Ruthu 2
1 Na rĩrĩ, Naomi nĩarĩ na mũndũ wa mbarĩ yao mwena wa mũthuuriwe, kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Elimeleku, mũndũ warĩ igweta, wetagwo Boazu.
And Na'omi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty, valiant man, of the family of Elimelech, whose name was Bo'az.
2 Nake Ruthu ũcio Mũmoabi akĩĩra Naomi atĩrĩ, “Reke thiĩ mĩgũnda-inĩ ngahaare cairi ĩrĩa ĩtigĩtio; ndĩ thuutha wa mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ingĩĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ make.” Nake Naomi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, mwarĩ wakwa.”
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Na'omi, Let me go, I pray thee, into the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose eyes I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiumagara agĩthiĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũhaara cairi kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ arĩ thuutha wa arĩa maagethaga. Na gũgĩkinya atĩrĩ, Ruthu ekorire akĩruta wĩra mũgũnda wa Boazu, ũcio warĩ wa mũhĩrĩga wa Elimeleku.
And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and the accident happened to her, that it was a part of the field belonging unto Bo'az, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Boazu agĩkinya oimĩte Bethilehemu, na akĩgeithia acio maagethaga, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova aroikara na inyuĩ!” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova arokũrathima!”
And, behold, Bo'az came from Beth-lechem, and he said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they said unto him, May the Lord bless thee.
5 Boazu akĩũria mũrũgamĩrĩri wa acio maagethaga atĩrĩ, “Mũirĩtu ũũrĩa nĩ wa ũ?”
Then said Bo'az unto his young man that was appointed over the reapers, Whose maiden is this?
6 Nake mũrũgamĩrĩri akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Mũmoabi ũrĩa wokire na Naomi kuuma bũrũri wa Moabi.
And the young man that was appointed over the reapers answered and said, It is a Moabitish maiden that is returned with Na'omi out of the fields of Moab;
7 Nake oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndagũthaitha ũnjĩtĩkĩrie haare cairi, na nyũnganie ĩrĩa ĩtigĩtio itĩĩa-inĩ ndĩ thuutha wa agethi.’ Nake aathiĩ mũgũnda, na arutĩte wĩra ategũtigithĩria kuuma o rũciinĩ nginya rĩu, tiga o ihinda inini ekũhurũkĩte haarĩa kĩĩruru-inĩ.”
And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather among the sheaves after the reapers: so she came, and hath remained ever from the morning even until now; it is but a little while that she hath sat down in the house.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Boazu akĩĩra Ruthu atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ wakwa, ta thikĩrĩria, ndũgathiĩ kũhaara cairi mũgũnda ũngĩ, na ndũkae kuuma gũkũ. Ikara gũkũ mũrĩ na ndungata ciakwa cia airĩtu.
Then said Bo'az unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go away from this; but keep close company with my own maidens.
9 Ũrorage mũgũnda ũrĩa arũme aya megũkorwo makĩgetha, na ũtwaranage na airĩtu acio. Nĩndakaania arũme aya matigakũhutie. Na rĩrĩa rĩothe ũngĩnyoota, ũthiĩ ũnyue maaĩ kuuma ndigithũ-inĩ iria arũme aya matahĩrĩire.”
Let thy eyes be on the field which they may reap, and go thou after them; behold, I have charged the young men that they shall not touch thee: and when thou art thirsty, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men may draw.
10 Rĩrĩa Ruthu aiguire ũguo, akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ maku na wenda kũnjĩka maũndũ mega, ndĩ o mũndũ wa kũngĩ?”
Thereupon she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thy eyes, that thou shouldst take cognizance of me, seeing I am but a stranger?
11 Boazu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩĩrĩtwo maũndũ marĩa mothe wĩkĩte nyaciaraguo kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũthuuriguo aakuire, na ũrĩa watiganire na thoguo na nyũkwa, o na bũrũri wanyu, ũgĩũka kũrĩ andũ ũtaamenyanĩte nao mbere ĩyo.
But Bo'az answered and said unto her, It hath fully been told me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law after the death of thy husband; and how thou hast forsaken thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy birth, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not yesterday or the day before.
12 Jehova arokũrĩha nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo wĩkĩte. Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, o ũrĩa wee ũũkĩte kwĩhitha mathagu-inĩ make, arokũrĩha na irĩhi inene.”
May the Lord recompense thy work, and may thy reward be complete from the Lord the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to seek shelter.
