with which mete sche was fillid.
Ɔsoa de kɔɔ kurom, de kɔkyerɛɛ nʼase. Afei, Rut de nʼawiaduan a ogyaw no maa no.
19 And the modir in lawe seide to hir, Where `gaderidist thou to dai, and where `didist thou werk? Blessid be he, that hadde mercy on thee. And sche telde to hir, at whom sche wrouyte; and sche seide the name `of the man, that he was clepid Booz.
Naomi hui no, ɔteɛɛ mu se, “Ɛdɔɔso yiye! Na ɛhe na nnɛ woboaboaa saa atoko yi nyinaa ano fi? Ɛhe na wokɔyɛɛ adwuma? Awurade nhyira nea ɔboaa wo no!” Rut kaa ɔbarima a ɔyɛɛ adwuma wɔ nʼafum no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ nʼase no, ɔtoaa so kae se, “Nea meyɛɛ adwuma wɔ nʼafum no, wɔfrɛ no Boas.”
20 To whom Noemy answeride, Blessid be he of the Lord, for he kepte also to deed men the same grace, which he yaf to the quike. And eft sche seide, He is oure kynysman.
Naomi ka kyerɛɛ nʼase no se, “Awurade nhyira no. Ɔrekyerɛ yɛn ne wo kunu a wawu no nʼayamye. Saa ɔbarima no yɛ abusuafo a wɔbɛn yɛn pɛɛ no mu baako a ɔyɛ abusua no mu ogyefo baako.”
21 And Ruth seide, Also he comaundide this to me, that so longe Y schulde be ioyned to hise reperis, til alle the cornes weren repid.
Rut kae se, “Nea ɛka ho bio ne sɛ, mpo, Boas ka kyerɛɛ me se, mensan mmra na me ne nʼawitwafo no mmɛtena nkosi bere a wobewie otwa no.”
22 To whom hir modir in lawe seide, My douyter, it is betere that thou go `out to repe with hise damysels, lest in another feeld ony man ayenstonde thee.
Naomi teɛɛ mu se, “Anwonwasɛm ni! Yɛ nea ɔka no. Wo ne nʼadwumayɛfo no ntena nkosi sɛ wobewie otwa no. Wʼasom bedwo wo wɔ hɔ sen afuw biara mu.”
23 `Therfor sche was ioyned to the damesels of Booz; and so longe sche rap with hem, til bothe barli and wheete weren closid in the bernys.
Enti Rut ne mmea a wɔwɔ Boas afum hɔ no yɛɛ adwuma. Ɔne wɔn boaboaa atoko no ano kosii atokotwa no awiei. Afei, ɔne wɔn twaa awi nso. Nanso saa bere no nyinaa na ɔne nʼase na ɛte.
