Rit 3
1 Alò Naomi, bèlmè li a te di l: “Fi mwen, èske m pa dwe chache sekirite pou ou, pou sa kapab ale byen pou ou?
Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
2 Alò èske Boaz avèk sèvant li kote ou te ye yo, èske se pa pwòch fanmi pa nou? Gade byen, l ap vannen lòj nan glasi a aswè a.
And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he winnows barley to night in the threshing floor.
3 Pou sa, lave kò ou, onksyone ou e mete pi bèl rad ou yo pou desann nan glasi vannen an. Men pa fè nonm nan konnen kilès ou ye jiskaske li fin manje ak bwè.
Wash yourself therefore, and anoint you, and put your raiment upon you, and get you down to the floor: but make not yourself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
4 Li va rive ke lè li fin kouche, ke ou va remake byen kote li kouche a, epi ou va ale dekouvri pye li e kouche la. Konsa li va di ou kisa pou w fè.”
And it 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 you down; and he will tell you what you shall do.
5 Epi li te di li: “Tout sa ou di m fè, mwen va fè l.”
And she said unto her, All that you say unto me I will do.
6 Konsa, li te desann kote glasi vannen an pou te fè selon tout sa ke bèlmè li te kòmande li yo.
And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
7 Lè Boaz te fin manje ak bwè, kè l te kontan. Konsa li te ale kouche nan pwent pil lòj la, e Ruth te vin kote li an sekrè. Konsa, li te dekouvri pye li pou te kouche la.
And 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.
8 Li te vin rive nan mitan nwit lan ke nonm nan te sibitman sanse yon bagay, epi lè l panche devan an, men yon fanm te kouche la nan pye li.
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 Li te di: “Kilès ou ye?” Li te reponn: “Mwen se Ruth, sèvant ou a. Konsa, tann kouvèti ou sou sèvant ou a, paske ou se pwòch fanmi pa m.”
And he said, Who are you? And she answered, I am Ruth your handmaid: spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid; for you are a near kinsman.
10 Epi li te di: “Ke ou kapab beni pa SENYÈ a, fi mwen. Ou te montre dènye favè ou a pi bèl pase premye a! Konsa, ke ou pa t kouri dèyè jennonm yo, kit rich, kit pòv.
And he said, Blessed be you of the LORD, my daughter: for you have showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you followed not young men, whether poor or rich.
11 Alò fi mwen, pa pè; mwen va fè pou ou nenpòt sa ke ou mande, paske tout pèp nan vil la konnen ke ou se yon fanm plen kalite.
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to you all that you require: for all the city of my people does know that you are a virtuous woman.
12 Alò, se vrè ke mwen se yon pwòch fanmi. Men gen yon fanmi pi pre pase m.
And now it is true that I am your near kinsman: nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Rete pou nwit lan e lè maten rive, si li va peye ranson ou, trè byen; kite li peye ranson ou. Men si li pa vle peye ranson ou, alò, kon SENYÈ a viv la, mwen va peye ranson ou! Kouche la jis rive nan maten.”
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto 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 to you, then will I do the part of a kinsman to you, as the LORD lives: lie down until the morning.
14 Konsa, li te kouche nan pye li jis rive nan maten e te leve avan youn ta kab rekonèt lòt. Konsa, Boaz te di: “Pa kite li vin konnen ke fanm nan te vini nan glasi vannen an.”
And 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.
15 Ankò li te di: “Ban mwen manto ki sou ou a e kenbe li.” Konsa, li te kenbe li e li te mezire sis mezi nan lòj la e te poze l sou li. Epi li te lantre nan vil la.
Also he said, Bring the vail that you have upon you, 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.
16 Lè li te rive vè bèlmè li, li te di: “Kijan sa te sòti, fi mwen?” Epi li te di li tout sa ke nonm nan te fè pou li.
And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who are you, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
17 Li te di: “Men sis mezi lòj li te ban mwen yo, paske li te di: ‘Pa kite men a bèlmè ou vid.’”
And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto your mother in law.
18 Epi li te di: “Tann, fi mwen, jiskaske ou konnen kijan afè sa vin fini, paske nonm nan p ap pran repo jiskaske li fin regle li jodi a menm.”
Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
