Ruth 2
1 Ita, ti asawa ni Noami a ni Elimelec, ket addaan iti kabagian, ni Boaz, a maysa a nabaknang ken mabigbigbig a tao.
Now Naomi had a relative on her husband's side whose name was Boaz. He was a rich and influential man from the family of Elimelech.
2 Kinuna ni Ruth a Moabita kenni Naomi, “Ita, palubosannak a mapan agtudtod iti dawa kadagiti taltalon. Surotek ti siasinoman a pakasarakak iti pabor.” Ket kinuna ni Naomi kenkuana, “Mapanka, anakko.”
Soon after Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the fields and pick up grain that's been left behind—if I can find someone will give me permission.” “Yes, go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied.
3 Napan nagtudtod ni Ruth idiay taltalon iti likudan dagiti agan-ani. Nairana a napan isuna iti paset ti taltalon a kukua ni Boaz, a kabagian ni Elimelec.
So she went and picked up grain the reapers had left behind. She happened to be working in a field that belonged to Boaz, a relative of Elimelech.
4 Pagammoan, simmangpet ni Boaz manipud Bethlehem ket kinunana kadagiti agan-ani, “Adda koma ni Yahweh kadakayo.” Simmungbatda kenkuana, “Bendisionannaka koma ni Yahweh.”
Later on Boaz arrived from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the Lord be with you!” They replied, “The Lord bless you!”
5 Ket kinuna ni Boaz iti adipenna a mangimatmaton kadagiti agan-ani, “Siasino a tao ti nakaibilangan daytoy a balasang?”
Then Boaz asked his servant who was in charge of the harvesters, “Who is this young woman related to?”
6 Simmungbat ti adipen a mangimatmaton kadagiti agan-ani ket kinunana, “Dayta ti balasang a Moabita a kadua ni Naomi a nagsubli manipud iti ili ti Moab.
“The young woman is a Moabite who came back with Naomi from Moab,” the servant replied.
7 Kinunana kaniak, 'Pangngaasim ta palubosannak nga agtudtod ken agurnong iti dawa bayat a sumursurotak iti likudan dagiti agan-ani.' Isu nga immay isuna ditoy ket nagtultuloy isuna a nagtudtudtod manipud itattay bigat agingga tatta, malaksid ti panaginanana iti apagbiit iti balay.”
“She asked me, ‘Please may I have permission to pick up grain behind the reapers.’ So she came, and she's been working here from morning until now, except for a brief rest in the shelter.”
8 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Boaz kenni Ruth, “Dumdumngegka kadi kaniak, anakko? Saankan a mapan agtudtod iti sabali pay a taltalon; saanmo a panawan ti taltalonko. Ngem kedti, agtalinaedka ditoy ket agtrabahoka a kaduam dagiti babbalasang a trabahadorko.
Boaz went and spoke to Ruth. “Listen to me, my daughter,” he told her. “Don't leave to go and pick up grain in someone else's field. Stay close to my women.
9 Siputam laeng no sadino a taltalon ti paganian dagiti lallaki ket sumurotka iti likudan dagiti dadduma a babbai. Saan kadi a binilinko dagiti lallaki a saandaka nga an-anoen? Ken no mawawka, mabalinka a mapan kadagiti burnay ket uminomka iti danum a sinakdo dagiti lallaki.”
Pay attention to what part of the field the men are reaping and follow the women. I've told the men not to bother you. When you get thirsty, go and have a drink from the water jars the servants have filled.”
10 Ket nagrukob ni Ruth iti sangoanan ni Boaz, a maisagsagid ti ulona iti daga. Kinunana kenkuana, “Apay a nakabirukak iti pabor iti imatangmo, a rumbeng a maseknanka maipanggep kaniak, a maysa a gan-gannaet?”
She bowed down with her face to the ground. “Why are you being so kind to me or even notice me, seeing I'm a foreigner?” she asked him.
11 Simmungbat ni Boaz ket kinunana kenkuana, “Naipadamag kaniak, amin nga inaramidmo manipud idi natay ti asawam. Pinanawam ti amam, inam, ken ti nakaipasngayam a daga tapno surotem ti katugangam a babai ket immayka kadagiti tattao a saanmo nga am-ammo.
“I've heard about all you've done for your mother-in-law since your husband died,” Boaz replied. “And also how you left your father and mother, and the land of your birth, to come and live among people you didn't know.
12 Gunggonaannaka koma ni Yahweh iti inaramidmo. Maawatmo koma ti naan-anay a gunggona manipud kenni Yahweh, ti Dios iti Israel, a ti sirok ti payyakna ket nakasarakka iti pagkamangan.”
