Ruth 2
1 There was a man in Bethlehem who belonged to the clan of [Naomi’s dead husband], Elimelech. He was rich and well-known/influential. His name was Boaz.
नाओमीका पतिका नातेदार अर्थात् एलीमेलेकका कुलका बोअज नाउँ गरेको एक जना हुने-खाने मानिस थिए ।
2 [One day] Ruth said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the grain left behind by the workers.” Naomi replied, “Go ahead, my daughter.”
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 ।”
3 So Ruth went to the fields and began to pick up some of the left-over grain. And it happened that she was working in a field that belonged to Boaz, [the man] from the clan of [her dead father-in-law], Elimelech!
रूथ गइन् र तिनीहरूले कटनी गरेपछि रहेका अन्नहरूको शिला-बाला खोजिन् । तिनी एलिमेलेकका कुलका बोअजको खेतका खण्डमा आइपुगिन् ।
4 Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem. He greeted the men who were harvesting the grain, saying, “I want Yahweh to bless you!” They replied, “We want Yahweh to bless you, [too]!”
बोअज बेथलेहेमबाट आएर कटनी गर्नेहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसँग हुनुभएको होस् ।” तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको होस् ।”
5 Then Boaz saw Ruth, and asked the (foreman/man in charge of the other workmen), “Whose [daughter] is that young woman?”
त्यसपछि बोअजले कटनी गर्नेहरूको निरक्षण गर्ने तिनका नोकरलाई भने, “यो महिला कुन पुरुषकी हुन्?”
6 The foreman replied, “She is the woman from Moab who returned from there with [her mother-in-law] Naomi.
कटनी गर्नेहरूको निरीक्षण गर्ने नोकरले जवाफ दिएर भने, “यी जवान महिला मोआबको मुलकबाट नाओमीसँग फर्केर आएकी महिला हुन् ।
7 She said to me, ‘Please let me walk behind the men who are harvesting the grain and pick up some of the grain they leave behind.’ [I gave her permission, and] she went into the field, and she has been working from this morning until now. The only time she did not work was when she rested for a short time in the shelter.”
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 ।”
8 So Boaz went over to Ruth and said to her, “Young lady, listen to me. Don’t go and pick up grain in another field. Do not go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.
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 ।
9 Watch where the men are harvesting, and follow along behind the [servant] girls. I will tell the men [who are working] not to touch/molest you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get some water to drink from the jars that the men have filled.”
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 ।”
10 When he said that, she knelt down in front of him [in respect], with her face touching the ground. She exclaimed, “Why are you acting so kindly toward me, by paying attention to me? [I am not even a Jew; I am] a foreigner!”
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?”
11 Boaz replied, “People have told me all about what you have done for your mother-in-law. They told me that you left your parents and your homeland, and you came here to live among people whom you did not know before.
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 ।
12 I hope/desire that Yahweh will repay you for what you have done. You have put yourself in the care of Yahweh, [like a little bird puts itself] under [its mother’s] wings [MET]. I desire that he will reward you very greatly.”
परमप्रभुले तिम्रो कामको ईनाम दिनुभएको होस् । तिमीले जसको पखेटामुनि शरण पाएकी छ्यौ उही परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरबाट पुरा भुक्तानी पाउन सक ।”
13 She replied, “Sir, I hope you will continue to act kindly toward me. You have comforted/encouraged me, even though I am lower in status than any of your servant girls.”
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 ।”
14 At mealtime, Boaz said to her, “Come over here. Take some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar [and eat it].” Then when she sat down with the men who had been harvesting, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all the grain she wanted, and had some left over.
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 ।
15 As she stood up to start gathering grain [again], Boaz ordered his workers, “Even if she gathers some grain near the bundles of grain that have been cut, do not scold her.
तिनी अन्न बटुल्न उठ्दा, बोअजले तिनका जवान मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्दै आज्ञा दिए, “तिनलाई बिटाहरूको बिचतिर पनि अन्न बटुल्न देऊ र तिनलाई नबटुल नभन् ।
16 Instead, pull out some stalks of grain from the bundles, and leave them on the ground for her to pick up, and do not rebuke her.”
साथै बिटाहरूबाट तिनको निम्ति केही अन्नका बालाहरू थुतेर निकाल, र तिनलाई बटुल्नको निम्ति तिनीहरूलाई छोडिदेऊ अनि तिनलाई नहप्काऊ ।”
17 So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. Then she (threshed/beat with a stick) the barley that she had gathered, [to separate the kernels from the stalks], and the barley filled a large basket.
त्यसैले तिनले खेतमा साँझसम्म शिला-बाला बटुलिन् । तिनले बटुलेकी अन्नका बालाहरू कुटिन् र अन्न झण्डै पाँच पाथी जति भयो ।
18 She carried it back to town, and showed to her mother-in-law how much she had gathered. Ruth also showed to her the grain [that was left over after] she had eaten enough from [what Boaz had given her at lunchtime].
तिनले यसलाई उठाइन् र शहरतिर गइन् । तिनकी सासुले तिनले जे बटुलेकी थिइन् सो देखिन् । रूथले आफ्नो खाजाबाट उबारेकी भुटेको अन्न निकालिन् र तिनलाई दिइन् ।
19 Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you gather grain today? In whose [field] did you work? [God will] surely bless the man who was kind to you.” Then Ruth told her about the man in whose field she had been working. She said, “The name of the man [who owns the field] where I worked today is Boaz.”
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 ।”
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will bless him! He has not stopped acting kindly toward [us, who are still] living, and to [our husbands] who have died.” Then she added, “That man is a close relative [of Elimelech]; he is one of those who has a responsibility to help those who are his relatives.”
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 ।”
21 Then Ruth said, “He also said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they have finished harvesting all my grain.’”
मोआबी महिला रूथले भनिन्, “तिनले मलाई भने, 'मेरा जवान मानिसहरूले कटनी नसिध्याएसम्म तिमी तिनीहरूको नजिक रहिरहनुपर्छ' ।”
22 Naomi replied, “My daughter, it will be good for you to go [to his field] with his [servant] girls, because if you go to someone else’s field, someone might harm/molest you.”
नाओमीले तिनकी बुहारी रूथलाई भनिन्, “मेरी छोरी, तिमी तिनका जवान महिला कामदारहरूसँग जानु असल हुन्छ, ताकि तिमीलाई अरुको खेतमा जोखिम नआओस् ।”
23 So Ruth stayed close to Boaz’s [servant] girls [while she was working]. She gathered stalks of grain until the barley harvest and the wheat harvest were finished. During that time she lived with Naomi.
त्यसैले तिनी जौ र गहूँको कटनीको अन्तसम्म शिला-बाला जम्मा गर्न बोअजका महिला कामदारहरूको नजिकै रहिन् ।
