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 Naomi hath an acquaintance of her husband's, a man mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name [is] Boaz.
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 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.'
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 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.
4 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Boazu agĩkinya oimĩte Bethilehemu, na akĩgeithia acio maagethaga, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova aroikara na inyuĩ!” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova arokũrathima!”
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.'
5 Boazu akĩũria mũrũgamĩrĩri wa acio maagethaga atĩrĩ, “Mũirĩtu ũũrĩa nĩ wa ũ?”
And Boaz saith to his young man who is set over the reapers, 'Whose [is] this young person?'
6 Nake mũrũgamĩrĩri akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Mũmoabi ũrĩa wokire na Naomi kuuma bũrũri wa Moabi.
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,
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 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.
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.
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:
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.”
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.'
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?”
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?'
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.
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.
12 Jehova arokũrĩha nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo wĩkĩte. Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, o ũrĩa wee ũũkĩte kwĩhitha mathagu-inĩ make, arokũrĩha na irĩhi inene.”
Jehovah doth recompense thy work, and thy reward is complete from Jehovah, God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to take refuge.'
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.”
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.'
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 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.
15 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ookĩrire akahaare-rĩ, Boazu agĩatha andũ ake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na ahaara kũu itĩĩa-inĩ, mũtikamũtetie.
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;
16 O na nĩ kaba mũrutage cairi ĩmwe kuuma itĩĩa-inĩ, mũmĩrekie thĩ nĩ ũndũ wake, mũmũtigĩre nĩguo oke akĩmĩhaaraga, no mũtikamũtetie.”
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.'
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ruthu akĩhaara kũu mũgũnda ũcio nginya o hwaĩ-inĩ. Agĩcooka akĩhũũra cairi ĩrĩa aahaarĩte, ĩgĩkinyia mũigana wa eba ĩmwe.
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;
18 Akĩmĩkuua, agĩcooka itũũra-inĩ, nake nyaciarawe akĩona cairi ĩrĩa yothe aahaarĩte. Ruthu agĩcooka akĩmũrutĩra kĩrĩa aatigĩtie aahũũna, akĩmũnengera.
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.
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 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.'
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.”
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.'
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 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.'
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.”
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.'
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.
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.
