< 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.
One day, Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, should I not seek to secure a home for you where you will be happy and prosperous?
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.
Is not Boaz, with whose girls you have been, a relative of ours?
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.
Tonight he is going to winnow barley on the threshing-floor. So bathe and anoint yourself and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing-floor. But do not make yourself known to the man until he has 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.
Then when he lies down, mark the place where he lies. Go in, uncover his feet, lie down, and 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 will do as you say.” Ruth said to her.
6 Higeno Ruti'a, bali raga hare kumate vuno nenofero'ma maka asmino, e'ina huo huno asmi'nea kante ana hu'ne.
So she went down to the threshing-floor and did just as her mother-in-law told her.
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.
When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in a happy mood, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then Ruth came quietly and 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.
At midnight the man was startled and turned over, and there was 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 said. “I am Ruth your servant,” she answered, “Spread your cloak over your servant, for you are a near relative.”
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)
He said, “May you be blest by the Lord, my daughter. You have shown me greater favor now than at first, for you have not followed young men, whether poor or rich.
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.
My daughter, have no fear. I will do for you all that you ask, for the whole town knows that you are a virtuous woman.
12 Menina tamage, nagra kvate vaheka'a mani'noe. Hianagi, nagrira nagatereno magora tamazahu nera mani'ne.
Now it is true that I am a near relative, but there is another man nearer than I.
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 then in the morning, if he will perform for you the duty of a kinsman, well, let him do it. But if he will not perform for you the duty of a kinsman, then as surely as the Lord lives, I will do it for you. Lie down 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 she lay at his feet until morning, but rose before anyone could recognize her, for Boaz said, “No one must know that a woman came 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 said, “Bring the cloak which you have on and hold it.” So she held it while he poured into it six measures of barley and laid it on her shoulders. Then he went into the city.
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.
When Ruth came to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked, “Is it you, my daughter?” Then Ruth told Naomi all that the man 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.
“He gave me these six measures of barley,” she said, “for he said I should not go to my 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.
“Wait quietly, my daughter.” Naomi said, “Until you know how the affair will turn out, for the man will not rest unless he settles it all today.”
