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.
| روزی نعومی به روت گفت: «دخترم الان وقت آن رسیده که شوهری برای تو پیدا کنم تا زندگی‌ات سروسامان گیرد. |
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.
| همین‌طور که می‌دانی بوعز، که تو در کشتزارش خوشه‌چینی می‌کردی، از بستگان نزدیک ما می‌باشد. او امشب در خرمنگاه، جو غربال می‌کند. |
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 برو حمام کن و عطر بزن، بهترین لباست را بپوش و به خرمنگاه برو. اما نگذار بوعز تو را ببیند، تا اینکه شامش را بخورد و بخوابد. |
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.”
| دقت کن و ببین جای خوابیدن او کجاست. بعد برو و پوشش او را از روی پاهایش کنار بزن و در همان جا کنار پاهای او بخواب. آنگاه او به تو خواهد گفت که چه باید کرد.» |
5 Ruth replied, “I will do everything that you have told me [to do].”
| روت گفت: «بسیار خوب، همین کار را خواهم کرد.» |
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].
| روت آن شب به خرمنگاه رفت و طبق دستورهایی که مادرشوهرش به او داده بود، عمل کرد. بوعز پس از آنکه خورد و سیر شد، کنار بافه‌های جو دراز کشید و خوابید. آنگاه روت آهسته آمده، پوشش او را از روی پاهایش کنار زد و همان جا دراز کشید. |
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].
8 In the middle of the night, he suddenly awoke. He sat up and saw that a woman was lying at his feet.
| نیمه‌های شب، بوعز سراسیمه از خواب پرید و دید زنی کنار پاهایش خوابیده است. |
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].”
| گفت: «تو کیستی؟» روت جواب داد: «من کنیزت، روت هستم. خواهش می‌کنم مرا به زنی بگیری، زیرا تو خویشاوند نزدیک من هستی.» |
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].
| بوعز گفت: «دخترم، خداوند تو را برکت دهد! این محبتی که حالا می‌کنی از آن خوبی که در حق مادر شوهرت کردی، بزرگتر است. تو می‌توانستی با مرد جوانی، چه فقیر چه ثروتمند، ازدواج کنی؛ اما این کار را نکردی. |
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.
| حال نگران نباش. آنچه خواسته‌ای برایت انجام خواهم داد. همهٔ مردم شهر می‌دانند که تو زنی نجیب هستی. |
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.
| درست است که من خویشاوند نزدیک شوهرت هستم، اما خویشاوند نزدیکتر از من هم داری. |
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.”
| تو امشب در اینجا بمان و من فردا صبح این موضوع را با او در میان می‌گذارم. اگر او خواست با تو ازدواج کند، بگذار بکند؛ اما اگر راضی به این کار نبود، به خداوند زنده قسم که خودم حق تو را ادا خواهم کرد. اکنون تا صبح همین جا بخواب.» |
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 روت تا صبح کنار پاهای او خوابید و صبح خیلی زود، قبل از روشن شدن هوا برخاست، زیرا بوعز به او گفته بود: «نگذار کسی بفهمد که تو امشب در خرمنگاه، پیش من بوده‌ای.» |
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.
| او همچنین به روت گفت: «ردای خود را پهن کن.» روت ردایش را پهن کرد و بوعز حدود بیست کیلو جو در آن ریخت و روی دوش روت گذاشت تا به خانه ببرد. |
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].
| وقتی به خانه رسید نعومی از او پرسید: «دخترم، چطور شد؟» آنگاه روت تمام ماجرا را برای او تعریف کرد. |
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.’”
| در ضمن اضافه کرد: «برای اینکه دست خالی پیش تو برنگردم، بوعز این مقدار جو را به من داد تا به تو بدهم.» |
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]”
| نعومی گفت: «دخترم، صبر کن تا ببینیم چه پیش خواهد آمد. زیرا بوعز تا این کار را امروز تمام نکند، آرام نخواهد گرفت.» |
