Ruth 3
1 One day, Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, I think that I should [RHQ] try to arrange for you to have a husband [MTY] who will (take care of/provide for) you.
| و مادر شوهرش، نعومی وی را گفت: «ای دختر من، آیا برای تو راحت نجویم تا برایت نیکو باشد. | ۱ |
2 Boaz, the man with whose [servant] girls you have been [gathering grain], is a close relative [of our dead husbands]. Listen [carefully]. Tonight he will be at the ground where [the barley has] been threshed. He will be separating the barley grain from the chaff.
| و الان آیا بوعز که تو باکنیزانش بودی خویش ما نیست؟ و اینک اوامشب در خرمن خود، جو پاک می‌کند. | ۲ |
3 Bathe yourself and put on some perfume. Put on your [best] clothes. Then go down to the ground where they have threshed [the grain]. But do not let Boaz know that you are there while he is eating [supper] and drinking.
| پس خویشتن را غسل کرده، تدهین کن و رخت خود راپوشیده، به خرمن برو، اما خود را به آن مردنشناسان تا از خوردن و نوشیدن فارغ شود. | ۳ |
4 [When he has finished eating], notice where he lies down to sleep. Then [when he is asleep], take the blanket off his feet and lie [close to his feet]. [When he wakes up], he will tell you what to do.”
| وچون او بخوابد جای خوابیدنش را نشان کن، ورفته، پایهای او را بگشا و بخواب، و او تو راخواهد گفت که چه باید بکنی.» | ۴ |
5 Ruth replied, “I will do everything that you have told me [to do].”
| او وی را گفت: «هر‌چه به من گفتی، خواهم کرد.» | ۵ |
6 So she went down to the ground where they had threshed [the barley grain]. There she did everything that her mother-in-law had told her [to do].
| پس به خرمن رفته، موافق هر‌چه مادرشوهرش او را امر فرموده بود، رفتار نمود. | ۶ |
7 When Boaz finished eating [supper] and drinking [wine], he felt happy. Then he went over to the far end of the pile of grain. He lay down [and went to sleep]. Then Ruth approached him quietly. She took the blanket off his feet and lay down [there].
| پس چون بوعز خورد و نوشید و دلش شاد شد ورفته، به کنار بافه های جو خوابید، آنگاه او آهسته آهسته آمده، پایهای او را گشود و خوابید. | ۷ |
8 In the middle of the night, he suddenly awoke. He sat up and saw that a woman was lying at his feet.
| و درنصف شب آن مرد مضطرب گردید و به آن سمت متوجه شد که اینک زنی نزد پایهایش خوابیده است. | ۸ |
9 He asked her, “Who are you?” She replied, “I am your servant, Ruth. Since you are the one who has a responsibility to take care of [someone like me whose dead husband was] your close relative, spread the corner of your cloak over my [feet to show that you will marry me].”
| و گفت: «تو کیستی»؟ او گفت: «من کنیزتو، روت هستم، پس دامن خود را بر کنیز خویش بگستران زیرا که تو ولی هستی.» | ۹ |
10 Boaz replied, “Young lady, I hope that Yahweh will (bless/be kind to) you! You have acted kindly [toward your mother-in-law], and now you are acting even more kindly [toward me by wanting to marry me, instead of wanting to marry a young man]. You have not looked for either a rich young man or a poor young man, [to marry him].
| او گفت: «ای دختر من! از جانب خداوندمبارک باش! زیرا که در آخر بیشتر احسان نمودی از اول، چونکه در عقب جوانان، چه فقیر و چه غنی، نرفتی. | ۱۰ |
11 Now, young lady, I will do everything you ask. Don’t worry [that people in this town might think I am doing wrong by marrying you because you are a woman from Moab]. All the people in this town know that you are an honorable woman.
| و حال‌ای دختر من، مترس! هرآنچه به من گفتی برایت خواهم کرد، زیرا که تمام شهر قوم من تو را زن نیکو می‌دانند. | ۱۱ |
12 But [there is one problem]. Although it is true that I am a close relative [of your mother-in-law’s dead husband], there is another man who is a closer relative [than I am], and therefore he should be the one to [marry you and] take care of you.
| و الان راست است که من ولی هستم لیکن ولی‌ای نزدیکتر از من هست. | ۱۲ |
13 You stay here for the rest of this night. Tomorrow morning [I will tell this man about you]. If he says that he will [marry you and] take care of you, fine, [we will] let him do that. But if he is not willing [to do that], I solemnly promise that as surely as Yahweh lives, I will [marry you and] take care of you. So lie/sleep here until it is morning.”
| امشب در اینجا بمان وبامدادان اگر او حق ولی را برای تو ادا نماید، خوب ادا نماید، و اگر نخواهد که برای تو حق ولی را ادا نماید، پس قسم به حیات خداوند که من آن را برای تو ادا خواهم نمود، الان تا صبح بخواب.» | ۱۳ |
14 So she lay at his feet until morning. But she got up and left before it was light enough that people would be able to recognize her, because Boaz said, “I do not want anyone to know that a woman was here.”
| پس نزد پایش تا صبح خوابیده، پیش ازآنکه کسی همسایه‌اش را تشخیص دهد، برخاست، و بوعز گفت: «زنهار کسی نفهمد که این زن به خرمن آمده است. | ۱۴ |
15 He also said to her, “Bring to me your cloak and spread it out.” When she did that, he poured into it six measures/24 liters/50 pounds of barley, and put in on her back. Then he (OR, she) went back to the town.
| و گفت چادری که برتوست، بیاور و بگیر.» پس آن را بگرفت و او شش کیل جو پیموده، بر وی گذارد و به شهر رفت. | ۱۵ |
16 When Ruth arrived home, her mother-in-law asked her, “My daughter, how did (things go/Boaz act toward you)?” Then Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her [and said to her].
| وچون نزد مادر شوهر خود رسید، او وی را گفت: «ای دختر من، بر تو چه گذشت؟» پس او را از هرآنچه آن مرد با وی کرده بود، خبر داد. | ۱۶ |
17 She also said [to Naomi], “He gave me all this barley, saying ‘I do not want you to return to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
| و گفت: «این شش کیل جو را به من داد زیرا گفت، نزدمادرشوهرت تهیدست مرو.» | ۱۷ |
18 Then Naomi said, “My daughter, just wait until we see what happens. [I am sure that] Boaz will take care of [LIT] the matter [of your marriage]. [LIT]”
| او وی را گفت: «ای دخترم آرام بنشین تا بدانی که این امر چگونه خواهد شد، زیرا که آن مرد تا این کار را امروزتمام نکند، آرام نخواهد گرفت.» | ۱۸ |
