< 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.
Then Naomi her mother in law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
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.
And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
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.
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go down to the floor: but make not thyself known to the man, until he shall have finished 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.”
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 Na Ruth el fahk, “Nga ac fah oru ma nukewa kom fahk an.”
And she said to her, All that thou sayest to me I will do.
6 Ouinge Ruth el som nu nien aknasnasye barley, ac oru oana ma Naomi el fahk ah.
And she went down to the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade 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.
And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid herself down.
8 In fong sac Boaz el ngutalik ac ikla, na el lut na pwaye lah mutan se oan ke nial.
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay 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.”
And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou art 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.
And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou didst not follow 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.
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous 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.
And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: yet 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.”
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform to thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: 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.
And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came to the 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.
Also he said, Bring the veil that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she 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.
And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to 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.”
And she said, These six measures of barley he gave me; for he said to me, Go not empty to thy 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 said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou knowest how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he hath finished the thing this day.
