Ruth 2
1 Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Naomi itu mempunyai seorang sanak dari pihak suaminya, seorang yang kaya raya dari kaum Elimelekh, namanya Boas.
2 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.”
Maka Rut, perempuan Moab itu, berkata kepada Naomi: "Biarkanlah aku pergi ke ladang memungut bulir-bulir jelai di belakang orang yang murah hati kepadaku." Dan sahut Naomi kepadanya: "Pergilah, anakku."
3 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.
Pergilah ia, lalu sampai di ladang dan memungut jelai di belakang penyabit-penyabit; kebetulan ia berada di tanah milik Boas, yang berasal dari kaum Elimelekh.
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the LORD be with you.” They answered him, “May the LORD bless you.”
Lalu datanglah Boas dari Betlehem. Ia berkata kepada penyabit-penyabit itu: "TUHAN kiranya menyertai kamu." Jawab mereka kepadanya: "TUHAN kiranya memberkati tuan!"
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
Lalu kata Boas kepada bujangnya yang mengawasi penyabit-penyabit itu: "Dari manakah perempuan ini?"
6 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.
Bujang yang mengawasi penyabit-penyabit itu menjawab: "Dia adalah seorang perempuan Moab, dia pulang bersama-sama dengan Naomi dari daerah Moab.
7 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.”
Tadi ia berkata: Izinkanlah kiranya aku memungut dan mengumpulkan jelai dari antara berkas-berkas jelai ini di belakang penyabit-penyabit. Begitulah ia datang dan terus sibuk dari pagi sampai sekarang dan seketikapun ia tidak berhenti."
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field, and do not go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
Sesudah itu berkatalah Boas kepada Rut: "Dengarlah dahulu, anakku! Tidak usah engkau pergi memungut jelai ke ladang lain dan tidak usah juga engkau pergi dari sini, tetapi tetaplah dekat pengerja-pengerja perempuan.
9 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Have not 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.”
Lihat saja ke ladang yang sedang disabit orang itu. Ikutilah perempuan-perempuan itu dari belakang. Sebab aku telah memesankan kepada pengerja-pengerja lelaki jangan mengganggu engkau. Jika engkau haus, pergilah ke tempayan-tempayan dan minumlah air yang dicedok oleh pengerja-pengerja itu."
10 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?”
Lalu sujudlah Rut menyembah dengan mukanya sampai ke tanah dan berkata kepadanya: "Mengapakah aku mendapat belas kasihan dari padamu, sehingga tuan memperhatikan aku, padahal aku ini seorang asing?"
11 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 did not know before.
Boas menjawab: "Telah dikabarkan orang kepadaku dengan lengkap segala sesuatu yang engkau lakukan kepada mertuamu sesudah suamimu mati, dan bagaimana engkau meninggalkan ibu bapamu dan tanah kelahiranmu serta pergi kepada suatu bangsa yang dahulu tidak engkau kenal.
12 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.”
TUHAN kiranya membalas perbuatanmu itu, dan kepadamu kiranya dikaruniakan upahmu sepenuhnya oleh TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang di bawah sayap-Nya engkau datang berlindung."
13 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.”
Kemudian berkatalah Rut: "Memang aku mendapat belas kasihan dari padamu, ya tuanku, sebab tuan telah menghiburkan aku dan telah menenangkan hati hambamu ini, walaupun aku tidak sama seperti salah seorang hamba-hambamu perempuan."
14 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.
Ketika sudah waktu makan, berkatalah Boas kepadanya: "Datanglah ke mari, makanlah roti ini dan celupkanlah suapmu ke dalam cuka ini." Lalu duduklah ia di sisi penyabit-penyabit itu, dan Boas mengunjukkan bertih gandum kepadanya; makanlah Rut sampai kenyang, bahkan ada sisanya.
15 When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.
Setelah ia bangun untuk memungut pula, maka Boas memerintahkan kepada pengerja-pengerjanya: "Dari antara berkas-berkas itupun ia boleh memungut, janganlah ia diganggu;
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and do not rebuke her.”
bahkan haruslah kamu dengan sengaja menarik sedikit-sedikit dari onggokan jelai itu untuk dia dan meninggalkannya, supaya dipungutnya; janganlah berlaku kasar terhadap dia."
17 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.
Maka ia memungut di ladang sampai petang; lalu ia mengirik yang dipungutnya itu, dan ada kira-kira seefa jelai banyaknya.
18 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.
Diangkatnyalah itu, lalu masuklah ia ke kota. Ketika mertuanya melihat apa yang dipungutnya itu, dan ketika dikeluarkannya dan diberikannya kepada mertuanya sisa yang ada setelah kenyang itu,
19 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.”
maka berkatalah mertuanya kepadanya: "Di mana engkau memungut dan di mana engkau bekerja hari ini? Diberkatilah kiranya orang yang telah memperhatikan engkau itu!" Lalu diceritakannyalah kepada mertuanya itu pada siapa ia bekerja, katanya: "Nama orang pada siapa aku bekerja hari ini ialah Boas."
20 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.”
Sesudah itu berkatalah Naomi kepada menantunya: "Diberkatilah kiranya orang itu oleh TUHAN yang rela mengaruniakan kasih setia-Nya kepada orang-orang yang hidup dan yang mati." Lagi kata Naomi kepadanya: "Orang itu kaum kerabat kita, dialah salah seorang yang wajib menebus kita."
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
Lalu kata Rut, perempuan Moab itu: "Lagipula ia berkata kepadaku: Tetaplah dekat pengerja-pengerjaku sampai mereka menyelesaikan seluruh penyabitan ladangku."
22 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.”
Lalu berkatalah Naomi kepada Rut, menantunya itu: "Ya anakku, sebaiknya engkau keluar bersama-sama dengan pengerja-pengerjanya perempuan, supaya engkau jangan disusahi orang di ladang lain."
23 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.
Demikianlah Rut tetap dekat pada pengerja-pengerja perempuan Boas untuk memungut, sampai musim menuai jelai dan musim menuai gandum telah berakhir. Dan selama itu ia tinggal pada mertuanya.
