Ruth 2
1 Oasr mwet se sou nu sel Naomi, el pa Boaz. El sie mwet kasrup ac yohk pac ku lal. El ma in sou lal Elimelech, mukul tumal Naomi ah.
Now Naomi had a relative on her husband’s side, a prominent man of noble character from the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
2 Sie len ah Ruth el fahk nu sel Naomi, “Lela nga in som nu in ima ah, ac telani kutu barley ma mwet orekma tia telak ah. Nga lulalfongi mu oasr mwet ac lela ngan ku in fahsr toko.” Na Naomi el fahk nu sel, “Fahsrot, acn nutik.”
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go into the fields and glean heads of grain after someone in whose sight I may find favor.” “Go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied.
3 Ouinge Ruth el som nu in ima ah, ac fahsr tukun mwet orekma, ac telani ma elos sisla tia orani ah. Falyang lah ima se ma el som nu kac ah ma lal Boaz.
So Ruth departed and went out into the field and gleaned after the harvesters. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
4 Ke pacl se inge Boaz el tuku Bethlehem me ac el paing mwet orekma ac fahk, “LEUM GOD Elan wi kowos!” Na elos topuk ac fahk nu sel, “LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kom!”
Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and said to the harvesters, “The LORD be with you.” “The LORD bless you,” they replied.
5 Na Boaz el siyuk sin mwet se ma kol mwet orekma ah, “Su mutan fusr se ingo?”
And Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, “Whose young woman is this?”
6 Na mwet kol sac fahk, “Mutan sac se ma welul Naomi foloko Moab me ah.
The foreman answered, “She is the Moabitess who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.
7 El tuh siyuk ngan lela elan fahsr tukun mwet orekma inge ac sifeni ma elos sisla uh. El nuna orekma na oe ke lututang ah me nwe tufahna oru elan mongla pa inge.”
She has said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the harvesters.’ So she came out and has continued from morning until now, except that she rested a short time in the shelter.”
8 Na Boaz el fahk nu sel Ruth, “Kolya ngan fahk nu sum, wona kom in tia som nu ke kutena ima sayen ima se inge. Wi na mutan inge orekma.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Do not go and glean in another field, and do not go away from this place, but stay here close to my servant girls.
9 Liye na acn elos kinkin we an ac welulos. Nga fahkang tari mwet luk inge in tia akkolukye kom. Ac pacl kom malu an kom fahla nim kof ke sufa ma elos nwekla ingo.”
Let your eyes be on the field they are harvesting, and follow along after these girls. Indeed, I have ordered the young men not to touch you. And when you are thirsty, go and drink from the jars the young men have filled.”
10 Na Ruth el pasrlana nwe ten ac fahk nu sel Boaz, “Mea sis kom arulana fosrngakinyu an? Efu ku kom in arulana kulang nu sin mwetsac se?”
At this, she fell on her face, bowing low to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you should take notice of me, even though I am a foreigner?”
11 Na Boaz el fahk, “Nga lohng tari ma nukewa kom oru nu sin nina kien mukul tomom oe ke na mukul tomom ah misa ah me. Nga etu pac lah kom fahsr liki papa tomom ac nina kiom ac acn sum, ac tuku muta inmasrlon mwet su kom tia etu.
Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before.
12 Lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan folokin nu sum orekma wo lom ingan. Lela tuh kom in eis mwe insewowo yohk sin LEUM GOD lun Israel, su kom tuku suk karinginyuk ye lulin paol!”
May the LORD repay your work, and may you receive a rich reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have taken refuge.”
13 Na Ruth el topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Kom arulana kulang nu sik. Insiuk misla na pwaye ke sripen kas fisrasr lom nu sik inge, nga finne pusisel liki mwet kulansap lom ingan.”
“My lord,” she said, “may I continue to find favor in your eyes, for you have comforted and spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your servant girls.”
14 Ke pacl in mongo ah, Boaz el fahk nu sel Ruth, “Fahsru eis nom sie ipin bread inge ac twanla ke mwe anut inge.” Na el muta yurin mwet orekma, ac Boaz el sang nu sel kutu mongo manman ah, ac Ruth el mongo nwe ke na el kihpi, ac srakna oasr mongo lula yorol.
At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come over here; have some bread and dip it into the vinegar sauce.” So she sat down beside the harvesters, and he offered her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left over.
15 Na ke el tuyak in som in sifil telani barley ah, Boaz el fahk nu sin mwet orekma lal ah, “Lela elan tiltil in acn nukewa, finne ke acn ma yolani barley an we tari, ac nimet kutongol.
When Ruth got up to glean, Boaz ordered his young men, “Even if she gathers among the sheaves, do not insult her.
16 Ac kowos in faesla kutu barley liki kap orekeni ingan ac filiya elan telani.”
Rather, pull out for her some stalks from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not rebuke her.”
17 Ke ma inge Ruth el til barley in ima sac nwe ke na ekela, ac ke el tokla ma inge el liye tuh na sunun paun longoul limekosr pa el orani ah.
So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. And when she beat out what she had gleaned, it was about an ephah of barley.
18 El us ma inge folokla nu in siti uh, ac sang Naomi elan liye lupan ma el telani ah. El oayapa sang luwen mongo nal ah nu sel.
She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought out what she had saved from her meal and gave it to Naomi.
19 Na Naomi el siyuk sel, “Kom eis oya ma kom telani misenge inge? Lun su ima kom som orekma we ah? Lela God Elan akinsewowoye mwet se ma kulang nu sum ingan!” Na Ruth el fahkang nu sel Naomi lah el wi orekma in ima lun mwet se pangpang Boaz.
Then her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today, and where did you work? Blessed be the man who noticed you.” So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.
20 Na Naomi el fahk, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoyal Boaz! Pacl nukewa LEUM GOD El akpwayeye wulela lal nu sin mwet moul ac oayapa nu sin mwet misa.” Na el sifilpa fahk, “Mukul sac sou na fototo nu sesr, ac el pa sie sin mwet fal in fosrngakin ac karingin kut uh.”
Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not withdrawn His kindness from the living or the dead.” Naomi continued, “The man is a close relative. He is one of our kinsman-redeemers.”
21 Na Ruth el fahk, “Boaz el fahk pac mu nga ku in wi na mwet lal ah orekma nwe ke na safla pacl in kosrani ke ima sac.”
Then Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also told me, ‘Stay with my young men until they have finished gathering all my harvest.’”
22 Na Naomi el fahk nu sel Ruth, “Aok, wona kom in wi na mutan ingan orekma in ima lal Boaz an. Sahp kom fin som nu in ima lun sie pacna mwet, ac tuh akkolukyeyuk kom.”
And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “My daughter, it is good for you to work with his young women, so that nothing will happen to you in another field.”
23 Ke ma inge Ruth el welulos na orekma nwe ke na lisr barley ac wheat in ima sac. Ac el mutana yorol Naomi.
So Ruth stayed close to the servant girls of Boaz to glean grain until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
