< Ruth 3 >

1 Afterward Naomi her mother in lawe said vnto her, My daughter, shall not I seeke rest for thee, that thou mayest prosper?
Mokolo moko, Naomi, mama-bokilo ya Rite, alobaki na ye: — Mwana na ngai, nasengeli te koluka nzela mpo na bolamu na yo?
2 Now also is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maides thou wast? beholde, he winoweth barly to night in the floore.
Pamba te oyebi malamu ete Boazi, oyo osalaki elongo na basali na ye ya basi, azali ndeko na biso. Na pokwa ya lelo, akoyungola orje oyo basilaki kosopa na etando.
3 Wash thy sellfe therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment vpon thee, and get thee downe to the floore: let not the man know of thee, vntill he haue left eating and drinking.
Boye, sukola malamu nzoto na yo, pakola mafuta mpe lata bilamba na yo, oyo eleki kitoko. Bongo, okokende na etando epai wapi akobeta orje na ye; kasi sala ete Boazi ayeba te ete ozali na esika yango kino akosilisa kolia mpe komela.
4 And when he shall sleepe, marke the place where he layeth him downe, and go, and vncouer the place of his feete, and lay thee downe, and he shall tell thee what thou shalt doe.
Tango akokende kolala, okotala malamu esika nini akozala. Sima, okopusana, okolongola elamba oyo ezipi makolo na ye mpe okomilalisa wana, na makolo na ye. Ye moko akoyebisa yo makambo oyo osengeli kosala.
5 And she answered her, All that thou biddest me, I will doe.
Rite azongiselaki ye: — Nakosala nyonso oyo oyebisi ngai.
6 So she went downe vnto the floore, and did according to all that her mother in lawe bade her.
Bongo Rite akendeki na etando mpe asalaki makambo nyonso oyo mama-bokilo na ye ayebisaki ye.
7 And when Boaz had eaten, and drunken, and cheared his heart, he went to lie downe at the end of the heape of corne, and she came softly, and vncouered the place of his feet, and lay downe.
Tango Boazi asilisaki kolia mpe komela, motema na ye ezalaki na esengo; akendeki kolala na suka ya mipiku ya orje. Bongo Rite apusanaki malembe-malembe, alongolaki elamba oyo ezipaki makolo ya Boazi mpe amilalisaki wana.
8 And at midnight the man was afraide and caught holde: and loe, a woman lay at his feete.
Na kati-kati ya butu, tango Boazi ayokaki malili, aminyololaki mpe amonaki mwasi alali na makolo na ye.
9 Then he sayd, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmayd: spread therefore the wing of thy garment ouer thine handmayd: for thou art the kinsman.
Atunaki ye: — Yo ozali nani? Azongisaki: — Ezali ngai Rite, mwasi mosali na yo. Tanda songe ya elamba na yo kino epai na ngai, pamba te ozali na ndingisa ya kosikola.
10 Then sayd he, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: thou hast shewed more goodnes in the latter end, then at the beginning, in as much as thou followedst not yong men, were they poore or rich.
Boazi azongiselaki ye: — Tika ete Yawe apambola yo, mwana na ngai ya mwasi! Bosembo oyo otalisi sik’oyo, ezali monene koleka bosembo oyo otalisaki liboso; pamba te otambolaki te sima na bilenge mibali, ezala bazwi to babola.
11 And now, my daughter, feare not: I will doe to thee all that thou requirest: for all the citie of my people doeth knowe, that thou art a vertuous woman.
Mpe sik’oyo mwana na ngai ya mwasi, kobanga te; nakosalela yo nyonso oyo okosenga, pamba te bato nyonso ya esika oyo bayebi ete ozali mwasi ya malonga.
12 And now, it is true that I am thy kinsman, howbeit there is a kinsman neerer then I.
Sik’oyo, atako solo nazali na ndingisa ya kosikola, kasi ezali na mosikoli mosusu oyo azali pene na yo koleka ngai.
13 Tarie to night, and when morning is come, if he will doe the duetie of a kinsman vnto thee, well, let him doe the kinsmans duetie: but if he will not doe the kinsmans part, then wil I doe the duetie of a kinsman, as the Lord liueth: sleepe vntill the morning.
Boye, lekisa butu awa; bongo lobi na tongo, tokotala soki moto yango akolinga kosikola yo. Soki akolinga, wana tika ye asikola yo; kasi soki aboyi, nalaki yo na Kombo na Yawe ete ngai nakosikola yo. Boye liboso ete tongo etana, lala awa.
14 And she lay at his feete vntill the morning: and she arose before one could know another: for he sayd, Let no man knowe, that a woman came into the floore.
Boye Rite alalaki na makolo na ye mpe alamukaki na tongo-tongo, wana molili ezalaki nanu kopekisa bato komonana malamu; pamba te Boazi alobaki: « Moto moko te ayeba ete mwasi moko ayaki na etando oyo. »
15 Also he sayd, Bring the sheete that thou hast vpon thee, and holde it. And when she helde it, he measured sixe measures of barly, and layde them on her, and she went into the citie.
Liboso ete akende, Boazi ayebisaki ye: « Pesa ngai elamba oyo olati, simba yango malamu. » Wana Rite asimbaki yango malamu, Boazi atielaki ye bakilo pene tuku mibale ya orje mpe asungaki ye mpo na kotombola mpe kotia yango na moto. Mpe Rite azongaki na engumba.
16 And when she came to her mother in law, she sayd, Who art thou, my daughter? And she tolde her all that the man had done to her,
Tango Rite akomaki epai ya mama-bokilo na ye, Naomi atunaki ye: — Mwana na ngai ya mwasi, makambo eleki ndenge nini? Boye Rite ayebisaki ye makambo oyo Boazi asalaki mpo na ye.
17 And said, These sixe measures of barly gaue he me: for he sayd to me, Thou shalt not come emptie vnto thy mother in lawe.
Mpe abakisaki: « Apesaki ngai kutu bakilo tuku mibale ya orje oyo, pamba te ayebisaki ngai: ‹ Kozonga maboko pamba te epai ya mama-bokilo na yo. › »
18 Then sayd she, My daughter, sit still, vntill thou knowe how the thing will fall: for the man wil not be in rest, vntill he hath finished the matter this same day.
Bongo Naomi alobaki na ye: — Sik’oyo mwana na ngai ya mwasi, vanda awa kino okomona ndenge makambo oyo ekosuka; pamba te mobali wana akozala na kimia te kino akosilisa likambo oyo, kaka na mokolo ya lelo.
