Rutu 3
1 Na ka mea a Naomi, tona hungawai ki a ia, Kaua ianei ahau e rapu i te okiokinga mou, e taku tamahine, e puta mai ai te pai ki a koe?
Afterward Naomi her mother in lawe said vnto her, My daughter, shall not I seeke rest for thee, that thou mayest prosper?
2 Ehara ianei i te whanaunga no taua a Poaha nana nei aua kotiro, ou hoa na? Nana, ko a tenei po ia whakarererere ai i te papapa o te parei i te patunga witi.
Now also is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maides thou wast? beholde, he winoweth barly to night in the floore.
3 Na horoia koe, ka whakawahi i a koe, ka kakahu ai i ou kakahu, ka haere ki raro, ki te patunga witi; kaua ia koe e whakaaturia ki taua tangata, a mutu noa tana kai, tana inu.
Wash thy sellfe therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment vpon thee, and get thee downe to the floore: let not the man know of thee, vntill he haue left eating and drinking.
4 A ka takoto ia, na me titiro koe ki te wahi e takoto ai ia; a ka haere atu, ka hura i nga kakahu o ona waewae, ka takoto; ko reira ia whakaatu ai ki a koe i tau e mea ai.
And when he shall sleepe, marke the place where he layeth him downe, and go, and vncouer the place of his feete, and lay thee downe, and he shall tell thee what thou shalt doe.
5 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Maku e mea nga mea katoa i korerotia mai na e koe ki ahau.
And she answered her, All that thou biddest me, I will doe.
6 Na ko tona haerenga ki raro, ki te patunga witi, meatia ana e ia nga mea katoa i whakahaua e tona hungawai ki a ia.
So she went downe vnto the floore, and did according to all that her mother in lawe bade her.
7 Na ka kai a Poaha, ka inu, a hari ana tona ngakau, a ka haere, ka takoto ki te pito o te puranga: na ko te ata haerenga o tera, hurahia ana nga kakahu o ona waewae, na kua takoto.
And when Boaz had eaten, and drunken, and cheared his heart, he went to lie downe at the end of the heape of corne, and she came softly, and vncouered the place of his feet, and lay downe.
8 A, i waenganui po ka oho te mauri o taua tangata, ka tahuri ia: na, he wahine e takoto ana i ona waewae.
And at midnight the man was afraide and caught holde: and loe, a woman lay at his feete.
9 Na ka mea ia, Ko wai koe? a ka mea ake tera, Ko Rutu ahau, ko tau pononga wahine: na uhia iho te pito o tou ki tau pononga; he whanaunga tupu hoki koe.
Then he sayd, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmayd: spread therefore the wing of thy garment ouer thine handmayd: for thou art the kinsman.
10 Na ka mea ia, Kia manaakitia koe e Ihowa, e taku tamahine; nui atu hoki i to te timatanga tou aroha o te whakamutunga, i a koe kihai nei i aru i nga taitama, i te mea rawakore, i te mea whai taonga ranei.
Then sayd he, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: thou hast shewed more goodnes in the latter end, then at the beginning, in as much as thou followedst not yong men, were they poore or rich.
11 Na kaua e wehi, e taku tamahine; ka meatia e ahau ki a koe au mea katoa i ki mai ai; e mohio ana hoki te pa katoa o toku iwi he wahine koe e uaua ana ki te pai.
And now, my daughter, feare not: I will doe to thee all that thou requirest: for all the citie of my people doeth knowe, that thou art a vertuous woman.
12 Na he tika ano, he whanaunga tupu ahau noa; otiia tena ano tetahi e tata rawa ana i ahau.
And now, it is true that I am thy kinsman, howbeit there is a kinsman neerer then I.
13 Takoto marie i tenei po; a i te ata ki te whakawhanaunga ia ki a koe, he tika, mana te tikanga whanaunga; ki te kahore ia e pai mana te tikanga o te whanaunga ki a koe, na maku te tikanga whanaunga ki a koe; e ora ana a Ihowa. Ata takoto, kia ta ea ra ano te ata.
Tarie to night, and when morning is come, if he will doe the duetie of a kinsman vnto thee, well, let him doe the kinsmans duetie: but if he will not doe the kinsmans part, then wil I doe the duetie of a kinsman, as the Lord liueth: sleepe vntill the morning.
14 Na takoto tonu ia ki ona waewae a taea noatia te ata; a ka maranga, i te mea e kore te tangata e kite i tona hoa. Na ka mea tera, Kei mohiotia i haere mai he wahine ki te patunga witi.
And she lay at his feete vntill the morning: and she arose before one could know another: for he sayd, Let no man knowe, that a woman came into the floore.
15 I mea ano ia, Tena koa te koroka i runga i a koe na, puritia mai. Na puritia ana e ia. Na ka mehuatia atu etahi parei e ia, e ono nga mehua: a whakawaha atu ana ki a ia; na haere ana ia ki te pa.
Also he sayd, Bring the sheete that thou hast vpon thee, and holde it. And when she helde it, he measured sixe measures of barly, and layde them on her, and she went into the citie.
16 A, no tona taenga ki tona hungawai, ka mea tera, Kei te pehea koe, e taku tamahine? Na korerotia ana e ia ki a ia nga mea katoa i mea ai taua tangata ki a ia.
And when she came to her mother in law, she sayd, Who art thou, my daughter? And she tolde her all that the man had done to her,
17 I mea ano ia, Ko enei mehua parei e ono i homai e ia ki ahau; i mea hoki ki ahau, Kei haere kau koe ki tou hungawai.
And said, These sixe measures of barly gaue he me: for he sayd to me, Thou shalt not come emptie vnto thy mother in lawe.
18 Na ka mea tera, Ata noho, e taku tamahine, kia mohiotia ra ano e koe te tukunga iho o tenei mea: e kore hoki e mutu ta taua tangata, kia oti ra ano tenei mea i a ia aianei.
Then sayd she, My daughter, sit still, vntill thou knowe how the thing will fall: for the man wil not be in rest, vntill he hath finished the matter this same day.
