< Rit 2 >

1 Naomi te gen yon fanmi mari l' yo te rele Bòz. Se te yon nonm ki te rich epi ki te grannèg. Li te fè pati menm branch fanmi ak Elimelèk, defen mari Naomi an.
Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
2 Rit, fanm peyi Moab la, di Naomi konsa: -Kite m' ale nan jaden yo pou m' ranmase tèt lòj moun k'ap ranmase rekòt yo kite tonbe atè. M'a jwenn yon moun ki va kite m' ranmase nan jaden li. Naomi reponn li: -Ale non, mafi.
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 shall find favor." She said to her, "Go, my daughter."
3 Se konsa, Rit leve, li al nan jaden yo, li pran mache dèyè travayè yo, li t'ap ranmase tèt lòj yo te kite tonbe atè. Chans pou li, li rive nan yon jaden ki te pou Bòz, fanmi Elimelèk la.
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.
4 Li te la depi kèk tan lè Bòz rive soti Betleyèm. Li di travayè yo bonjou, li di yo: -Seyè a avèk nou! Yo reponn li: -benediksyon Seyè a avè ou tou!
Look, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "YHWH be with you." They answered him, "YHWH bless you."
5 Bòz mande kontwòlè a: -Ki jenn ti madanm sa a?
Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"
6 Nonm lan reponn: -Se yon fi moun lòt peyi li ye. Se li menm ki te vini ansanm ak Naomi lè li te tounen soti nan peyi Moab.
The servant who was set over the reapers answered, "It is the Moabite woman who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
7 Li te mande m' pou m' kite l' mache dèyè travayè yo ranmase tèt lòj ki tonbe atè yo. L'ap degaje l' la a depi maten. Li fèk sispann pou l' pran yon ti repo anba tonèl lan la a.
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 stayed a little in the house."
8 Lè sa a, Bòz di Rit konsa: -M'ap ba ou yon ti konsèy, tande, mafi. Ou pa bezwen ale nan lòt jaden pou ranmase tèt lòj. Ou mèt rete nan jaden sa a, bò medam yo ki isit la.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field, and do not go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
9 Gade tout kote y'ap travay nan jaden an, fè dèyè yo, rete ak yo. Mwen bay mesye m' yo lòd pou yo pa anbete ou. Chak fwa w'a swaf dlo, ou mèt al bwè nan kannari yo plen pou sa.
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."
10 Rit bese tèt li jouk atè devan Bòz. Li di l' konsa: -Poukisa w'ap bay kò ou tout traka sa a pou mwen? Poukisa w'ap fè tout bagay sa a pou yon moun ki pa menm ras avè ou?
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?"
11 Bòz reponn li: -Yo di m' tou sa ou te fè pou bèlmè ou depi mari ou mouri a. Mwen konnen ou kite manman ou, papa ou ak peyi kote ou moun lan, ou vin viv nan mitan yon lòt pèp ou pa t' janm konnen anvan.
Boaz answered her, "It has fully been shown to 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.
12 Mwen mande Seyè a pou li rekonpanse ou pou tou sa ou te fè. Wi. Ou vini mete ou anba zèl li pou l' pwoteje ou. Se pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ba ou yon bèl rekonpans!
May YHWH repay your work, and a full reward be given you from YHWH, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."
13 Rit reponn li: -Ou pa konn sa ou fè la a pou mwen, msye! Jan ou pale byen avè m' la a, sa ban m' kouraj, malgre mwen pa vo yonn nan medam k'ap sèvi avè ou yo.
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 handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens."
14 Lè lè pou yo manje a rive, Bòz di Rit konsa: -Pwoche non! Pran yon moso pen, tranpe l' nan sòs vinèg la pou ou manje! Se konsa Rit vin chita ansanm ak lòt travayè yo. Bòz te ba li kèk grenn lòj griye tou. Rit manje plen vant li, epi rès manje ki te rete a, li sere l'.
At 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.
15 Lè Rit leve al ranmase, Bòz bay travayè yo lòd sa a: -Nou mèt kite l' ranmase grenn menm kote pakèt mare yo ye a. Pa chache l' kont.
When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not humiliate her.
16 Okontrè, rache kèk tèt nan pakèt mare yo, lage yo atè pou l' ka ranmase. Pa di l' anyen, tande!
Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her."
17 Se konsa Rit rete ranmase grap lòj nan jaden an jouk solèy kouche. Lè li fin bat tèt lòj yo, li jwenn sa ki te manke l' pou l' te gen vennsenk ti mamit la pa t' anyen.
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.
18 Li pran grenn lòj li yo, li tounen lavil, li moutre bèlmè li tou sa li te ranmase. Li ba li tou rès manje ki te rete lè l' te fin manje a.
She 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.
19 Naomi mande l': -Kote ou ranmase tout lòj sa a jòdi a? Nan jaden ki moun ou t'ap travay, en? Se pou Bondye beni moun ki fè sa pou ou a! Lè sa a, Rit di bèlmè li konsa li t'ap travay nan jaden yon msye yo rele Bòz.
Her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you gleaned today? And 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."
20 Naomi di bèlfi li a: -benediksyon Seyè a pou Bòz! Wi. Seyè a ap toujou kenbe pawòl li, nou te mèt vivan, nou te mèt mouri! Naomi di ankò: -Nonm sa a, se yon fanmi pre nou li ye. Se yonn nan moun ki reskonsab defann enterè fanmi an.
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of YHWH, 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."
21 Lè sa a, Rit di konsa: -Men sa l' di m' ankò: Se pou m' rete ranmase tèt lòj ansanm ak travayè li yo jouk rekòt la fini.
And Ruth the Moabitess said, "He even said to me, 'You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'"
22 Naomi reponn li: -Wi, pitit mwen! Pito ou rete travay avèk medam yo nan jaden Bòz la, tande. Si ou ale nan jaden lòt moun, malè ka rive ou.
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."
23 Se konsa, Rit rete ansanm avèk medam k'ap travay ak Bòz yo. Li t'ap ranmase tèt lòj jouk travayè yo te fin rekòlte tout lòj la ak tout ble a. Li t'ap viv tout tan sa a ak bèlmè li toujou.
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.
