Ruth 2
1 There was a man in Bethlehem who belonged to the clan of [Naomi’s dead husband], Elimelech. He was rich and well-known/influential. His name was Boaz.
Naomi itu mempunyai seorang sanak dari pihak suaminya, seorang yang kaya raya dari kaum Elimelekh, namanya Boas.
2 [One day] Ruth said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the grain left behind by the workers.” Naomi replied, “Go ahead, my 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 So Ruth went to the fields and began to pick up some of the left-over grain. And it happened that she was working in a field that belonged to Boaz, [the man] from the clan of [her dead father-in-law], 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 Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem. He greeted the men who were harvesting the grain, saying, “I want Yahweh to bless you!” They replied, “We want Yahweh to bless you, [too]!”
Lalu datanglah Boas dari Betlehem. Ia berkata kepada penyabit-penyabit itu: "TUHAN kiranya menyertai kamu." Jawab mereka kepadanya: "TUHAN kiranya memberkati tuan!"
5 Then Boaz saw Ruth, and asked the (foreman/man in charge of the other workmen), “Whose [daughter] is that young woman?”
Lalu kata Boas kepada bujangnya yang mengawasi penyabit-penyabit itu: "Dari manakah perempuan ini?"
6 The foreman replied, “She is the woman from Moab who returned from there with [her mother-in-law] Naomi.
Bujang yang mengawasi penyabit-penyabit itu menjawab: "Dia adalah seorang perempuan Moab, dia pulang bersama-sama dengan Naomi dari daerah Moab.
7 She said to me, ‘Please let me walk behind the men who are harvesting the grain and pick up some of the grain they leave behind.’ [I gave her permission, and] she went into the field, and she has been working from this morning until now. The only time she did not work was when she rested for a short time in the shelter.”
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 So Boaz went over to Ruth and said to her, “Young lady, listen to me. Don’t go and pick up grain in another field. Do not go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.
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 Watch where the men are harvesting, and follow along behind the [servant] girls. I will tell the men [who are working] not to touch/molest you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get some water to drink from the jars that the men have filled.”
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 When he said that, she knelt down in front of him [in respect], with her face touching the ground. She exclaimed, “Why are you acting so kindly toward me, by paying attention to me? [I am not even a Jew; I am] a foreigner!”
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 Boaz replied, “People have told me all about what you have done for your mother-in-law. They told me that you left your parents and your homeland, and you came here to live among people whom you did not know 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 I hope/desire that Yahweh will repay you for what you have done. You have put yourself in the care of Yahweh, [like a little bird puts itself] under [its mother’s] wings [MET]. I desire that he will reward you very greatly.”
TUHAN kiranya membalas perbuatanmu itu, dan kepadamu kiranya dikaruniakan upahmu sepenuhnya oleh TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang di bawah sayap-Nya engkau datang berlindung."
13 She replied, “Sir, I hope you will continue to act kindly toward me. You have comforted/encouraged me, even though I am lower in status than any of your servant girls.”
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 At mealtime, Boaz said to her, “Come over here. Take some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar [and eat it].” Then when she sat down with the men who had been harvesting, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all the grain she wanted, and had some left over.
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 As she stood up to start gathering grain [again], Boaz ordered his workers, “Even if she gathers some grain near the bundles of grain that have been cut, do not scold her.
Setelah ia bangun untuk memungut pula, maka Boas memerintahkan kepada pengerja-pengerjanya: "Dari antara berkas-berkas itupun ia boleh memungut, janganlah ia diganggu;
16 Instead, pull out some stalks of grain from the bundles, and leave them on the ground for her to pick up, and do not rebuke her.”
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 Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. Then she (threshed/beat with a stick) the barley that she had gathered, [to separate the kernels from the stalks], and the barley filled a large basket.
Maka ia memungut di ladang sampai petang; lalu ia mengirik yang dipungutnya itu, dan ada kira-kira seefa jelai banyaknya.
18 She carried it back to town, and showed to her mother-in-law how much she had gathered. Ruth also showed to her the grain [that was left over after] she had eaten enough from [what Boaz had given her at lunchtime].
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 Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you gather grain today? In whose [field] did you work? [God will] surely bless the man who was kind to you.” Then Ruth told her about the man in whose field she had been working. She said, “The name of the man [who owns the field] where I worked today is Boaz.”
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 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will bless him! He has not stopped acting kindly toward [us, who are still] living, and to [our husbands] who have died.” Then she added, “That man is a close relative [of Elimelech]; he is one of those who has a responsibility to help those who are his relatives.”
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 Then Ruth said, “He also said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they have finished harvesting all my grain.’”
Lalu kata Rut, perempuan Moab itu: "Lagipula ia berkata kepadaku: Tetaplah dekat pengerja-pengerjaku sampai mereka menyelesaikan seluruh penyabitan ladangku."
22 Naomi replied, “My daughter, it will be good for you to go [to his field] with his [servant] girls, because if you go to someone else’s field, someone might harm/molest you.”
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 So Ruth stayed close to Boaz’s [servant] girls [while she was working]. She gathered stalks of grain until the barley harvest and the wheat harvest were finished. During that time she lived with Naomi.
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.
