Ruth 2
1 And Naomi has an acquaintance of her husband’s, a man mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name [is] Boaz.
Di Betlehem ada seorang yang kaya dan berpengaruh, namanya adalah Boas. Dia memiliki hubungan keluarga dengan Elimelek, suami Naomi.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess says to Naomi, “Please let me go into the field, and I gather among the ears of grain after him in whose eyes I find grace”; and she says to her, “Go, my daughter.”
Pada suatu hari, Rut— perempuan Moab itu, berkata kepada Naomi, “Ibu, karena sekarang sedang musim panen, bolehkah aku pergi ke salah satu ladang untuk meminta izin memungut bulir-bulir jelai yang tercecer dan diperbolehkan pemilik ladang untuk diambil? Kemungkinan besar ada seseorang yang berbaik hati yang akan mengizinkan aku untuk memungut jelai.” Jawab Naomi, “Baik, pergilah anakku.”
3 And she goes and comes and gathers in a field after the reapers, and her chance happens—the portion of the field is Boaz’s who [is] of the family of Elimelech.
Lalu Ruth pergi memungut bulir-bulir jelai yang tercecer dari ikatan jelai. Dengan tidak sengaja, ternyata Rut sedang bekerja pada ladang milik Boas— anggota keluarga Elimelek tersebut.
4 And behold, Boaz has come from Beth-Lehem, and says to the reapers, “YHWH [is] with you”; and they say to him, “YHWH blesses you.”
Saat Rut sedang berada di ladang, tibalah Boas dari Betlehem dan menyapa orang-orang yang sedang memanen di ladangnya, katanya, “TUHAN menyertai kalian!” Lalu mereka membalas, “TUHAN menyertaimu juga!”
5 And Boaz says to his young man who is set over the reapers, “Whose [is] this young person?”
Kemudian bertanyalah Boas kepada mandor yang mengawasi orang-orang tersebut, “Siapakah perempuan muda di sana dan siapakah keluarganya?”
6 And the young man who is set over the reapers answers and says, “A young woman—Moabitess—she [is], who came back with Naomi from the fields of Moab,
Mandor itu menjawab, “Dialah perempuan muda asal Moab yang kembali dengan Naomi.
7 and she says, Please let me glean and I have gathered among the sheaves after the reapers; and she comes and remains since the morning and until now; she sat in the house a little [while].”
Tadi pagi dia minta izin untuk mengumpulkan bulir-bulir jelai yang tercecer dari ikatan jelai. Dia datang sangat pagi, bekerja keras, dan hanya beristirahat sejenak di pondok.”
8 And Boaz says to Ruth, “Have you not heard, my daughter? Do not go to glean in another field, and also, do not pass over from here, and thus you cleave to my young women:
Boas menghampiri Rut dan berkata, “Dengarlah anakku. Tetaplah di sini bersama kami untuk memungut bulir jelai. Tidak perlu kamu bekerja di ladang milik orang lain. Tetaplah berada dekat pekerja perempuan yang bekerja di ladangku.
9 your eyes [are] on the field which they reap, and you have gone after them; have I not charged the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty then you have gone to the vessels, and have drunk from that which the young men draw.”
Perhatikan bagian mana yang sedang mereka kerjakan, lalu ikutilah mereka. Aku sudah memperingatkan para pekerja laki-laki supaya tidak mengganggu kamu. Karena itu bila kamu haus, silakan ambil air minum di tempat penyimpanan yang sudah mereka isi.”
10 And she falls on her face, and bows herself to the earth, and says to him, “Why have I found grace in your eyes, to discern me, and I a stranger?”
Bersujudlah Rut di hadapan Boas sambil berkata, “Saya tidak layak untuk menerima semua kebaikan dan belas kasihan Tuan. Saya hanyalah orang asing.”
11 And Boaz answers and says to her, “It has been thoroughly declared to me all that you have done with your mother-in-law, after the death of your husband, and you leave your father, and your mother, and the land of your birth, and come to a people which you have not known before.
Jawab Boas, “Anakku, aku sudah mengetahui semua yang sudah kamu perbuat untuk ibu mertuamu sejak kematian suamimu. Bahkan kamu meninggalkan kedua orangtuamu dan tanah kelahiranmu untuk menetap di sini sebagai orang asing.
12 YHWH repays your work, and your reward is complete from YHWH, God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Karena kemurahan hatimu itu, kiranya TUHAN membalas segala kerja kerasmu. Semoga TUHAN Allah Israel memberkatimu, karena kamu sudah datang berlindung kepada-Nya.”
