< Ruth 2 >

1 Naomi ní ìbátan kan láti ìdílé Elimeleki ọkọ rẹ̀, aláàánú ọlọ́rọ̀, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Boasi.
And Naomi has an acquaintance of her husband’s, a man mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name [is] Boaz.
2 Rutu ará Moabu sì wí fún Naomi pé, “Jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó lọ sí inú oko láti ṣá ọkà tí àwọn olùkórè fi sílẹ̀ ní ọ̀dọ̀ ẹnikẹ́ni tí èmi yóò bá ojúrere rẹ̀ pàdé.” Naomi sì sọ fún un pé, “Máa lọ, ọmọbìnrin mi.”
And Ruth the Moabitess says to Naomi, “Please let me go into the field, and I gather among the ears of grain after him in whose eyes I find grace”; and she says to her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 Rutu sì jáde lọ láti ṣá ọkà tí àwọn olùkórè fi sílẹ̀ lẹ́yìn wọn. Ó wá jẹ́ wí pé inú oko Boasi tí ó ti ìdílé Elimeleki wá ni ó lọ láìmọ̀-ọ́n-mọ̀.
And she goes and comes and gathers in a field after the reapers, and her chance happens—the portion of the field is Boaz’s who [is] of the family of Elimelech.
4 Nígbà náà ni Boasi dé láti Bẹtilẹhẹmu tí ó sì kí àwọn olùkórè wí pé, “Kí Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú yín.” Wọ́n sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Kí Olúwa bùkún fún ọ.”
And behold, Boaz has come from Beth-Lehem, and says to the reapers, “YHWH [is] with you”; and they say to him, “YHWH blesses you.”
5 Boasi sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ olórí àwọn olùkórè wí pé, “Ti ta ni ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin yẹn?”
And Boaz says to his young man who is set over the reapers, “Whose [is] this young person?”
6 Ìránṣẹ́ tí ó jẹ́ olórí àwọn olùkórè náà sì fèsì pé, “Ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin ará Moabu tí ó tẹ̀lé Naomi wá láti ilẹ̀ Moabu ni.
And the young man who is set over the reapers answers and says, “A young woman—Moabitess—she [is], who came back with Naomi from the fields of Moab,
7 Ó sọ wí pé, ‘Kí ń jọ̀wọ́ jẹ́ kí òun máa ṣá ọkà lẹ́yìn àwọn olùkórè.’ Ó sì ti ń ṣe iṣẹ́ kárakára láti òwúrọ̀ títí di ìsinsin yìí nínú oko àyàfi ìgbà tí ó lọ láti sinmi fún ìgbà díẹ̀ lábẹ́ ibojì.”
and she says, Please let me glean and I have gathered among the sheaves after the reapers; and she comes and remains since the morning and until now; she sat in the house a little [while].”
8 Nígbà náà ni Boasi sọ fún Rutu pé, “Gbọ́ ọmọbìnrin mi, má ṣe lọ sí oko mìíràn láti ṣá ọkà, má sì ṣe kúrò ní ibi. Dúró níbí pẹ̀lú àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin mi.
And Boaz says to Ruth, “Have you not heard, my daughter? Do not go to glean in another field, and also, do not pass over from here, and thus you cleave to my young women:
9 Wo ibi tí wọ́n ti ń kórè kí o sì máa tẹ̀lé àwọn obìnrin. Mo ti pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọkùnrin kí wọ́n má ṣe fi ọwọ́ kàn ọ́. Nígbàkígbà tí òǹgbẹ bá sì ń gbẹ ọ́, lọ kí ó sì mu omi nínú àmù èyí tí àwọn ọkùnrin ti pọn omi sí nínú.”
your eyes [are] on the field which they reap, and you have gone after them; have I not charged the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty then you have gone to the vessels, and have drunk from that which the young men draw.”
10 Rutu wólẹ̀, ó sì wí fún Boasi pé, “Èéṣe tí èmi fi bá ojúrere rẹ pàdé tó báyìí, tí o sì kíyèsi mi, èmi àjèjì àti àlejò?”
And she falls on her face, and bows herself to the earth, and says to him, “Why have I found grace in your eyes, to discern me, and I a stranger?”
11 Boasi sì fèsì wí pé, “Èmi ti gbọ́ gbogbo bí o ti ń ṣe sí ìyá ọkọ ọ̀ rẹ láti ìgbà tí ọkọ rẹ ti kú àti bí o ti ṣe fi baba àti ìyá rẹ àti ilẹ̀ rẹ sílẹ̀, tí o sì wá láti gbé láàrín àwọn ènìyàn tí ìwọ kò mọ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀ rí.
And Boaz answers and says to her, “It has been thoroughly declared to me all that you have done with your mother-in-law, after the death of your husband, and you leave your father, and your mother, and the land of your birth, and come to a people which you have not known before.
12 Kí Olúwa kí ó san ẹ̀san ohun tí ìwọ ṣe fún ọ. Kí o sì gba èrè kíkún láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, abẹ́ ìyẹ́ ẹni tí ìwọ sá wá fún ààbò.”
