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

Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek rest 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 isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on 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, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor, but don’t 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.

It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall note the place where he is lying. Then you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lay down. Then he will tell you what to do.”

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

She said to her, “All that you say, I will do.”

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

She went down to the threshing floor, and did everything that her mother-in-law 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.

When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came softly, uncovered his feet, and laid 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 turned himself; 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.

He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth your servant. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your servant; for you are a near kinsman.”

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.

He said, “You are blessed by Yahweh, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you didn’t follow 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.

Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy 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 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.

Stay this night, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good. Let him do the kinsman’s duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do the duty of a kinsman for you, as Yahweh lives. 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.

She lay at his feet until the morning, then she rose up before one could discern 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.

He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; then he 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, “How did it go, my daughter?” 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.

She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go empty 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, “Wait, my daughter, until you know what will happen; for the man will not rest until he has settled this today.”
