¹Huan, Naomiin a pasal tanau, Elimelek suan, mi neizou tak tanau a neia; a min Boazi ahi.

¹And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.

²Huan, Moab mi Ruthiin Naomi kiangah, lou lamah ka hoh dia, mi louah honhehpihmi peuh buhsang ka va zong ding aw, a chi a. Huan, a kiangah Hoh ve, ka tanu, achia.

²And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.

³Huchiin a hohta, buh lamite lakmaih a va zonga; huchiin Elimelek suan Boazi lou takah a vahoh kha geih a.

³And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.

⁴Huchiin, ngaiin, Bethlehem a kipanin Boazi ava hoha, buh lamite kiangah, Na kiang uah Toupa om hen, a chi a, Huan, amau, TOUPAN hon vualjawl heh, chiin a dawng uh.

⁴And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.

⁵Huchiin Boaziin a sikha, buh lamite tunga houtu kiangah; Hiai koilam nungak ahia oi? a chi a.

⁵Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

⁶Huan, a buh lamite tunga houtu a sikhain, Moab nungak, Moab gam akipan Naomi toh hongpai ahi.

⁶And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:

⁷Huan, aman, honhehpih inla, na buhsang uh ka zong ding a, buh lamiten a buhphal uh a lakkhawm khit chiang in ka zong zel ding aw, achia; huchiin a hong a, in a tomchik a om chih louh jingsang a kipan a om nilouh ahi, chiin a dawng hi.

⁷And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

⁸Huchiin Boaziin Ruthi kiangah, Ka tanu, ngai dih ve; buhsang zong in lou dangah hoh kenla, hiai akipan pai ken, ka sikha nungakte kiangah om gige in.

⁸Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:

⁹A buh lak uh en gige inla, a nung uh sui jelin; tangvalte nang bangmah hon chih lou dingin thu ka pe vekta hi; huan, na dang a tak peuh chiangin tuibel a tangvalte tui tawisa va dawn jelin, a chi a.

⁹Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.

¹⁰Huchiin a kun a, lei siin a khupboha, a kiangah, Nam dang lah ka hi ngala, nang hichi banga non theih nopa non na hehpih bangchidan ahia? a chi a.

¹⁰Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?

¹¹Huan, Boaziin a dawnga, a kiangah, Na pasal sih nusiah na pi tunga na thilhihdan tengteng min a hinhilh vek ua; huan, na nu leh na pa leh na pianna gam paisan a tumalama na mi theih ngeilouhte kianga na hong pai dante leng.

¹¹And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.

¹²TOUPAN na thilhih honthuk henla, TOUPA, Israelte Pathian, ki humbitna dinga a kha nuai na hondelh in na hoihman tampiin honpia hen, a chi a.

¹²The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

¹³Huan, aman, Pu, honhehpihin; nang non lungmuana, na sikha nungakte laka mi hikei mahleng, na sikhanu hoihtakin non houpihta ngala, a chi a.

¹³Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.

¹⁴Huan, annek hunin Boaziin a kiangah, Hongpai dih ve, tanghoute hongne sam inla, tanghou themte uain thukah diah samin, a chi a. huchiin buh lamite kiangah a tua; huan, buh kan a pia a; a ne a, a kham nungin leng a ne val laia.

¹⁴And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.

¹⁵Huan, buhsang zong dinga a ding nawnin, Boaziin a tangvalte kiangah, Buhphal lakate leng tawm jel henla, tai kei un.

¹⁵And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:

¹⁶Huan, a lom-ate leng, dohkhiak sak unla, nutsiat jel unla, tom henla, tai kei un, chiin thu a pia a.

¹⁶And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.

¹⁷Huchiin loua buhsang nitaklam tanin a zonga; huan, a zonsa akhena, barli-buh epha khat hiamtak ahi.

¹⁷So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.

¹⁸Huan, a pua a, khuaah a paita, huan, a piin a buhsang zon a namu a; huan aman a khamnunga a nekbang a suah a, a pia hi.

¹⁸And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.

¹⁹Huan, a piin a kiangah, Tunia koi lama buhsang ahia na zon? Koi ah ahia na na vasep? A hon nathei nuampa vualjawl in om hen, a chi a. Huan, aman kua kiangah ahia a vasep chih a pi a hilh hi. Tunia ka va nasepna min Boazi ahi, a chi a.

¹⁹And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.

²⁰Huan, Naomiin a mounu kiangah, Toupa, mihing leh misi tunga a hehpihna tawp tuan ngeilou in amah vualjawl hen, achia. Huan, Naomiin a kiangah, huai mi, I kinaihpih, I tanau bul eive, a chi a.

²⁰And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.

²¹Haun, Moab mi Ruthiin, A hi mahve, ka kiangah leng, Ka buh a lakkhit vek mateng uh ka tangvalte kiangah tel gige in, leng honchi eive, a chi a.

²¹And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.

²²Huan, Naomiin a mounu Ruthi kiangah, Ka tanu, lou danga a honmuh het louhna ding un a sikha nungakte lakah ngen pai lechin a hoih ding, a chi a.Huchiin, barli buh leh buhpi lak khit matengin Boazi sikha nungakte lakah ngen buhsang zingin a hoha, huan, a pi kiangah a om hi.

²²And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.

²³Huchiin, barli buh leh buhpi lak khit matengin Boazi sikha nungakte lakah ngen buhsang zingin a hoha, huan, a pi kiangah a om hi.

²³So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
