1Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
1Huan, a pi Naomiin a kiangah, Ka tanu, nang dinga hoih ding omna ka honzon sak sinta kei dia hia?
2Now isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing floor.
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.
3Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor, but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
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.
4It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lay down; then he will tell you what you shall do.”
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.
5She said to her, “All that you say I will do.”
5Huan, aman a kiangah, Na gen peuh ka hih ding a chi a.
6She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her.
6Huchiin phualah a hoh suka, a pi hilh bangbang in a hih hi.
7When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came softly, uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
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.
8It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
8Huan, hichi ahi a, janlaiin huai mipa a lauta, a langkhat a nga a; huan, ngaiin, a khe kiangah numei a na lumta maia.
9He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread your skirt over your handmaid; for you are a near kinsman.”
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.
10He said, “Blessed are you by Yahweh, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn’t follow young men, whether poor or rich.
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.
11Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.
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.
12Now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is a kinsman nearer than I.
12Huan, tanau kinai ihi ngut a, himahleh kei sanga naizaw a om hi.
13Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part. But if he will not do the part of a kinsman for you, then will I do the part of a kinsman for you, as Yahweh lives. Lie down until the morning.”
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.
14She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
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,
15He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he went into the city.
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.
16When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?” She told her all that the man had done to her.
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.
17She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go empty to your mother-in-law.’”
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.
18Then she said, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day.”
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.
