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, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with 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 isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on 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, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor; but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has 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.”
It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall note the place where he is lying. Then you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”
5 Na Ruth el fahk, “Nga ac fah oru ma nukewa kom fahk an.”
She said to her, “All that you say, I will do.”
6 Ouinge Ruth el som nu nien aknasnasye barley, ac oru oana ma Naomi el fahk ah.
She went down to the threshing floor, and did everything that her mother-in-law told 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 heap of grain. 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.
At midnight, the man was startled 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.”
He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth your servant. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your 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.
He said, “You are blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you didn’t 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.
Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do to you all that you say; for 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.
Now it is true that I am a near kinsman. However, 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 this night, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the part 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 the duty of a kinsman for you, as the LORD lives. 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.
She lay at his feet until the morning, then she rose up before one could discern another. For he 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.
He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it 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 she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?” She 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, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t 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 she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know what will happen; for the man will not rest until he has settled this today.”
