< 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.
Na he whanaunga to Naomi, ara to tana tahu, he tangata taonga nui, no te hapu o Erimereke; ko Poaha tona ingoa.
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.'
Na ka mea a Rutu Moapi ki a Naomi, Kia haere ahau ki te mara ki te hamu i nga puku parei i muri i te tangata e manakohia mai ai ahau. Ano ra ko tera, Haere, e taku tamahine.
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.
Na haere ana ia, a, no te taenga atu, ka hamu i te mara i muri i nga kaikokoti: a tupono noa ia ko te wahi o te mara i a Poaha o te hapu o Erimereke.
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.'
Na ko te taenga o Poaha i Peterehema, ka mea ki nga kaikokoti, Kia noho a Ihowa ki a koutou. Ano ra ko ratou ki a ia, Kia manaakitia koe e Ihowa.
5 And Boaz saith to his young man who is set over the reapers, 'Whose [is] this young person?'
Katahi ka mea a Poaha ki tana tangata i tohutohu nei i nga kaikokoti, Na wai tenei kotiro?
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,
Na ka whakahoki te kaitohutohu i nga kaikokoti, ka mea, Ko te kotiro Moapi tenei i hoki tahi mai nei raua ko Naomi i te whenua o Moapa;
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.
I mea mai hoki ia, Tukua ahau kia hamu, kia kohikohi i roto i nga paihere, i muri i nga kaikokoti: heoi haere ana ia, a i konei tonu ia o te ata iho ano a tae mai ki naianei; he iti nei tona noho i te whare.
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:
Na ka mea a Poaha ki a Rutu, E kore ranei koe e rongo mai, e taku tamahine? Kaua e haere ki tetahi mara ke hamu ai; kaua ano e haere atu i konei; engari me noho tonu ki konei, ki aku kotiro.
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.'
Kia matatau ou kanohi ki te mara e kotia ana e ratou, ka whai i a ratou: kahore ianei ahau i ki atu ki nga taitamariki kia kaua ratou e pa ki a koe? E matewai hoki koe, haere ki nga oko, inu ai i ta nga taitamariki i utu mai ai.
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?'
Na ka tapapa iho tera, ka piko iho ki te whenua, a ka mea ki a ia, Na te aha koe i manako mai ai ki ahau, i mohio ai hoki ki ahau, he manene nei hoki ahau?
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.
Na ka whakahoki a Poaha, ka mea ki a ia, Kua ata korerotia mai ki ahau nga mea katoa i mea ai koe ki tou hungawai i muri i te matenga o tau tahu, tau whakarerenga hoki i tou papa, i tou whaea, i te whenua ano i whanau ai koe, a haere mai ana ki te iwi kihai i mohiotia e koe i mua ake nei.
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.'
Ma Ihowa e utu tau mahi; kia ata rite hoki te utu e homai ki a koe e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, kua tae mai nei hoki koe ki raro ki ona parirau okioki ai.
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.'
Ano ra ko tera, Kia manakohia mai ahau, e toku ariki; ka ora nei hoki toku ngakau i a koe, he pai hoki tau kupu ki tau pononga; ko ahau ia kahore e rite ki tetahi o au pononga wahine.
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.
I mea ano a Poaha ki a ia i te wa i kai ai, Haere mai ki konei, ki te kai taro mau, ka tuku hoki i tau kongakonga ki roto ki te winika. Na ka noho ia ki te taha o nga kaikokoti, i homai ano e ratou he witi pahuhu mana. Na kai ana ia, a ka makona, a toe ake.
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;
A, i tona whakatikanga ki te hamu, ka ako a Poaha i ana taitamariki, ka mea, Kia hamu ano ia i roto i nga paihere; kaua ano hoki ia e meinga kia whakama.
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.'
Whakangahorotia ano etahi kapunga mana, whakarerea atu kia kohia e ia, kaua hoki e riria.
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;
Na ka hamu ia i te mara a ahiahi noa, a patupatu ana e ia ana i hamu ai: a me te mea kotahi te epa parei.
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.
Na tangohia ana e ia, a haere ana ki te pa, a ka kite tona hungawai i ana i hamu ai: i whakaputainga ano e ia, i homai ki a ia nga toenga i a ia kua makona.
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.'
Na ka mea tona hungawai ki a ia, I hamu koe ki hea inaianei? I hea hoki koe e mahi ana? kia manaakitia te tangata i mohio na ki a koe. Na korerotia ana e ia ki tona hungawai te tangata i mahi nei ia ki a ia, a ka mea, Ko te ingoa o te tangata i mahi nei ahau ki a ia inaianei ko Poaha.
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.'
Ano ra ko Naomi ki tana hunaonga, Kia manaakitia ia e Ihowa, kihai nei tona aroha i mahue ki te hunga ora, ki te hunga mate. Na ka mea a Naomi ki a ia, He tata taua tangata ki a taua, no o taua whanaunga tupu.
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.'
Na ka mea ano a Rutu Moapi, I mea mai ano hoki ia ki ahau, Kia tata tonu koe ki aku tangata, kia poto ra ano aku mea katoa te kokoti.
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.'
Na ka mea a Naomi ki a Rutu, ki tana hunaonga, He pai, e taku tamahine, ki te haere tahi koe me ana kotiro, kei riria koe i te mara ke.
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.
Na kei te whai tonu ia i nga kotiro a Poaha, ka hamu a poto noa nga parei te kokoti, me te witi hoki te kokoti; i tona hungawai ia tona nohoanga.
