1Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
1 Neyomi kurnyo dumi fo go no, arzakante beeri no, Elimelek dumey wane, kaŋ maa ga ti Buwaza.
2Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
2 Ruta, Mowab ize wayo ne Neyomi se: «Sohõ kay, naŋ ya koy fari ka koobu jeeney ra, boro kaŋ do ay du gaakuri a jine.» Neyomi ne a se: «To, koy, ay izo.»
3She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
3 A binde koy, a go ga koobu faro ra, a goono ga wiikoy banda gana. A darza no ka zumbu Buwaza faro baa ra, nga mo Elimelek dumi no.
4Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “Yahweh bless you.”
4 Buwaza mo go ga kaa ka fun Baytlahami. A ne wiikoy se: «Rabbi ma goro araŋ banda.» I tu ka ne a se: «Rabbi ma ni albarkandi.»
5Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
5 Kala Buwaza ne nga bannya kaŋ ga wiikoy dabari se: «May ize way no woone?»
6The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
6 Bannya kaŋ ga wiikoy dabari tu ka ne a se: «Mowabancey ize way no, nga kaŋ kaa Neyomi banda ka fun Mowab laabu.
7She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little in the house.”
7 A ne ay se: ‹Ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa naŋ ay ma wiikoy banda gana, ka koobu izey kumna-kumna bokwey game ra.› A kaa binde, a goono ga koobu za susubo ka kaa sohõ, kala fulanzamyaŋ kayna kaŋ a te windo ra.»
8Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
8 Buwaza bare ka ne Ruta se: «Ay izo, ma maa. Koobu se ni ma si koy fari fo do, ni ma si gana ne wo mo, amma ni ma lamba ay koŋŋey gaa.
9Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”
9 Ma fari kaŋ i goono ga wi guna k'i gana. Ma bay kaŋ ay na arwasey lordi ka ne i ma si ni ham. Da ni maa jaw, ma koy ay foobo do ka kaa haro kaŋ i guru ka kande din ra ka haŋ.»
10Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”
10 Waato din gaa Ruta sombu nga moyduma boŋ ka sumbal hala ganda. A ne Buwaza se: «Ifo se no ay du gaakuri ni jine, hala ni ma saal ay, ay kaŋ yaw no?»
11Boaz answered her, “It has fully been shown me, all that you have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.
11 Buwaza tu ka ne a se: «I n'ay fahamandi nda hay kulu kaŋ ni te ni anzura se za ni kurnye buuyaŋ. A go, ni na ni baabo da ni nyaŋo naŋ, da laabo kaŋ ra i na ni hay, hala ni kaa boroyaŋ do kaŋ ni mana jin k'i bay.
12May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
12 Rabbi ma ni goyo bana ni se, ni ma alhakku toonante ta Rabbi Irikoy, Israyla* wano do, kaŋ ni kaa ka tuguyaŋ do ceeci a fatey cire.»
13Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens.”
13 Gaa no Ruta ne: «Ya ay jine bora, naŋ ya du gaakuri ni do, zama ni n'ay bine gaabandi. Ni na gomni sanney wo te ay, ni koŋŋa se, baa kaŋ ay manti ni windi koŋŋey ra afo.»
14At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it.
14 }waaro waate Buwaza ne a se: «Kaa ne ka buuru ŋwa. Ma ni looma sufu hari mooro ra.» A binde, Ruta goro wiikoy do. I na kukure salle a se, a ŋwa ka kungu ka fay da cindo.
15When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.
15 Waato kaŋ a tun ka ne nga ma koobu, kala Buwaza na nga arwasey lordi ka ne: «Wa naŋ a ma koobu hala bokwey game ra, araŋ ma s'a kayna mo.
16Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
16 Araŋ ma fay ka kaa a se mo bokwey ra, araŋ ma naŋ mo a ma koobu, araŋ ma s'a ganji.»
17So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel of barley.
17 Yaadin cine no a koobu nd'a faro ra, za susuba kala wiciri kambo to. A na wo kaŋ nga du din safa hal a te sanda hawgara jare, sayir* masangu.
18She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.
18 A n'a sambu ka furo birno ra. A anzura di haŋ kaŋ a du koobo do. Ruta na kunji cindo mo cab'a se, curkusa wane kaŋ cindi.
19Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
19 A anzura ne a se: «Man no ni koobu hunkuna? Man no ni goy? Albarka ma goro bora kaŋ na ni saal din boŋ!» Ruta na bora kaŋ do nga goy din cabe anzura se ka ne: «Bora kaŋ do ay goy hunkuna, a maa ga ti Buwaza.»
20Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “Blessed be he of Yahweh, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”
20 Neyomi binde ne nga anzura se: «Rabbi, kaŋ mana fay da nga gomno cabeyaŋ buukoy da fundikooney se, a ma bora din albarkandi!» Neyomi ne a se koyne: «Bora din iri dumi no, imaano. A go borey kaŋ ga hin ka fansa sambu iri se ra.»
21Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.’”
21 Ruta, Mowab ize wayo binde ne: «Oho, a ne ay se ay ma lamba nga goy-izey gaa hal i m'a farey wiyaŋey kulu ban.»
22Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”
22 Neyomi ne nga anzura Ruta se: «A boori, ay izo! Ma soobay ka koy a koŋŋey banda, i ma si ni gar fari waani fo ra.»
23So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
23 Yaadin no a lamba Buwaza koŋŋey gaa zama nga ma koobu, hala waati kaŋ i na sayir da alkama wiyaŋo ban. A go mo nga anzura do ga goro.
