< Rut 2 >
1 Naomi mempunyai seorang anggota keluarga dari pihak mendiang suaminya, Elimelekh. Orang itu kaya dan terpandang. Namanya Boas.
And Naomi has an acquaintance of her husband’s, a man mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name [is] 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 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.”
3 Maka pergilah Rut ke ladang dan memungut gandum mengikuti para penuai. Kebetulan ia pergi ke ladang milik Boas.
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.
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 has come from Beth-Lehem, and says to the reapers, “YHWH [is] with you”; and they say to him, “YHWH blesses you.”
5 Lalu Boas bertanya kepada mandurnya, "Siapa wanita itu?"
And Boaz says to his young man who is set over the reapers, “Whose [is] this young person?”
6 Mandur itu menjawab, "Dia wanita bangsa Moab yang baru datang bersama Naomi dari negeri Moab.
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,
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 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].”
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."
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:
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.”
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!"
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?”
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 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.
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!"
YHWH repays your work, and your reward is complete from YHWH, God of Israel, under whose wings you 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."
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.”
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 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.
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 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;
and also you surely cast to her of the handfuls—and have left, and she has gleaned, and you do not push against 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.
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;
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.”
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.
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.
