¹Huan, a pi Naomiin a kiangah, Ka tanu, nang dinga hoih ding omna ka honzon sak sinta kei dia hia?

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?

²I tanaupa Boazi, a sikha nungakte toh a na navasepnapa om hilou hia? Ngaiin, tu jan chiangin barli-buh phual ah a jap siangsin hi.

²And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

³Huchiin, kisil inla, kinilh inla, kizepna puan silh inla, phualah va hohsuk in, ahihhangin an bang a nek a a dawn khit masiah a kiangah kithei sak het ken.

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.

⁴Huan, hichi ahi dinga, a lup chiangin a lupna chiamteh inla, huan, lut inla, a khe lem inla, lumin; huan, aman na hih ding a honna hilh ding a chi a.

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.

⁵Huan, aman a kiangah, Na gen peuh ka hih ding a chi a.

⁵And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.

⁶Huchiin phualah a hoh suka, a pi hilh bangbang in a hih hi.

⁶And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.

⁷Huan, Boaziin an a ne a, a dawn khitin a lungsimin nuam a honsa mahmah a, buhvum bula lum dingin a hohta hi; huan awlawlin a vahoh a, a khe a lema, a lum samta hi.

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.

⁸Huan, hichi ahi a, janlaiin huai mipa a lauta, a langkhat a nga a; huan, ngaiin, a khe kiangah numei a na lumta maia.

⁸And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

⁹Huan, aman, Kua na hia? a chi a. Aman, Na sikhanu Ruthi ka hi; huchiin na sikhanu na puan honjawnin, ka tanau bul lah na hi ngala, a chi a.

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.

¹⁰Huan, aman Ka tanu, TOUPAN nang hon vualjawl hen: tangval genthei hiam, hau hiam na zuih louh danin a tunglai sangin a nunglam ah hoihna na nak hihlat jaw hi.

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.

¹¹Huchiin ka tanu, lauken aw; na gen bangbang in na tungah ka hih ding; I khua a mi tengteng in lah numei kizentak na hi chih a theivek ngal ua.

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.

¹²Huan, tanau kinai ihi ngut a, himahleh kei sanga naizaw a om hi.

¹²And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.

¹³Tujan zaw om peuhmah inla, jingchiang jingsangin na tunga aman a tanau hih ding a hihnop leh a hoih ahi dinga, tanau tuampen hih leh ake: ahihhangin tanau hihding na tunga ahih nop kei leh, tanau hih ding pen TOUPA a hing ngei bangin ken ka hih ngeingei ding: jingsang tan lum nilouh maiin, a chi a.

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.

¹⁴Huchiin jingsang tanin a khe bulah a luma: huan, kuamah kimuh chian theih main a thoua, Phual ah numei a hong chih himhim kuamah in theikei u heh, a chi hima,

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.

¹⁵Huan, a kiangah, Na puansilh la inla, dohin, a chi a. huchiin a doha; huan, barli buh dan guk a teha, a suana; huan, khuaah a paita hi.

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.

¹⁶Huan, a pi kiang a tunin, Ka tanu, bang nong chi a oi? a nachi a. Huan, aman huai mipain a tunga thil ana hih tengteng a hilh hi.

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.

¹⁷Hiai barli buh dan guk a honpiaa, Na pi kiangah a vuakin pai het ken, a honchi hi, a chi a.Huan, aman, Ka tanu, bangchibangin ahia thil a hongom sin na theih main om maiin; tunia hiai thil a hih khit mateng huai mipa lah a dai mai sin ngal keia, a chi a.

¹⁷And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.

¹⁸Huan, aman, Ka tanu, bangchibangin ahia thil a hongom sin na theih main om maiin; tunia hiai thil a hih khit mateng huai mipa lah a dai mai sin ngal keia, a chi a.

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.
