< Ruth 2 >

1 Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Naomi ní ìbátan kan láti ìdílé Elimeleki ọkọ rẹ̀, aláàánú ọlọ́rọ̀, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Boasi.
2 Ruth 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 find favor.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
Rutu ará Moabu sì wí fún Naomi pé, “Jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó lọ sí inú oko láti ṣá ọkà tí àwọn olùkórè fi sílẹ̀ ní ọ̀dọ̀ ẹnikẹ́ni tí èmi yóò bá ojúrere rẹ̀ pàdé.” Naomi sì sọ fún un pé, “Máa lọ, ọmọbìnrin mi.”
3 She 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.
Rutu sì jáde lọ láti ṣá ọkà tí àwọn olùkórè fi sílẹ̀ lẹ́yìn wọn. Ó wá jẹ́ wí pé inú oko Boasi tí ó ti ìdílé Elimeleki wá ni ó lọ láìmọ̀-ọ́n-mọ̀.
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
Nígbà náà ni Boasi dé láti Bẹtilẹhẹmu tí ó sì kí àwọn olùkórè wí pé, “Kí Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú yín.” Wọ́n sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Kí Olúwa bùkún fún ọ.”
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
Boasi sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ olórí àwọn olùkórè wí pé, “Ti ta ni ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin yẹn?”
6 The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
Ìránṣẹ́ tí ó jẹ́ olórí àwọn olùkórè náà sì fèsì pé, “Ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin ará Moabu tí ó tẹ̀lé Naomi wá láti ilẹ̀ Moabu ni.
7 She 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 rested a little in the house.”
Ó sọ wí pé, ‘Kí ń jọ̀wọ́ jẹ́ kí òun máa ṣá ọkà lẹ́yìn àwọn olùkórè.’ Ó sì ti ń ṣe iṣẹ́ kárakára láti òwúrọ̀ títí di ìsinsin yìí nínú oko àyàfi ìgbà tí ó lọ láti sinmi fún ìgbà díẹ̀ lábẹ́ ibojì.”
8 Then 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.
Nígbà náà ni Boasi sọ fún Rutu pé, “Gbọ́ ọmọbìnrin mi, má ṣe lọ sí oko mìíràn láti ṣá ọkà, má sì ṣe kúrò ní ibi. Dúró níbí pẹ̀lú àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin mi.
9 Let 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.”
Wo ibi tí wọ́n ti ń kórè kí o sì máa tẹ̀lé àwọn obìnrin. Mo ti pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọkùnrin kí wọ́n má ṣe fi ọwọ́ kàn ọ́. Nígbàkígbà tí òǹgbẹ bá sì ń gbẹ ọ́, lọ kí ó sì mu omi nínú àmù èyí tí àwọn ọkùnrin ti pọn omi sí nínú.”
10 Then 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?”
Rutu wólẹ̀, ó sì wí fún Boasi pé, “Èéṣe tí èmi fi bá ojúrere rẹ pàdé tó báyìí, tí o sì kíyèsi mi, èmi àjèjì àti àlejò?”
11 Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.
Boasi sì fèsì wí pé, “Èmi ti gbọ́ gbogbo bí o ti ń ṣe sí ìyá ọkọ ọ̀ rẹ láti ìgbà tí ọkọ rẹ ti kú àti bí o ti ṣe fi baba àti ìyá rẹ àti ilẹ̀ rẹ sílẹ̀, tí o sì wá láti gbé láàrín àwọn ènìyàn tí ìwọ kò mọ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀ rí.
12 May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Kí Olúwa kí ó san ẹ̀san ohun tí ìwọ ṣe fún ọ. Kí o sì gba èrè kíkún láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, abẹ́ ìyẹ́ ẹni tí ìwọ sá wá fún ààbò.”
13 Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not as one of your servants.”
Rutu sì fèsì wí pé, “Kí èmi kí ó máa rí ojúrere láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ síwájú sí i olúwa mi. Ìwọ ti tù mí nínú nípa sísọ ọ̀rọ̀ rere sí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé èmi kò tó ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ.”
14 At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.
Nígbà tí àkókò oúnjẹ sì tó, Boasi sọ fún Rutu pé, “Wá gba ìwọ̀n àkàrà yìí kí o sì fi run wáìnì kíkan.” Òun sì jókòó pẹ̀lú àwọn olùkórè, Boasi sì fún un ní ọkà yíyan. Òun sì jẹ́, ó yó, ó sì tún ṣẹ́kù.
15 When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.
Nígbà tí ó sì dìde láti máa ṣá ọkà, Boasi pàṣẹ fún àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wí pé, “Bí ó tilẹ̀ ń ṣà láàrín oko ọkà pàápàá, ẹ má ṣe dí i lọ́wọ́.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
Bí kò ṣe pé kí ẹ mú lára àwọn ìtí sílẹ̀ fún láti ṣá, kí ẹ má sì ṣe ba a wí.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
Rutu sì ń ṣá ọkà títí ó fi di ìrọ̀lẹ́, nígbà tí ó sì pa ọkà barle tí ó rí ṣà, tí ó sì fẹ́ ẹ tán, èyí tí ó rí sì tó ìwọ̀n garawa kan (lita méjìlélógún).
18 She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.
Ó sì gbé e, ó sì lọ sí ìlú, ìyá ọkọ rẹ sì rí ọkà tí ó rí ṣà bi o tí pọ̀ tó, Rutu sì mú oúnjẹ tí ó jẹ kù lẹ́yìn tí ó ti yó tan fún ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀.
19 Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
Ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀ sì bi í léèrè wí pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ ti ṣá ọkà lónìí? Àti wí pé oko ta ni ìwọ gbé ṣiṣẹ́? Alábùkún fún ni ọkùnrin náà tí ó bojú wò ọ.” Rutu sì sọ ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó ti ṣiṣẹ́ fún ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ní oko ọkùnrin kan tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Boasi ni mo ti ṣiṣẹ́ lónìí.”
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, who has not abandoned 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.”
Naomi sì wí fún un pé, “Kí Olúwa, kí ó bùkún fún ọkùnrin náà. Ọlọ́run kò dáwọ́ oore àti àánú ṣíṣe sí àwọn alààyè àti òkú dúró.” Naomi sì sọ síwájú sí i wí pé, “Ìbátan tí ó súnmọ́ wa pẹ́kípẹ́kí ni ọkùnrin náà ń ṣe, ó sì jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó ní ẹ̀tọ́ láti ra ohun ìní ìdílé padà.”
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
Rutu, ará Moabu sì wí pé, “Ju gbogbo rẹ̀ lọ, ó sọ fún mi pé, ‘Kí ń máa ṣá ọkà pẹ̀lú àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ òun, títí wọn yóò fi parí ìkórè.’”
22 Naomi 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.”
Naomi sì sọ fún Rutu, ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ìbá dára bí ó bá le bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ ṣiṣẹ́. Nítorí pé wọ́n le è dà ọ́ láàmú bí o bá lọ sí oko ẹlòmíràn.”
23 So 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.
Rutu sì bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin Boasi ṣiṣẹ́ títí tí wọ́n fi parí ìkórè ọkà barle àti ti jéró. Ó sì ń gbé pẹ̀lú ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀.
