< Ruut 2 >

1 Naaʼomiin balbala Eliimelek keessaa fira dhirsa ishee namicha sooressa Boʼeez jedhamu tokko qabdi turte.
Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
2 Ruut Moʼaabittiinis Naaʼomiiniin, “Ani nama fuula isaa duratti fudhatama argadhu duubaan qarmii funaannachuuf gara lafa qotiisaatti achi nan baʼa” jette. Naaʼomiinis, “Yaa intala koo dhaqi” jetteen.
Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I find favor.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 Kanaafuu isheen gara lafa qotiisaa dhaqxee warra midhaan haaman duubaan qarmii funaannachuu jalqabde. Isheen utuma qarmii funaannachaa jirtuu akka lafti qotiisaa isheen keessa jirtu sun kan Boʼeez taʼe hubatte; Boʼeez kunis sanyii Eliimelek ture.
She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 Yeruma sanatti Boʼeez Beetlihemii dhufee warra midhaan haamaniin, “Waaqayyo isin wajjin haa taʼu!” jedhee nagaa isaan gaafate. Isaanis deebisanii, “Waaqayyo si haa eebbisu!” jedhaniin.
Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
5 Boʼeezis dura buʼaa hojjettoota isaatiin, “Intalli kun kan eenyuu ti?” jedhee gaafate.
Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
6 Dura buʼaan sunis akkana jedhee deebise; “Isheen nama Moʼaab; Naaʼomiin wajjin biyya Moʼaabii dhufte.
The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
7 Isheenis, ‘Maaloo akka ani hojjettoota duubaan bissii gidduudhaan qarmii funaannadhu naa eeyyami’ jette. Isheen yeroo xinnoof gaaddisa jala boqotte malee ganamaa jalqabdee hamma ammaatti jabaattee hojjechaa turte.”
She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”
8 Kana irratti Boʼeez Ruutiin akkana jedhe; “Yaa intala koo na dhagaʼi. Gara lafa qotiisaa biraa dhaqxee qarmii hin funaanin; iddoo kanaas hin deemin. Asuma hojjettoota koo dubarran wajjin turi.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
9 Lafa qotiisaa warri dhiiraa keessaa haaman ilaaliitii dubarran duukaa buʼi. Akka isaan siʼi hin tuqne ani warra dhiiraatti himeera. Yeroo dheebottus qodaa bishaanii dhiironni guutan keessaa budduuqsii dhugi.”
Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”
10 Kana irrattis isheen addaan lafatti gombifamtee, “Ani utuu nama biyya ormaa taʼee jiruu fuula kee duratti surraa argadhee ati na arguun kee kun maaliifi?” jettee isa gaafatte.
Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”
11 Boʼeez immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Waan ati erga dhirsi kee duʼee jalqabee haadha dhirsa keetiitiif goote hundumaa, akka ati itti abbaa kee, haadha keetii fi biyya kee dhiiftee saba kanaan dura hin beekin wajjin jiraachuudhaaf dhuftes dhagaʼeera.
Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.
12 Waaqayyo waan ati goote hundaaf gatii kee siif haa deebisu. Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel kan ati qoochoo isaa jalatti baqachuudhaaf dhufte sun baayʼisee siif haa deebisu.”
May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
13 Isheenis akkana jette; “Yaa gooftaa ko, ani yoo akka hojjettoota kee dubarran keessaa akka ishee tokkootti madaalamuu baadhe illee sababii ati na jajjabeessitee gara laafinaan ana garbittii keetti dubbatteef ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadheera.”
Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not as one of your servants.”
14 Boʼeezis yeroo laaqanaatti, “As kottu. Buddeenas fudhadhuutii wayinii dhangaggaaʼaatti cuuphadhu” jedheen. Yeroo isheen hojjettoota wajjin teessettis asheetii waadame kenneef. Isheenis nyaattee quuftee xinnoon irraa hafeef.
At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.
15 Akkuma isheen qarmii funaannachuuf ol kaateenis Boʼeez akkana jedhee hojjettoota isaa ajaje; “Yoo isheen bissii gidduudhaa illee qarmii funaannatte ishee hin rifachiisinaa.
When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.
16 Qooda kanaa bissii keessaa tokko tokko luqqisaatii akka isheen funaannatuuf lafa bubuusaafii malee isheetti hin dheekkaminaa.”
Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
17 Kanaafuu Ruut hamma galgalaatti lafa qotiisaa keessaa funaannatte. Garbuu funaannatte sanas ni sukkuumatte; innis gara safartuu iifii tokkoo taʼe.
So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 Isheenis garbuu sana baadhattee magaalaatti deebite; haati dhirsa ishees wanni isheen funaannatte hammam akka taʼe argite. Akkasumas Ruut waan guyyaa nyaattee quuftee ishee irraa hafe sana gad baaftee kenniteef.
She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.
19 Haati dhirsa ishees, “Ati harʼa eessaa funaannatte? Eessa hojjechaa oolte? Namni xiyyeeffannoo kana siif kenne sun haa eebbifamu!” jette. Ergasiis Ruut waaʼee namicha lafa qotiisaa isaa keessaa funaannachaa oolte sanaa haadha dhirsa isheetti himte. Isheenis, “Maqaan namicha ani harʼa bira hojjechaa oole sanaa Boʼeez jedhama” jette.
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
20 Naaʼomiinis, “Waaqayyo inni warra jiraniifis warra duʼaniifis gara laafina gochuu hin dhiifne sun isa haa eebbisu!” jette. Itti dabaluudhaanis, “Inni fira keenya kan dhiʼoo ti; warra nu dhaaluun irra jiru keessaas isa tokkoo dha” isheedhaan jette.
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”
21 Ergasiis Ruut Moʼaabittiin, “Inni, ‘Hamma isaan midhaan koo hunda walitti qabanii fixanitti iyyuu hojjettoota koo wajjin turi’ naan jedheera” jetteen.
Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
22 Naaʼomiinis niitii ilma ishee Ruutiin, “Yaa intala ko, dubarran isaa wajjin ooluun siif gaarii dha; ati yoo gara lafa qotiisaa nama biraa deemte, miidhaan sirra gaʼuu dandaʼaatii” jette.
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”
23 Kanaafuu Ruut hamma garbuu fi qamadiin haamamee dhumutti tajaajiltoota Boʼeez dubarran wajjin turte. Haadha dhirsa ishee wajjinis jiraatte.
So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
