Rit 3
1 Alò Naomi, bèlmè li a te di l: “Fi mwen, èske m pa dwe chache sekirite pou ou, pou sa kapab ale byen pou ou?
And she lodged with her mother-in-law: and Noemin her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
2 Alò èske Boaz avèk sèvant li kote ou te ye yo, èske se pa pwòch fanmi pa nou? Gade byen, l ap vannen lòj nan glasi a aswè a.
And now [is] not Booz our kinsman, with whose damsels thou wast? behold, he winnows barley this night in the floor.
3 Pou sa, lave kò ou, onksyone ou e mete pi bèl rad ou yo pou desann nan glasi vannen an. Men pa fè nonm nan konnen kilès ou ye jiskaske li fin manje ak bwè.
But do thou wash, and anoint thyself, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go up to the threshing-floor: do not discover thyself to the man until he has done eating and drinking.
4 Li va rive ke lè li fin kouche, ke ou va remake byen kote li kouche a, epi ou va ale dekouvri pye li e kouche la. Konsa li va di ou kisa pou w fè.”
And it shall come to pass when he lies down, that thou shalt mark the place where he lies down, and shalt come and lift up the covering of his feet, and shalt lie down; and he shall tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 Epi li te di li: “Tout sa ou di m fè, mwen va fè l.”
And Ruth said to her, All that thou shalt say, I will do.
6 Konsa, li te desann kote glasi vannen an pou te fè selon tout sa ke bèlmè li te kòmande li yo.
And she went down to the threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law enjoined her.
7 Lè Boaz te fin manje ak bwè, kè l te kontan. Konsa li te ale kouche nan pwent pil lòj la, e Ruth te vin kote li an sekrè. Konsa, li te dekouvri pye li pou te kouche la.
And Booz ate and drank, and his heart was glad, and he came to lie down by the side of the heap of corn; and she came secretly, and lifted up the covering of his feet.
8 Li te vin rive nan mitan nwit lan ke nonm nan te sibitman sanse yon bagay, epi lè l panche devan an, men yon fanm te kouche la nan pye li.
And it came to pass at midnight that the man was amazed, and troubled, and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 Li te di: “Kilès ou ye?” Li te reponn: “Mwen se Ruth, sèvant ou a. Konsa, tann kouvèti ou sou sèvant ou a, paske ou se pwòch fanmi pa m.”
And he said, Who art thou? and she said, I am thine handmaid Ruth; spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid, for thou art a near relation.
10 Epi li te di: “Ke ou kapab beni pa SENYÈ a, fi mwen. Ou te montre dènye favè ou a pi bèl pase premye a! Konsa, ke ou pa t kouri dèyè jennonm yo, kit rich, kit pòv.
And Booz said, Blessed [be] thou of the Lord God, [my] daughter, for thou hast made thy latter kindness greater than the former, in that thou followest not after young men, whether [any be] poor or rich.
11 Alò fi mwen, pa pè; mwen va fè pou ou nenpòt sa ke ou mande, paske tout pèp nan vil la konnen ke ou se yon fanm plen kalite.
And now fear not, my daughter, whatever thou shalt say I will do to thee; for all the tribe of my people knows that thou art a virtuous woman.
12 Alò, se vrè ke mwen se yon pwòch fanmi. Men gen yon fanmi pi pre pase m.
And now I am truly akin to thee; nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Rete pou nwit lan e lè maten rive, si li va peye ranson ou, trè byen; kite li peye ranson ou. Men si li pa vle peye ranson ou, alò, kon SENYÈ a viv la, mwen va peye ranson ou! Kouche la jis rive nan maten.”
Lodge [here] for the night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will do the part of a kinsman to thee, well—let him do it: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, I will do the kinsman's part to thee, [as] the Lord lives; lie down till the morning.
14 Konsa, li te kouche nan pye li jis rive nan maten e te leve avan youn ta kab rekonèt lòt. Konsa, Boaz te di: “Pa kite li vin konnen ke fanm nan te vini nan glasi vannen an.”
And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before a man could know his neighbour; and Booz said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
15 Ankò li te di: “Ban mwen manto ki sou ou a e kenbe li.” Konsa, li te kenbe li e li te mezire sis mezi nan lòj la e te poze l sou li. Epi li te lantre nan vil la.
And he said to her, Bring the apron that is upon thee: and she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and put them upon her, and she went into the city.
16 Lè li te rive vè bèlmè li, li te di: “Kijan sa te sòti, fi mwen?” Epi li te di li tout sa ke nonm nan te fè pou li.
And Ruth went in to her mother-in-law, and she said to her, [My] daughter! and [Ruth] told her all that the man had done to her.
17 Li te di: “Men sis mezi lòj li te ban mwen yo, paske li te di: ‘Pa kite men a bèlmè ou vid.’”
And she said to her, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother-in-law.
18 Epi li te di: “Tann, fi mwen, jiskaske ou konnen kijan afè sa vin fini, paske nonm nan p ap pran repo jiskaske li fin regle li jodi a menm.”
And she said, Sit still, [my] daughter, until thou shalt know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.
