< Ruth 2 >

1 And Noemin had [a friend] an acquaintance of her husband, and the man [was] a mighty man of the kindred of Elimelech, and his name [was] Booz.
Naomi itu mempunyai seorang sanak dari pihak suaminya, seorang yang kaya raya dari kaum Elimelekh, namanya Boas.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Noemin, Let me go now to the field, and I will glean among the ears behind the man with whoever I shall find favor: and she said to her, Go, daughter.
Maka Rut, perempuan Moab itu, berkata kepada Naomi: "Biarkanlah aku pergi ke ladang memungut bulir-bulir jelai di belakang orang yang murah hati kepadaku." Dan sahut Naomi kepadanya: "Pergilah, anakku."
3 And she went; and came and gleaned in the field behind the reapers; and she happened by chance to come on a portion of the land of Booz, of the kindred of Elimelech.
Pergilah ia, lalu sampai di ladang dan memungut jelai di belakang penyabit-penyabit; kebetulan ia berada di tanah milik Boas, yang berasal dari kaum Elimelekh.
4 And, behold, Booz came from Bethleem, and said to the reapers, The Lord [be] with you: and they said to him, The Lord bless you.
Lalu datanglah Boas dari Betlehem. Ia berkata kepada penyabit-penyabit itu: "TUHAN kiranya menyertai kamu." Jawab mereka kepadanya: "TUHAN kiranya memberkati tuan!"
5 And Booz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose [is] this damsel?
Lalu kata Boas kepada bujangnya yang mengawasi penyabit-penyabit itu: "Dari manakah perempuan ini?"
6 And his servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel who returned with Noemin out of the land of Moab.
Bujang yang mengawasi penyabit-penyabit itu menjawab: "Dia adalah seorang perempuan Moab, dia pulang bersama-sama dengan Naomi dari daerah Moab.
7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers: and she came and stood from morning till evening, and rested not [even] a little in the field.
Tadi ia berkata: Izinkanlah kiranya aku memungut dan mengumpulkan jelai dari antara berkas-berkas jelai ini di belakang penyabit-penyabit. Begitulah ia datang dan terus sibuk dari pagi sampai sekarang dan seketikapun ia tidak berhenti."
8 And Booz said to Ruth, Hast you not heard, [my] daughter? go not to glean in another field; and depart not you hence, join yourself here with my damsels.
Sesudah itu berkatalah Boas kepada Rut: "Dengarlah dahulu, anakku! Tidak usah engkau pergi memungut jelai ke ladang lain dan tidak usah juga engkau pergi dari sini, tetapi tetaplah dekat pengerja-pengerja perempuan.
9 [Let] your eyes [be] on the field where [my men] shall reap, and you shall go after them: behold, I have charged the young men not to touch you: and when you shall thirst, then you shall go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men shall have drawn.
Lihat saja ke ladang yang sedang disabit orang itu. Ikutilah perempuan-perempuan itu dari belakang. Sebab aku telah memesankan kepada pengerja-pengerja lelaki jangan mengganggu engkau. Jika engkau haus, pergilah ke tempayan-tempayan dan minumlah air yang dicedok oleh pengerja-pengerja itu."
10 And she fell upon her face, and did reverence to the ground, and said to him, How is it that I have found grace in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, whereas I am a stranger?
Lalu sujudlah Rut menyembah dengan mukanya sampai ke tanah dan berkata kepadanya: "Mengapakah aku mendapat belas kasihan dari padamu, sehingga tuan memperhatikan aku, padahal aku ini seorang asing?"
11 And Booz answered and said to her, It has fully been told me how you have dealt with your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; and how you did leave your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and came to a people whom you knew not before.
Boas menjawab: "Telah dikabarkan orang kepadaku dengan lengkap segala sesuatu yang engkau lakukan kepada mertuamu sesudah suamimu mati, dan bagaimana engkau meninggalkan ibu bapamu dan tanah kelahiranmu serta pergi kepada suatu bangsa yang dahulu tidak engkau kenal.
12 The Lord recompense your work; may a full reward be given you of the Lord God of Israel, to whom you have come to trust under his wings.
TUHAN kiranya membalas perbuatanmu itu, dan kepadamu kiranya dikaruniakan upahmu sepenuhnya oleh TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang di bawah sayap-Nya engkau datang berlindung."
