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 her, “My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?

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.

Now Boaz, whose young women you were with, is he not our relative? In fact, 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.

Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your best garment 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.

Then it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies; and you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down; and he will tell you what you should do.”

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

And she 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 according to all that her mother-in-law instructed 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 after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

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

Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying 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?” So she answered, “I am Ruth, your maidservant. Take your maidservant under your wing, for you are a close relative.”

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.

Then he said, “Blessed are you of the Lord, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go 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, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.

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

Now it is true that I am a close relative; however, there is a relative closer 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.

Stay this night, and in the morning it shall be that if he will perform the duty of a close relative for you—good; let him do it. But if he does not want to perform the duty for you, then I will perform the duty for you, as the Lord lives! Lie down until 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.

So she lay at his feet until morning, and she arose before one could recognize another. Then he said, “Do not let it 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 shawl that is on you and hold it.” And when she held it, he measured six ephahs of barley, and laid it on her. Then she went into the city.

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

When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “ Is that you, my daughter?” Then she 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, “These six ephahs of barley he gave me; 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 she said, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day.”
