< 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?
Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall 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.
Now isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on the threshing floor.
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.
Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor; but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
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.”
It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall note the place where he is lying. Then you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”
5 Kinuna ni Ruth kenni Naomi. “Aramidekto amin nga imbagam.”
She said to her, “All that you say, I will do.”
6 Napan ngarud isuna idiay pagirikan, ket sinurotna dagiti imbilin ti katuganganna kenkuana.
She went down to the threshing floor, and did everything that her mother-in-law told 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.
When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 Napasamak iti tengnga iti rabii, nakigtot ti lalaki. Nagballikid isuna ket nakitana sadiay ti maysa a babai nga agid-idda iti sakaananna!
At midnight, the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay 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.”
He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth your servant. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your servant; for you are a near kinsman.”
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.
He said, “You are blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you didn’t follow young men, whether 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.
Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
12 Ita, pudno nga asidegak a kabagianyo; nu pay kasta, adda ti as-asideg a kabagianyo ngem siak.
Now it is true that I am a near kinsman. However, there is a kinsman 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.”
Stay this night, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good. Let him do the kinsman’s duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do the duty of a kinsman for you, as the LORD 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.”
She lay at his feet until the morning, then she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing 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.
He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; then he went 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.
When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?” She told her all that the man had done for her.
17 Kinunana, “Dagitoy innem a takal iti sebada ti intedna kaniak, gapu ta kinunana, 'Saanka nga agawid iti katugangam nga awanan.'”
She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go 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.”
Then she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know what will happen; for the man will not rest until he has settled this today.”
