< Ruth 3 >

1 Kinuna ni Naomi a katuganganna kenkuana, “Anakko, saan kadi a rumbeng nga ibirukanka iti lugar a paginanaam, tapno nasayaat dagiti banbanag para kenka?
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 Ita ni Boaz, ti lalaki nga akin trabahador kadagiti babbai a kakaduam idi, saan kadi a kabagiantayo isuna? Ammom, agilaid isuna iti sebada inton rabii idiay pagirikan.
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 Ngarud, agdiguska, agpabangloka, sukatam ti badum ket mapanka idiay pagirikan. Ngem saanka nga agpadpadlaw iti lalaki agingga a malpas isuna a mangan ken uminom.
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 Ket siguradoem, inton agidda isuna, nga ammom ti lugar a pagiddaanna tapno makaapankanto kenkuana, lukaisamto ti sakana ket agiddaka sadiay. Ket ibagananto kenka ti aramidem.”
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 Kinuna ni Ruth kenni Naomi. “Aramidekto amin nga imbagam.”
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me will I do.
6 Napan ngarud isuna idiay pagirikan, ket sinurotna dagiti imbilin ti katuganganna kenkuana.
And she went down unto the threshing-floor, and did in accordance with all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
7 Idi nalpasen a nangan ken imminom ni Boaz, ket naragsak ti riknana, napan naturog isuna idiay pungto iti penpen dagiti bukel. Ket nagin-inayad nga immasideg ni Ruth, linukaisanna ti saka ni Boaz sa nagidda.
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 Napasamak iti tengnga iti rabii, nakigtot ti lalaki. Nagballikid isuna ket nakitana sadiay ti maysa a babai nga agid-idda iti sakaananna!
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 “Siasinoka”? kinunana. Simmungbat ti babai, “Siak ni Ruth, ti babai nga adipenmo. Iyaplagmo ti kagaymo iti babai nga adipenmo, gapu ta asidegka a kabagian.”
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 Kinuna ni Boaz, “Anakko, bendisionannaka koma ni Yahweh. Impakitam ti ad-adda a kinasayaatmo ita ngem idi damo, gapu ta saanka a nangsapul kadagiti siasinoman nga agtutubo a lallaki, napanglaw man wenno nabaknang.
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 Ket ita, anakko, saanka nga agbuteng! Aramidek kenka dagiti amin nga imbagam, gapu ta ammo ti entero a siudad dagiti tattaok a napategka a babai.
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 Ita, pudno nga asidegak a kabagianyo; nu pay kasta, adda ti as-asideg a kabagianyo ngem siak.
And now, it is indeed true that I am thy near kinsman; nevertheless, there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Agtalinaedka ditoy ita a rabii, ket inton bigat, no kayatna a tungpalen ti pagrebbengan kenka a kas maysa a kabagian a lalaki, nasayaaat, aramidenna ngarud ti pagrebbengan ti maysa a kabagian a lalaki. Ngem no saanna nga aramiden ti pagrebbengan ti maysa a kabagian a lalaki kenka, ket siak ti mangaramid iti dayta, isapatak kenni Yahweh a sibibiag. Agiddaka agingga iti agsapa.”
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 Nagidda ngarud ni Ruth iti sakaanan ni Boaz agingga iti agsapa. Ngem bimmangon isuna sakbay a mabigbig iti siasinoman ti sabali a tao. Gapu ta kinuna ni Boaz, “Awan koma ti makaammo nga immay ti babai ditoy pagirikan.”
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 Kalpasanna kinuna ni Boaz, “Iyegmo ditoy ti kagaymo ket yaplagmo.” Idi inaramidna daytoy, nangtakal ni Boaz iti innem a dadakkel a takal iti sebada iti kagayna sana impabagkat daytoy kenkuana. Kalpasanna, napanen ni Boaz idiay siudad.
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 Idi dimteng ni Ruth iti katuganganna, kinuna ni Naomi kenkuana, “Kumustaka, anakko?” Ket imbaga ni Ruth kenkuana ti amin nga inaramid ti lalaki para kenkuana.
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 Kinunana, “Dagitoy innem a takal iti sebada ti intedna kaniak, gapu ta kinunana, 'Saanka nga agawid iti katugangam nga awanan.'”
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 Ket kinuna ni Naomi kenkuana, “Agtalinaedka ditoy anakko, agingga a maammoam no ania ti pagbanaganna daytoy, gapu ta saanto nga aginana dayta a lalaki agingga a marisutna daytoy a banag ita nga aldaw.”
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.
