< Ruth 3 >
1 And Naomi her mother-in-law saith to her, 'My daughter, do not I seek for thee rest, that it may be well with thee?
Hahoi, a mani Naomi ni ka canu, nang na hlout thai nahanlah kai ni roumnae hmuen nang hanelah ka tawng mahoeh namaw.
2 and now, is not Boaz of our acquaintance, with whose young women thou hast been? lo, he is winnowing the threshing-floor of barley to-night,
Na huiko lah kaawm e maimae bawipa Boaz teh maimae huiko nahoehmaw. Sahnin, tangmin laikawk dawk barli cakang a karue.
3 and thou hast bathed, and anointed thyself, and put thy garments upon thee, and gone down to the threshing-floor; let not thyself be known to the man till he complete to eat and to drink;
Nang teh tui kamhluknae, satui kâhluknae, kamthoupnae khohnat nateh laikawk koe cet leih, ahni ni rawca be a ca hoehnahlan teh kâpâtue hanh.
4 and it cometh to pass when he lieth down, that thou hast known the place where he lieth down, and hast gone in, and uncovered his feet, and lain down, — and he doth declare to thee that which thou dost do.'
Ahni a inae patoup nateh a i navah kâen, a khok a khu e hni hawng pouh nateh ip la a. Nang ni na sak hane kawi hah a dei han atipouh.
5 And she saith unto her, 'All that thou sayest — I do.'
Ahni ni a mani koe, na dei e pueng ka sak han atipouh.
6 And she goeth down [to] the threshing-floor, and doth according to all that her mother-in-law commanded her
Laikawk koe a cei teh a mani ni lawkthui e patetlah a sak.
7 And Boaz eateth and drinketh, and his heart is glad; and he goeth in to lie down at the end of the heap; and she cometh in gently, and uncovereth his feet, and lieth down.
Boaz teh canei teh lunghawi laihoi laikawk koe a cei teh a i navah, Ruth ni duem a hnai teh a khok dawk a khu e hni hah a hawng teh a i.
8 And it cometh to pass, at the middle of the night, that the man trembleth, and turneth himself, and lo, a woman is lying at his feet.
Karumsaning vah tongpa teh loumkalue, a kamlang navah, napui a khok koe ao e hah a hmu.
9 And he saith, 'Who [art] thou?' and she saith, 'I [am] Ruth thy handmaid, and thou hast spread thy skirt over thy handmaid, for thou [art] a redeemer.'
Api nang maw telah a pacei navah, kai teh bawipa nange na san Ruth doeh, bawipa nang teh ratang thai e miphun lah na o dawk, bawipa na sannu hnipoi hoi na khu leih atipouh navah,
10 And he saith, 'Blessed [art] thou of Jehovah, my daughter; thou hast dealt more kindly at the latter end than at the beginning — not to go after the young men, either poor or rich.
Ahni ni ka canu kahring Cathut ni yawhawinae na poe seh. Nang teh ka tawnta e tongpa, ka roedeng e tongpa buetbuet touh na kângue hoeh. Hmaloe na sak e pahrennae hlak a hnukkhu na sak e pahrennae hoe a len.
11 And now, my daughter, fear not, all that thou sayest I do to thee, for all the gate of my people doth know that thou [art] a virtuous woman.
Ka canu na lungpuen hanh. Na hei e pueng teh ka sak han. Nang teh a nuen kahawi e napui lah na o e ka miphun onae kho pueng ni a panue.
12 And now, surely, true, that I [am] a redeemer, but also there is a redeemer nearer than I.
Kai teh ratang thainae ka tawn e miphun katang lah ka o. Hateiteh, kai hlak vah ratang thainae ka tawn e miphun buet touh ao rah.
13 Lodge to night, and it hath been in the morning, if he doth redeem thee, well: he redeemeth; and if he delight not to redeem thee, then I have redeemed thee — I; Jehovah liveth! lie down till the morning.'
Sahnin tangmin teh awm ei, ahni ni ratang thainae paca lah sak ngai pawiteh sak naseh, sak ngai hoehpawiteh Cathut a hring e patetlah kai ni ka sak han, amom totouh ip ei atipouh.
14 And she lieth down at his feet till the morning, and riseth before one doth discern another; and he saith, 'Let it not be known that the woman hath come into the floor.'
Ruth ni amom totouh a khok koevah a i teh buet touh hoi buet touh panuenae atueng a pha hoehnahlan vah a thaw. Tongpa ni hai napui koe hete laikawk koe na tho e apihai panuek sak hanh telah atipouh.
15 And he saith, 'Give the covering which [is] on thee, and keep hold on it;' and she keepeth hold on it, and he measureth six [measures] of barley, and layeth [it] on her; and he goeth into the city.
Hathnukkhu, nang ni na sin e cauithun hah patueng atipouh e patetlah a patueng. Barli cakang omer taruk touh a nue pouh. A lû dawk a thueng teh im a ban.
16 And she cometh in unto her mother-in-law, and she saith, 'Who [art] thou, my daughter?' and she declareth to her all that the man hath done to her.
A mani koe a pha toteh bangtelamaw telah a pacei. Nang dawkvah ahni ni a sak e thoseh,
17 And she saith, 'These six [measures] of barley he hath given to me, for he said, Thou dost not go in empty unto thy mother-in-law.'
ahni ni nang teh na mani koe kuthrawng hoi cet hanh telah barli cakang taruk touh a poe e hai thoseh a dei pouh.
18 And she saith, 'Sit still, my daughter, till thou dost know how the matter falleth, for the man doth not rest except he hath completed the matter to-day.'
A mani ni hai ka canu hete hno bangtelah hoi maw abaw han tie na panue hoeh totouh tahung ei. Tongpa ni sahnin hete hno abaw hoehnahlan muengmueng awm hoeh telah a dei pouh.
