Ruut 3
1 Gaaf tokko Naaʼomiin haati dhirsa ishee akkana isheedhaan jette; “Yaa intala ko, ani akka ati itti boqottuuf mana mijaaʼaa siif barbaaduu hin qabuu?
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 Boʼeez namichi ati tajaajiltoota isaa dubarran sana wajjin turte sun fira keenya mitii? Inni edana oobdiitti garbuu qulleeffata.
Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Look, he winnows barley tonight at the threshing floor.
3 Kanaafuu dhidhiqadhuutii shittoo dibadhu; uffata kee isa bareedaa illee uffadhu. Ergasiis gara oobdichaa dhaqi; inni garuu hamma nyaatee dhugee raawwatutti akka ati achi jirtu hin beekin.
Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, and put on your clothes, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
4 Yeroo inni rafutti iddoo inni rafe hubadhu. Ergasii dhaqiitii wayyaa miilla isaa irraa saaqii ciisi. Innis waan ati gochuu qabdu sitti hima.”
It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall do."
5 Ruutis, “Ani waan ati jettu hunda nan godha” jettee deebifte.
She said to her, "All that you say I will do."
6 Kanaafuu Ruut gara oobdii sanaatti gad buutee waan haati dhirsa ishee godhi jetteen hundumaa goote.
She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her.
7 Boʼeezis erga nyaatee dhugee gammadee booddee achi fagaatee tuulaa midhaanii bira rafuu dhaqe. Ruutis suuta jettee dhaqxee miilla isaa irraa wayyaa saaqxee rafte.
When Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came quietly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 Halkan walakkaatti wanni tokko namicha rifachiise; innis yommuu of irra garagalee ilaaletti dubartii miilla isaa jala ciiftu tokko arge.
It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned over; and look, a woman lay at his feet.
9 Innis, “Ati eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Isheenis, “Ana Ruut tajaajiltuu kee ti. Ati sababii na dhaaluuf fira dhiʼoo taateef handaara wayyaa keetii narra buusi” jetteen.
He said, "Who are you?" She answered, "I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your handmaid; for you are a redeeming kinsman."
10 Innis deebisee akkana jedheen; “Yaa intala too, Waaqayyo si haa eebbisu; arjummaan kun arjummaa ati kanaan dura goote sana caala; ati dargaggeessa yookaan sooressa yookaan hiyyeessa faana hin deemneetii.
He said, "Blessed are you by Jehovah, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, whether poor or rich.
11 Ammas yaa intala koo hin sodaatin. Ani waan ati gaafattu hunda siif nan godha. Sabni magaalaa koo keessa jiraatu hundi akka ati dubartii amala gaarii qabdu taate ni beeka.
Now, my daughter, do not be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.
12 Akka ani fira dhiʼoo taʼe beekamaa dha; taʼus namni dhaaluudhaaf ana caalaa fira dhiʼoo taʼe jira.
Now it is true that I am a redeeming kinsman; however there is a redeemer closer than I am.
13 Asuma buli; bori ganama namichi yoo si dhaaluu barbaade gaarii dha; inni si haa dhaalu. Yoo inni si dhaaluu hin barbaanne garuu dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ani sin dhaala. Hamma lafti bariitutti asuma ciisi.”
Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a redeemer, well; let him do the redeemer's part. But if he will not do the part of a redeemer for you, then I will do the part of a redeemer for you, as Jehovah lives. Lie down until the morning."
14 Kanaafuu isheen hamma lafti bariitutti miilla isaa jala ciifte; garuu utuu namni tokko iyyuu hin beekin dursitee kaate; Boʼeez, “Dubartiin gara oobdii kanaa dhufuun ishee beekamuu hin qabu” jedheeraatii.
She lay at his feet until the morning. 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 Akkasumas, “Wayyaa irraan uffatte ofi irraa fuudhii diriirsii qabi” jedheen. Isheenis ni diriirsite; inni garbuu safartuu jaʼa safaree ishee baachise. Ergasiis gara magaalaatti deebite.
He said, "Bring the cloak that is on you, and hold it." She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he went into the city.
16 Yommuu Ruut gara haadha dhirsa isheetti deebitetti Naaʼomiin, “Yaa intala ko, wanni sun akkam taʼe?” jettee ishee gaafatte. Isheenis waan Boʼeez isheef godhe hunda itti himte;
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 to her.
17 itti dabaltees, “‘Gara haadha dhirsa keetti harka duwwaa hin deebiʼin’ jedhee garbuu safartuu jaʼaa kana naa kenne” jetteen.
She said, "He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said to me, 'Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"
18 Naaʼomiin immoo, “Yaa intala ko, hamma waan dhufu argitutti obsi. Namichi hamma dubbiin kun harʼa fala argatutti hin boqotu” isheedhaan jette.
Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day."
