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.
| در بیت‌لحم مرد ثروتمندی به نام بوعز زندگی می‌کرد که از بستگان اِلیمِلِک شوهر نعومی بود. |
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.”
| روزی روت به نعومی گفت: «اجازه بده به کشتزارها بروم و در زمین کسی که به من اجازهٔ خوشه‌چینی بدهد خوشه‌هایی را که بعد از درو باقی می‌ماند، جمع کنم.» نعومی گفت: «بسیار خوب دخترم، برو.» |
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!
| پس روت به کشتزار رفته، مشغول خوشه‌چینی شد. اتفاقاً کشتزاری که او در آن خوشه می‌چید از آن بوعز، خویشاوند اِلیمِلِک شوهر نعومی بود. |
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]!”
| در این وقت، بوعز از شهر به کشتزار آمد. او به دروگران سلام کرده، گفت: «خداوند با شما باشد.» آنها نیز در جواب گفتند: «خداوند تو را برکت دهد.» |
5 Then Boaz saw Ruth, and asked the (foreman/man in charge of the other workmen), “Whose [daughter] is that young woman?”
| سپس بوعز از سرکارگرش پرسید: «این زنی که خوشه می‌چیند کیست؟» |
6 The foreman replied, “She is the woman from Moab who returned from there with [her mother-in-law] Naomi.
| او جواب داد: «این همان زن موآبی است که همراه نعومی از موآب آمده است. |
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.”
| او امروز صبح به اینجا آمد و از من اجازه گرفت تا به دنبال دروگران خوشه بچیند. از صبح تا حالا مشغول خوشه‌چینی است و فقط کمی زیر سایبان استراحت کرده است.» |
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.
| بوعز پیش روت رفت و به او گفت: «گوش کن دخترم، به کشتزار دیگری نرو، همین‌جا با کنیزان من باش و در کشتراز من به دنبال دروگران خوشه‌چینی کن. به کارگرانم دستور داده‌ام که مزاحم تو نشوند. هر وقت تشنه شدی برو و از کوزه‌های آبِ آنها بنوش.» |
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.”
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!”
| روت رو بر زمین نهاد و از او تشکر کرد و گفت: «چرا با اینکه می‌دانید من یک بیگانه‌ام، مرا مورد لطف خود قرار می‌دهید؟» |
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.
| بوعز جواب داد: «می‌دانم پس از مرگ شوهرت چقدر به مادر شوهرت محبت کرده‌ای و چگونه به خاطر او پدر و مادر و زادگاه خود را ترک کرده و با وی به اینجا آمده‌ای تا در میان قومی زندگی کنی که آنها را نمی‌شناختی. |
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.”
| خداوند، پاداش این فداکاری تو را بدهد و از سوی یهوه خدای اسرائیل که زیر بالهایش پناه گرفته‌ای، اجر کامل به تو برسد.» |
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.”
| روت در پاسخ وی گفت: «سرور من، شما نسبت به من خیلی لطف دارید. من حتی یکی از کنیزان شما نیز به حساب نمی‌آیم ولی با وجود این با سخنانتان مرا دلداری می‌دهید!» |
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.
| وقت نهار، بوعز او را صدا زده، گفت: «بیا غذا بخور.» روت رفت و پیش دروگرها نشست و بوعز خوراکی پیش او گذاشت و روت خورد و سیر شد و از آن خوراکی مقداری نیز باقی ماند. |
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.
| وقتی روت به سرکارش رفت، بوعز به دروگرانش گفت: «بگذارید او هر جا می‌خواهد خوشه جمع کند حتی در میان بافه‌ها، و مزاحم او نشوید. در ضمن عمداً خوشه‌هایی از بافه‌ها بیرون کشیده، بر زمین بریزید تا او آنها را جمع کند.» |
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.”
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.
| روت تمام روز در آن کشتزار خوشه‌چینی کرد. غروب، آنچه را که جمع کرده بود کوبید و حدود ده کیلو جو به دست آمد. |
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].
| او آن را با باقیماندهٔ خوراک ظهر برداشته به شهر پیش مادرشوهرش برد. |
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.”
| نعومی گفت: «دخترم، امروز در کجا خوشه‌چینی کردی؟ خدا به آن کسی که به تو توجه نموده است برکت دهد.» روت همهٔ ماجرا را برای مادرشوهرش تعریف کرد و گفت که نام صاحب کشتزار بوعز است. |
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.”
| نعومی به عروس خود گفت: «خداوند او را برکت دهد! خداوند به شوهر مرحوم تو احسان نموده و لطف خود را از ما دریغ نداشته است. آن شخص از بستگان نزدیک ماست که می‌تواند ولی ما باشد.» |
21 Then Ruth said, “He also said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they have finished harvesting all my grain.’”
| روت به مادرشوهرش گفت: «او به من گفت که تا پایان فصل درو می‌توانم در کشتزارش به دنبال دروگرانش خوشه‌چینی کنم.» |
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.”
| نعومی گفت: «بله دخترم، بهتر است با کنیزان بوعز خوشه‌چینی کنی. برای تو کشتزار بوعز از هر جای دیگری امن‌تر است.» |
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.
| پس روت تا پایان فصل درو جو و گندم نزد کنیزان بوعز به خوشه‌چینی مشغول شد. او همچنان با مادرشوهرش زندگی می‌کرد. |
