रूथ 3
1 तिनकी सासू नाओमीले तिनलाई भनिन्, “मेरी छोरी, तिम्रो भलाइको निम्ति के मैले तिमीले विश्राम गर्ने ठाउँ खोज्नु पर्दैन?
Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, —My daughter! shall I not seek for thee a place of rest, in which it may be well with thee?
2 तिमीले जसका महिला कामदारहरूसित काम गरेकी छ्यौ उही बोअज हाम्रो कुटुम्ब होइनन् र? हेर, तिनले आज राती खलामा जौ बत्ताउनेछन् ।
Now, therefore, is not, Boaz, of our kindred, with whose maidens thou hast been? Lo! he is winnowing the barley threshing-floor, to-night!
3 यसकारण, नुहाऊ, तेल लगाऊ र तिम्रो उत्तम लुगा लगाऊ र तल खलामा जाऊ । तर तिनले खान र पिउन नसकेसम्म ती मानिससँग देखा नपर ।
Thou wilt, therefore, bathe thee, and anoint thee, and put thine apparel upon thee, and go down to the threshing-floor, —do not make thyself known to the man, until he have done eating and drinking.
4 तर जब तिनी सुत्छन् तिनी सुत्ने ठाउँ ख्याल गर, ताकि पछि तिमी तिनीकहाँ गएर तिनको खुट्टातिरको ओढ्ने उठाएर त्यहाँ सुत्न सक्छौ । अनि तिमीले के गर्नुपर्छ त्यो तिनले बताउनेछन् ।”
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he doth lie, and shalt go in and turn aside the covering of his feet, and lay thee down, —and, he, will tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 रूथले नाओमीलाई भनिन्, “तपाईंले भन्नुभएका सबै कुरा म गर्छु ।”
And she said unto her, —All that thou sayest, will I do.
6 त्यसैले तिनी तल खलामा गइन् र तिनले तिनकी सासूले तिनलाई दिएका निर्देशनहरूअनुसार गरिन् ।
So she went down to the threshing-floor, —and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
7 जब बोअजले खाए र पिए, तिनको हृदय खुसी भयो, तिनी अन्नको थुप्रोको छेउमा गएर सुते । त्यसपछि तिनी बिस्तारै आइन् र तिनको खुट्टाको ओढ्ने उठाएर सुतिन् ।
And, when Boaz had eaten, and drunk, and his heart was glad, he went in to lie down at the end of the heap of corn. Then came she in softly, and turned aside the covering of his feet, and laid her down.
8 मध्यराततिर ती मानिस झसङ्ग भए । तिनी फर्के र त्यहाँ एउटी महिला तिनको खुट्टा छेउमा सुतिरहेकी थिइन् ।
And it came to pass, in the middle of the night, that the man started up, and turned, —and lo! a woman, lying at his feet.
9 तिनले भने, “तिमी को हौ?” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “म तपाईंकी दासी रूथ हुँ । तपाईंकी दासीलाई तपाईंको खास्टो लगाइदिनुहोस्, किनकि तपाईं नजिकको कुटुम्ब हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And he said, Who art, thou? And she said, I, am Ruth, thy handmaid, spread, therefore, thy wing over thy handmaid, for, a kinsman, thou art.
10 बोअजले भने, “मेरी छोरी, तिमी परमप्रभुद्धारा आशिषित होऊ । तिमीले सुरुभन्दा अन्तमा अझ धैरै दया देखाएकी छ्यौ, किनभने तिमी धनी होस् वा गरीब कुनै पनि जवान मानिसको पछि लागेकी छैनौ ।
And he said—Blessed, be thou of Yahweh, my daughter, for thou hast made thy last lovingkindness better than the first, —in not following after young men, whether poor, or rich.
11 मेरी छोरी, नडराऊ! मैले तिम्रो निम्ति तिमीले भनेकी सबै कुरा गर्छु, किनभने तिमी लायककी छ्यौ भन्ने सारा शहरका मानिसहरूले जान्दछन् ।
Now, therefore, my daughter, do not fear, whatsoever thou shalt say, I will do for thee, —for all the gate of my people doth know, that, a virtuous woman, thou art.
12 म कुटम्ब हुँ भन्ने कुरा सत्य हो, तर मभन्दा नजिकका एक जना कुटुम्ब हुनुहुन्छ ।
And, now, although it is true that, a kinsman, am I, yet is there a kinsman nearer than I.
13 आज राति यहीँ बस, बिहान यदि तिनले कुटम्बको कर्तव्य पुरा गर्छन् भने ठिकै छ, तिनले नै कुटुम्बको कर्तव्य पुरा गरून् । तर यदि तिनले तिम्रो निम्ति एउटा कुटुम्बको कर्तव्य पुरा गरेनन् भने त्यसपछि मैले यो गर्नेछु भनी म परमप्रभुको जीवनद्धारा शपथ खान्छु । बिहानसम्म सुत ।
Tarry the night, and it shall be, in the morning, if he will act as kinsman to thee, well, let him so act, but, if he inclineth not to act as kinsman to thee, then will, I, so act to thee—by the life of Yahweh, —Lie still, until the morning.
14 तिनी बिहानसम्म नै तिनको खुट्टाको छेउमा सुतिरहिन् । तर तिनी एउटाले अर्को मानिसलाई चिन्न सक्ने हुनेअगि नै उठिन् । किनभने बोअजले भने, “कुनै महिला खलामा आइन् भनी कसैले थाहा नपाओस् ।”
So she lay at his feet, until the morning, and rose up before one could know his neighbour. And he said—Do not let it be known that a woman came into the threshing-floor.
15 त्यसपछि बोअजले भने, “तिम्रो ओढ्ने लेऊ र त्यसमा थाप ।” जब तिनले ओड्ने थापिन्, तिनले छ पाथी जति जौ नापेर दिए र तिनलाई बोकाइदिए । त्यसपछि तिनी शहरतिर गइन् ।
And he said—Bring the cloak that is upon thee, and hold it. So she held it, —and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it upon her, and he went into the city.
16 जब रूथ तिनको सासूकहाँ आइन्, तिनले भनिन्, “कस्तो भयो मेरी छोरी?” अनि रूथले त्यो मानिसले भनेका सबै कुरा तिनलाई बताइन् ।
And, when she came unto her mother-in- law, she said—Who art, thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done for her.
17 तिनले भनिन्, “तिनले मलाई यी छ पाथी जौ दिए, किनभने तिनले भने, 'तिम्री सासूकहाँ रित्तो हात नजाऊ' ।”
And she said—These six measures of barley, gave he unto me, —for he said, Do not go in empty, unto thy mother-in- law.
18 अनि नाओमीले भनिन्, “मेरी छोरी, कुरा के हुन्छ भनी तिमीले नजानेसम्म यहीँ बस, किनभने यो कुरा आज नै नसिध्याएसम्म ती मानिसले विश्राम गर्नेछैनन् ।”
And she said—Abide, my daughter, until that thou get to know, how the matter will fall out, —for the man will not rest, except he have finished the thing to-day.
