< Ruta 2 >
1 HE hoahanau ko Naomi, no kana kane, he kanaka waiwai nui, no ka hanauna o Elimeleka, o Boaza kona inoa.
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
2 I ae la o Ruta ka Moaba ia Naomi, E hele au i ka mahinaai ea, a hoiliili mawaena o na opuu palaoa, mamuli o ka mea e aloha mai ia'u. I mai la ia, O hele, e kuu kaikamahine.
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
3 Hele aku la ia a hiki, a hoiliili iho la ma ka mahinaai, mamuli o ka poe okioki. A loaa kana puu ma kahi kihapai no Boaza, no ka hanauna ia o Elimeleka.
And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
4 Aia hoi, hele mai la o Boaza, mai Betelehema mai, i mai la i ka poe okioki, O Iehova pu kekahi me oukou. I aku la lakou ia ia, Na Iehova no e hoopomaikai mai ia oe.
And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless you.
5 Alaila, i mai la o Boaza i kana kauwa i hoonohoia maluna o ka poe okioki, Nawai keia kaikamahine?
Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
6 Olelo aku la ke kauwa i hoonohoia maluna o ka poe okioki, i aku la, Ke kaikamahine ia no Moaba, o ka mea i hoi pu mai me Naomi, mai ka aina o Moaba mai.
And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
7 Nonoi mai ia, Ea, e hoiliili paha au, a hoahu mahope o ka poe okioki, iwaena o na pua. Alaila, hele mai la oia, a ua hoomau, mai ke kakahiaka a i keia wa, hoomaha iki no nae ma ka hale.
And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
8 Alaila, i ae la o Boaza ia Ruta, E kuu kaikamahine, aole anei oe i lohe? Mai hele oe e hoiliili i ka mahinaai e ae, mai haalele oe i keia wahi. E hoopili oe me ko'u poe kaikamahine maanei.
Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hear you not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from behind, but abide here fast by my maidens:
9 E kau kou mau maka ma ke kihapai a lakou e okioki ai, a e hahai oe mamuli o lakou. Aole anei a'u i kauoha aku i na kanaka ui, i hoopa ole mai lakou ia oe? A makewai oe ea, e hele oe a inu i ka mea a na kanaka ui i ukuhi ai.
Let your eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go you after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch you? and when you are thirsty, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
10 Alaila, haule e iho la kona maka ilalo, a kulou oia ilalo i ka honua, i mai la ia ia, No ke aha la i loaa mai ai ia'u ka lokomaikaiia mai imua o kou mau maka, i ike mai ai oe ia'u, no ka mea, he malihini au?
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in your eyes, that you should take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
11 Olelo aku la o Boaza, i aku la, Ua hoakaka pono ia mai ia'u na mea a pau au i hana aku ai i kou makuahonowaiwahine, mahope mai o ka make ana o kau kane; a ua haalele oe i kou makuakane, a me kou makuwahine, a me kahi au i hanau ai, a ua hele mai hoi i ka poe kanaka au i ike ole ai mamua.
And Boaz answered and said unto her, It has fully been showed me, all that you have done unto your mother in law since the death of your husband: and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your nativity, and are come unto a people which you knew not in time past.
12 Na Iehova no e uku mai i kau hana, a e haawiia mai no hoi ia oe ka uku nui loa e Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela. Ua hele mai hoi oe e hilinai ma ka malu o kona mau eheu.
The LORD recompense your work, and a full reward be given you of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings you are come to trust.
13 I mai la ia, E loaa paha ia'u ka lokomaikaiia mai i na maka o ko'u haku; no ka mea, ua hoomaha mai oe ia'u, a ua olelo mai hoi i ka naau o kau kauwawahine nei, aole nae au i like me kau poe kauwawahine.
Then she said, Let me find favour in your sight, my lord; for that you have comforted me, and for that you have spoken friendly unto your handmaid, though I be not like unto one of your handmaidens.
14 I aku la o Boaza ia ia, I ka manawa e ai ai, e hele mai oe e ai i ka berena, e hou iho i kou hakina maloko o ka vinega, Noho iho la ia ma ka aoao o ka poe okioki; haawi ae la oia ia ia i ai i pulehuia, a ai iho la ia a maona, a koe no.
And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come you here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.
15 A ku mai la ia e hoiliili, alaila kauoha mai o Boaza i kona poe kanaka ui, i mai la, E hoiliili oia mawaena o na pua, mai hoohilahila ia ia.
And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
16 E unuhi hoi i kekahi, maloko mai o na pua, a e waiho aku nana, i hoiliili ai oia: mai papa aku ia ia.
And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
17 Hoiliili iho la oia ma ka mahinaai, a ahiahi, a kaka aku la i ka mea ana i hoiliili ai, hookahi paha epa huabale.
So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 A lawe iho la ia, a hele aku la i ke kulanakauhale, a ike mai la kona makuahonowaiwahine i ka mea ana i hoiliili ai; a lawe mai la ia a haawi mai ia ia i ke koena ana i malama'i mahope o kona maona ana.
And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
19 Ninau mai la kona makuahonowaiwahine ia ia, Mahea la oe i hoiliili ai i keia la, a mahea oe i hana'i? e hoopomaikaiia ka mea i ike mai ia oe. Hoike aku la oia i kona makuahonowaiwahine i ka mea ana i hana pu ai, i aku la, O Boaza ka inoa o ka mea a'u i hana pu ai i keia la.
And her mother in law said unto her, Where have you gleaned to day? and where wrought you? blessed be he that did take knowledge of you. And she showed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
20 I mai la o Naomi i kana hunonawahine, E pomaikai ana ia Iehova ka mea nana i hooki ole i kana hana lokomaikai ana i ka mea i ola, a me ka mea i make. I mai la o Naomi ia ia, He hoahanau ia e pili koke ana ia kaua, oia hoi ko kaua mea i pili koko.
And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.
21 I aku la o Ruta ka Moaba, Ua olelo mai no hoi oia ia'u, E hoopili oe mo ko'u poe kanaka, a hoopau wale lakou i ko'u hoiliili ana.
And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, You shall keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
22 I mai o Naomi ia Ruta, i kana hunonawahine, E kuu kaikamahine, he mea maikai ke hele pu oe me kona mau kaikamahine, i loaa ole oe ia lakou ma ka mahinaai e ae.
And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, that they meet you not in any other field.
23 Nolaila, pili paa loa oia me na kaikamahine o Boaza, a pau wale ka hoiliili ana i ka huabale a me ka hoiliili ana i ka huapalaoa; a noho pu no me kona makuahonowaiwahine.
So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