13 Nake Ruthu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, ndĩrookĩrĩrĩria gwĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ maku. Nĩũũhooreretie, na ũkaarĩria ndungata yaku ndeto njega cia tha, o na gũtuĩka niĩ ndirĩ ta ũmwe wa ndungata ciaku cia airĩtu.”
Then said she, Let me find grace in thy eyes, my lord; for thou hast comforted me, and because thou hast spoken [kindly] unto the heart of thy handmaid, though I be not like one of thy handmaids.
14 Hĩndĩ ya kũrĩa irio yakinya, Boazu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka haha. Oya mũgate ũũtobokie thiki-inĩ ya ndibei.” Rĩrĩa Ruthu aikarire thĩ na agethi, Boazu akĩmũhe cairi hĩhie. Nake akĩrĩa akĩhũũna, o nginya agĩtigia.
And Bo'az said unto her, At mealtime come near hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she seated herself beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she ate, and was satisfied, and had some left.
15 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ookĩrire akahaare-rĩ, Boazu agĩatha andũ ake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na ahaara kũu itĩĩa-inĩ, mũtikamũtetie.
Then did she arise to glean: and Bo'az commanded his young men, saying, Even between the sheaves let her glean, and do not cause her to feel any shame;
16 O na nĩ kaba mũrutage cairi ĩmwe kuuma itĩĩa-inĩ, mũmĩrekie thĩ nĩ ũndũ wake, mũmũtigĩre nĩguo oke akĩmĩhaaraga, no mũtikamũtetie.”
And ye shall also draw out some for her from the bundles on purpose, and leave it, that she may glean it, and ye shall not rebuke her.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ruthu akĩhaara kũu mũgũnda ũcio nginya o hwaĩ-inĩ. Agĩcooka akĩhũũra cairi ĩrĩa aahaarĩte, ĩgĩkinyia mũigana wa eba ĩmwe.
So she gleaned in the field until the evening; and when she beat out what she had gleaned, it was about an ephah of barley.
18 Akĩmĩkuua, agĩcooka itũũra-inĩ, nake nyaciarawe akĩona cairi ĩrĩa yothe aahaarĩte. Ruthu agĩcooka akĩmũrutĩra kĩrĩa aatigĩtie aahũũna, akĩmũnengera.
And she took it up, and she went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought forth and gave to her what she had left over after she was satisfied.
19 Nyaciarawe akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ uuma kũhaara kũ? Uuma kũruta wĩra kũ? Kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũcio ũkũmenyire, agwĩka maũndũ mega!” Nake Ruthu akĩhe nyaciarawe ũhoro ũkoniĩ mwene mũgũnda ũcio aatindĩte akĩruta wĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwene mũgũnda ũcio ngũrutaga wĩra gwake ũmũthĩ-rĩ, etagwo Boazu.”
And her mother-in-law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned today? and where hast thou wrought? may he that took cognizance of thee be blessed. And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought today is Bo'az.
20 Naomi akĩĩra mũtumia ũcio wa mũriũ atĩrĩ, “Jehova aromũrathima! We ndatigĩte gwĩka maũndũ ma ũtugi kũrĩ arĩa me muoyo, o na arĩa makuĩte.” Ningĩ Naomi akĩĩra Ruthu atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio nĩ wa mbarĩ iitũ; o na nĩ ũmwe wa arĩa mangĩtũmenyerera.”
Then said Na'omi unto her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he unto the Lord, who hath not withheld his kindness from the living and from the dead. And Na'omi said unto her, The man is nearly related unto us, he is one of our next kinsmen.
21 Nake Ruthu ũcio Mũmoabi akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na anjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Ikara na aruti akwa a wĩra o nginya marĩkie kũgetha cairi yakwa yothe.’”
And Ruth the Moabitess said, He hath also said unto me, Thou shalt keep close company with my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
22 Naomi akĩĩra Ruthu ũcio mũtumia wa mũriũ atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio wa gũtwarana na airĩtu ake nĩũgũtuĩka mwega harĩwe, wee mwarĩ wakwa, tondũ mũgũnda-inĩ wa mũndũ ũngĩ wahota kũgerwo ngero.”
Then said Na'omi unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that men may not meet with thee in any other field.
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ruthu agĩikara hakuhĩ na ndungata cia airĩtu cia Boazu akĩhaaraga nginya magetha ma cairi na ma ngano magĩthira. Nake agĩtũũra na nyaciarawe.
So she kept close company with the maidens of Bo'az in gleaning until the end of the barley-harvest and of the wheat-harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