13 And she says, “Let me find grace in your eyes, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken to the heart of your maidservant, and I am not as one of your maidservants.”
Jawab Rut, “Saya berharap tetap menyenangkan hati Tuan! Walaupun saya bukan salah seorang pekerja di sini, Tuan sudah membesarkan hati saya dengan menunjukkan belas kasihan.”
14 And Boaz says to her, “At meal-time come near here, and you have eaten of the bread, and dipped your morsel in the vinegar.” And she sits at the side of the reapers, and he reaches to her roasted grain, and she eats, and is satisfied, and leaves.
Pada waktu makan siang, Boas memanggil Rut, “Kemarilah! Silakan ambil sendiri makanan ini. Dan kamu dapat celupkan rotimu ke dalam saus ini.” Maka duduklah Rut dengan para pekerja dan Boas memberikan kepadanya jelai yang sudah dipanggang. Rut makan sampai kenyang, dan masih ada kelebihan makanan.
15 And she rises to glean, and Boaz charges his young men, saying, “Even between the sheaves she gleans, and you do not cause her to blush;
Saat Rut mulai bekerja lagi, Boas memerintahkan para pekerjanya, “Biarkanlah dia memungut bulir-bulir jelai dari antara tumpukan jelai yang sudah terikat itu.
16 and also you surely cast to her of the handfuls—and have left, and she has gleaned, and you do not push against her.”
Bahkan bantulah dia dengan sengaja menjatuhkan bulir-bulir supaya dengan mudah dia dapat mengambilnya. Janganlah melarang ataupun menghentikannya!”
17 And she gleans in the field until the evening, and beats out that which she has gleaned, and it is about an ephah of barley;
Rut bekerja sepanjang hari mengumpulkan jelai, dan ketika mengirik hasil jelai itu, dia mendapatkan satu keranjang penuh— kurang lebih dua puluh dua liter.
18 and she takes [it] up, and goes into the city, and her mother-in-law sees that which she has gleaned, and she brings out and gives to her that which she left from her satiety.
Dia membawa pulang hasil irikan jelai dan memperlihatkan hasilnya kepada ibu mertuanya. Rut juga memberikan jelai panggang kelebihan dari makan siangnya.
19 And her mother-in-law says to her, “Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? May he who is discerning you be blessed.” And she declares to her mother-in-law with whom she has worked, and says, “The name of the man with whom I have worked today [is] Boaz.”
“Dari mana saja kamu mengumpulkan jelai sebanyak ini?” tanya Naomi. “Kamu bekerja di mana? Kiranya Tuhan memberkati dia yang memperhatikan kamu!” Rut kemudian menceritakan apa yang dia alami, mengenai pemilik ladang di mana dia bekerja. Dia berkata kepada ibu mertuanya, “Pemilik ladang di mana aku bekerja seharian adalah Boas.”
20 And Naomi says to her daughter-in-law, “Blessed [is] he of YHWH who has not forsaken His kindness with the living and with the dead”; and Naomi says to her, “The man is a relation of ours; he [is] of our redeemers.”
Dan Naomi berkata kepada Rut, “Kiranya TUHAN memberkati Boas! Karena ternyata Boas tetap setia kepada kita yang hidup, dan juga terhadap suami kita yang sudah meninggal. Dia adalah salah satu kerabat dekat— salah satu penanggung jawab keluarga kita.”
21 And Ruth the Moabitess says, “Also he surely said to me, Near the young people whom I have you cleave until they have completed the whole of the harvest which I have.”
Lalu Rut berkata, “Boas juga berkata supaya aku kembali untuk bekerja dengan para pekerjanya selama musim panen.”
22 And Naomi says to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “Good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and they do not come against you in another field.”
“Baiklah!” kata Naomi. “Lakukanlah apa yang sudah dia katakan, anakku. Bekerjalah dengan pekerja perempuan Boas selama musim panen. Kamu bisa saja diganggu orang bila kamu bekerja pada ladang milik orang lain.”
23 And she cleaves to the young women of Boaz to glean, until the completion of the barley-harvest, and of the wheat-harvest, and she dwells with her mother-in-law.
Demikianlah, Rut tetap bekerja dengan para pekerja perempuan di ladang milik Boas sampai musim panen jelai berakhir. Sesudah musim jelai berakhir, Rut melanjutkan pekerjaannya dengan para pekerja Boas untuk mengumpulkan bulir gandum yang tercecer selama musim panen gandum. Dan dia tetap tinggal bersama ibu mertuanya.
