Ruud Iyo Bocas Oo Joogay Meesha Badarka Lagu Tumo

Oo markaasaa Nimco oo ahayd soddohdeed ayaa waxay ku tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, miyaanan nasasho kuu doonayn inay ku wanaagsanaato? Haddaba sow Bocas oo ka mid ah xigaalkayaga ma joogo kaasoo aad addoommihiisii la joogtay? Bal eeg, caawa wuxuu shaciir ku haadinayaa meesha wax lagu tumo. Haddaba maydho, oo subko, oo dharkaagana xidho, oo waxaad tagtaa meesha wax lagu tumayo; laakiinse ninka ha istusin ilaa uu dhammaysto waxa uu cunayo oo cabbayo. Oo markuu seexdo, meeshuu jiifsado fiirso, oo markaas u gal, oo cagihiisa bannee, oo iska jiifso, oo isna wuxuu kuu sheegi doonaa waxaad samayn lahayd. Oo iyana waxay Nimco ku tidhi, Waxaad tidhi oo dhan waan yeeli doonaa. Markaasay tagtay meeshii wax lagu tumi jiray, oo waxay samaysay kulli wixii soddohdeed ku amartay. Oo Bocasna markuu wax cunay oo wax cabbay qalbigiisu waa faraxsanaa, oo wuxuu aaday inuu jiifsado meel tuulmo hadhuudh ah ka dambaysa. Markaasay aayar u timid oo cagihiisii bannaysay, oo way jiifsatay. Oo habeenbadhkii ayaa ninkii argaggaxay, oo wuu isrogay, oo bal eeg, naag baa cagihiisa jiiftay. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Tumaad tahay? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabtay, Waxaan ahay addoontaadii Ruud; haddaba macawistaada ku kor kala bixi addoontaada, waayo, waxaad tahay xigaal ii dhow. 10 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, Rabbigu ha ku barakeeyo, waayo, roonaan weyn baad i tustay ugu dambaystii, oo ka sii weyn tii markii hore, maxaa yeelay, ma aad raacin rag dhallinyaro ah, faqiir iyo taajir toona. 11 Haddaba, gabadhaydiiyey, ha cabsan; waayo, waan kuu samayn doonaa wixii aad sheegtay oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, dadka magaaladayda oo dhammu way wada og yihiin inaad tahay naag wanaagsan. 12 Haddaba inaan anigu ahay xigaal kuu dhow waa run, habase yeeshee waxaa jira nin xigaal ah oo iiga kaa sii dhow. 13 Haddaba bal caawa iska joog, oo subaxdana hadduu isagu kuu sameeyo waxa xigaalka waajibka ku ah waa hagaag, ha sameeyo, laakiinse haddaanu kuu yeelin waajibka xigaalka, de markaas Rabbiga noloshiisaan kuugu dhaartaye, anaa kuu samaynaya. 14 Oo iyana cagihiisay jiifsatay ilaa subaxdii, markaasay waxay kacday intaan qof qof kale laga garan karin. Waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Yaan la ogaanin in naagu timid meesha hadhuudhka lagu tumo. 15 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Garbasaarta korkaaga saaran bal keen, oo hoori, kolkaasay hoorisay; markaasuu wuxuu ugu miisay lix koombo oo shaciir ah, wuuna u saaray; oo isna magaaladuu galay. 16 Oo markay soddohdeed u timid, Nimco waxay ku tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, tumaad tahay? Markaasay waxay u sheegtay wixii ninku u sameeyey oo dhan. 17 Oo waxay tidhi, Lixdatan koombo oo shaciirka ah isagii baa i soo siiyey, waayo, wuxuu igu yidhi, Adoo faro madhan soddohdaa ha u tegin. 18 Oo iyana markaasay tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, iska fadhiiso ilaa aad ogaatid sida arrintu u dhacayso, waayo, ninku nasan maayo ilaa uu maanta xaalkaas dhammeeyo.

Ruth and Boaz at the Threshing Floor

One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi(A) said to her, “My daughter, I must find a home[a](B) for you, where you will be well provided for. Now Boaz, with whose women you have worked, is a relative(C) of ours. Tonight he will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor.(D) Wash,(E) put on perfume,(F) and get dressed in your best clothes.(G) Then go down to the threshing floor, but don’t let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.(H) When he lies down, note the place where he is lying. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. He will tell you what to do.”

“I will do whatever you say,”(I) Ruth answered. So she went down to the threshing floor(J) and did everything her mother-in-law told her to do.

When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits,(K) he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile.(L) Ruth approached quietly, uncovered his feet and lay down. In the middle of the night something startled the man; he turned—and there was a woman lying at his feet!

“Who are you?” he asked.

“I am your servant Ruth,” she said. “Spread the corner of your garment(M) over me, since you are a guardian-redeemer[b](N) of our family.”

10 “The Lord bless you,(O) my daughter,” he replied. “This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier:(P) You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor. 11 And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.(Q) 12 Although it is true that I am a guardian-redeemer of our family,(R) there is another who is more closely related than(S) I. 13 Stay here for the night, and in the morning if he wants to do his duty as your guardian-redeemer,(T) good; let him redeem you. But if he is not willing, as surely as the Lord lives(U) I will do it.(V) Lie here until morning.”

14 So she lay at his feet until morning, but got up before anyone could be recognized; and he said, “No one must know that a woman came to the threshing floor.(W)(X)

15 He also said, “Bring me the shawl(Y) you are wearing and hold it out.” When she did so, he poured into it six measures of barley and placed the bundle on her. Then he[c] went back to town.

16 When Ruth came to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked, “How did it go, my daughter?”

Then she told her everything Boaz had done for her 17 and added, “He gave me these six measures of barley, saying, ‘Don’t go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”

18 Then Naomi said, “Wait, my daughter, until you find out what happens. For the man will not rest until the matter is settled today.”(Z)
