< 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.
Ma Naomi nwere otu nwanne di ya, onye bara ụba, bụrụkwa onye a maara nke ọma, onye si nʼagbụrụ Elimelek. Aha nwoke a bụ Boaz.
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.'
Rut onye Moab, gwara Naomi okwu sị ya, “Kwere ka m gaa nʼubi ebe a na-aghọ ọka, ka m lee ma m ga-achọta ihuọma nʼihu ndị na-aghọ ọka, ndị ga-ekwere ka m tụtụkọta ọka ndị ha hapụrụ.” Naomi zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma nwa m, gaa.”
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.
Ya mere, Rut pụrụ gaa na-atụtụ ọka nʼazụ ndị na-ewe ihe ubi. Ma dịka ihe si dị, Rut chọpụtara na ubi ọ na-atụtụ ọka bụ ubi Boaz, onye si nʼagbụrụ Elimelek.
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.'
Nʼoge ahụ, Boaz nʼonwe ya si na Betlehem bịarute nʼubi ahụ, kelee ndị ahụ na-aghọ mkpụrụ nʼubi sị ha, “Onyenwe anyị nọnyere unu.” Ha niile zakwara sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị gọzie gị.”
5 And Boaz saith to his young man who is set over the reapers, 'Whose [is] this young person?'
Mgbe Boaz hụrụ Rut, ọ jụrụ onyeisi ndị ọrụ ubi ya sị, “Onye ka nwanyị a bụ?”
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,
Onye nlekọta ọrụ ubi ahụ zaghachiri, “Ọ bụ onye Moab ahụ so Naomi lọta.
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.
Ọ sịrị, ‘Biko kwere ka m soro ndị ọrụ nʼazụ tụtụkọtaa ukwu ọka ha hapụrụ.’ Kemgbe ụtụtụ ọ bịara, ọ kwụsịbeghị ọrụ ya karịakwa naanị nwa mgbe nta o zuru ike nʼokpuru ndo.”
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:
Ya mere, Boaz gwara Rut okwu sị ya, “Nwa m nwanyị, gee m ntị. Agakwala ịtụtụ ọka nʼubi ọzọ, esitekwala nʼebe a pụọ. Soro ụmụ agbọghọ na-ejere m ozi nọdụ nʼebe a.
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.'
Lezie anya nʼubi ebe ndị ikom na-ewe ihe ubi, ma soro ụmụ agbọghọ ndị a. Enyela m ndị ikom ndị a iwu ka ha ghara ịmetụ gị aka. Mgbe ọbụla agụụ mmiri gụrụ gị, gaa nʼite mmiri ndị ahụ ndị ikom gbanyere mmiri kuru mmiri ṅụọ.”
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?'
Mgbe Boaz na-agwa ya okwu, Rut hulatara isi ya ala. Emesịa o kwuru sị, “Gịnị mere m ji chọta ụdị amara dị otu a nʼebe ị nọ, na ị hụtara m, ebe ị maara na m bụ naanị onye mba ọzọ?”
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 zara sị ya, “Anụla m ihe niile i meere nne di gị site nʼoge di gị nwụrụ, na otu i si hapụ nne gị na nna gị, na ala ebe amụrụ gị, bịa nʼebe a ibi nʼetiti ndị ị na-amaghị na mbụ.
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.'
Ka Onyenwe anyị kwụghachi gị ụgwọ ihe ọma ndị a i mere. Ka Onyenwe anyị onye bụ Chineke Izrel, onye ị gbabara nʼokpuru nku ya izere ndụ kwụghachi gị nkwụghachi dị ukwu nʼihi ezi ọrụ gị niile.”
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 zara sị ya, “Ka m gaa nʼihu na-achọta amara nʼebe ị nọ, onyenwe m. Nʼihi na ị kasịela m obi, gwakwa m, odibo nwanyị gị, okwu dị nro. Ọ bụ ezie na m abụghị otu nʼime ndị odibo nwanyị gị.”
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.
Mgbe oge iri nri ruru, Boaz sịrị ya, “Bịa nso nʼebe a, were ụfọdụ nri rie, sunyekwa achịcha gị nʼime mmanya viniga.” Mgbe o soro ndị ahụ na-ewe ihe ubi nọdụ ala iri ihe, o nyere ya ụfọdụ ọka a hụrụ nʼọkụ. O riri, rijuo afọ ma nri e nyere ya fọdụrụ.
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;
Mgbe o biliri ịchịkọtakwa ọka, Boaz nyere ụmụ okorobịa ya iwu, “Hapụnụ ya ka ọ chịkọta ọka ọ bụladị nʼetiti ukwu ọka ndị guzo eguzo, unu agwala ya okwu ihere ọbụla.
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.'
Unu sitekwa nʼukwu ọka mịpụtara ya ụfọdụ tụsara ya nʼala ka ọ tụtụrụ. Unu abarala ya mba.”
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;
Ya mere, Rut tụtụrụ ọka nʼubi ahụ ruo oge anyasị. Mgbe ọ fuchasịrị ọka balị niile ọ tụtụtara, o nwetara ihe nwere ike iru otu bushel.
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.
O buuru ya baa nʼime obodo, bunye ya nne di ya, nyekwa ya nri o rifọrọ mgbe o rijuchara afọ.
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.'
Nne di ya jụrụ ya, “Ebee ka ị tụtụrụ ọka taa? Ebee ka ị rụrụ ọrụ? Ka nwoke ahụ hụtara gị bụrụ onye a gọziri agọzi.” Rut kọọrọ nne di ya banyere onye ahụ ọ rụrụ ọrụ na nke ya. Ọ sịrị, “Aha nwoke mụ na ya rụrụ ọrụ bụ 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.'
Mgbe ahụ Naomi zara nwunye nwa ya sị, “Onye Onyenwe anyị gọziri ka ọ bụ, onye na-ahapụbeghị igosi ebere ya nye ndị dị ndụ na ndị nwụrụ anwụ. Nwoke a bụ otu nʼime ndị agbụrụ anyị, otu onye nʼime ndị onye mgbapụta anyị.”
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.'
Mgbe ahụ Rut, onye Moab sịrị, “Ihe ọ sịkwara m bụ, ‘Nọnyere ndị ọrụ m tutu ruo mgbe ha ghọchara ọka niile dị nʼubi m.’”
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 sịrị Rut, nwunye nwa ya, “Nwa m nwanyị, ọ kaara gị mma ime dịka o kwuru. Soro ụmụ agbọghọ nọ nʼubi ya nʼazụ tụtụọ ọka ị na-atụtụ, nʼihi na nʼubi onye ọzọ, e nwere ike imerụ gị ahụ.”
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.
Ya mere, Rut sogidere ụmụ agbọghọ Boaz na-atụtụ ọka, tutu ruo ọgwụgwụ ịghọ ọka balị na wiiti. Ya na nne di ya bigidekwara.