May the Lord fully reward you for all you've done—the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you've come for protection.
13 Ket kinunana, “Makasarakak koma iti pabor iti imatangmo, apok, gapu ta liniwliwanak, ken nasayaat ti pannakisaom kaniak, uray no saanak a maysa kadagiti babbai nga adipenmo.”
Thank you for being so good to me, sir,” she replied. “You have reassured me by speaking to me kindly. I'm not even one of your servants.”
14 Idi pannangan, kinuna ni Boaz kenni Ruth, “Umayka ditoy, ket manganka iti tinapay, ken isawsawmo ti napirsaymo iti arak a suka.” Nakitugaw isuna iti abay dagiti agan-ani, ket inikkan ni Boaz isuna iti inuruban. Nangan isuna agingga a napnek ket imbatina ti dadduma iti daytoy.
When it was time to eat, Boaz called her over. “Come here,” he said. “Take some bread and dip it in wine vinegar.” So she sat down with the workers and Boaz passed her some roasted grain to eat. She ate until she'd had enough with some left over.
15 Idi timmakder isuna a mapan agtudtod, binilin ni Boaz dagiti agtutubo a lalaki, a kunana, “Palubosanyo isuna nga agtudtod uray kadagiti binettek, saanyo a bagbagaan isuna iti aniaman a dakes.
After Ruth went back to work Boaz told his men, “Let her pick up grain even among the sheaves. Don't say anything to embarrass her.
16 Ken masapul a manguyoskayo kadagiti sumagmamano a nagapas para kenkuana manipud kadagiti nareppet, ket panawanyo dagitoy tapno pidutenna. Saanyo a babalawen isuna.”
In fact, pull out some stalks from the bundles you're cutting and leave them for her to pick up. Don't tell her off.”
17 Nagtudtod ngarud ni Ruth agingga iti rabii. Kalpasanna ket inirikna dagiti dawa a natudtodna, ti bukel ket agarup a maysa nga efa iti sebada.
Ruth worked in the field until the evening. When she beat out the grain that she had picked up it was a large amount.
18 Binagkatna daytoy ket napan iti siudad. Ket nakita ti katuganganna ti natudtodna. Inruar pay ni Ruth ti inuruban a natedda iti taraonna ket intedda daytoy kenkuana.
She picked it up and took it back to town to show her mother-in-law how much she had collected. Ruth also gave her what she had left over from her meal.
19 Kinuna ti katuganna kenkuana, “Sadino ti nagtudtodam ita nga aldaw? Sadino iti napanmo nagtrabahoan? Mabendisionan koma ti tao a nangtulong kenka.” Ket imbaga ni Ruth iti katuganganna ti maipanggep iti tao nga akinkukua iti taltalon a nagtrabahoanna. Kinunana, “Ti nagan iti lalaki nga akinkukua iti taltalon a nagtrabahoak ita nga aldaw ket Boaz.”
Naomi asked her, “Where did you pick up grain today? Exactly where did you work? Bless whoever cared enough about you to pay you some attention!” So she told her mother-in-law about who she had worked with. “The man I worked with today is called Boaz.”
20 Kinuna ni Naomi iti manugangna, “Bendisionan koma isuna ni Yahweh, ti nagtalinaed ti kinapudnona kadagiti sibibiag ken kadagiti natay.” Kinuna ni Naomi kenkuana, “Dayta a tao ket asideg a kabagian a mangsubbot kadata.
“The Lord bless him!” Naomi exclaimed to her daughter-in-law. “He goes on showing his kindness to the living and the dead. That man is a close relative to us—a ‘family redeemer.’”
21 Kinuna ni Ruth a Moabita, “Kinapudnona, kinunana kaniak, 'Dimo adaywan dagiti agtutubo a lallaki agingga a malpasda amin ti panaganik.”'
Ruth added, “He also told me, ‘Stay close to my workers until they have finished harvesting my entire crop.’”
22 Kinuna ni Naomi kenni Ruth a manugangna, “Nasayaat anakko, a makikuyogka kadagiti babbai a trabahadorna, tapno saanka a madangran kadagiti dadduma a taltalon.”
“That's good, my daughter,” Naomi told Ruth. “Stay with his women workers. Don't go to other fields where you might be molested.”
23 Nakikuyog ngarud isuna kadagiti babbai a trabahador ni Boaz tapno makatudtod isuna agingga iti ileleppas iti panagani ti sebada ken trigo. Ken nakipagnanaed isuna iti katuganganna.
So Ruth stayed with Boaz' women workers picking up grain until the end of the barley harvest, and then on to the end of the wheat harvest. She lived with her mother-in-law the whole time.
