Rit 3
Haitian Creole Version
3 ¶ Kèk tan apre sa, Naomi di Rit konsa: -Pa pito m' chache yon mari pou ou, pou ou ka viv ak kè poze lakay ou?
2 Ou chonje Bòz, pa vre? Mèt jaden kote ou te ye ansanm ak medam yo? Bon! Ou chonje mwen te di ou se yon fanmi pre nou li ye! Bon. Koute! Aswè a, yo pral vannen lòj yo fin bat yo.
3 Al benyen. Mete odè sou ou, mete pi bèl rad ou sou ou. Epi ale bò glasi a, kote y'ap vannen an. Men, pa kite Bòz konnen ou la. W'a tann li fin manje, li fin bwè diven anvan.
4 Lè sa a, w'a gade byen kote li al kouche. Lè w'a wè dòmi pran l', ou va ale, w'a leve pwent dra ki kouvri pye l' yo, epi w'a kouche kouche ou la, bò kote l'. Li menm l'a di ou sa pou ou fè apre sa.
5 Rit reponn li: -M'a fè tou sa ou di m' fè.
6 ¶ Se konsa Rit leve vre, li ale bò glasi a, li fè sa bèlmè li te di l' fè a.
7 Lè Bòz fin manje, lè li fin bwè diven, kè l' te kontan. Li al kouche bò yon pil pay lòj, epi dòmi pote l' ale. Lè sa a, Rit pwoche tou dousman, li leve pwent dra ki te kouvri pye l' yo, epi li kouche la bò kote l'.
8 Nan mitan lannwit, Bòz pantan nan dòmi an. Li leve, li panche, li tou sezi wè yon fanm ki te kouche nan pye l'.
9 Li mande: -Ki moun sa? Rit reponn li: -Se mwen menm, Rit. Ou se yon fanmi pre nou. Se ou ki reskonsab pou pran swen mwen. Mwen vin jwenn ou.
10 Bòz di l' konsa: -benediksyon Seyè a avè ou, mafi! Sa w'ap fè la a pi konsekan pase tou sa ou te fè pou bèlmè ou la. Sa moutre ou pa soti pou ou lage fanmi an. Ou ta gen dwa al dèyè nenpòt ki jenn gason, rich osinon pòv, pou marye avè ou, men ou pa fè l'.
11 Ou pa bezwen bat kò ou, tande. M'ap fè tou sa ou mande m' fè pou ou a. Tout moun konnen ou se yon fanm total.
12 Se vre sa ou di a. Mwen se yon fanmi pre nou. Mwen reskonsab ou. Men, gen yon nonm ki fanmi ou pi pre pase m'.
13 Ou mèt rete pase nwit lan la. Denmen maten m'a chache konnen si li vle pran reskonsablite a sou do li. Si li dakò pou li pran li, m'a byen kontan. Si li pa vle, enben, mwen fè sèman devan Bondye vivan ki nan syèl la, m'ap pran l' mwen menm. Koulye a, rete kouche la jouk denmen maten.
14 ¶ Se konsa Rit kouche la nan pye l'. Men, anvan bajou kase, li leve pou moun pa wè l', paske Bòz pa t' vle pesonn konnen li te la.
15 Bòz di l' konsa: -Wete dra ki vlope ou la, louvri l' atè a. Rit louvri dra a atè. Bòz vide dis mamit lòj konsa ladan l'. Li mare l', epi li ede l' mete l' sou tèt li. Apre sa, Rit tounen lavil ak pakèt la.
16 Lè li rive lakay li, bèlmè a mande l': -Enben, mafi! Ki jan sa pase? Rit tanmen rakonte l' tou sa Bòz fè pou li.
17 Epi li di: -Anvan m' ale, li di m' konsa ou pa ka tounen san anyen. Se konsa, li ban m' dis mamit lòj sa yo.
18 Naomi di l': -Koulye a, Rit mafi, poze kò ou tann pou ou wè jan sa pral pase. Bòz p'ap bay kò l' kanpo jòdi a, tout tan li pa regle zafè sa a.

Ruth and Boaz at the Threshing Floor
3 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. 2 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) 3 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) 4 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.”
5 “I will do whatever you say,”(I) Ruth answered. 6 So she went down to the threshing floor(J) and did everything her mother-in-law told her to do.
7 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. 8 In the middle of the night something startled the man; he turned—and there was a woman lying at his feet!
9 “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)
