< 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?
A LAILA, olelo mai o Naomi kona makuahonowaiwahine, E kuu kaikamahine, aole anei au e imi i wahi e hoomaha ai nou, i mea e pomaikai ai oe?
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,
Aole anei no ko kakou hoahanau o Boaza, nona na kaikamahine au i noho pu ai? Aia hoi ke kanana nei ia i ka huabale i keia po ma ke kahua hahi.
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;
Nolaila ea, e holoi oe ia oe iho, a e hamo hoi, a e hookomo i kou lole, a e iho oe ilalo i ke kahua; a mai hoike aku oe ia oe iho i ua kanaka la, a pau kana ai ana, a me kana inu ana.
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.'
Eia hoi kekahi; i ka manawa ana e moe ai, e nana pono oe i kona wahi e moe ana, a e komo aku oe, a e wehe i kona mau kapuwai, a moe iho, a nana no e hai mai ia oe i ka mea au e hana'i.
5 And she saith unto her, 'All that thou sayest — I do.'
I aku la keia ia ia, O na mea a pau au e kauoha mai nei, e hana no au.
6 And she goeth down [to] the threshing-floor, and doth according to all that her mother-in-law commanded her
Iho aku la oia ilalo i ke kahua, a hana iho la e like me na mea a pau a kona makuahonowaiwahine i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
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.
A ai o Boaza, a inu, a olioli kona naau, alaila, hele aku la ia e moe ma ka welau a ka puu ai; a hele malie mai la ia, a wehe iho la i kona mau kapuwai, a moe iho la.
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.
A hiki i ke aumoe, makau iho la ua kanaka la, no ka mea, i kona oni ana, aia hoi he wahine, e moe ana ma kona mau kapuwai.
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.'
I mai la ia, Owai oe? I mai la kela, o Ruta wau, o kau kauwawahine, nolaila ea, e halii mai i kou kapa maluna o kau kauwawahine, no ka mea, o oe no kekahi mea i pili koko.
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.
I mai la ia, E pomaikai ana oe ia Iehova, e kuu kaikamahine e; no ka mea, ua oi aku kou lokomaikai hope, i ko ka mua, i kou hahai ole ana mahope o na kanaka ui, aole i ka mea hune, aole hoi i ka mea waiwai.
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.
Nolaila ea, mai makau oe, e kuu kaikamahine. O na mea a pau au e olelo mai la, na'u ia e hana aku ia oe; no ka mea, ua ike ko'u poe kanaka a pau, he kaikamahine pono oe.
12 And now, surely, true, that I [am] a redeemer, but also there is a redeemer nearer than I.
He oiaio no, owau ka hoahanau pili ia oe. Eia ae kekahi mea i pili mua aku, he hope au.
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.'
I keia po e kakali ai a kakahiaka, alaila, ina nana oe e mare, ua pono, e mare no ia; aka, ina aole ia e makemake e mare mai ia oe, ma ke ola ana o Iehova, na'u oe e mare. E moe oe a kakahiaka.
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.'
Moe iho la oia ma kona mau kapuwai a kakahiaka. A ala mai la ia mamua o ka wa e hiki ai kekahi ke hoomaopopo i kona hoa. I ae la ia, Mai hai aku i ka hele ana mai o ka wahine i ke kahua hahi.
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.
I hou aku la ia, Homai ka pale maluna ou, a e paa mai ia mea. A i kona paa ana mai, ana iho la ia i eono ana huabale, a kau aku la maluna ona; a hoi aku la ia i ke kulanakauhale.
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 hiki aku la ia i kona makuahonowaiwahine, ninau mai la kela, Owai oe, e kuu kaikamahine? A hai aku la keia i na mea a pau a ua kanaka la i hana mai ai nana.
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.'
I aku la, O keia mau ana huabale eono kana i haawi mai ai ia'u; no ka mea, olelo mai la ia, Mai hoi nele aku oe i kou makuahonowaiwahine.
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.'
Olelo mai la ia, E noho malie oe, e kuu kaikamahine, a ike pono oe i ka hope o keia; no ka mea, aole loa e noho hoomaha kela kanaka, a hoopau pono oia ia mea, i keia la.
