1Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
1 Kala a anzura Neyomi ne a se: «Ay izo, manti sohõ kala ay ma fulanzamay ceeci ni se, zama ni ma du laakal kanay goray.
2And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
2 Guna Buwaza neeya kaŋ ni go a koŋŋey banda, manti iri dumi no? A go, hunkuna cin a ga sayir* faaru karayaŋo do.
3Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
3 Ni ma nyumay ka ji tuusu, ka ni boŋ daabu ka koy karayaŋo do, amma ma si ni boŋ bangandi a se, kala waati kaŋ a ŋwa ka haŋ ka ban.
4And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
4 A ga ciya mo, waati kaŋ a ga kani, ma laakal da nango kaŋ a ga kani. Waato din gaa ma furo ka daabiro kaa a cey gaa ka kani noodin. Nga mo ga ci ni se haŋ kaŋ no ni ga te.»
5And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
5 Ruta ne a se: «Hay kulu kaŋ ni ci, ay g'a te.»
6And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
6 A koy karayaŋo do ka te mate kulu kaŋ cine anzura ci a se.
7And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
7 Waato kaŋ Buwaza ŋwa ka haŋ, a bina ga kaan mo, kal a koy ntasso gusamo banda zama nga ma kani. Ruta mo kaa moso-moso, ka daabiro kaa a ce taamey gaa, ka kani noodin.
8And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
8 A ciya mo, hala cin bindi, albora humburu. A bare ya-cine day, kala wayboro fo go ga kani nga cey do haray.
9And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
9 A ne a se: «Nin no may?» Ruta mo tu ka ne: «Ay no ni koŋŋa Ruta. Ma ni daabiro feeri ni koŋŋa boŋ, zama ni ya dumi no kaŋ ga maan.»
10And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
10 Buwaza ne: «Ya ay izo, Rabbi ma ni albarkandi. Gomni woone kaŋ ni kokor ka cabe, a bisa ijina, za kaŋ ni mana arwasey suuban, hala noorukooni no wala talka no.
11And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.
11 Sohõ, ay izo, ma si humburu. Hay kulu kaŋ ni ci, ay g'a te ni se, zama kwaaro wo gorokoy kulu bay kaŋ ni gonda boro-hannotaray.
12And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
12 Cimi no ay ya ni dumi kaŋ ga maan no, amma kulu nda yaadin, dumi fo go no kaŋ maan ka bisa ay.
13Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
13 Ma kani hunkuna. A ga ciya, waati kaŋ mo bo, da bora din te ni se haŋ kaŋ ga hima kay, to, a boori, a ma dumitaray goy te. Da mo a mana te ni se mate kaŋ ga hagu dumi ma te mo, ay ga te wo kaŋ ga hagu dumi gaa a ma te, ay ze da Rabbi. Ma ni kaniyaŋ te noodin hala mo ma bo.»
14And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
14 Kal a kani Buwaza cey do haray kala mo bo. A tun za waati kaŋ boro si hin ka boro bay, zama Buwaza ne: «I ma si bay hala wayboro kaa karayaŋo do.»
15Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
15 Buwaza ne a se mo: «Kande daabiro kaŋ go ni boŋo gaa k'a gaay.» A binde n'a gaay. Buwaza na sayir muudu iddu neesi ka no a se. Gaa no Buwaza furo birno ra.
16And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
16 Waato kaŋ Ruta kaa nga anzura do a ne: «Ya ay izo, nin no may?» Kala Ruta ci nga anzura se mate kulu kaŋ albora te nga se.
17And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
17 A ye ka ne: «Sayir muudu iddu neeya kaŋ a n'ay no. Zama a ne: ‹Ma si koy kambe koonu ni anzura do.› »
18Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
18 Kala Neyomi mo ne: «Ya ay izo, ma goro ne ka hangan haŋ kaŋ ga te, zama bora din si fulanzam bo, kala nd'a na sanno ban hunkuna.»
