Rut 3
1 Wata rana Na’omi surukar Rut ta ce mata, “’Yata, bai kamata in nema miki gida, inda za a tanada miki da kyau?
Then said Na'omi her mother-in-law unto her, My daughter, behold I will seek for thee a resting-place, where it may be well with thee.
2 Bowaz wanda kike aiki da bayinsa’yan mata ba danginmu ne na kusa ba? Da daren yau zai sussuka sha’ir nasa a masussuka.
And now, behold, Bo'az is our kinsman, he with whose maidens thou hast been. Lo, he is winnowing the barley to-night in the threshing-floor.
3 Ki yi wanka ki fesa turare, ki kuma sa tufafinki mafi kyau. Sa’an nan ki gangara zuwa masussuka, amma kada ki bari yă san cewa kina a can sai ya gama ci da sha.
Therefore bathe, and anoint thyself, and put thy garments upon thee, and go down to the threshing-floor; [but] make thyself not known unto the man, until he shall have finished eating and drinking.
4 Sa’ad da ya kwanta, ki lura da inda yake kwance. Sa’an nan ki tafi ki buɗe ƙafafunsa ki kwanta. Zai faɗa miki abin da za ki yi.”
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt note the place where he will lie, and thou shalt then go in, and lift up the covering that is on his feet, and lay thyself down: and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 Rut ta amsa ta ce “Zan yi abin da kika faɗa.”
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me will I do.
6 Saboda haka ta gangara zuwa masussuka ta kuma yi dukan abin da surukarta ta ce ta yi.
And she went down unto the threshing-floor, and did in accordance with all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
7 Sa’ad da Bowaz ya gama ci da sha yana kuma cikin farin ciki, sai ya tafi ya kwanta a ƙarshen tarin hatsi. Rut kuwa ta sulalle ta je ta buɗe ƙafafunsa ta kwanta.
And Bo'az ate and drank, and his heart became merry; and he then went in to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came in softly, and lifted up the covering that was on his feet, and laid herself down.
8 Da tsakar dare sai wani abu ya firgitar da mutumin, ya kuwa juya sai ya tarar da mace kwance a ƙafafunsa.
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man became terrified, and bent himself forward; and, behold, a woman was lying at his feet.
9 Sai ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Ke wace ce?” Ta amsa ta ce, “Ni ce baranyarka Rut, ka rufe ni ta mayafinka da yake kai dangi, mai fansa ne na kusa.”
And he said, Who art thou? And she said, I am Ruth thy handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
10 Sai ya amsa ya ce, “Ubangiji yă albarkace ki’yata. Wannan alheri ya fi wannan da kika nuna da farko. Ba ki gudu kin bi saurayi, mai arziki ko matalauci ba.
And he said, Blessed be thou unto the Lord, my daughter; for thou hast shown more kindness in the last instance than the first, by not going after the young men, whether they be poor or rich.
11 Yanzu kuwa’yata kada ki ji tsoro. Zan yi miki dukan abin da kika roƙa. Dukan’yan’uwana na gari sun san cewa ke mace ce mai halin kirki.
And now, my daughter, fear not: all that thou mayest say will I do for thee; for all [the men in] the gate of my people know that thou art a virtuous woman.
12 Ko da yake gaskiya ne ni dangi ne na kusa, amma akwai dangi mai fansa mafi kusa fiye da ni.
And now, it is indeed true that I am thy near kinsman; nevertheless, there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Ki kwana a nan, da safe kuwa in yana so yă fansa, to, da kyau, sai yă fansa. Amma in ba ya niyya, tabbatacce, na rantse da Ubangiji mai rai zan yi. Ki kwanta a nan sai da safe.”
Remain here this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will redeem thee, well, let him redeem; but if he be not willing to redeem thee, then will I redeem thee, as the Lord liveth: lie still until the morning.
14 Saboda haka ta kwanta a ƙafafunsa sai da safe, amma ta tashi kafin a gane wani, sai ya ce, “Kada ki bar wani yă san cewa mace ta zo masussuka.”
And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, It must not be known that this woman came into the threshing-floor.
15 Ya kuma ce, “Ki kawo gyalenki da kika yafa ki shimfiɗa shi a nan.” Sa’ad da ta yi haka, sai ya zuba mudu shida na sha’ir ya sa mata a kai. Sa’an nan ya koma gari.
Also he said, Bring hither the cloak that thou hast upon thee, and lay hold of it. And she laid hold of it, and he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid it on her, and went into the city.
16 Sa’ad da Rut ta koma wurin surukarta Na’omi ta tambaye ta “Yaya aka yi’yata?” Sai ta faɗa mata dukan abin da Bowaz ya yi mata
And she came to her mother-in-law, and she said, How is it with thee, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
17 ta kuma ƙara da cewa, “Ya ba ni waɗannan mudu shida na sha’ir, yana cewa, ‘Kada ki koma wurin surukarki hannu wofi.’”
And she said, These six measures of barley gave he unto me; for he said to me, Thou shalt not come empty to thy mother-in-law.
18 Sai Na’omi ta ce, “Ki jira,’yata, sai kin ga abin da zai faru. Gama mutumin ba zai huta ba sai an warware batun a yau.”
Then said she, Remain still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest, until he have finished the matter this day.
