< Ruud 2 >

1 Oo Nimco waxaa ninkeedii qaraabo u ahaan jiray nin xoog badan oo xoolo leh oo reer Eliimeleg ah, oo magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Bocas.
Now her husband Elimelech had a kinsman, a powerful man, and very rich, whose name was Booz.
2 Markaasaa Ruud tii reer Moo'aab waxay Nimco ku tidhi, Bal i daa aan beerta tagee, oo kii iga raalli noqda, intaan raaco, aan hadhuudh ka soo xaabxaabee. Oo iyana waxay ku tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, tag.
And Ruth the Moabitess said to her mother in law: If thou wilt, I will go into the field, and glean the ears of corn that escape the hands of the reapers, wheresoever I shall find grace with a householder that will be favourable to me. And she answered her: Go, my daughter.
3 Markaasay tagtay, oo markay timid, kuwii beerta gooynayay ayay dabadood beertii xaabxaabtay. Oo nasiibkeeduna waxaa weeye inay timaado beertii uu lahaa Bocas oo ahaa reer Eliimeleg.
She went therefore and gleaned the ears of corn after the reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
4 Oo bal eeg, Bocas baa wuxuu ka yimid Beytlaxam, oo wuxuu ku yidhi kuwii beerta gooynayay, Rabbigu ha idinla jiro. Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabeen, Rabbigu ha ku barakeeyo.
And behold, he came out of Bethlehem, and said to the reapers: The Lord be with you. And they answered him: The Lord bless thee.
5 Markaasaa Bocas wuxuu ku yidhi midiidinkiisii madaxda u ahaa kuwii beerta gooynayay, Gabadhanu waa ina ayo?
And Booz said to the young man that was set over the reapers: Whose maid is this?
6 Markaasaa midiidinkii kuwii beerta gooynayay madaxda u ahaa wuxuu Bocas ugu jawaabay, Waa gabadhii reer Moo'aab ee Nimco kala soo noqotay waddankii reer Moo'aab.
And he answered him: This is the Moabitess who came with Noemi, from the land of Moab,
7 Oo waxay igu tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye aan beerta xaabxaabo, oo aan kuwa beerta gooynaya dabadood xidmooyinka wax ka dhex urursado. Taas aawadeed way timid, oo wax bay urursanaysay subaxdii ilaa haatan, in yar oo ay guriga ku maqnayd mooyaane.
And she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain, following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment.
8 Markaasaa Bocas wuxuu Ruud ku yidhi, Sow maqli maysid, gabadhaydiiyey? Ha tegin oo ha xaabxaabin beer kale, oo halkanna ha sii dhaafin, laakiinse halkan gabdhahayga u dhow iska joog.
And Booz said to Ruth: Hear me, daughter, do not go to glean in any other field, and do not depart from this place: but keep with my maids,
9 Oo waxaad fiirisaa beerta ay gooynayaan, oo iyaga iska daba gal. Miyaanan ragga dhallinyarada ah ku amrin inaanay ku taaban? Oo markaad oontidna xagga weelasha tag oo ka soo cab biyaha ragga dhallinyarada ahu soo dhaamiyeen.
And follow where they reap. For I have charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants drink.
10 Markaasay wejiga u dhacday, oo dhulka ugu foororsatay, oo waxay isagii ku tidhi, Maxaad raalli iigu noqotay, oo aad ii garatay, anoo ah mid qalaad?
She fell on her face and worshipping upon the ground, said to him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes, and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me a woman of another country?
11 Markaasaa Bocas u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhammaan waa lay wada tusay, kulli wixii aad u samaysay soddohdaa ilaa markii ninkaagii dhintay, iyo sidii aad uga soo kacday aabbahaa iyo hooyadaa, iyo dalkii aad ku dhalatay, oo aad u timid dad aadan hadda ka hor aqoon.
And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
12 Haddaba Rabbigu shuqulkaaga ha kaaga abaalgudo, oo Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil oo aad baalashiisa hoostooda magan gashay ha ku siiyo abaalgud dhan.
The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayest thou receive a full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and under whose wings thou art fled.
13 Kolkaasay tidhi, Sayidow, haddaba raalli iga ahow; waayo, waad i qalbi qaboojisay, oo si raxmad leh ayaad iila hadashay anigoo ah addoontaada, in kastoo aanan addoommahaaga ka mid ahayn.
And she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast comforted me and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not like to one of thy maids.
14 Oo wakhtigii qadada ayaa Bocas wuxuu ku yidhi, Kaalay halkan, oo kibista wax ka cun, oo cuntadaada ku qoyso khalka. Oo waxay dhinac fadhiisatay kuwii beerta gooynayay, oo waxay siiyeen hadhuudh la saloolay, oo way cuntay, wayna dheregtay, oo wax bayna hambaysay.
And Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings.
15 Oo markay u kacday inay beerta soo xaabxaabto ayaa Bocas wuxuu ku amray raggiisii dhallinyarada ahaa, Xataa xidhmooyinka ha ka dhex xaabxaabto, oo hana canaananina.
And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not:
16 Oo weliba xidhmooyinkana qaar uga soo siiba oo u daaya, ha xaabxaabtee, oo hana dagaalina.
And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them.
17 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay beertii xaabxaabaysay ilaa fiidkii, oo way tuntay wixii ay soo xaabxaabtay, oo waxay u noqotay in ku dhow eefaah shaciir ah.
She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels:
18 Markaasay kor u qaadatay oo magaaladii gashay; oo soddohdeedna way aragtay wixii ay soo xaabxaabtay; oo waxay u soo bixisay oo siisay wixii ay hambaysay markay dheregtay.
Which she took up and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled.
19 Markaasaa soddohdeed waxay ku tidhi, Xaggee baad maanta wax ka soo xaabxaabtay? Oo xaggee baad ka shaqaysay? Ha barakaysnaado kii ku gartay. Oo iyana waxay soddohdeed u sheegtay kii ay la shaqaysay, oo waxay ku tidhi, Ninkii aan maanta la shaqeeyey magiciisa waxaa la yidhaahdaa Bocas.
And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man’s name, that he was called Booz.
20 Markaasaa Nimco waxay ku tidhi gabadhii ay soddohda u ahayd, Rabbigu ha barakeeyo kan aan roonaantiisa ka dayn kuwa nool iyo kuwa dhintayba. Oo Nimco waxay ku tidhi iyadii, Ninku waa noo dhow yahay oo waa xigaalkayo, oo waa qaraabadayada noo dhow midkood.
And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the dead. And again she said: The man is our kinsman.
21 Markaasaa Ruud tii reer Moo'aab waxay tidhi, Oo weliba wuxuu igu yidhi, Waa inaad la joogtaa raggayga dhallinyarada ah ilaa ay dhammeeyaan beertayda ay gooynayaan.
And Ruth said, He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped.
22 Markaasaa Nimco waxay ku tidhi gabadhii Ruud oo ay soddohda u ahayd, Gabadhaydiiyey, waa wanaagsan tahay inaad gabdhihiisa raacdid oo aan lagugula kulmin beer kaleto.
And her mother in law said to her: It is better for thee, my daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man’s field some one may resist thee.
23 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay la sii joogtay gabdhihii Bocas inay xaabxaabto beerta ilaa gooyntii shaciirka iyo gooyntii sarreenkuba dhammaadeen, oo waxayna la degganayd soddohdeed.
So she kept close to the maids of Booz: and continued to glean with them, till all the barley and the wheat were laid up in the barns.
