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.
Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
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.”
Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor." She said to her, "Go, my 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.
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 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.”
Look, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you." They answered him, "The LORD bless you."
5 Mgbe Boaz hụrụ Rut, ọ jụrụ onyeisi ndị ọrụ ubi ya sị, “Onye ka nwanyị a bụ?”
Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"
6 Onye nlekọta ọrụ ubi ahụ zaghachiri, “Ọ bụ onye Moab ahụ so Naomi lọta.
The servant who was set over the reapers answered, "It is the Moabite woman who came back with Naomi out of the country 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.”
She said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little in the house."
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.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field, and do not go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
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 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 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?”
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?"
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.
Boaz answered her, "It has fully been shown to me, all that you have done to 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 birth, and have come to a people that you didn't know 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.”
May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."
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.”
Then she said, "Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens."
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.
At meal time Boaz said to her, "Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar." She sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it.
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.
When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not humiliate her.
16 Unu sitekwa nʼukwu ọka mịpụtara ya ụfọdụ tụsara ya nʼala ka ọ tụtụrụ. Unu abarala ya mba.”
Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her."
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 until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 O buuru ya baa nʼime obodo, bunye ya nne di ya, nyekwa ya nri o rifọrọ mgbe o rijuchara afọ.
She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.
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.”
Her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you." She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz."
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.”
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of the LORD, who has not left off 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 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 the Moabitess said, "He even said to me, 'You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'"
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.”
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 Ya mere, Rut sogidere ụmụ agbọghọ Boaz na-atụtụ ọka, tutu ruo ọgwụgwụ ịghọ ọka balị na wiiti. Ya na nne di ya bigidekwara.
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.
