Ruth 3
1 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Noemi na kaniyang biyanan, Anak ko, hindi ba kita ihahanap ng kapahingahan, na ikabubuti mo?
Then said Na'omi her mother-in-law unto her, My daughter, behold I will seek for thee a resting-place, where it may be well with thee.
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, behold, Bo'az is our kinsman, he with whose maidens thou hast been. Lo, he is winnowing the barley to-night in the threshing-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.
Therefore bathe, and anoint thyself, and put thy garments upon thee, and go down to the threshing-floor; [but] make thyself not known unto the man, until he shall have finished 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.
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt note the place where he will lie, and thou shalt then go in, and lift up the covering that is on his feet, and lay thyself down: and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Lahat ng iyong sinasabi sa akin ay aking gagawin.
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me will I do.
6 At siya'y bumaba sa giikan, at ginawa niya ang ayon sa buong iniutos sa kaniya ng kaniyang biyanan.
And she went down unto the threshing-floor, and did in accordance with all 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 Bo'az ate and drank, and his heart became merry; and he then went in to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came in softly, and lifted up the covering that was on his feet, and 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 it came to pass at midnight, that the man became terrified, and bent himself forward; and, behold, a woman was lying 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 art thou? And she said, I am Ruth thy handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
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, Blessed be thou unto the Lord, my daughter; for thou hast shown more kindness in the last instance than the first, by not going after the young men, whether they be 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.
And now, my daughter, fear not: all that thou mayest say will I do for thee; for all [the men in] the gate of my people know that thou art a virtuous woman.
12 At tunay nga na ako'y kamaganak na malapit; gayon man ay may kamaganak na lalong malapit kay sa akin.
And now, it is indeed true that I am thy near kinsman; nevertheless, there is a kinsman 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.
Remain here this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will redeem thee, well, let him redeem; but if he be not willing to redeem thee, then will I redeem thee, as the Lord liveth: lie still until the 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 she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, It must not be known that this woman came into the threshing-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.
Also he said, Bring hither the cloak that thou hast upon thee, and lay hold of it. And she laid hold of it, and he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid it on her, and 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, and she said, How is it with thee, my daughter? And she told her all that 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, These six measures of barley gave he unto me; for he said to me, Thou shalt not come empty to thy 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.
Then said she, Remain still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest, until he have finished the matter this day.
