Ruth 3
1 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
To pacoengah Naomi mah anih khaeah, Ka canu, kamongah na oh thai hanah, nang han im pakrong nahaeloe hoih mak ai maw?
2 Now isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on the threshing floor.
Nang hoi nawnto kaom nongpatanawk ih angraeng, Boaz loe aicae ih canawk ah om ai maw? Khenah, vaiduem ah cang atithaih ahmuen ah anih loe barli cang to atii tih.
3 Therefore 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.
Tui amthluh loe hmuihoih angnok pacoengah, khukbuen kahoih angkhuk ah; to pacongah cang atithaih ahmuen ah caeh tathuk ah, toe anih buh aan caak pacoeng ai karoek to, nang to ah na oh, tito anih mah panoek hmah nasoe.
4 It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall note the place where he is lying. Then you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”
Anih loe naa ah maw iih, tito panoek ah; to pacoengah caeh loe, a khok khukhaih kahni to thlaeh pacoengah angsong pae ah; to naah anih mah na sak han koi to na thui tih hmang, tiah a naa.
5 She said to her, “All that you say, I will do.”
Ruth mah, Nang thuih ih lok baktiah ka sak boih han, tiah a naa.
6 She went down to the threshing floor, and did everything that her mother-in-law told her.
To pongah anih loe cang atithaih ahmuen ah caeh tathuk moe, amni mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak.
7 When 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 lay down.
Boaz loe buhcaak pacoengah, poek kanawm ah cang pakhuenghaih ahmuen taengah caeh moe, angsong kawk; to naah Ruth loe amzaita hoiah caeh moe, a khok khukhaih kahni to thlaeh pacoengah, angsong.
8 At midnight, the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Qum taning phak naah Boaz loe angpae moe, angqoi naah, khenah, nongpata maeto a khokkung ah angsong pae sut.
9 He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth your servant. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your servant; for you are a near kinsman.”
Nang loe mi aa? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Kai loe na tamna Ruth ni; nang loe canawk kanghnai ah na oh pongah, nangmah ih kahni to ka nuiah baih ah, tiah a naa.
10 He said, “You are blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you didn’t follow young men, whether poor or rich.
Anih mah, Ka canu, Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih na paek nasoe; hmaloe ah na sak ih tahmenhaih pongah hnukkhuem ah na sak ih tahmenhaih to len kue; nang loe angraeng hnukah doeh, kamtang hnukah doeh, mi kawbaktih thendoeng hnukah doeh na bang ai.
11 Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
Ka canu, vaihi loe zithaih tawn hmah lai ah; nang hnik ih hmuen boih kang sak pae han; vangpui thung ih kaminawk boih mah, nang loe kakoep nongpata kami ah na oh, tiah panoek o boeh.
12 Now it is true that I am a near kinsman. However, there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Kai loe na canawk kanghnai koekah ka oh; toe kai pongah anghnai kue canawk maeto oh vop.
13 Stay this night, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good. Let him do the kinsman’s duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do the duty of a kinsman for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the morning.”
Vaiqum loe hae ah om raeh, canawk ah oh baktih toengah khawnbangah anih mah nang akrang han koeh nahaeloe, hoih; anih mah akrang nasoe, toe anih mah ni akrang han koeh ai nahaeloe, Angraeng loe hing pongah, canawk ah kaom kai mah kang krang han hmang; khodai khoek to hae ah iip ah, tiah a naa.
14 She lay at his feet until the morning, then she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
To pongah Ruth loe anih khokkung ah khodai khoek to iih. Toe anih loe minawk kalah mah panoek ai naah angthawk. Boaz mah, cang atithaih ahmuen ah nongpata maeto angzoh, tiah mi doeh panoeksak hmah, tiah a naa.
15 He 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; then he went into the city.
To pacoengah anih mah, Nang khuk ih kahni to baih ah loe patawn ah, tiah a naa. Nongpata mah kahni to a patawnh naah, anih mah cang phawh noekhaih kalen tarukto tah pae moe, Ruth hanah phawhsak; to pacoengah anih loe vangpui ah amlaem let.
16 When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?” She told her all that the man had done for her.
Ruth mah amni khae phak naah, Naomi mah, Ka canu, kawbangmaw na oh? tiah a dueng. To naah Boaz mah a nuiah sak ih hmuen kawng to Ruth mah thuih pae boih.
17 She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go empty to your mother-in-law.’”
Ruth mah kalen cang noekhaih hoiah barli cang tarukto ang paek, nam ni im ah bangkrai ah amlaem hmah, tiah ang naa, tiah a thuih pae.
18 Then she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know what will happen; for the man will not rest until he has settled this today.”
To naah Naomi mah, Ka canu, kawbangmaw hmuen hae oh boeh, tiah na panoek ai karoek to, zing raeh. Anih loe to hmuen kawng thuih pacoeng ai karoek to omduem mak ai, tiah a naa.
