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.
There was a man in Bethlehem who belonged to the clan of [Naomi’s dead husband], Elimelech. He was rich and well-known/influential. His name was Boaz.
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.
[One day] Ruth said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the grain left behind by the workers.” Naomi replied, “Go ahead, 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.
So Ruth went to the fields and began to pick up some of the left-over grain. And it happened that she was working in a field that belonged to Boaz, [the man] from the clan of [her dead father-in-law], 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.
Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem. He greeted the men who were harvesting the grain, saying, “I want Yahweh to bless you!” They replied, “We want Yahweh to bless you, [too]!”
5 Markaasaa Bocas wuxuu ku yidhi midiidinkiisii madaxda u ahaa kuwii beerta gooynayay, Gabadhanu waa ina ayo?
Then Boaz saw Ruth, and asked the (foreman/man in charge of the other workmen), “Whose [daughter] is that young woman?”
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.
The foreman replied, “She is the woman from Moab who returned from there with [her mother-in-law] Naomi.
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.
She said to me, ‘Please let me walk behind the men who are harvesting the grain and pick up some of the grain they leave behind.’ [I gave her permission, and] she went into the field, and she has been working from this morning until now. The only time she did not work was when she rested for a short time in the shelter.”
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.
So Boaz went over to Ruth and said to her, “Young lady, listen to me. Don’t go and pick up grain in another field. Do not go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.
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.
Watch where the men are harvesting, and follow along behind the [servant] girls. I will tell the men [who are working] not to touch/molest you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get some water to drink from the jars that the men have filled.”
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?
When he said that, she knelt down in front of him [in respect], with her face touching the ground. She exclaimed, “Why are you acting so kindly toward me, by paying attention to me? [I am not even a Jew; I am] a foreigner!”
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.
Boaz replied, “People have told me all about what you have done for your mother-in-law. They told me that you left your parents and your homeland, and you came here to live among people whom you did not know before.
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.
I hope/desire that Yahweh will repay you for what you have done. You have put yourself in the care of Yahweh, [like a little bird puts itself] under [its mother’s] wings [MET]. I desire that he will reward you very greatly.”
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.
She replied, “Sir, I hope you will continue to act kindly toward me. You have comforted/encouraged me, even though I am lower in status than any of your servant girls.”
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.
At mealtime, Boaz said to her, “Come over here. Take some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar [and eat it].” Then when she sat down with the men who had been harvesting, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all the grain she wanted, and had some left over.
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.
As she stood up to start gathering grain [again], Boaz ordered his workers, “Even if she gathers some grain near the bundles of grain that have been cut, do not scold her.
16 Oo weliba xidhmooyinkana qaar uga soo siiba oo u daaya, ha xaabxaabtee, oo hana dagaalina.
Instead, pull out some stalks of grain from the bundles, and leave them on the ground for her to pick up, and do not rebuke her.”
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.
So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. Then she (threshed/beat with a stick) the barley that she had gathered, [to separate the kernels from the stalks], and the barley filled a large basket.
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.
She carried it back to town, and showed to her mother-in-law how much she had gathered. Ruth also showed to her the grain [that was left over after] she had eaten enough from [what Boaz had given her at lunchtime].
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.
Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you gather grain today? In whose [field] did you work? [God will] surely bless the man who was kind to you.” Then Ruth told her about the man in whose field she had been working. She said, “The name of the man [who owns the field] where I worked today is Boaz.”
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.
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will bless him! He has not stopped acting kindly toward [us, who are still] living, and to [our husbands] who have died.” Then she added, “That man is a close relative [of Elimelech]; he is one of those who has a responsibility to help those who are his relatives.”
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.
Then Ruth said, “He also said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they have finished harvesting all my grain.’”
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.
Naomi replied, “My daughter, it will be good for you to go [to his field] with his [servant] girls, because if you go to someone else’s field, someone might harm/molest you.”
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 Ruth stayed close to Boaz’s [servant] girls [while she was working]. She gathered stalks of grain until the barley harvest and the wheat harvest were finished. During that time she lived with Naomi.
