Rut 2
1 Ma Naomi nwere otu nwanne di ya, onye bara ụba, bụrụkwa onye a maara nke ọma, onye si nʼagbụrụ Elimelek. Aha nwoke a bụ Boaz.
And Noemin had [a friend] an acquaintance of her husband, and the man [was] a mighty man of the kindred of Elimelech, and his name [was] Booz.
2 Rut onye Moab, gwara Naomi okwu sị ya, “Kwere ka m gaa nʼubi ebe a na-aghọ ọka, ka m lee ma m ga-achọta ihuọma nʼihu ndị na-aghọ ọka, ndị ga-ekwere ka m tụtụkọta ọka ndị ha hapụrụ.” Naomi zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma nwa m, gaa.”
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Noemin, Let me go now to the field, and I will glean among the ears behind the man with whoever I shall find favor: and she said to her, Go, daughter.
3 Ya mere, Rut pụrụ gaa na-atụtụ ọka nʼazụ ndị na-ewe ihe ubi. Ma dịka ihe si dị, Rut chọpụtara na ubi ọ na-atụtụ ọka bụ ubi Boaz, onye si nʼagbụrụ Elimelek.
And she went; and came and gleaned in the field behind the reapers; and she happened by chance to come on a portion of the land of Booz, of the kindred of Elimelech.
4 Nʼoge ahụ, Boaz nʼonwe ya si na Betlehem bịarute nʼubi ahụ, kelee ndị ahụ na-aghọ mkpụrụ nʼubi sị ha, “Onyenwe anyị nọnyere unu.” Ha niile zakwara sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị gọzie gị.”
And, behold, Booz came from Bethleem, and said to the reapers, The Lord [be] with you: and they said to him, The Lord bless you.
5 Mgbe Boaz hụrụ Rut, ọ jụrụ onyeisi ndị ọrụ ubi ya sị, “Onye ka nwanyị a bụ?”
And Booz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose [is] this damsel?
6 Onye nlekọta ọrụ ubi ahụ zaghachiri, “Ọ bụ onye Moab ahụ so Naomi lọta.
And his servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel who returned with Noemin out of the land of Moab.
7 Ọ sịrị, ‘Biko kwere ka m soro ndị ọrụ nʼazụ tụtụkọtaa ukwu ọka ha hapụrụ.’ Kemgbe ụtụtụ ọ bịara, ọ kwụsịbeghị ọrụ ya karịakwa naanị nwa mgbe nta o zuru ike nʼokpuru ndo.”
And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers: and she came and stood from morning till evening, and rested not [even] a little in the field.
8 Ya mere, Boaz gwara Rut okwu sị ya, “Nwa m nwanyị, gee m ntị. Agakwala ịtụtụ ọka nʼubi ọzọ, esitekwala nʼebe a pụọ. Soro ụmụ agbọghọ na-ejere m ozi nọdụ nʼebe a.
And Booz said to Ruth, Hast you not heard, [my] daughter? go not to glean in another field; and depart not you hence, join yourself here with my damsels.
9 Lezie anya nʼubi ebe ndị ikom na-ewe ihe ubi, ma soro ụmụ agbọghọ ndị a. Enyela m ndị ikom ndị a iwu ka ha ghara ịmetụ gị aka. Mgbe ọbụla agụụ mmiri gụrụ gị, gaa nʼite mmiri ndị ahụ ndị ikom gbanyere mmiri kuru mmiri ṅụọ.”
[Let] your eyes [be] on the field where [my men] shall reap, and you shall go after them: behold, I have charged the young men not to touch you: and when you shall thirst, then you shall go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men shall have drawn.
10 Mgbe Boaz na-agwa ya okwu, Rut hulatara isi ya ala. Emesịa o kwuru sị, “Gịnị mere m ji chọta ụdị amara dị otu a nʼebe ị nọ, na ị hụtara m, ebe ị maara na m bụ naanị onye mba ọzọ?”
And she fell upon her face, and did reverence to the ground, and said to him, How is it that I have found grace in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, whereas I am a stranger?
11 Boaz zara sị ya, “Anụla m ihe niile i meere nne di gị site nʼoge di gị nwụrụ, na otu i si hapụ nne gị na nna gị, na ala ebe amụrụ gị, bịa nʼebe a ibi nʼetiti ndị ị na-amaghị na mbụ.
And Booz answered and said to her, It has fully been told me how you have dealt with your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; and how you did leave your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and came to a people whom you knew not before.
12 Ka Onyenwe anyị kwụghachi gị ụgwọ ihe ọma ndị a i mere. Ka Onyenwe anyị onye bụ Chineke Izrel, onye ị gbabara nʼokpuru nku ya izere ndụ kwụghachi gị nkwụghachi dị ukwu nʼihi ezi ọrụ gị niile.”
