Ruth 3
1 One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek a resting place for you, that it may be well with you?
तिनकी सासू नाओमीले तिनलाई भनिन्, “मेरी छोरी, तिम्रो भलाइको निम्ति के मैले तिमीले विश्राम गर्ने ठाउँ खोज्नु पर्दैन?
2 Now is not Boaz, with whose servant girls you have been working, a relative of ours? In fact, tonight he is winnowing barley on the threshing floor.
तिमीले जसका महिला कामदारहरूसित काम गरेकी छ्यौ उही बोअज हाम्रो कुटुम्ब होइनन् र? हेर, तिनले आज राती खलामा जौ बत्ताउनेछन् ।
3 Therefore wash yourself, put on perfume, and wear your best clothes. Go down to the threshing floor, but do not let the man know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.
यसकारण, नुहाऊ, तेल लगाऊ र तिम्रो उत्तम लुगा लगाऊ र तल खलामा जाऊ । तर तिनले खान र पिउन नसकेसम्म ती मानिससँग देखा नपर ।
4 When he lies down, note the place where he lies. Then go in and uncover his feet, and lie down, and he will explain to you what you should do.”
तर जब तिनी सुत्छन् तिनी सुत्ने ठाउँ ख्याल गर, ताकि पछि तिमी तिनीकहाँ गएर तिनको खुट्टातिरको ओढ्ने उठाएर त्यहाँ सुत्न सक्छौ । अनि तिमीले के गर्नुपर्छ त्यो तिनले बताउनेछन् ।”
5 “I will do everything you say,” Ruth answered.
रूथले नाओमीलाई भनिन्, “तपाईंले भन्नुभएका सबै कुरा म गर्छु ।”
6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had instructed her to do.
त्यसैले तिनी तल खलामा गइन् र तिनले तिनकी सासूले तिनलाई दिएका निर्देशनहरूअनुसार गरिन् ।
7 After Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then Ruth went in secretly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
जब बोअजले खाए र पिए, तिनको हृदय खुसी भयो, तिनी अन्नको थुप्रोको छेउमा गएर सुते । त्यसपछि तिनी बिस्तारै आइन् र तिनको खुट्टाको ओढ्ने उठाएर सुतिन् ।
8 At midnight, Boaz was startled, turned over, and there lying at his feet was a woman!
मध्यराततिर ती मानिस झसङ्ग भए । तिनी फर्के र त्यहाँ एउटी महिला तिनको खुट्टा छेउमा सुतिरहेकी थिइन् ।
9 “Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she replied. “Spread the corner of your garment over me, for you are a kinsman-redeemer.”
तिनले भने, “तिमी को हौ?” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “म तपाईंकी दासी रूथ हुँ । तपाईंकी दासीलाई तपाईंको खास्टो लगाइदिनुहोस्, किनकि तपाईं नजिकको कुटुम्ब हुनुहुन्छ ।”
10 Then Boaz said, “May the LORD bless you, my daughter. You have shown more kindness now than before, because you have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor.
बोअजले भने, “मेरी छोरी, तिमी परमप्रभुद्धारा आशिषित होऊ । तिमीले सुरुभन्दा अन्तमा अझ धैरै दया देखाएकी छ्यौ, किनभने तिमी धनी होस् वा गरीब कुनै पनि जवान मानिसको पछि लागेकी छैनौ ।
11 And now do not be afraid, my daughter. I will do for you whatever you request, since all my fellow townspeople know that you are a woman of noble character.
मेरी छोरी, नडराऊ! मैले तिम्रो निम्ति तिमीले भनेकी सबै कुरा गर्छु, किनभने तिमी लायककी छ्यौ भन्ने सारा शहरका मानिसहरूले जान्दछन् ।
12 Yes, it is true that I am a kinsman-redeemer, but there is a redeemer nearer than I.
म कुटम्ब हुँ भन्ने कुरा सत्य हो, तर मभन्दा नजिकका एक जना कुटुम्ब हुनुहुन्छ ।
13 Stay here tonight, and in the morning, if he wants to redeem you, good. Let him redeem you. But if he does not want to redeem you, as surely as the LORD lives, I will. Now lie here until morning.”
आज राति यहीँ बस, बिहान यदि तिनले कुटम्बको कर्तव्य पुरा गर्छन् भने ठिकै छ, तिनले नै कुटुम्बको कर्तव्य पुरा गरून् । तर यदि तिनले तिम्रो निम्ति एउटा कुटुम्बको कर्तव्य पुरा गरेनन् भने त्यसपछि मैले यो गर्नेछु भनी म परमप्रभुको जीवनद्धारा शपथ खान्छु । बिहानसम्म सुत ।
14 So she lay down at his feet until morning, but she got up before anyone else could recognize her. Then Boaz said, “Do not let it be known that a woman came to the threshing floor.”
तिनी बिहानसम्म नै तिनको खुट्टाको छेउमा सुतिरहिन् । तर तिनी एउटाले अर्को मानिसलाई चिन्न सक्ने हुनेअगि नै उठिन् । किनभने बोअजले भने, “कुनै महिला खलामा आइन् भनी कसैले थाहा नपाओस् ।”
15 And he told her, “Bring the shawl you are wearing and hold it out.” When she did so, he shoveled six measures of barley into her shawl. Then he went into the city.
त्यसपछि बोअजले भने, “तिम्रो ओढ्ने लेऊ र त्यसमा थाप ।” जब तिनले ओड्ने थापिन्, तिनले छ पाथी जति जौ नापेर दिए र तिनलाई बोकाइदिए । त्यसपछि तिनी शहरतिर गइन् ।
16 When Ruth returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked her, “How did it go, my daughter?” Then Ruth told her all that Boaz had done for her.
जब रूथ तिनको सासूकहाँ आइन्, तिनले भनिन्, “कस्तो भयो मेरी छोरी?” अनि रूथले त्यो मानिसले भनेका सबै कुरा तिनलाई बताइन् ।
17 And she said, “He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said, ‘Do not go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
तिनले भनिन्, “तिनले मलाई यी छ पाथी जौ दिए, किनभने तिनले भने, 'तिम्री सासूकहाँ रित्तो हात नजाऊ' ।”
18 “Wait, my daughter,” said Naomi, “until you find out how things go, for he will not rest unless he has resolved the matter today.”
अनि नाओमीले भनिन्, “मेरी छोरी, कुरा के हुन्छ भनी तिमीले नजानेसम्म यहीँ बस, किनभने यो कुरा आज नै नसिध्याएसम्म ती मानिसले विश्राम गर्नेछैनन् ।”
