Ruta 3
1 A LAILA, olelo mai o Naomi kona makuahonowaiwahine, E kuu kaikamahine, aole anei au e imi i wahi e hoomaha ai nou, i mea e pomaikai ai oe?
And her mother-in-law Naomi says to her, “My daughter, do I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
2 Aole anei no ko kakou hoahanau o Boaza, nona na kaikamahine au i noho pu ai? Aia hoi ke kanana nei ia i ka huabale i keia po ma ke kahua hahi.
And now, is not Boaz of our acquaintance, with whose young women you have been? Behold, he is winnowing the threshing-floor of barley tonight,
3 Nolaila ea, e holoi oe ia oe iho, a e hamo hoi, a e hookomo i kou lole, a e iho oe ilalo i ke kahua; a mai hoike aku oe ia oe iho i ua kanaka la, a pau kana ai ana, a me kana inu ana.
and you have bathed, and anointed yourself, and put your garments on you, and gone down to the threshing-floor; do not let yourself be known to the man until he completes to eat and to drink;
4 Eia hoi kekahi; i ka manawa ana e moe ai, e nana pono oe i kona wahi e moe ana, a e komo aku oe, a e wehe i kona mau kapuwai, a moe iho, a nana no e hai mai ia oe i ka mea au e hana'i.
and it comes to pass, when he lies down, that you have known the place where he lies down, and have gone in, and uncovered his feet, and lain down—and he declares to you that which you do.”
5 I aku la keia ia ia, O na mea a pau au e kauoha mai nei, e hana no au.
And she says to her, “All that you say—I do.”
6 Iho aku la oia ilalo i ke kahua, a hana iho la e like me na mea a pau a kona makuahonowaiwahine i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
And she goes down [to] the threshing-floor, and does according to all that her mother-in-law commanded her
7 A ai o Boaza, a inu, a olioli kona naau, alaila, hele aku la ia e moe ma ka welau a ka puu ai; a hele malie mai la ia, a wehe iho la i kona mau kapuwai, a moe iho la.
And Boaz eats and drinks, and his heart is glad; and he goes in to lie down at the end of the heap; and she comes in gently, and uncovers his feet, and lies down.
8 A hiki i ke aumoe, makau iho la ua kanaka la, no ka mea, i kona oni ana, aia hoi he wahine, e moe ana ma kona mau kapuwai.
And it comes to pass, at the middle of the night, that the man trembles, and turns himself, and behold, a woman is lying at his feet.
9 I mai la ia, Owai oe? I mai la kela, o Ruta wau, o kau kauwawahine, nolaila ea, e halii mai i kou kapa maluna o kau kauwawahine, no ka mea, o oe no kekahi mea i pili koko.
And he says, “Who [are] you?” And she says, “I [am] Ruth your handmaid, and you have spread your skirt over your handmaid, for you [are] a redeemer.”
10 I mai la ia, E pomaikai ana oe ia Iehova, e kuu kaikamahine e; no ka mea, ua oi aku kou lokomaikai hope, i ko ka mua, i kou hahai ole ana mahope o na kanaka ui, aole i ka mea hune, aole hoi i ka mea waiwai.
And he says, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH, my daughter; you have dealt more kindly at the latter end than at the beginning—not to go after the young men, either poor or rich.
11 Nolaila ea, mai makau oe, e kuu kaikamahine. O na mea a pau au e olelo mai la, na'u ia e hana aku ia oe; no ka mea, ua ike ko'u poe kanaka a pau, he kaikamahine pono oe.
And now, my daughter, do not fear, all that you say I do to you, for all the gate of my people knows that you [are] a virtuous woman.
12 He oiaio no, owau ka hoahanau pili ia oe. Eia ae kekahi mea i pili mua aku, he hope au.
And now, surely, true, that I [am] a redeemer, but also there is a redeemer nearer than I.
13 I keia po e kakali ai a kakahiaka, alaila, ina nana oe e mare, ua pono, e mare no ia; aka, ina aole ia e makemake e mare mai ia oe, ma ke ola ana o Iehova, na'u oe e mare. E moe oe a kakahiaka.
Lodge tonight, and it has been in the morning, if he redeems you, well: he redeems; and if he does not delight to redeem you, then I have redeemed you—I; YHWH lives! Lie down until the morning.”
14 Moe iho la oia ma kona mau kapuwai a kakahiaka. A ala mai la ia mamua o ka wa e hiki ai kekahi ke hoomaopopo i kona hoa. I ae la ia, Mai hai aku i ka hele ana mai o ka wahine i ke kahua hahi.
And she lies down at his feet until the morning, and rises before one discerns another; and he says, “Let it not be known that the woman has come into the floor.”
15 I hou aku la ia, Homai ka pale maluna ou, a e paa mai ia mea. A i kona paa ana mai, ana iho la ia i eono ana huabale, a kau aku la maluna ona; a hoi aku la ia i ke kulanakauhale.
And he says, “Give the covering which [is] on you, and keep hold on it”; and she keeps hold on it, and he measures six [measures] of barley, and lays [it] on her; and he goes into the city.
16 A hiki aku la ia i kona makuahonowaiwahine, ninau mai la kela, Owai oe, e kuu kaikamahine? A hai aku la keia i na mea a pau a ua kanaka la i hana mai ai nana.
And she comes to her mother-in-law, and she says, “Who [are] you, my daughter?” And she declares to her all that the man has done to her.
17 I aku la, O keia mau ana huabale eono kana i haawi mai ai ia'u; no ka mea, olelo mai la ia, Mai hoi nele aku oe i kou makuahonowaiwahine.
And she says, “These six [measures] of barley he has given to me, for he said, You do not go in empty to your mother-in-law.”
18 Olelo mai la ia, E noho malie oe, e kuu kaikamahine, a ike pono oe i ka hope o keia; no ka mea, aole loa e noho hoomaha kela kanaka, a hoopau pono oia ia mea, i keia la.
And she says, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter falls, for the man does not rest except he has completed the matter today.”