The Lord recompense your work; may a full reward be given you of the Lord God of Israel, to whom you have come to trust under his wings.
13 Rut zara sị ya, “Ka m gaa nʼihu na-achọta amara nʼebe ị nọ, onyenwe m. Nʼihi na ị kasịela m obi, gwakwa m, odibo nwanyị gị, okwu dị nro. Ọ bụ ezie na m abụghị otu nʼime ndị odibo nwanyị gị.”
And she said, Let me find grace in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, and behold, I shall be as one of your servants.
14 Mgbe oge iri nri ruru, Boaz sịrị ya, “Bịa nso nʼebe a, were ụfọdụ nri rie, sunyekwa achịcha gị nʼime mmanya viniga.” Mgbe o soro ndị ahụ na-ewe ihe ubi nọdụ ala iri ihe, o nyere ya ụfọdụ ọka a hụrụ nʼọkụ. O riri, rijuo afọ ma nri e nyere ya fọdụrụ.
And Booz said to her, Now [it is] time to eat; come here, and you shall eat of the bread, and you shall dip your morsel in the vinegar: and Ruth sat by the side of the reapers: and Booz handed her meal, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.
15 Mgbe o biliri ịchịkọtakwa ọka, Boaz nyere ụmụ okorobịa ya iwu, “Hapụnụ ya ka ọ chịkọta ọka ọ bụladị nʼetiti ukwu ọka ndị guzo eguzo, unu agwala ya okwu ihere ọbụla.
And she rose up to glean; and Booz charged his young men, saying, Let her even glean among the sheaves, and reproach her not.
16 Unu sitekwa nʼukwu ọka mịpụtara ya ụfọdụ tụsara ya nʼala ka ọ tụtụrụ. Unu abarala ya mba.”
And do you by all means carry it for her, and you shall surely let fall for her some of that which is heaped up; and let her eat, and glean, and rebuke her not.
17 Ya mere, Rut tụtụrụ ọka nʼubi ahụ ruo oge anyasị. Mgbe ọ fuchasịrị ọka balị niile ọ tụtụtara, o nwetara ihe nwere ike iru otu bushel.
So she gleaned in the field till evening, and beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barely.
18 O buuru ya baa nʼime obodo, bunye ya nne di ya, nyekwa ya nri o rifọrọ mgbe o rijuchara afọ.
And she took [it] up, and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and Ruth brought forth and gave to her the food which she had left from what she had been satisfied with.
19 Nne di ya jụrụ ya, “Ebee ka ị tụtụrụ ọka taa? Ebee ka ị rụrụ ọrụ? Ka nwoke ahụ hụtara gị bụrụ onye a gọziri agọzi.” Rut kọọrọ nne di ya banyere onye ahụ ọ rụrụ ọrụ na nke ya. Ọ sịrị, “Aha nwoke mụ na ya rụrụ ọrụ bụ Boaz.”
And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today, and where have you wrought? blessed be he that took notice of you. And Ruth told her mother-in-law where she [had] wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought today [is] Booz.
20 Mgbe ahụ Naomi zara nwunye nwa ya sị, “Onye Onyenwe anyị gọziri ka ọ bụ, onye na-ahapụbeghị igosi ebere ya nye ndị dị ndụ na ndị nwụrụ anwụ. Nwoke a bụ otu nʼime ndị agbụrụ anyị, otu onye nʼime ndị onye mgbapụta anyị.”
And Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed is he of the Lord, because he has not failed in his mercy with the living and with the dead: and Noemin said to her, The man is near akin to us, he is one of our relations.
21 Mgbe ahụ Rut, onye Moab sịrị, “Ihe ọ sịkwara m bụ, ‘Nọnyere ndị ọrụ m tutu ruo mgbe ha ghọchara ọka niile dị nʼubi m.’”
And Ruth said to her mother-in-law, Yes, he said also to me, Keep close to my damsels, until the men shall have finished all my reaping.
22 Naomi sịrị Rut, nwunye nwa ya, “Nwa m nwanyị, ọ kaara gị mma ime dịka o kwuru. Soro ụmụ agbọghọ nọ nʼubi ya nʼazụ tụtụọ ọka ị na-atụtụ, nʼihi na nʼubi onye ọzọ, e nwere ike imerụ gị ahụ.”
And Noemin said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, [It is] well, daughter, that you went out with his damsels; thus they shall not meet you in another field.
23 Ya mere, Rut sogidere ụmụ agbọghọ Boaz na-atụtụ ọka, tutu ruo ọgwụgwụ ịghọ ọka balị na wiiti. Ya na nne di ya bigidekwara.
And Ruth joined herself to the damsels of Booz to glean until they had finished the barley harvest and the wheat harvest.