YHWH repays your work, and your reward is complete from YHWH, God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
13 Rutu sì fèsì wí pé, “Kí èmi kí ó máa rí ojúrere láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ síwájú sí i olúwa mi. Ìwọ ti tù mí nínú nípa sísọ ọ̀rọ̀ rere sí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé èmi kò tó ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ.”
And she says, “Let me find grace in your eyes, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken to the heart of your maidservant, and I am not as one of your maidservants.”
14 Nígbà tí àkókò oúnjẹ sì tó, Boasi sọ fún Rutu pé, “Wá gba ìwọ̀n àkàrà yìí kí o sì fi run wáìnì kíkan.” Òun sì jókòó pẹ̀lú àwọn olùkórè, Boasi sì fún un ní ọkà yíyan. Òun sì jẹ́, ó yó, ó sì tún ṣẹ́kù.
And Boaz says to her, “At meal-time come near here, and you have eaten of the bread, and dipped your morsel in the vinegar.” And she sits at the side of the reapers, and he reaches to her roasted grain, and she eats, and is satisfied, and leaves.
15 Nígbà tí ó sì dìde láti máa ṣá ọkà, Boasi pàṣẹ fún àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wí pé, “Bí ó tilẹ̀ ń ṣà láàrín oko ọkà pàápàá, ẹ má ṣe dí i lọ́wọ́.
And she rises to glean, and Boaz charges his young men, saying, “Even between the sheaves she gleans, and you do not cause her to blush;
16 Bí kò ṣe pé kí ẹ mú lára àwọn ìtí sílẹ̀ fún láti ṣá, kí ẹ má sì ṣe ba a wí.”
and also you surely cast to her of the handfuls—and have left, and she has gleaned, and you do not push against her.”
17 Rutu sì ń ṣá ọkà títí ó fi di ìrọ̀lẹ́, nígbà tí ó sì pa ọkà barle tí ó rí ṣà, tí ó sì fẹ́ ẹ tán, èyí tí ó rí sì tó ìwọ̀n garawa kan (lita méjìlélógún).
And she gleans in the field until the evening, and beats out that which she has gleaned, and it is about an ephah of barley;
18 Ó sì gbé e, ó sì lọ sí ìlú, ìyá ọkọ rẹ sì rí ọkà tí ó rí ṣà bi o tí pọ̀ tó, Rutu sì mú oúnjẹ tí ó jẹ kù lẹ́yìn tí ó ti yó tan fún ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀.
and she takes [it] up, and goes into the city, and her mother-in-law sees that which she has gleaned, and she brings out and gives to her that which she left from her satiety.
19 Ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀ sì bi í léèrè wí pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ ti ṣá ọkà lónìí? Àti wí pé oko ta ni ìwọ gbé ṣiṣẹ́? Alábùkún fún ni ọkùnrin náà tí ó bojú wò ọ.” Rutu sì sọ ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó ti ṣiṣẹ́ fún ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ní oko ọkùnrin kan tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Boasi ni mo ti ṣiṣẹ́ lónìí.”
And her mother-in-law says to her, “Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? May he who is discerning you be blessed.” And she declares to her mother-in-law with whom she has worked, and says, “The name of the man with whom I have worked today [is] Boaz.”
20 Naomi sì wí fún un pé, “Kí Olúwa, kí ó bùkún fún ọkùnrin náà. Ọlọ́run kò dáwọ́ oore àti àánú ṣíṣe sí àwọn alààyè àti òkú dúró.” Naomi sì sọ síwájú sí i wí pé, “Ìbátan tí ó súnmọ́ wa pẹ́kípẹ́kí ni ọkùnrin náà ń ṣe, ó sì jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó ní ẹ̀tọ́ láti ra ohun ìní ìdílé padà.”
And Naomi says to her daughter-in-law, “Blessed [is] he of YHWH who has not forsaken His kindness with the living and with the dead”; and Naomi says to her, “The man is a relation of ours; he [is] of our redeemers.”
21 Rutu, ará Moabu sì wí pé, “Ju gbogbo rẹ̀ lọ, ó sọ fún mi pé, ‘Kí ń máa ṣá ọkà pẹ̀lú àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ òun, títí wọn yóò fi parí ìkórè.’”
And Ruth the Moabitess says, “Also he surely said to me, Near the young people whom I have you cleave until they have completed the whole of the harvest which I have.”
22 Naomi sì sọ fún Rutu, ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ìbá dára bí ó bá le bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ ṣiṣẹ́. Nítorí pé wọ́n le è dà ọ́ láàmú bí o bá lọ sí oko ẹlòmíràn.”
And Naomi says to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “Good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and they do not come against you in another field.”
23 Rutu sì bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin Boasi ṣiṣẹ́ títí tí wọ́n fi parí ìkórè ọkà barle àti ti jéró. Ó sì ń gbé pẹ̀lú ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀.
And she cleaves to the young women of Boaz to glean, until the completion of the barley-harvest, and of the wheat-harvest, and she dwells with her mother-in-law.
