Ruth 3
1 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Noemi na kaniyang biyanan, Anak ko, hindi ba kita ihahanap ng kapahingahan, na ikabubuti mo?
But afterwards, when she returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi said to her: “My daughter, I will seek rest for you, and I will provide so that it may be well with you.
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.
This Boaz, whose young women you joined in the field, is our near relative, and this night he will winnow the threshing floor of barley.
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.
Therefore, wash and anoint yourself, and put on your decorative garments, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not let the man see you, while he finishes eating and drinking.
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 when he goes to sleep, observe the place where he sleeps. And you will approach and lift up the covering, the part which covers near his feet, and lay yourself down, and sleep there; but he will tell you what you are obliged to do.”
5 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Lahat ng iyong sinasabi sa akin ay aking gagawin.
She answered, “I will do everything as you have instructed.”
6 At siya'y bumaba sa giikan, at ginawa niya ang ayon sa buong iniutos sa kaniya ng kaniyang biyanan.
And she went down to the threshing floor, and she did everything that her mother-in-law had commanded 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.
And when Boaz had finished eating and drinking, and he was merry, and he had gone to sleep by the pile of sheaves, she approached secretly, and, lifting the covering near his feet, she laid herself down.
8 At nangyari, sa hating gabi, na ang lalake ay natakot at pumihit: at, narito, isang babae ay nakahiga sa kaniyang paanan.
And behold, when it was the middle of the night, the man became frightened and confused, and he saw a woman lying near 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 to her, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth, your handmaid. Spread your covering over your servant, for you are a near relative.”
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, “You are blessed by the Lord, daughter, and you have excelled beyond your earlier benevolence, because you have not followed young men, whether poor or rich.
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.
Therefore, do not be afraid, but whatever you decide about me, I will accomplish for you. For all the people, who dwell within the gates of my city, know that you are a virtuous woman.
12 At tunay nga na ako'y kamaganak na malapit; gayon man ay may kamaganak na lalong malapit kay sa akin.
Neither do I deny myself to be a near relative, but there is another 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.
Be at peace for this night. And when morning arrives, if he is willing to uphold the law of kinship for you, things will turn out well; but if he is not willing, then, I will take you, without any doubt, as the Lord lives. Sleep until morning.”
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 so she slept by his feet until the night was ending. And she arose before men could inquire of one another. And Boaz said, “Be careful, lest someone know that you came here.”
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 again he said, “Spread your mantle that covers you, and hold it with both hands.” As she extended it and held it, he measured six measures of barley and placed it upon her. Carrying it, she went into the city.
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 she came to her mother-in-law, who said to her: “What have you been doing, daughter?” And she explained to her all that the man had accomplished for 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, “Behold, he gave me six measures of barley, for he said, ‘I am not willing to have you return empty to your mother-in-law.’”
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.
And Naomi said, “Wait, daughter, until we see how things will turn out. For the man will not rest until he has accomplished what he said.”
