Ruth 3
1 In kutu pacl tok, Naomi el fahk nu sel Ruth, “Nga enenu in konauk sie mukul ah tomom, tuh in wo ouiyom ac in oasr acn sum sifacna.
Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek a place for you to rest, so that things may go well for you?
2 Esam lah Boaz, mwet se ma kom wi mutan ingan orekma la inge, el sou nu sesr. Porongo ma nga ac fahk uh. Oyeku el ac fah aknasnasye barley lal ah.
Now Boaz, the man whose young female workers you have been with, is he not our kinsman? Look, he will be winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.
3 Fahla yihla, ac fwikomla ke ono keng, ac nokomang nuknuk se ma wo emeet lom an. Na kom som nu yen el orekma we, tusruktu nimet kom oru elan liye kom nwe ke na el mongo ac nim tari.
Therefore, wash yourself, anoint yourself, put on your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor. But do not make yourself known to the man until he finishes eating and drinking.
4 Liye akwoye acn el ac oan we an, ac el fin motulla, na kom utyak ikasak kaot lal an ac ona ke nial. El ac fah fahk nu sum ma kom in oru.”
But when he lies down, take notice of the place where he lies down so that later you can go to him, uncover his feet, and lie down there. Then he will tell you what to do.”
5 Na Ruth el fahk, “Nga ac fah oru ma nukewa kom fahk an.”
Ruth said to Naomi, “I will do everything you say.”
6 Ouinge Ruth el som nu nien aknasnasye barley, ac oru oana ma Naomi el fahk ah.
So she went down to the threshing floor, and she followed the instructions her mother-in-law had given her.
7 Ke Boaz el mongoi ac nim tari, el arulana mwesasla nunkal. El som nu ke acn ma barley ah yol oan we ah, ac ona in motulla. Na Ruth el mahsrikyak nu in acn el oan we, ikasak kaot lal ah, ac ona ke nial.
When Boaz had eaten and drunk and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the pile of grain. Then she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 In fong sac Boaz el ngutalik ac ikla, na el lut na pwaye lah mutan se oan ke nial.
It came about at midnight that the man was startled. He turned over, and right there a woman was lying at his feet!
9 Na el siyuk, “Su kom an?” Na el topuk ac fahk, “Nga Ruth. Mweyen kom pa sie sou fototo nu sesr uh, laknelik kaot lom an ac afinyuwi.”
He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth, your female servant. Spread your cloak over your female servant, for you are a near kinsman.”
10 Na Boaz el fahk, “LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kom, acn nutik. Ma se kom oru inge akkalemye lupan nunak pwaye lom nu sin sou lasr uh yohk liki na orekma wo nukewa ma kom oru nu sin nina talupom. Kom ku pacna in som suk sie mwet fusr su kasrup ku sukasrup, tuh pa kom tiana.
Boaz said, “My daughter, may you be blessed by Yahweh. You have showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you have not gone after any of the young men, whether poor or rich.
11 Ke ma inge, Ruth, nimet kom fosrnga. Nga ac srike in oru ma nukewa ma kom siyuk an, mweyen mwet nukewa in acn se inge elos etu lah kom sie mutan wo.
Now, my daughter, do not be afraid! I will do for you all that you say, because all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
12 Pwaye lah nga sou fototo nu sum, ac fal nga in karingin kom, tusruktu oasr pac mukul se sou fototo nu sum likiyu.
It is true that I am a kinsman, but there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Mutana inge ofong, ac lututang kut fah liye lah mukul sac ac lungse in karingin kom. El fin lungse, wo. Tuh el fin tia, na nga fulahk ke Inen LEUM GOD moul lah nga ac fah karingin kom. Inge ona ac motulla nwe ke lenelik.”
Stay here tonight, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the duty 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 it, by the life of Yahweh. Lie down until the morning.”
14 Na Ruth el motulla ke nial, tusruktu el tukakek meet liki kalmelik ah, mweyen Boaz el tia lungse in oasr mwet etu lah Ruth el tuku nu we.
So she lay at his feet until the morning. But she rose up before anyone could recognize another person. For Boaz had said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
15 Na Boaz el fahk nu sel, “Eisla nuknuk se ma sang afin kom ingan ac laknelik insacn.” Ke el laknelik ah Boaz el okoaung sunun paun lumngaul ke barley nu loac, ac kasrel srukak nu finpisal. Na Ruth el us folokla nu in acn el muta we ah.
Then Boaz said, “Bring your shawl and hold it out.” When she did so, he measured six large measures of barley into it and put the load on her. Then he went into the city.
16 Ke el utyak nu lohm ah, Naomi el siyuk sel, “Acn nutik, fuka som lom ah?” Na Ruth el fahkang ma nukewa ma Boaz el oru nu sel.
When Ruth came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did you do, my daughter?” Then Ruth told her all that the man had done for her.
17 Na el sifilpa fahk, “El mu nga in tia pisinpo foloko nu yurum, na pa el se barley inge nga in us tuku.”
She said, “These six measures of barley are what he gave me, for he said, 'Do not go empty to your mother-in-law.'”
18 Na Naomi el fahk nu sel, “Ruth, kom in muteng nwe ke kalem ma nukewa. Boaz el ac tia ku in mongla misenge nwe ke el aksafyela ma se inge.”
Then Naomi said, “Stay here, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out, for the man will not rest until he has finished this thing today.”
