< Rut 2 >

1 To, fa, Na’omi tana da dangi a gefen mijinta da iyalin Elimelek, mutum mai martaba, mai suna Bowaz.
Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
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.”
Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean amongst the ears of grain after him in whose sight I find favour.” She said to 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, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family 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!”
Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the LORD be with you.” They answered him, “May the LORD bless you.”
5 Sai Bowaz ya tambayi shugaban masu girbinsa, “Wace yarinya ce wannan?”
Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
6 Shugaban ya amsa, “Ita ce mutuniyar Mowab da ta zo daga Mowab tare da Na’omi.
The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country 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.”
She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers amongst the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”
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.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
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.”
Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”
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?”
Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favour in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”
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.
Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.
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.”
May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
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.”
Then she said, “Let me find favour in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not as one of your servants.”
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.
At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.
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.
When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even amongst the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.
16 Ku kuma riƙa zarar mata waɗansu daga dammunan don ta ɗauka, kada ku kwaɓe ta.”
Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
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.
So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an efah of barley.
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.
She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.
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.”
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
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.”
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”
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.’”
Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
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.”
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”
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 stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
