< Ruth 3 >

1 Kinuna ni Naomi a katuganganna kenkuana, “Anakko, saan kadi a rumbeng nga ibirukanka iti lugar a paginanaam, tapno nasayaat dagiti banbanag para kenka?
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 Ita ni Boaz, ti lalaki nga akin trabahador kadagiti babbai a kakaduam idi, saan kadi a kabagiantayo isuna? Ammom, agilaid isuna iti sebada inton rabii idiay pagirikan.
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 Ngarud, agdiguska, agpabangloka, sukatam ti badum ket mapanka idiay pagirikan. Ngem saanka nga agpadpadlaw iti lalaki agingga a malpas isuna a mangan ken uminom.
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 Ket siguradoem, inton agidda isuna, nga ammom ti lugar a pagiddaanna tapno makaapankanto kenkuana, lukaisamto ti sakana ket agiddaka sadiay. Ket ibagananto kenka ti aramidem.”
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 Kinuna ni Ruth kenni Naomi. “Aramidekto amin nga imbagam.”
And she says to her, “All that you say—I do.”
6 Napan ngarud isuna idiay pagirikan, ket sinurotna dagiti imbilin ti katuganganna kenkuana.
And she goes down [to] the threshing-floor, and does according to all that her mother-in-law commanded her
7 Idi nalpasen a nangan ken imminom ni Boaz, ket naragsak ti riknana, napan naturog isuna idiay pungto iti penpen dagiti bukel. Ket nagin-inayad nga immasideg ni Ruth, linukaisanna ti saka ni Boaz sa nagidda.
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 Napasamak iti tengnga iti rabii, nakigtot ti lalaki. Nagballikid isuna ket nakitana sadiay ti maysa a babai nga agid-idda iti sakaananna!
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 “Siasinoka”? kinunana. Simmungbat ti babai, “Siak ni Ruth, ti babai nga adipenmo. Iyaplagmo ti kagaymo iti babai nga adipenmo, gapu ta asidegka a kabagian.”
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 Kinuna ni Boaz, “Anakko, bendisionannaka koma ni Yahweh. Impakitam ti ad-adda a kinasayaatmo ita ngem idi damo, gapu ta saanka a nangsapul kadagiti siasinoman nga agtutubo a lallaki, napanglaw man wenno nabaknang.
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 Ket ita, anakko, saanka nga agbuteng! Aramidek kenka dagiti amin nga imbagam, gapu ta ammo ti entero a siudad dagiti tattaok a napategka a babai.
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 Ita, pudno nga asidegak a kabagianyo; nu pay kasta, adda ti as-asideg a kabagianyo ngem siak.
And now, surely, true, that I [am] a redeemer, but also there is a redeemer nearer than I.
13 Agtalinaedka ditoy ita a rabii, ket inton bigat, no kayatna a tungpalen ti pagrebbengan kenka a kas maysa a kabagian a lalaki, nasayaaat, aramidenna ngarud ti pagrebbengan ti maysa a kabagian a lalaki. Ngem no saanna nga aramiden ti pagrebbengan ti maysa a kabagian a lalaki kenka, ket siak ti mangaramid iti dayta, isapatak kenni Yahweh a sibibiag. Agiddaka agingga iti agsapa.”
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 Nagidda ngarud ni Ruth iti sakaanan ni Boaz agingga iti agsapa. Ngem bimmangon isuna sakbay a mabigbig iti siasinoman ti sabali a tao. Gapu ta kinuna ni Boaz, “Awan koma ti makaammo nga immay ti babai ditoy pagirikan.”
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 Kalpasanna kinuna ni Boaz, “Iyegmo ditoy ti kagaymo ket yaplagmo.” Idi inaramidna daytoy, nangtakal ni Boaz iti innem a dadakkel a takal iti sebada iti kagayna sana impabagkat daytoy kenkuana. Kalpasanna, napanen ni Boaz idiay siudad.
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 Idi dimteng ni Ruth iti katuganganna, kinuna ni Naomi kenkuana, “Kumustaka, anakko?” Ket imbaga ni Ruth kenkuana ti amin nga inaramid ti lalaki para kenkuana.
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 Kinunana, “Dagitoy innem a takal iti sebada ti intedna kaniak, gapu ta kinunana, 'Saanka nga agawid iti katugangam nga awanan.'”
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 Ket kinuna ni Naomi kenkuana, “Agtalinaedka ditoy anakko, agingga a maammoam no ania ti pagbanaganna daytoy, gapu ta saanto nga aginana dayta a lalaki agingga a marisutna daytoy a banag ita nga aldaw.”
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.”
