Rut 2
1 To, fa, Na’omi tana da dangi a gefen mijinta da iyalin Elimelek, mutum mai martaba, mai suna Bowaz.
Now her husband Elimelech had a kinsman, a powerful man, and very rich, whose name was Booz.
2 Sai Rut mutuniyar Mowab ta ce wa Na’omi, “Bari in tafi gonaki in yi kala raguwar hatsi a bayan duk wanda na sami tagomashi daga gare shi.” Na’omi ta ce mata, “Ki je,’yata.”
And Ruth the Moabitess said to her mother in law: If thou wilt, I will go into the field, and glean the ears of corn that escape the hands of the reapers, wheresoever I shall find grace with a householder that will be favourable to me. And she answered her: Go, my daughter.
3 Saboda haka ta tafi ta fara kala a gonaki a bayan masu girbi. Sai ya zamana, ta sami kanta tana aiki a gonar da take ta Bowaz, wanda yake daga dangin Elimelek.
She went therefore and gleaned the ears of corn after the reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
4 Sai ga Bowaz ya iso daga Betlehem ya gai da masu girbi, “Ubangiji yă kasance tare da ku!” Sai suka amsa, “Ubangiji yă albarkace ka!”
And behold, he came out of Bethlehem, and said to the reapers: The Lord be with you. And they answered him: The Lord bless thee.
5 Sai Bowaz ya tambayi shugaban masu girbinsa, “Wace yarinya ce wannan?”
And Booz said to the young man that was set over the reapers: Whose maid is this?
6 Shugaban ya amsa, “Ita ce mutuniyar Mowab da ta zo daga Mowab tare da Na’omi.
And he answered him: This is the Moabitess who came with Noemi, from the land of Moab,
7 Ta ce, ‘Ina roƙo a bar ni in bi bayan masu girbin in yi kala.’ Haka ta shiga cikin gonar ta kuwa yi aiki tun da safe har zuwa yanzu, sai ɗan hutun da ta yi kaɗan.”
And she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain, following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment.
8 Saboda haka Bowaz ya ce wa Rut, “’Yata, ki saurare ni. Kada ki tafi ki yi kala a wani gona, kada kuma ki tafi daga nan. Ki tsaya nan tare da’yan matana bayi.
And Booz said to Ruth: Hear me, daughter, do not go to glean in any other field, and do not depart from this place: but keep with my maids,
9 Ki lura da gonar da mutanena suke girbi, ki bi su tare da’yan matana. Na riga na faɗa wa mazan kada su taɓa ke. Kuma duk sa’ad da kika ji ƙishirwa, ki tafi ki ɗebo ruwa daga tulunan da mazan suka cika.”
And follow where they reap. For I have charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants drink.
10 Jin haka, sai ta rusuna da fuskata har ƙasa ta ce, “Me ya sa na sami irin wannan tagomashi a idanunka da har ka lura da ni, ni da nake baƙuwa?”
She fell on her face and worshipping upon the ground, said to him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes, and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me a woman of another country?
11 Bowaz ya amsa, “An faɗa mini duka game da abin kika yi domin surukarki tun mutuwar mijinki, yadda kika bar mahaifinki da mahaifiyarki da kuma ƙasarki kika zo ki yi zama da mutanen da ba ki taɓa sani ba.
And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
12 Bari Ubangiji yă sāka maka saboda abin da ka yi. Bari Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila yă sāka maka a yalwace, a ƙarƙashin fikafikan da ka sami mafaka.”
The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayest thou receive a full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and under whose wings thou art fled.
13 Ta ce, “Bari in ci gaba da samun tagomashi a idanunka ranka yă daɗe. Ka ta’azantar da ni ka kuma yi wa baranyarka magana mai alheri ko da yake ban kai matsayi ɗaya daga cikin bayinka’yan mata ba.”
And she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast comforted me and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not like to one of thy maids.
14 A lokacin cin abinci Bowaz ya ce mata, “Zo nan. Ki ɗebo burodi ki tsoma cikin ruwan inabi.” Da ta zauna tare da masu girbin, sai ya ba ta gasasshe hatsi. Ta ci duk abin da take so har ta bar ragowa.
And Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings.
15 Da ta tashi don tă yi kala, sai Bowaz ya yi umarni wa samarinsa cewa, “Ko ta tara daga cikin dammuna, kada ku wulaƙanta ta.
And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not:
16 Ku kuma riƙa zarar mata waɗansu daga dammunan don ta ɗauka, kada ku kwaɓe ta.”
And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them.
17 Saboda haka Rut ta yi kala a gonar har yamma. Sa’an nan ta sussuka hatsin sha’ir da ta kalata ta sami kamar efa.
She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels:
18 Ta ɗauka ta koma gari sai surukarta ta ga yawan abin da ta kalato. Rut kuma ta fitar da ragowar abin da ta ci bayan ta ƙoshi ta ba ta.
Which she took up and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled.
19 Surukarta ta tambaye ta, “Ina kika yi kala a yau? Ina kika yi aiki? Albarka ta tabbata ga mutumin nan ta ya lura da ke!” Sai Rut ta faɗa wa surukarta game da wurin wanda ta yi ta aiki. Ta ce, “Sunan mutumin da na yi aiki da shi a yau Bowaz ne.”
And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man’s name, that he was called Booz.
20 Sai Na’omi ta ce wa surukarta, “Ubangiji yă yi masa albarka! Bai daina nuna alheri ga masu rai da matattu ba.” Ta ƙara da cewa, “Wannan mutum danginmu ne na kusa; shi ɗaya daga cikin danginmu mai fansa.”
And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the dead. And again she said: The man is our kinsman.
21 Sa’an nan Rut mutuniyar Mowab ta ce, “Ya ma ce mini, ‘Ki riƙa bin ma’aikatana sai sun ƙare yin girbin dukan hatsina.’”
And Ruth said, He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped.
22 Na’omi ta ce wa Rut surukarta, “Zai fi miki kyau,’yata ki riƙa tafiya da’yan matansa, domin a gonar wani dabam mai yiwuwa a yi miki lahani.”
And her mother in law said to her: It is better for thee, my daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man’s field some one may resist thee.
23 Saboda haka Rut ta tsaya kusa da bayi mata na Bowaz don tă yi kala sai da girbin sha’ir da na alkama suka ƙare. Ta kuwa zauna tare da surukarta.
So she kept close to the maids of Booz: and continued to glean with them, till all the barley and the wheat were laid up in the barns.
