2 Na he whanaunga to Naomi, ara to tana tahu, he tangata taonga nui, no te hapu o Erimereke; ko Poaha tona ingoa.
2 Na ka mea a Rutu Moapi ki a Naomi, Kia haere ahau ki te mara ki te hamu i nga puku parei i muri i te tangata e manakohia mai ai ahau. Ano ra ko tera, Haere, e taku tamahine.
3 Na haere ana ia, a, no te taenga atu, ka hamu i te mara i muri i nga kaikokoti: a tupono noa ia ko te wahi o te mara i a Poaha o te hapu o Erimereke.
4 Na ko te taenga o Poaha i Peterehema, ka mea ki nga kaikokoti, Kia noho a Ihowa ki a koutou. Ano ra ko ratou ki a ia, Kia manaakitia koe e Ihowa.
5 Katahi ka mea a Poaha ki tana tangata i tohutohu nei i nga kaikokoti, Na wai tenei kotiro?
6 Na ka whakahoki te kaitohutohu i nga kaikokoti, ka mea, Ko te kotiro Moapi tenei i hoki tahi mai nei raua ko Naomi i te whenua o Moapa;
7 I mea mai hoki ia, Tukua ahau kia hamu, kia kohikohi i roto i nga paihere, i muri i nga kaikokoti: heoi haere ana ia, a i konei tonu ia o te ata iho ano a tae mai ki naianei; he iti nei tona noho i te whare.
8 Na ka mea a Poaha ki a Rutu, E kore ranei koe e rongo mai, e taku tamahine? Kaua e haere ki tetahi mara ke hamu ai; kaua ano e haere atu i konei; engari me noho tonu ki konei, ki aku kotiro.
9 Kia matatau ou kanohi ki te mara e kotia ana e ratou, ka whai i a ratou: kahore ianei ahau i ki atu ki nga taitamariki kia kaua ratou e pa ki a koe? E matewai hoki koe, haere ki nga oko, inu ai i ta nga taitamariki i utu mai ai.
10 Na ka tapapa iho tera, ka piko iho ki te whenua, a ka mea ki a ia, Na te aha koe i manako mai ai ki ahau, i mohio ai hoki ki ahau, he manene nei hoki ahau?
11 Na ka whakahoki a Poaha, ka mea ki a ia, Kua ata korerotia mai ki ahau nga mea katoa i mea ai koe ki tou hungawai i muri i te matenga o tau tahu, tau whakarerenga hoki i tou papa, i tou whaea, i te whenua ano i whanau ai koe, a haere mai ana ki te iwi kihai i mohiotia e koe i mua ake nei.
12 Ma Ihowa e utu tau mahi; kia ata rite hoki te utu e homai ki a koe e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, kua tae mai nei hoki koe ki raro ki ona parirau okioki ai.
13 Ano ra ko tera, Kia manakohia mai ahau, e toku ariki; ka ora nei hoki toku ngakau i a koe, he pai hoki tau kupu ki tau pononga; ko ahau ia kahore e rite ki tetahi o au pononga wahine.
14 I mea ano a Poaha ki a ia i te wa i kai ai, Haere mai ki konei, ki te kai taro mau, ka tuku hoki i tau kongakonga ki roto ki te winika. Na ka noho ia ki te taha o nga kaikokoti, i homai ano e ratou he witi pahuhu mana. Na kai ana ia, a ka makona, a toe ake.
15 A, i tona whakatikanga ki te hamu, ka ako a Poaha i ana taitamariki, ka mea, Kia hamu ano ia i roto i nga paihere; kaua ano hoki ia e meinga kia whakama.
16 Whakangahorotia ano etahi kapunga mana, whakarerea atu kia kohia e ia, kaua hoki e riria.
17 Na ka hamu ia i te mara a ahiahi noa, a patupatu ana e ia ana i hamu ai: a me te mea kotahi te epa parei.
18 Na tangohia ana e ia, a haere ana ki te pa, a ka kite tona hungawai i ana i hamu ai: i whakaputainga ano e ia, i homai ki a ia nga toenga i a ia kua makona.
19 Na ka mea tona hungawai ki a ia, I hamu koe ki hea inaianei? I hea hoki koe e mahi ana? kia manaakitia te tangata i mohio na ki a koe. Na korerotia ana e ia ki tona hungawai te tangata i mahi nei ia ki a ia, a ka mea, Ko te ingoa o te tangata i mahi nei ahau ki a ia inaianei ko Poaha.
20 Ano ra ko Naomi ki tana hunaonga, Kia manaakitia ia e Ihowa, kihai nei tona aroha i mahue ki te hunga ora, ki te hunga mate. Na ka mea a Naomi ki a ia, He tata taua tangata ki a taua, no o taua whanaunga tupu.
21 Na ka mea ano a Rutu Moapi, I mea mai ano hoki ia ki ahau, Kia tata tonu koe ki aku tangata, kia poto ra ano aku mea katoa te kokoti.
22 Na ka mea a Naomi ki a Rutu, ki tana hunaonga, He pai, e taku tamahine, ki te haere tahi koe me ana kotiro, kei riria koe i te mara ke.
23 Na kei te whai tonu ia i nga kotiro a Poaha, ka hamu a poto noa nga parei te kokoti, me te witi hoki te kokoti; i tona hungawai ia tona nohoanga.

Ruth Meets Boaz in the Grain Field
2 Now Naomi had a relative(A) on her husband’s side, a man of standing(B) from the clan of Elimelek,(C) whose name was Boaz.(D)
2 And Ruth the Moabite(E) said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain(F) behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor.(G)”
Naomi said to her, “Go ahead, my daughter.” 3 So she went out, entered a field and began to glean behind the harvesters.(H) As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelek.(I)
4 Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, “The Lord be with you!(J)”
“The Lord bless you!(K)” they answered.
5 Boaz asked the overseer of his harvesters, “Who does that young woman belong to?”
6 The overseer replied, “She is the Moabite(L) who came back from Moab with Naomi. 7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves(M) behind the harvesters.’ She came into the field and has remained here from morning till now, except for a short rest(N) in the shelter.”
8 So Boaz said to Ruth, “My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with the women who work for me. 9 Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the women. I have told the men not to lay a hand on you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled.”
10 At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground.(O) She asked him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me(P)—a foreigner?(Q)”
11 Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law(R) since the death of your husband(S)—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know(T) before.(U) 12 May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord,(V) the God of Israel,(W) under whose wings(X) you have come to take refuge.(Y)”
13 “May I continue to find favor in your eyes,(Z) my lord,” she said. “You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant—though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”
14 At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come over here. Have some bread(AA) and dip it in the wine vinegar.”
When she sat down with the harvesters,(AB) he offered her some roasted grain.(AC) She ate all she wanted and had some left over.(AD) 15 As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, “Let her gather among the sheaves(AE) and don’t reprimand her. 16 Even pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up, and don’t rebuke(AF) her.”
17 So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed(AG) the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah.[a](AH) 18 She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gathered. Ruth also brought out and gave her what she had left over(AI) after she had eaten enough.
19 Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you!(AJ)”
Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.
20 “The Lord bless him!(AK)” Naomi said to her daughter-in-law.(AL) “He has not stopped showing his kindness(AM) to the living and the dead.” She added, “That man is our close relative;(AN) he is one of our guardian-redeemers.[b](AO)”
21 Then Ruth the Moabite(AP) said, “He even said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they finish harvesting all my grain.’”
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It will be good for you, my daughter, to go with the women who work for him, because in someone else’s field you might be harmed.”
23 So Ruth stayed close to the women of Boaz to glean until the barley(AQ) and wheat harvests(AR) were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
