Rut 2
1 Naomi mempunyai seorang anggota keluarga dari pihak mendiang suaminya, Elimelekh. Orang itu kaya dan terpandang. Namanya Boas.
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
2 Pada suatu hari kata Rut kepada Naomi, "Ibu, saya permisi mau ke ladang untuk memungut gandum yang mungkin terjatuh dari tangan para penuai. Saya rasa tentu ada saja orang yang akan membiarkan saya melakukan hal itu." "Baik, nak!" jawab Naomi, "pergilah!"
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
3 Maka pergilah Rut ke ladang dan memungut gandum mengikuti para penuai. Kebetulan ia pergi ke ladang milik Boas.
And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And her chance was to land on the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 Tidak lama kemudian Boas datang dari Betlehem dan memberi salam kepada para penuai. "Semoga TUHAN menyertai kalian," katanya. Para penuai menjawab, "Semoga TUHAN memberkati Bapak."
And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, Jehovah be with you. And they answered him, Jehovah bless thee.
5 Lalu Boas bertanya kepada mandurnya, "Siapa wanita itu?"
Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
6 Mandur itu menjawab, "Dia wanita bangsa Moab yang baru datang bersama Naomi dari negeri Moab.
And the servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabite damsel who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
7 Ia minta izin dari saya supaya diperbolehkan ikut di belakang para penuai untuk memungut gandum yang tercecer. Sejak pagi ia bekerja terus, dan sekarang baru saja berhenti untuk beristirahat sebentar di pondok."
And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather behind the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she tarried a little in the house.
8 Lalu Boas berkata kepada Rut, "Coba dengar dahulu. Tidak usah engkau pergi memungut gandum di ladang orang lain. Pungut saja di sini bersama para pekerja saya yang wanita. Perhatikanlah ke mana mereka pergi menuai. Ikutilah mereka selalu dan jangan jauh dari mereka. Kalau engkau haus, ambil saja air dari tempayan-tempayan yang sudah diisi oleh para pekerja laki-laki. Saya sudah memerintahkan supaya mereka jangan mengganggu engkau."
Then Boaz said to Ruth, Do thou not hear, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from here, but abide here close by my maidens.
Let thine eyes be on the field that they reap, and go thou after them. Have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? And when thou are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
10 Mendengar itu, Rut sujud di hadapan Boas dan berkata, "Pak, saya tidak layak menerima perlakuan yang begitu baik dari Bapak. Saya ini orang asing dan tidak seharusnya mendapat perhatian Bapak!"
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favor in thy sight that thou should take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreigner?
11 Boas menjawab, "Saya sudah mendengar tentang segala sesuatu yang kaulakukan terhadap ibu mertuamu sejak suamimu meninggal. Saya tahu bahwa engkau telah meninggalkan orang tuamu dan tanah airmu untuk datang dan tinggal di sini bersama orang-orang yang belum kaukenal.
And Boaz answered and said to her, It has been fully shown me all that thou have done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband, and how thou have left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and have come to a people that thou knew not formerly.
12 Semoga TUHAN membalas segala kebaikanmu. Semoga kau menerima apa yang patut diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allah Israel, karena engkau telah datang untuk berlindung kepada-Nya!"
Jehovah recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou have come to take refuge.
13 Rut menjawab, "Bapak sungguh baik kepada saya, meskipun saya tidak sama dengan pekerja Bapak. Keramahan Bapak sangat menghibur hati saya."
Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord, because thou have comforted me, and because thou have spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I be not as one of thy handmaidens.
14 Ketika sudah waktunya untuk makan, Boas berkata kepada Rut, "Marilah makan. Ini sausnya." Maka Rut pun makan bersama dengan para penuai. Boas juga memberikan gandum panggang kepadanya, dan Rut makan sampai kenyang. Setelah makan, ada pula sisanya.
And at mealtime Boaz said to her, Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left of it.
15 Kemudian Rut pergi lagi memungut gandum. Setelah ia pergi, Boas berkata kepada para penuainya, "Kalau dia memungut gandum di antara yang sudah diikat, biarkan saja. Jangan membuat dia malu atau memarahi dia. Baiklah kalian sengaja mencabut sedikit-sedikit dari yang sudah diikat-ikat itu, dan menjatuhkannya untuk dia supaya dia memungutnya."
And when she arose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.
And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her.
17 Rut terus saja memungut gandum di ladang sampai sore. Setelah ia memukul-mukul batang-batang gandum itu untuk melepaskan biji-bijinya dari batangnya, ternyata ia telah mengumpulkan kira-kira sepuluh kilogram.
So she gleaned in the field until evening. And she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 Kemudian ia pulang ke kota dengan membawa hasil pungutannya itu dan menunjukkan kepada ibu mertuanya berapa banyak yang telah dipungutnya. Dan ia juga memberikan kepada ibu mertuanya itu makanan yang tak dapat dihabiskannya pada waktu makan.
And she took it up, and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was satisfied.
19 Maka berkatalah Naomi kepadanya, "Di mana kau mendapat semuanya ini? Di ladang siapa kau bekerja hari ini? Semoga Allah memberkati orang yang berbuat baik kepadamu itu!" Maka Rut menceritakan kepada Naomi bahwa ladang tempat ia memungut gandum itu adalah milik seorang laki-laki bernama Boas.
And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have thou gleaned today? And where have thou worked? Blessed be he who took knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz.
20 "Nak, orang itu keluarga dekat kita sendiri," kata Naomi. "Dialah yang harus bertanggung jawab atas kita. Semoga TUHAN memberkati dia. TUHAN selalu menepati janji-Nya, baik kepada orang yang masih hidup maupun kepada mereka yang sudah meninggal."
And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of our near kinsmen.
21 Kemudian Rut berkata lagi, "Bu, orang itu mengatakan juga bahwa saya boleh terus memungut gandum bersama para pekerjanya sampai hasil seluruh ladangnya selesai dituai."
And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yes, he said to me, Thou shall keep close by my young men until they have ended all my harvest.
22 "Ya, nak," jawab Naomi kepada Rut, "memang lebih baik kau bekerja bersama para pekerja wanita di ladang Boas. Sebab, kalau kau pergi ke ladang orang lain, kau bisa diganggu orang di sana!"
And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they not meet thee in any other field.
23 Oleh sebab itu, Rut tetap mengikuti para pekerja wanita di ladang Boas. Ia memungut gandum di sana sampai seluruh panen selesai dituai--baik panen pertama maupun panen terakhir. Dan selama itu Rut tinggal dengan ibu mertuanya.
So she kept close by the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest. And she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
