< Ruth 2 >
1 Basi Elimeleki mme wa Naomi, alikuwa na jamaa aitwaye Boazi, aliye kuwa tajiri, na mtu maarufu.
καὶ τῇ Νωεμιν ἀνὴρ γνώριμος τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς ὁ δὲ ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἰσχύι ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Αβιμελεχ καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Βοος
2 Ruth, Mmoabu, alimwambia Naomi, “Ngoja niende nikakusanye mabaki ya chakula katika shamba. Nitamfuata yeyote ambaye nitapata kibali machoni pake.” Hivyo naomi akamwambia, “Nenda, mwanangu.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ρουθ ἡ Μωαβῖτις πρὸς Νωεμιν πορευθῶ δὴ εἰς ἀγρὸν καὶ συνάξω ἐν τοῖς στάχυσιν κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐὰν εὕρω χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῇ πορεύου θύγατερ
3 Ruth alienda kuvuna kwenye shamba akiwafuata kwa nyuma wavunaji. Na kumbe ile sehemu ya shamba ilikuwa ni mali ya Boazi, aliyekuwa na mahusiano na Elimeleki.
καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ κατόπισθεν τῶν θεριζόντων καὶ περιέπεσεν περιπτώματι τῇ μερίδι τοῦ ἀγροῦ Βοος τοῦ ἐκ συγγενείας Αβιμελεχ
4 Tazama, Boazi alikuja kutoka bethelehemu na kuwaambia wavunaji, “Yahweh awe nanyi.” Wakamjibu, “Yahweh akubariki.”
καὶ ἰδοὺ Βοος ἦλθεν ἐκ Βαιθλεεμ καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς θερίζουσιν κύριος μεθ’ ὑμῶν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ εὐλογήσαι σε κύριος
5 Ndipo Boazi akamwambia mtumishi wake aliyekuwa akiwasimamia wavunaji, “Vipi bwana huyu msichana ni wa nani?”
καὶ εἶπεν Βοος τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐφεστῶτι ἐπὶ τοὺς θερίζοντας τίνος ἡ νεᾶνις αὕτη
6 Mtumishi msimamizi wa wavunaji alijibu na kusema, “Ni msichana Mmoabu aliyerudi na Naomi kutoka nchi ya Moabu.
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ παιδάριον τὸ ἐφεστὸς ἐπὶ τοὺς θερίζοντας καὶ εἶπεν ἡ παῖς ἡ Μωαβῖτίς ἐστιν ἡ ἀποστραφεῖσα μετὰ Νωεμιν ἐξ ἀγροῦ Μωαβ
7 Aliniambia, 'Tafadhali niruhusu kuvuna na kukusanya mabaki ya wavunaji.' Hivyo alikuja na ameendelea kuvuna toka asubuhi mpaka sasa, isipokuwa amepumzika kidogo katika nyumba.”
καὶ εἶπεν συλλέξω δὴ καὶ συνάξω ἐν τοῖς δράγμασιν ὄπισθεν τῶν θεριζόντων καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἔστη ἀπὸ πρωίθεν καὶ ἕως ἑσπέρας οὐ κατέπαυσεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ μικρόν
8 Kisha Boazi akamwambia Ruth, “Unanisikiliza, mwanangu? Usiende kuvuna kwenye shamba lingine; usiondoke shambani kwangu. Badala yake, baki hapa na wasichana wangu wa kazi.
καὶ εἶπεν Βοος πρὸς Ρουθ οὐκ ἤκουσας θύγατερ μὴ πορευθῇς ἐν ἀγρῷ συλλέξαι ἑτέρῳ καὶ σὺ οὐ πορεύσῃ ἐντεῦθεν ὧδε κολλήθητι μετὰ τῶν κορασίων μου
9 Yaelekeze tu macho yako kwenye shamba ambamo wanaume wanavuna na ufuatie nyuma ya wanawake wengine. Je, sikuwaelekeza wanaume wasikuguse? Na upatapo kiu, unaweza kwenda kunywa maji kwenye mtungi ambao wanaume wamejaza.”
οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς τὸν ἀγρόν οὗ ἐὰν θερίζωσιν καὶ πορεύσῃ κατόπισθεν αὐτῶν ἰδοὺ ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς παιδαρίοις τοῦ μὴ ἅψασθαί σου καὶ ὅ τι διψήσεις καὶ πορευθήσῃ εἰς τὰ σκεύη καὶ πίεσαι ὅθεν ἂν ὑδρεύωνται τὰ παιδάρια
10 Ndipo akapiga magoti mbele ya Boazi, na kugusisha kichwa chake chini. Akamwambia, “Kwa nini nimepata kibali machoni pako, hata unijali mimi mgeni?”
καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν τί ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναί με καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ξένη
11 Boazi akajibu na kumwabia, “Nimekwisha ambiwa, yote uliyo yafanya tangu mme wako afariki. Umewaacha baba yako, mama, na nchi uliyozaliwa kumfuata mama mkwe wako na kuja kwa watu usiowajua.
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βοος καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἀπαγγελίᾳ ἀπηγγέλη μοι ὅσα πεποίηκας μετὰ τῆς πενθερᾶς σου μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ πῶς κατέλιπες τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου καὶ τὴν γῆν γενέσεώς σου καὶ ἐπορεύθης πρὸς λαὸν ὃν οὐκ ᾔδεις ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης
12 Yahweh akulipe kwa matendo yako. Yahweh akulipe kwa wingi, Mungu wa Israeli, ambaye chini ya mbawa zake umepata kimbilio.”
ἀποτείσαι κύριος τὴν ἐργασίαν σου καὶ γένοιτο ὁ μισθός σου πλήρης παρὰ κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ πρὸς ὃν ἦλθες πεποιθέναι ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ
13 Ruth akasema, “Nipate kibali machoni pako, bwana wangu, kwa kuwa umenifariji, na umeongea wema kwangu, ingawa mimi sio mmoja wa watumishi wako wa kike.”
ἡ δὲ εἶπεν εὕροιμι χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κύριε ὅτι παρεκάλεσάς με καὶ ὅτι ἐλάλησας ἐπὶ καρδίαν τῆς δούλης σου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι ὡς μία τῶν παιδισκῶν σου
14 Wakati wa chakula Boazi alimwambia Ruth, “Njoo hapa, ule baadhi ya mikate, na uchovye kipande katika divai.” Alikaa kando ya wavunaji, na Boazi akampatia kiasi cha nafaka zilizo kaangwa. Ruth alikula mpaka alipotosheka na kusaza.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Βοος ἤδη ὥρᾳ τοῦ φαγεῖν πρόσελθε ὧδε καὶ φάγεσαι τῶν ἄρτων καὶ βάψεις τὸν ψωμόν σου ἐν τῷ ὄξει καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ρουθ ἐκ πλαγίων τῶν θεριζόντων καὶ ἐβούνισεν αὐτῇ Βοος ἄλφιτον καὶ ἔφαγεν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθη καὶ κατέλιπεν
15 Alipoinuka kwenda kuvuna, Boazi aliamuru vijana wake, akisema, “Mwacheni avune hata katika masuke, na msimwambie lolote baya.
καὶ ἀνέστη τοῦ συλλέγειν καὶ ἐνετείλατο Βοος τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ λέγων καί γε ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δραγμάτων συλλεγέτω καὶ μὴ καταισχύνητε αὐτήν
16 Na pia muachie baadhi ya masuke katika vifurushi kwa ajili yake, na muaache ili ayavune. Msimkemee.”
καὶ βαστάζοντες βαστάξατε αὐτῇ καί γε παραβάλλοντες παραβαλεῖτε αὐτῇ ἐκ τῶν βεβουνισμένων καὶ ἄφετε καὶ συλλέξει καὶ οὐκ ἐπιτιμήσετε αὐτῇ
17 Kwa hiyo alivuna mpaka jioni. Kisha akatenganisha nafaka na majani ambayo amevuna, nazo nafaka zilikuwa kama efa moja ya shairi.
καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐρράβδισεν ἃ συνέλεξεν καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς οιφι κριθῶν
18 Akazibeba na kwenda katika mji. Ndipo mama mkwe wake aliona kile alichokivuna. Ruth pia alimletea mama mkwe wake nafaka zilizo kaangwa alizobakiza kwenye chakula chake.
καὶ ἦρεν καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἶδεν ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς ἃ συνέλεξεν καὶ ἐξενέγκασα Ρουθ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ ἃ κατέλιπεν ἐξ ὧν ἐνεπλήσθη
19 Mama mkwe wake akamwambia, “Umevunia wapi uliko vunia leo? Ulienda kufanyia wapi kazi? abarikiwe mtu aliye kusaidia.” Ndipo Ruth akamwambia mama mkwe wake kuhusu mtu aliye miliki shamba alilokuwa akifanya kazi. Alimwambia, “Jina la mtu ambaye alimiliki shamba nililokuwa nikifanya kazi ni Boazi.”
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς ποῦ συνέλεξας σήμερον καὶ ποῦ ἐποίησας εἴη ὁ ἐπιγνούς σε εὐλογημένος καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν Ρουθ τῇ πενθερᾷ αὐτῆς ποῦ ἐποίησεν καὶ εἶπεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἀνδρός μεθ’ οὗ ἐποίησα σήμερον Βοος
20 Naomi akamwambia Ruth, “Abarikiwe na Yahweh, ambaye hakuondoa uaminifu wake kwa walio hai na wafu.” Naomi akamwambia, “Huyo mtu ni jamaa wa karibu nasi, ni jamaa yetu mkombozi.”
καὶ εἶπεν Νωεμιν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτῆς εὐλογητός ἐστιν τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπεν τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ζώντων καὶ μετὰ τῶν τεθνηκότων καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Νωεμιν ἐγγίζει ἡμῖν ὁ ἀνὴρ ἐκ τῶν ἀγχιστευόντων ἡμᾶς ἐστιν
21 Ruth Mmoabu akamwambia, “Ni kweli, aliniambia, 'Ukae karibu na vijana wangu wa kiume mpaka watakapo maliza mavuno yangu yote.'”
καὶ εἶπεν Ρουθ πρὸς τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς καί γε ὅτι εἶπεν πρός με μετὰ τῶν παιδαρίων μου προσκολλήθητι ἕως ἂν τελέσωσιν ὅλον τὸν ἀμητόν ὃς ὑπάρχει μοι
22 Naomi akamwambia Ruth mke wa mtoto wake wa kiume, “Ni vizuri, mwanangu, kuwa uende pamoja na wasichana wake wa kazi, ili kwamba usije pata madhara yeyote katika shamba lolote.”
καὶ εἶπεν Νωεμιν πρὸς Ρουθ τὴν νύμφην αὐτῆς ἀγαθόν θύγατερ ὅτι ἐπορεύθης μετὰ τῶν κορασίων αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀπαντήσονταί σοι ἐν ἀγρῷ ἑτέρῳ
23 Kwa hiyo alikaa karibu na wafanyakazi wa kike ili avune mpaka mwisho wa mavuno ya shayiri na mavuno ya ngano. Na alikuwa akiishi pamoja na mama mkwe wake.
καὶ προσεκολλήθη Ρουθ τοῖς κορασίοις Βοος συλλέγειν ἕως οὗ συνετέλεσεν τὸν θερισμὸν τῶν κριθῶν καὶ τῶν πυρῶν καὶ ἐκάθισεν μετὰ τῆς πενθερᾶς αὐτῆς
