< रूथ 2 >
1 नाओमीका पतिका नातेदार अर्थात् एलीमेलेकका कुलका बोअज नाउँ गरेको एक जना हुने-खाने मानिस थिए ।
Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
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 ।”
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 find favor.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 रूथ गइन् र तिनीहरूले कटनी गरेपछि रहेका अन्नहरूको शिला-बाला खोजिन् । तिनी एलिमेलेकका कुलका बोअजको खेतका खण्डमा आइपुगिन् ।
She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 बोअज बेथलेहेमबाट आएर कटनी गर्नेहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसँग हुनुभएको होस् ।” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको होस् ।”
Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the LORD be with you.” They answered him, “May the LORD bless you.”
5 त्यसपछि बोअजले कटनी गर्नेहरूको निरक्षण गर्ने तिनका नोकरलाई भने, “यो महिला कुन पुरुषकी हुन्?”
Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
6 कटनी गर्नेहरूको निरीक्षण गर्ने नोकरले जवाफ दिएर भने, “यी जवान महिला मोआबको मुलकबाट नाओमीसँग फर्केर आएकी महिला हुन् ।
The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country 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 ।”
She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”
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 ।
Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
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 that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men 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?”
Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”
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 ।
Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.
12 परमप्रभुले तिम्रो कामको ईनाम दिनुभएको होस् । तिमीले जसको पखेटामुनि शरण पाएकी छ्यौ उही परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरबाट पुरा भुक्तानी पाउन सक ।”
May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
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 ।”
Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not 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 ।
At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.
15 तिनी अन्न बटुल्न उठ्दा, बोअजले तिनका जवान मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्दै आज्ञा दिए, “तिनलाई बिटाहरूको बिचतिर पनि अन्न बटुल्न देऊ र तिनलाई नबटुल नभन् ।
When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.
16 साथै बिटाहरूबाट तिनको निम्ति केही अन्नका बालाहरू थुतेर निकाल, र तिनलाई बटुल्नको निम्ति तिनीहरूलाई छोडिदेऊ अनि तिनलाई नहप्काऊ ।”
Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
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 until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an efah of barley.
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 ।
She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.
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 ।”
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
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 ।”
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”
21 मोआबी महिला रूथले भनिन्, “तिनले मलाई भने, 'मेरा जवान मानिसहरूले कटनी नसिध्याएसम्म तिमी तिनीहरूको नजिक रहिरहनुपर्छ' ।”
Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
22 नाओमीले तिनकी बुहारी रूथलाई भनिन्, “मेरी छोरी, तिमी तिनका जवान महिला कामदारहरूसँग जानु असल हुन्छ, ताकि तिमीलाई अरुको खेतमा जोखिम नआओस् ।”
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”
23 त्यसैले तिनी जौ र गहूँको कटनीको अन्तसम्म शिला-बाला जम्मा गर्न बोअजका महिला कामदारहरूको नजिकै रहिन् ।
So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
