< Rut 2 >
1 Hagi ana knafina Naomina nevenagapinti nera mani'neankino agi'a Boasi'e. Agra Elimeleki naga nofipinti afufeno ne' mani'nege'za, rama'a vahe'mo'za ke'za antahi'za hu'naze.
There was a man in Bethlehem who belonged to the clan of [Naomi’s dead husband], Elimelech. He was rich and well-known/influential. His name was Boaz.
2 Mago zupa Ruti'a Moaputi a'mo, Naomi asmino, Natrege'na hozafi vu'na atresaza bali raga knarerema hunantesage'na tragama hanaza naga zamage nevu'na zogi'neno. Higeno Naomi'a mofa'nimoka, tagri tavutvakinka amne vugahane huno hunte'ne. (Diut 24: 19)
[One day] Ruth said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the grain left behind by the workers.” Naomi replied, “Go ahead, my daughter.”
3 Higeno Ruti'a vuno bali raga traga nehaza vahe zamage nevuno evuramiama'a zogi atru huno vu'ne. E'i ana eri'zama eri'neana Elimeleki nagapinti ne' Boasi hozafi eri'zana eri'neankino agra Boasi hoze huno ontahi'ne.
So Ruth went to the fields and began to pick up some of the left-over grain. And it happened that she was working in a field that belonged to Boaz, [the man] from the clan of [her dead father-in-law], Elimelech!
4 Anama nehia knafi Boasi'a Betlehem kumateti eno, hoza traga nehaza vahe'agu kezatino Ra Anumzamo'a tamagrane manigahie, hige'za zamagra nona'a, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugantesie, hu'za hu'naze.
Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem. He greeted the men who were harvesting the grain, saying, “I want Yahweh to bless you!” They replied, “We want Yahweh to bless you, [too]!”
5 Boasi'a, hoza traga nehaza vahe'mokizmi kva ne' antahigeno, Amu zahufa ara aza naga nofipinti a' emani'ne?
Then Boaz saw Ruth, and asked the (foreman/man in charge of the other workmen), “Whose [daughter] is that young woman?”
6 Hagi bali traga nehaza vahe'te kva ne'mo anage hu'ne, Agra Moabuti zahufa are, Moabu kumateti Naomi'ene magoka ena'e.
The foreman replied, “She is the woman from Moab who returned from there with [her mother-in-law] Naomi.
7 Ruti'a eme nantahigeno, Knare bali tragahu vahe'mokizmi zamage nevu'na, bali raga ko'nama ananekisafinti evu ramisiama'a zogi atru hutere hugaho? Huno hige'na, knarere hunte'noe. E'neregati nantera agafa huno hamponatino tusi eri'za manigsa osu enerino, tona nompina osi'a kna manigsa hu'ne.
She said to me, ‘Please let me walk behind the men who are harvesting the grain and pick up some of the grain they leave behind.’ [I gave her permission, and] she went into the field, and she has been working from this morning until now. The only time she did not work was when she rested for a short time in the shelter.”
8 Higeno Boasi'a anage Rutinku hu'ne, Mofanimoka antahi ankero, mago hozafina atrenka vunka bali raga ome zogi atru osutfa huo. Kagra ama'na hozafinti'ra, atrenka ru hozafina ovugahane. Eri'za a'ne nagani'ane tragotenka eri'zana erigahane.
So Boaz went over to Ruth and said to her, “Young lady, listen to me. Don’t go and pick up grain in another field. Do not go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.
9 Ke ankerenka vene'nemo'za e'ina hozafi eri'zana eri'zanki nehunka, eri'za a'ne naga zamage huo. Vene'nemo'za kvako osiho hu'na nagra zamasmigahue. Kagri'ma tinku kavesisnigenka, vunka vene'nemo'za ome afi'za eme ante'naza kavofinti afinka no.
Watch where the men are harvesting, and follow along behind the [servant] girls. I will tell the men [who are working] not to touch/molest you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get some water to drink from the jars that the men have filled.”
10 Ruti'a agiafi rena reno avugosa mopafi hunteno, agrikura anage hu'ne, Nahigenka nagrira knare'zana hunantenka, nagrikura kagesa antahi nenamine, nagrama ru mopareti a'ma mani'noana?
When he said that, she knelt down in front of him [in respect], with her face touching the ground. She exclaimed, “Why are you acting so kindly toward me, by paying attention to me? [I am not even a Jew; I am] a foreigner!”
11 Higeno, Boasi'a nona'a Rutinku anage hu'ne, Maka'zama negave'ma fri'nereti'ma negnoferoma huntenka e'nana'zane, negafane, anta'kane, mopaka'anema atretenka kora antahinka, kenka osu'nana vahe'enena emani'nana kagenke ka'a ko nagrira nasmige'na antahi'noe.
Boaz replied, “People have told me all about what you have done for your mother-in-law. They told me that you left your parents and your homeland, and you came here to live among people whom you did not know before.
12 Anama hu'nana nona'a, Ramo mizana kamisie. Knare kvukva zantera Israeli Ra Anumzamo nona huno ante avitegantesie, kagrama kva hunante'snie, hunkama hu'nana Anumzamo asomu hugantesie.
