1 O o markaasaa Nimco oo ahayd soddohdeed ayaa waxay ku tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, miyaanan nasasho kuu doonayn inay ku wanaagsanaato?

Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to Ruth, My daughter, shall I not seek rest or a home for you, that you may prosper?

2 H addaba 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.

And now is not Boaz, with whose maidens you were, our relative? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.

3 H addaba 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.

Wash and anoint yourself therefore, and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

4 O o markuu seexdo, meeshuu jiifsado fiirso, oo markaas u gal, oo cagihiisa bannee, oo iska jiifso, oo isna wuxuu kuu sheegi doonaa waxaad samayn lahayd.

But when he lies down, notice the place where he lies; then go and uncover his feet and lie down. And he will tell you what to do.

5 O o iyana waxay Nimco ku tidhi, Waxaad tidhi oo dhan waan yeeli doonaa.

And Ruth said to her, All that you say to me I will do.

6 M arkaasay tagtay meeshii wax lagu tumi jiray, oo waxay samaysay kulli wixii soddohdeed ku amartay.

So she went down to the threshing floor and did just as her mother-in-law had told her.

7 O o 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.

And when Boaz had eaten and drunk and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then came softly and uncovered his feet and lay down.

8 O o habeenbadhkii ayaa ninkii argaggaxay, oo wuu isrogay, oo bal eeg, naag baa cagihiisa jiiftay.

At midnight the man was startled, and he turned over, and behold, a woman lay at his feet!

9 M arkaasuu 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.

And he said, Who are you? And she answered, I am Ruth your maidservant. Spread your wing over your maidservant, for you are a next of kin.

10 M arkaasuu 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.

And he said, Blessed be you of the Lord, my daughter. For you have made this last loving-kindness greater than the former, for you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich.

11 H addaba, 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.

And now, my daughter, fear not. I will do for you all you require, for all my people in the city know that you are a woman of strength (worth, bravery, capability).

12 H addaba inaan anigu ahay xigaal kuu dhow waa run, habase yeeshee waxaa jira nin xigaal ah oo iiga kaa sii dhow.

It is true that I am your near kinsman; however, there is a kinsman nearer than I.

13 H addaba 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.

Remain tonight, and in the morning if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good; let him do it. But if he will not do the part of a kinsman for you, then, as the Lord lives, I will do the part of a kinsman for you. Lie down until the morning.

14 O o 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.

And she lay at his feet until the morning, but arose before one could recognize another; for he said, Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.

15 O o 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.

Also he said, Bring the mantle you are wearing and hold it. So held it, and he measured out six measures of barley and laid it on her. And she went into the town.

16 O o markay soddohdeed u timid, Nimco waxay ku tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, tumaad tahay? Markaasay waxay u sheegtay wixii ninku u sameeyey oo dhan.

And when she came home, her mother-in-law said, How have you fared, my daughter? And Ruth told her all that the man had done for her.

17 O o waxay tidhi, Lixdatan koombo oo shaciirka ah isagii baa i soo siiyey, waayo, wuxuu igu yidhi, Adoo faro madhan soddohdaa ha u tegin.

And she said, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.

18 O o iyana markaasay tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, iska fadhiiso ilaa aad ogaatid sida arrintu u dhacayso, waayo, ninku nasan maayo ilaa uu maanta xaalkaas dhammeeyo.

Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out; for the man will not rest until he finishes the matter today.
