Ruth 2
1 And Naomi hath an acquaintance of her husband's, a man mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name [is] Boaz.
Naomi srɔ̃, Elimelek nɔviŋutsu aɖe nɔ Betlehem, ame si ŋkɔe nye Boaz, eye wònye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess saith unto Naomi, 'Let me go, I pray thee, into the field, and I gather among the ears of corn after him in whose eyes I find grace;' and she saith 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 goeth and cometh and gathereth in a field after the reapers, and her chance happeneth — the portion of the field is Boaz's who [is] of the family 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 lo, Boaz hath come from Beth-Lehem, and saith to the reapers, 'Jehovah [is] with you;' and they say to him, 'Jehovah doth 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 And Boaz saith to his young man who is set over the reapers, 'Whose [is] this young person?'
Boaz bia eƒe dɔwɔlawo dzi kpɔla be, “Ɖetugbi kae nye ema?”
6 And the young man who is set over the reapers answereth and saith, 'A young woman — Moabitess — she [is], who came back with Naomi from the fields of Moab,
Dzikpɔla la ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖetugbi si tso Moabnyigba dzi va kple lɔ̃xoa, Naomi lae.
7 and she saith, Let me glean, I pray thee — and I have gathered among the sheaves after the reapers; and she cometh and remaineth since the morning and till now; she sat in the house a little.
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 And Boaz saith unto Ruth, 'Hast thou not heard, my daughter? go not to glean in another field, and also, pass not over from this, and thus thou dost cleave to my young women:
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 thine eyes [are] on the field which they reap, and thou hast gone after them; have not I charged the young men not to touch thee? when thou art athirst then thou hast gone unto the vessels, and hast drunk from that which the young men draw.'
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 And she falleth on her face, and boweth herself to the earth, and saith unto him, 'Wherefore have I found grace in thine eyes, to discern me, and I 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 answereth and saith to her, 'It hath thoroughly been declared to me all that thou hast done with thy mother-in-law, after the death of thy husband, and thou dost leave thy father, and thy mother, and the land of thy birth, and dost come in unto a people which thou hast not known 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 Jehovah doth recompense thy work, and thy reward is complete from Jehovah, God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to take refuge.'
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 And she saith, 'Let me find grace in thine eyes, my lord, because thou hast comforted me, and because thou hast spoken unto the heart of thy maid-servant, and I — I am not as one of thy maid-servants.'
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 saith to her, 'At meal-time come nigh hither, and thou hast eaten of the bread, and dipped thy morsel in the vinegar.' And she sitteth at the side of the reapers, and he reacheth to her roasted corn, and she eateth, and is satisfied, and leaveth.
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 she riseth to glean, and Boaz chargeth his young men, saying, 'Even between the sheaves she doth glean, and ye do not cause her to blush;
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 also ye do surely cast to her of the handfuls — and have left, and she hath gleaned, and ye do not push against her.'
Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, woalũ nuku aɖewo tso nuku babla me ada ɖe eŋgɔ be wòafɔ, eye womegabia nya aɖekee o.
17 And she gleaneth in the field till the evening, and beateth out that which she hath gleaned, and it is 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 taketh [it] up, and goeth into the city, and her mother-in-law seeth that which she hath gleaned, and she bringeth out and giveth to her that which she left from her satiety.
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 saith to her, 'Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? may he who is discerning thee be blessed.' And she declareth to her mother-in-law with whom she hath wrought, and saith, 'The name of the man with whom I have 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 saith to her daughter-in-law, 'Blessed [is] he of Jehovah who hath not forsaken His kindness with the living and with the dead;' and Naomi saith to her, 'The man is a relation of ours; he [is] of our redeemers.'
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 saith, 'Also he surely said unto me, Near the young people whom I have thou dost cleave till they have completed the whole of the harvest which I have.'
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 saith unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, 'Good, my daughter, that thou goest out with his young women, and they come not against thee in another 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 And she cleaveth to the young women of Boaz to glean, till the completion of the barley-harvest, and of the wheat-harvest, and she dwelleth 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.
