Ruth 3

1 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Noemi na kaniyang biyanan, Anak ko, hindi ba kita ihahanap ng kapahingahan, na ikabubuti mo?

And Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, My daughter, am I not to get you a resting-place where you may be in comfort?

2 At ngayo'y wala ba rito si Booz na ating kamaganak, na ang kaniyang mga alila ay siya mong kinasama? Narito, kaniyang pahahanginan ang sebada ngayong gabi sa giikan.

And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor.

3 Maligo ka nga, at magpahid ka ng langis, at magbihis ka at bumaba ka sa giikan: nguni't huwag kang pakilala sa lalake, hanggang siya'y makakain at makainom.

So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.

4 At mangyayari, paghiga niya, na iyong tatandaan ang dakong kaniyang hihigaan, at ikaw ay papasok, at iyong alisan ng takip ang kaniyang mga paa, at mahiga ka; at sasabihin niya sa iyo kung ano ang iyong gagawin.

But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do.

5 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Lahat ng iyong sinasabi sa akin ay aking gagawin.

And she said, I will do all you say.

6 At siya'y bumaba sa giikan, at ginawa niya ang ayon sa buong iniutos sa kaniya ng kaniyang biyanan.

So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.

7 At nang si Booz ay makakain at makainom, at ang kaniyang puso'y maligayahan, siya'y yumaong nahiga sa dulo ng bunton ng trigo; at siya'y naparoong marahan, at inalisan ng takip ang kaniyang mga paa, at siya'y nahiga.

Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest.

8 At nangyari, sa hating gabi, na ang lalake ay natakot at pumihit: at, narito, isang babae ay nakahiga sa kaniyang paanan.

Now in the middle of the night, the man awaking from his sleep in fear, and lifting himself up, saw a woman stretched at his feet.

9 At sinabi niya, Sino ka? At siya'y sumagot, Ako'y si Ruth, na iyong lingkod: iladlad mo nga ang iyong kumot sa iyong lingkod; sapagka't ikaw ay malapit na kamaganak.

And he said, Who are you? And she answering said, I am your servant Ruth: take your servant as wife, for you are a near relation.

10 At kaniyang sinabi, Pagpalain ka nawa ng Panginoon, anak ko: ikaw ay nagpakita ng higit na kagandahang loob sa huli kay sa ng una, sa hindi mo pagsunod sa mga bagong tao maging sa dukha o sa mayaman.

And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth.

11 At ngayon, anak ko, huwag kang matakot; gagawin ko sa iyo ang lahat na iyong sinasabi, sapagka't buong bayan ng aking bayan ay nakakaalam na ikaw ay isang babaing may bait.

And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.

12 At tunay nga na ako'y kamaganak na malapit; gayon man ay may kamaganak na lalong malapit kay sa akin.

Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.

13 Maghintay ka ngayong gabi, at mangyayari sa kinaumagahan, na kung kaniyang tutuparin sa iyo ang bahagi ng pagkakamaganak, ay mabuti; gawin niya ang bahagi ng pagkakamaganak: nguni't kundi niya gagawin ang bahagi ng pagkakamaganak sa iyo, ay gagawin ko nga ang bahagi ng pagkakamaganak sa iyo, kung paano ang Panginoon ay nabubuhay: mahiga ka nga hanggang kinaumagahan.

Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so.

14 At siya'y nahiga sa kaniyang paanan hanggang kinaumagahan: at siya'y bumangong maaga bago magkakilala ang isa't isa. Sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Huwag maalaman na ang babae ay naparoon sa giikan.

And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor.

15 At kaniyang sinabi, Dalhin mo rito ang balabal na nasa ibabaw mo at hawakan; at hinawakan niya; at siya'y tumakal ng anim na takal na sebada, at isinunong sa kaniya; at siya'y pumasok sa bayan.

And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.

16 At nang siya'y pumaroon sa kaniyang biyanan, ay sinabi niya, Ano nga, anak ko? At isinaysay niya sa kaniya ang lahat na ginawa sa kaniya ng lalake.

And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.

17 At sinabi niya, Ang anim na takal na sebadang ito ay ibinigay niya sa akin; sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Huwag kang pumaroong walang dala sa iyong biyanan.

And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.

18 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya, Maupo kang tahimik, anak ko, hanggang sa iyong maalaman kung paanong kararatnan ng bagay: sapagka't ang lalaking yaon ay hindi magpapahinga, hanggang sa kaniyang matapos ang bagay sa araw na ito.

Then she said, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through.