13 And she said, Let me find grace in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, and behold, I shall be as one of your servants.
Kemudian berkatalah Rut: "Memang aku mendapat belas kasihan dari padamu, ya tuanku, sebab tuan telah menghiburkan aku dan telah menenangkan hati hambamu ini, walaupun aku tidak sama seperti salah seorang hamba-hambamu perempuan."
14 And Booz said to her, Now [it is] time to eat; come here, and you shall eat of the bread, and you shall dip your morsel in the vinegar: and Ruth sat by the side of the reapers: and Booz handed her meal, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.
Ketika sudah waktu makan, berkatalah Boas kepadanya: "Datanglah ke mari, makanlah roti ini dan celupkanlah suapmu ke dalam cuka ini." Lalu duduklah ia di sisi penyabit-penyabit itu, dan Boas mengunjukkan bertih gandum kepadanya; makanlah Rut sampai kenyang, bahkan ada sisanya.
15 And she rose up to glean; and Booz charged his young men, saying, Let her even glean among the sheaves, and reproach her not.
Setelah ia bangun untuk memungut pula, maka Boas memerintahkan kepada pengerja-pengerjanya: "Dari antara berkas-berkas itupun ia boleh memungut, janganlah ia diganggu;
16 And do you by all means carry it for her, and you shall surely let fall for her some of that which is heaped up; and let her eat, and glean, and rebuke her not.
bahkan haruslah kamu dengan sengaja menarik sedikit-sedikit dari onggokan jelai itu untuk dia dan meninggalkannya, supaya dipungutnya; janganlah berlaku kasar terhadap dia."
17 So she gleaned in the field till evening, and beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barely.
Maka ia memungut di ladang sampai petang; lalu ia mengirik yang dipungutnya itu, dan ada kira-kira seefa jelai banyaknya.
18 And she took [it] up, and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and Ruth brought forth and gave to her the food which she had left from what she had been satisfied with.
Diangkatnyalah itu, lalu masuklah ia ke kota. Ketika mertuanya melihat apa yang dipungutnya itu, dan ketika dikeluarkannya dan diberikannya kepada mertuanya sisa yang ada setelah kenyang itu,
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today, and where have you wrought? blessed be he that took notice of you. And Ruth told her mother-in-law where she [had] wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought today [is] Booz.
maka berkatalah mertuanya kepadanya: "Di mana engkau memungut dan di mana engkau bekerja hari ini? Diberkatilah kiranya orang yang telah memperhatikan engkau itu!" Lalu diceritakannyalah kepada mertuanya itu pada siapa ia bekerja, katanya: "Nama orang pada siapa aku bekerja hari ini ialah Boas."
20 And Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed is he of the Lord, because he has not failed in his mercy with the living and with the dead: and Noemin said to her, The man is near akin to us, he is one of our relations.
Sesudah itu berkatalah Naomi kepada menantunya: "Diberkatilah kiranya orang itu oleh TUHAN yang rela mengaruniakan kasih setia-Nya kepada orang-orang yang hidup dan yang mati." Lagi kata Naomi kepadanya: "Orang itu kaum kerabat kita, dialah salah seorang yang wajib menebus kita."
21 And Ruth said to her mother-in-law, Yes, he said also to me, Keep close to my damsels, until the men shall have finished all my reaping.
Lalu kata Rut, perempuan Moab itu: "Lagipula ia berkata kepadaku: Tetaplah dekat pengerja-pengerjaku sampai mereka menyelesaikan seluruh penyabitan ladangku."
22 And Noemin said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, [It is] well, daughter, that you went out with his damsels; thus they shall not meet you in another field.
Lalu berkatalah Naomi kepada Rut, menantunya itu: "Ya anakku, sebaiknya engkau keluar bersama-sama dengan pengerja-pengerjanya perempuan, supaya engkau jangan disusahi orang di ladang lain."
23 And Ruth joined herself to the damsels of Booz to glean until they had finished the barley harvest and the wheat harvest.
Demikianlah Rut tetap dekat pada pengerja-pengerja perempuan Boas untuk memungut, sampai musim menuai jelai dan musim menuai gandum telah berakhir. Dan selama itu ia tinggal pada mertuanya.
