< रूथ 2 >

1 नाओमीका पतिका नातेदार अर्थात् एलीमेलेकका कुलका बोअज नाउँ गरेको एक जना हुने-खाने मानिस थिए ।
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.
2 मोआबी महिला रूथले नाओमीलाई भनिन्, “खेतहरूका अन्‍नका बालाहरूमाझ रहेका शिला-बाला खोज्न मलाई जान दिनुहोस् । मैले जसको दृष्‍टिमा कृपा पाउँछु, म तिनलाई नै पछ्याउनेछु ।” त्यसैले नाओमीले तिनलाई भनिन्, “जाऊ, मेरी छोरी ।”
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.
3 रूथ गइन् र तिनीहरूले कटनी गरेपछि रहेका अन्‍नहरूको शिला-बाला खोजिन् । तिनी एलिमेलेकका कुलका बोअजको खेतका खण्डमा आइपुगिन् ।
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.
4 बोअज बेथलेहेमबाट आएर कटनी गर्नेहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसँग हुनुभएको होस् ।” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको होस् ।”
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.
5 त्यसपछि बोअजले कटनी गर्नेहरूको निरक्षण गर्ने तिनका नोकरलाई भने, “यो महिला कुन पुरुषकी हुन्?”
And Booz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose [is] this damsel?
6 कटनी गर्नेहरूको निरीक्षण गर्ने नोकरले जवाफ दिएर भने, “यी जवान महिला मोआबको मुलकबाट नाओमीसँग फर्केर आएकी महिला हुन् ।
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.
7 तिनले मलाई भनिन्, “कृपया, कामदारहरूले अन्‍न कटनी गरेपछि खेतमा बाँकी रहेकाहरूको शिला-बाला खोज्‍न मलाई दिनुहोस् ।' त्यसैले तिनी यहाँ आइन् र तिनले घरमा थोरै विश्राम गरेबाहेक, बिहानदेखि अहिलेसम्म निरन्तर लागिरहेकी छिन् ।”
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.
8 बोअजले रूथलाई भने, “मेरी छोरी, तिमीले मेरो कुरा सुन्दैछौ? शिला-बाला जम्मा गर्न अरुको खेतहरूमा नजाऊ; मेरो खेत नछोड । बरु, यहाँ नै बस र मेरा महिला कामदारहरूसँगै काम गर ।
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.
9 मानिसहरूले कटनी गरेको ठाउँमा हेरिराख र अरु महिलाहरूलाई पछ्याऊ । के मैले पुरुषहरूलाई तिमीलाई नछुनू भनी निर्देशन् दिएको छैन र? तिमीलाई तिर्खा लागेको बेला घैलाहरू भएको ठाउँमा जाऊ र मानिसहरूले भरेर ल्याएका पानी पिऊ ।”
[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.
10 तब तिनी बोअजको सामु झुकिन् र घोप्टो परेर दण्डवत गरिन् । तिनले उनलाई भनिन्, “म विदेशीप्रति तपाईं चिन्तित हुने गरी तपाईंको नजरमा मैले किन कृपा पाएकी छु?”
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?
11 बोअजले जवाफ दिए र तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रा पतिको मृत्युदेखि तिमीले गरेका सबै कुरा मलाई भनिएको छ । आफ्नो सासूलाई पछ्याउन र तिमीले नचिनको मानिसहरूकहाँ आउन तिमीले आफ्ना बुबा-आमा र आफ्‍नो जन्म थलो छोडेकी छ्यौ ।
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.
12 परमप्रभुले तिम्रो कामको ईनाम दिनुभएको होस् । तिमीले जसको पखेटामुनि शरण पाएकी छ्यौ उही परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरबाट पुरा भुक्‍तानी पाउन सक ।”
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.
13 तिनले भनिन्, “मेरा मालिक, तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा मैले कृपा पाउन सकूँ, किनभने म तपाईंका नोकर्नीहरूमध्येकी नभए तापनि तपाईंले मलाई सान्त्वना दिनुभएको छ र तपाईंले मसँग दयापूर्वक कुरा गर्नुभएको छ ।”
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.
14 खाने बेलामा बोअजले रूथलाई भने, “यहाँ आऊ, र केही रोटी खाऊ र तिम्रो रोटीको टुक्रा सिर्कामा चोप ।” तिनी कटनी गर्नेहरूको छेउमा बसिन् र तिनले तिनलाई केही भुटेको अन्‍न दिए । तिनले अघाइन्ञ्‍जेलसम्म खाइन् र केही उबारिन् ।
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.
15 तिनी अन्‍न बटुल्न उठ्दा, बोअजले तिनका जवान मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्‍दै आज्ञा दिए, “तिनलाई बिटाहरूको बिचतिर पनि अन्‍न बटुल्न देऊ र तिनलाई नबटुल नभन् ।
And she rose up to glean; and Booz charged his young men, saying, Let her even glean among the sheaves, and reproach her not.
16 साथै बिटाहरूबाट तिनको निम्ति केही अन्‍नका बालाहरू थुतेर निकाल, र तिनलाई बटुल्‍नको निम्ति तिनीहरूलाई छोडिदेऊ अनि तिनलाई नहप्काऊ ।”
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.
17 त्यसैले तिनले खेतमा साँझसम्म शिला-बाला बटुलिन् । तिनले बटुलेकी अन्‍नका बालाहरू कुटिन् र अन्‍न झण्डै पाँच पाथी जति भयो ।
So she gleaned in the field till evening, and beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barely.
18 तिनले यसलाई उठाइन् र शहरतिर गइन् । तिनकी सासुले तिनले जे बटुलेकी थिइन् सो देखिन् । रूथले आफ्नो खाजाबाट उबारेकी भुटेको अन्‍न निकालिन् र तिनलाई दिइन् ।
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.
19 तिनकी सासुले तिनलाई भनिन्, “तिमीले आज शिला-बाला कहाँ बटुल्यौ? तिमी काम गर्न कहाँ गयौ? तिमीलाई सहायता गर्ने मानिस आशिषित होस् ।” रूथले आफूले काम गरेको खेतको मालिकबारे तिनकी सासुलाई बताइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “मैले आज काम गरेको खेतको मालिकको नाउँ बोअज हो ।”
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.
20 नाओमीले तिनकी बुहारीलाई भनिन्, “जीवित र मृतकप्रति आफ्नो विश्‍वासनीयता नछोड्नुहुने परमप्रभुद्धारा तिनी आशिषित होऊन् ।” नाओमीले तिनलाई भनिन्, “ती मानिस मोल तिरेर छुट्टाउनेमध्येका हाम्रो नजीकका एक कुटुम्ब हुन् ।”
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.
21 मोआबी महिला रूथले भनिन्, “तिनले मलाई भने, 'मेरा जवान मानिसहरूले कटनी नसिध्याएसम्म तिमी तिनीहरूको नजिक रहिरहनुपर्छ' ।”
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.
22 नाओमीले तिनकी बुहारी रूथलाई भनिन्, “मेरी छोरी, तिमी तिनका जवान महिला कामदारहरूसँग जानु असल हुन्छ, ताकि तिमीलाई अरुको खेतमा जोखिम नआओस् ।”
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.
23 त्यसैले तिनी जौ र गहूँको कटनीको अन्तसम्म शिला-बाला जम्मा गर्न बोअजका महिला कामदारहरूको नजिकै रहिन् ।
And Ruth joined herself to the damsels of Booz to glean until they had finished the barley harvest and the wheat harvest.
