Ruth 3

Na ka mea a Naomi, tona hungawai ki a ia, Kaua ianei ahau e rapu i te okiokinga mou, e taku tamahine, e puta mai ai te pai ki a koe?

Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

Ehara ianei i te whanaunga no taua a Poaha nana nei aua kotiro, ou hoa na? Nana, ko a tenei po ia whakarererere ai i te papapa o te parei i te patunga witi.

And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

Na horoia koe, ka whakawahi i a koe, ka kakahu ai i ou kakahu, ka haere ki raro, ki te patunga witi; kaua ia koe e whakaaturia ki taua tangata, a mutu noa tana kai, tana inu.

Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.

A ka takoto ia, na me titiro koe ki te wahi e takoto ai ia; a ka haere atu, ka hura i nga kakahu o ona waewae, ka takoto; ko reira ia whakaatu ai ki a koe i tau e mea ai.

And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Maku e mea nga mea katoa i korerotia mai na e koe ki ahau.

And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.

Na ko tona haerenga ki raro, ki te patunga witi, meatia ana e ia nga mea katoa i whakahaua e tona hungawai ki a ia.

And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.

Na ka kai a Poaha, ka inu, a hari ana tona ngakau, a ka haere, ka takoto ki te pito o te puranga: na ko te ata haerenga o tera, hurahia ana nga kakahu o ona waewae, na kua takoto.

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.

A, i waenganui po ka oho te mauri o taua tangata, ka tahuri ia: na, he wahine e takoto ana i ona waewae.

And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

Na ka mea ia, Ko wai koe? a ka mea ake tera, Ko Rutu ahau, ko tau pononga wahine: na uhia iho te pito o tou ki tau pononga; he whanaunga tupu hoki koe.

And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

Na ka mea ia, Kia manaakitia koe e Ihowa, e taku tamahine; nui atu hoki i to te timatanga tou aroha o te whakamutunga, i a koe kihai nei i aru i nga taitama, i te mea rawakore, i te mea whai taonga ranei.

And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

Na kaua e wehi, e taku tamahine; ka meatia e ahau ki a koe au mea katoa i ki mai ai; e mohio ana hoki te pa katoa o toku iwi he wahine koe e uaua ana ki te pai.

And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

Na he tika ano, he whanaunga tupu ahau noa; otiia tena ano tetahi e tata rawa ana i ahau.

And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.

Takoto marie i tenei po; a i te ata ki te whakawhanaunga ia ki a koe, he tika, mana te tikanga whanaunga; ki te kahore ia e pai mana te tikanga o te whanaunga ki a koe, na maku te tikanga whanaunga ki a koe; e ora ana a Ihowa. Ata takoto, kia ta ea ra ano te ata.

Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee 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 thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.

Na takoto tonu ia ki ona waewae a taea noatia te ata; a ka maranga, i te mea e kore te tangata e kite i tona hoa. Na ka mea tera, Kei mohiotia i haere mai he wahine ki te patunga witi.

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.

I mea ano ia, Tena koa te koroka i runga i a koe na, puritia mai. Na puritia ana e ia. Na ka mehuatia atu etahi parei e ia, e ono nga mehua: a whakawaha atu ana ki a ia; na haere ana ia ki te pa.

Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, 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.

A, no tona taenga ki tona hungawai, ka mea tera, Kei te pehea koe, e taku tamahine? Na korerotia ana e ia ki a ia nga mea katoa i mea ai taua tangata ki a ia.

And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.

I mea ano ia, Ko enei mehua parei e ono i homai e ia ki ahau; i mea hoki ki ahau, Kei haere kau koe ki tou hungawai.

And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.

Na ka mea tera, Ata noho, e taku tamahine, kia mohiotia ra ano e koe te tukunga iho o tenei mea: e kore hoki e mutu ta taua tangata, kia oti ra ano tenei mea i a ia aianei.

Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
