< Rut 3 >

1 Hagi mago zupa Naomi'a nenofero Rutinkura amanage huno asmi'ne, Mofa'nimoke, venema tragotenka noma mani'sana vahera nagra hakre'na kegantesugeno kagrira kegava huganteno kagu vazisigenka knare hunka manigahane.
A little later Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, don't you think I should find you a husband and a good home?
2 Menina Boasi eri'za mofa'ne zagane tragotenka eri'za eri'nana nera, tagri tvate knampatie. Ko! Meni keragera, bali raga hare kuma tro hunte'nere bali raga akru haregahie.
Don't ignore the fact that Boaz, whose women you worked with, is closely related to us. Now tonight he will be busy winnowing grain on the threshing floor.
3 Hagi kagra ti fretenka, mna nevia msave kvufarera nefrenka, knare kukenaka'a kvate eri hutenka, bali rgama hare kumate uraminka vuo. Hianagi, ana ne'mofo avurega osunka ufraki'negeno ne'zane, tinena nevaga reno.
Have a bath, put on some perfume, wear your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor—but don't let him recognize you. Once he's finished eating and drinking,
4 Hagi agra retro huno vaseku'ma hanigenka, vsesia kumara ke ankerenka, inante masesifi kavua ketenka, agiarega omeri vakarenka umase'negeno, mago'azama husana zana kasamigahie.
watch where he goes to lie down. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”
5 Ruti'a, ke nona huno Naomina asmi'ne, Hakare kema nasmina zana, nagra amne hugahue.
“I'll do everything you told me,” said Ruth.
6 Higeno Ruti'a, bali raga hare kumate vuno nenofero'ma maka asmino, e'ina huo huno asmi'nea kante ana hu'ne.
She went down to the threshing floor and did what her mother-in-law had told her to do.
7 Boasi'a ne'zama'a nehna huteno muse nehuno, bali rgama eri kevu vazinte'pinka mago asoparega umse'ne. Anante Ruti'a tkaureno ako heno, Boasi agarega frankera omeri zakeno umase'ne.
After Boaz had finished eating and drinking, and was feeling contented, he went and lay down beside the grain pile. Ruth quietly approached him, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 Mase'nereti kerage amu'nompi mase rukrahe huku nehuno, anante keana mago a'mo agri agiarega mase'negeno keteno antri hu'ne.
Around midnight Boaz suddenly woke up. Bending forward he was surprised to see a woman lying at his feet.
9 Boasi'a anage hu'ne, Kagra azage? Huno antahigegeno, ke nona'a anage hu'ne, Nagra Ruti'ne, kagri eri'za aki, a' navrento, na'ankure tagri naga nofi'mokizmi zamesi'zana, kagra Elimelekina mago korankinka, kagrake taza hugahane.
“Who are you?” he asked. “I'm Ruth, your servant,” she replied. “Please spread the corner of your cloak over me, for you are my family redeemer.”
10 Boasi'a anage hu'ne, Mofa'nimoka Anumzamo'a asomu hugantegahie. Kagra vagare museza hu'naverina zamo'a, pusante musezana agatere, kasefa verero, fenoma'a me'nea netero, fenoma'a omne netera, a' erigantenogura zamaririnka vono osu'nane. (Diut Kas 25:5-10)
“May the Lord bless you, my daughter,” he said. “You are showing even more loyalty and love to the family than before. You haven't gone looking for a younger man, of whatever social status.
11 Menina mofa'nimoka korera osuo, maka zanku'ma nantahigesanke'na, nagra amne hugantegahue. Na'ankure hakare ra kumapi vahe'nimo'za hago knare kavukva ene a' mani'nane hu'za kage'za antahiza hu'naze.
So don't worry, my daughter. I will do everything you ask—everyone in town knows you are a woman of good character.
12 Menina tamage, nagra kvate vaheka'a mani'noe. Hianagi, nagrira nagatereno magora tamazahu nera mani'ne.
However, even though I'm one of your family redeemers, there's one who is more closely related than I am.
13 Hagi meni kenagera ama anante masenegeno, masa hinkena nanterampi a' erigantegahue haniana knare hugahianki, atregeno agra ana hino. Hianagi anama osugahue'ma haniana, nagra tamage hu'na huvempa nehue, Ra Anumzama mani'negu nagra ara erigantegahue. Amare mase'negeno ko atino.
Stay here tonight, and in the morning if he wants to redeem you, then fine, let him do it. But if he doesn't, then I promise you in the name of the living Lord, I will redeem you. Lie down here until morning.”
14 Higeno Ruti'a agafi mase'nereti, masa osu'negeno ko'atu hanimpi vahe'mo onke'are vu'ne. Boasi'a otino amanahu ke asami'ne, mago a'mo bali raga hare kumapi eno emasenereti vie, kea ontahitfa hiho.
So Ruth lay at his feet until morning. Then she got up before it was light enough to recognize anyone because Boaz had told her, “No one must know that a woman came here to the threshing floor.”
15 Nago'ane agra anage hu'ne, amega kavufare'ma ruvanare'nana kena eritarenka azeri hampona huo, higeno azerigeno, 6si'a zupa balia herfi anteno anakino afunte kofi ante'ne. Ana huteno Boasi'a ra kumapi ufre'ne.
He also told her, “Bring me the cloak you're wearing and hold it out.” So she held it out and he poured out six measures of barley into it. He helped her put it on her back and she went back to town.
16 Ruti'a nenoferontega uhanatigeno, Naomi'a antahige'ne, Mikazamo'a inankna hugante'ne, mofa'nimoka? Higeno Ruti'a, maka'zama Boasi'ma hunte'nea zana asmi'ne.
Ruth went to her mother-in-law, who asked her, “How did it go for you, my daughter?” So Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her.
17 Ruti'a anage hu'ne, Ana bali rgamofona, 27ni'a kilo naza kna'amo'a hu'nea, herfinteno nenamino anage hu'ne, Neganoferontega vusunka, kza avapara ovugahane hu'ne.
“And he also gave me these six measures of barley,” she added. “He told me, ‘You mustn't go home to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
18 Hagi anante Naomi'a anage hu'ne, Akohenka mofa'nimoka avega ante'nenka ko, naza fore hugahifi. Na'ankure ana ne'mo'a mani fru osu'neno ana kna'zana mensi eri ante fru hugahie.
Naomi said to Ruth, “Wait patiently, my daughter, until you find out how it all works out. Boaz won't rest until he has it settled today.”