I hope/desire that Yahweh will repay you for what you have done. You have put yourself in the care of Yahweh, [like a little bird puts itself] under [its mother’s] wings [MET]. I desire that he will reward you very greatly.”
13 Anante Ruti'a anage hu'ne, Kagra knare'za nagrira hunenantane ramoka, na'ankure nagra mago kagri eri'za ara omani'noanagi, kagra nazeri so'e nehunka, knare keaga hunami'nane.
She replied, “Sir, I hope you will continue to act kindly toward me. You have comforted/encouraged me, even though I am lower in status than any of your servant girls.”
14 Henka ne'za nenaza knare, Boasi'a Rutinku anage hu'ne, Amare enka breti eme nenenka, hagi breti ka'a vinega timpi refru hunka no! Higeno bali tragahu vahe'mokizmi zamasoparega umani'negeno tevefi kre hagege hu'naza bali raga refko humigeno Ruti'a neteno amu higeno mago'a eriri'ne.
At mealtime, Boaz said to her, “Come over here. Take some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar [and eat it].” Then when she sat down with the men who had been harvesting, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all the grain she wanted, and had some left over.
15 Anante Ruti'a otino bali raga eri atru hunaku nevigeno, Boasi'a eri'za vahe'a zamasmino, Atrenkeno ama a'mo'a bali raga ko'na'ma anakinte'naza amu'nompi vano nehuno zoneginigeta ahe onatiho.
As she stood up to start gathering grain [again], Boaz ordered his workers, “Even if she gathers some grain near the bundles of grain that have been cut, do not scold her.
16 Anahu kna hutma agri tfana, ko'na anakintepintira raga'a rmina avazuhu atre'nenkeno agra zogirino, hagi i'o hutma huonteho.
Instead, pull out some stalks of grain from the bundles, and leave them on the ground for her to pick up, and do not rebuke her.”
17 Ana higeno Ruti'a hozafinti bali raga zogi atru nehigeno vuno kinaga se'ne. Anante agrama zogi atru huno hareno eriri'nea bali rgamofo kna'amo'a 10ni'o, 13ni'a kilo naza fore hu'ne.
So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. Then she (threshed/beat with a stick) the barley that she had gathered, [to separate the kernels from the stalks], and the barley filled a large basket.
18 Hagi Ruti'a zogirino, erino rankumate vigeno, nenofero'a nama'a zogirino e'neo ke'ne. Agra mago'a kre hagegehu balima feru nenegeno amu'ma higeno eriri'nea bali raga ne'zana Naomina hefimi'ne.
She carried it back to town, and showed to her mother-in-law how much she had gathered. Ruth also showed to her the grain [that was left over after] she had eaten enough from [what Boaz had given her at lunchtime].
19 Naomi'a, nenoferona amanage huno antahige'ne, Inante menina bali raga eritru hu'nane? Iza hozafi eri'zana eri'nane? Aza'o kagriku'ma agesa antahino kza hu'nesimofona asomu huntegahie. Higeno Ruti'a nenoferona aza'ene eri'zana eri'neo, nesmino anage hu'ne, Nagrama menima eri'zama erinte'noa ne'mofo agi'a, Boasi'e huno asmi'ne.
Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you gather grain today? In whose [field] did you work? [God will] surely bless the man who was kind to you.” Then Ruth told her about the man in whose field she had been working. She said, “The name of the man [who owns the field] where I worked today is Boaz.”
20 Naomi'a nenoferonku anage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a agrira asomu huntegahie. Na'ankure Ramo fri'naza nagakura age okanino, mani'nona nagara so'e hunerante. Anante Naomi'a, Rutina asmi'ne, Ama'na nera tagri tvate kora mani'neankino, agra tagri kegava hurantegahie.
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will bless him! He has not stopped acting kindly toward [us, who are still] living, and to [our husbands] who have died.” Then she added, “That man is a close relative [of Elimelech]; he is one of those who has a responsibility to help those who are his relatives.”
21 Ruti, Moapu a'mo ke nona'a anage hu'ne, Mago'ane nagriku anage hu'ne, Kagra eri'za vaheni'a mokizmi zamate manitere nehnanke'za nagri hozafinti ne'zana tragahu vagaregahaze huno nasmi'ne.
Then Ruth said, “He also said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they have finished harvesting all my grain.’”
22 Naomi'a, anante nenofero Rutina anage huno asmi'ne, Mofa'nimoka agri eri'za mofa'nene tragotenka eri'zante vnanana knare hugantegahie. Na'ankure ru vahe hozafi'ma eri'za omerisanana, hazenkezamo kvufare egahie.
Naomi replied, “My daughter, it will be good for you to go [to his field] with his [servant] girls, because if you go to someone else’s field, someone might harm/molest you.”
23 Ana higeno Ruti'a, Boasi eri'za mofane zagane tragoteno bali raga zogino eritru nehigeno, bali hozama tragahu eri'zamo'a vagaregeno, witi hozama tragahu eri'zamo'enena anante vagare'ne. Ana eri'zama vagaregeno'a Ruti'a nenofero'ene mani'ne.
So Ruth stayed close to Boaz’s [servant] girls [while she was working]. She gathered stalks of grain until the barley harvest and the wheat harvest were finished. During that time she lived with Naomi.
