Rut 2
1 Naomi mempunyai seorang anggota keluarga dari pihak mendiang suaminya, Elimelekh. Orang itu kaya dan terpandang. Namanya Boas.
And Na'omi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty, valiant man, of the family of Elimelech, whose name was Bo'az.
2 Pada suatu hari kata Rut kepada Naomi, "Ibu, saya permisi mau ke ladang untuk memungut gandum yang mungkin terjatuh dari tangan para penuai. Saya rasa tentu ada saja orang yang akan membiarkan saya melakukan hal itu." "Baik, nak!" jawab Naomi, "pergilah!"
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Na'omi, Let me go, I pray thee, into the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose eyes I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
3 Maka pergilah Rut ke ladang dan memungut gandum mengikuti para penuai. Kebetulan ia pergi ke ladang milik Boas.
And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and the accident happened to her, that it was a part of the field belonging unto Bo'az, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 Tidak lama kemudian Boas datang dari Betlehem dan memberi salam kepada para penuai. "Semoga TUHAN menyertai kalian," katanya. Para penuai menjawab, "Semoga TUHAN memberkati Bapak."
And, behold, Bo'az came from Beth-lechem, and he said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they said unto him, May the Lord bless thee.
5 Lalu Boas bertanya kepada mandurnya, "Siapa wanita itu?"
Then said Bo'az unto his young man that was appointed over the reapers, Whose maiden is this?
6 Mandur itu menjawab, "Dia wanita bangsa Moab yang baru datang bersama Naomi dari negeri Moab.
And the young man that was appointed over the reapers answered and said, It is a Moabitish maiden that is returned with Na'omi out of the fields of Moab;
7 Ia minta izin dari saya supaya diperbolehkan ikut di belakang para penuai untuk memungut gandum yang tercecer. Sejak pagi ia bekerja terus, dan sekarang baru saja berhenti untuk beristirahat sebentar di pondok."
And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather among the sheaves after the reapers: so she came, and hath remained ever from the morning even until now; it is but a little while that she hath sat down in the house.
8 Lalu Boas berkata kepada Rut, "Coba dengar dahulu. Tidak usah engkau pergi memungut gandum di ladang orang lain. Pungut saja di sini bersama para pekerja saya yang wanita. Perhatikanlah ke mana mereka pergi menuai. Ikutilah mereka selalu dan jangan jauh dari mereka. Kalau engkau haus, ambil saja air dari tempayan-tempayan yang sudah diisi oleh para pekerja laki-laki. Saya sudah memerintahkan supaya mereka jangan mengganggu engkau."
Then said Bo'az unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go away from this; but keep close company with my own maidens.
Let thy eyes be on the field which they may reap, and go thou after them; behold, I have charged the young men that they shall not touch thee: and when thou art thirsty, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men may draw.
10 Mendengar itu, Rut sujud di hadapan Boas dan berkata, "Pak, saya tidak layak menerima perlakuan yang begitu baik dari Bapak. Saya ini orang asing dan tidak seharusnya mendapat perhatian Bapak!"
Thereupon she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thy eyes, that thou shouldst take cognizance of me, seeing I am but a stranger?
11 Boas menjawab, "Saya sudah mendengar tentang segala sesuatu yang kaulakukan terhadap ibu mertuamu sejak suamimu meninggal. Saya tahu bahwa engkau telah meninggalkan orang tuamu dan tanah airmu untuk datang dan tinggal di sini bersama orang-orang yang belum kaukenal.
But Bo'az answered and said unto her, It hath fully been told me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law after the death of thy husband; and how thou hast forsaken thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy birth, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not yesterday or the day before.
12 Semoga TUHAN membalas segala kebaikanmu. Semoga kau menerima apa yang patut diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allah Israel, karena engkau telah datang untuk berlindung kepada-Nya!"
May the Lord recompense thy work, and may thy reward be complete from the Lord the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to seek shelter.
13 Rut menjawab, "Bapak sungguh baik kepada saya, meskipun saya tidak sama dengan pekerja Bapak. Keramahan Bapak sangat menghibur hati saya."
Then said she, Let me find grace in thy eyes, my lord; for thou hast comforted me, and because thou hast spoken [kindly] unto the heart of thy handmaid, though I be not like one of thy handmaids.
14 Ketika sudah waktunya untuk makan, Boas berkata kepada Rut, "Marilah makan. Ini sausnya." Maka Rut pun makan bersama dengan para penuai. Boas juga memberikan gandum panggang kepadanya, dan Rut makan sampai kenyang. Setelah makan, ada pula sisanya.
And Bo'az said unto her, At mealtime come near hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she seated herself beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she ate, and was satisfied, and had some left.
15 Kemudian Rut pergi lagi memungut gandum. Setelah ia pergi, Boas berkata kepada para penuainya, "Kalau dia memungut gandum di antara yang sudah diikat, biarkan saja. Jangan membuat dia malu atau memarahi dia. Baiklah kalian sengaja mencabut sedikit-sedikit dari yang sudah diikat-ikat itu, dan menjatuhkannya untuk dia supaya dia memungutnya."
Then did she arise to glean: and Bo'az commanded his young men, saying, Even between the sheaves let her glean, and do not cause her to feel any shame;
And ye shall also draw out some for her from the bundles on purpose, and leave it, that she may glean it, and ye shall not rebuke her.
17 Rut terus saja memungut gandum di ladang sampai sore. Setelah ia memukul-mukul batang-batang gandum itu untuk melepaskan biji-bijinya dari batangnya, ternyata ia telah mengumpulkan kira-kira sepuluh kilogram.
So she gleaned in the field until the evening; and when she beat out what she had gleaned, it was about an ephah of barley.
18 Kemudian ia pulang ke kota dengan membawa hasil pungutannya itu dan menunjukkan kepada ibu mertuanya berapa banyak yang telah dipungutnya. Dan ia juga memberikan kepada ibu mertuanya itu makanan yang tak dapat dihabiskannya pada waktu makan.
And she took it up, and she went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought forth and gave to her what she had left over after she was satisfied.
19 Maka berkatalah Naomi kepadanya, "Di mana kau mendapat semuanya ini? Di ladang siapa kau bekerja hari ini? Semoga Allah memberkati orang yang berbuat baik kepadamu itu!" Maka Rut menceritakan kepada Naomi bahwa ladang tempat ia memungut gandum itu adalah milik seorang laki-laki bernama Boas.
And her mother-in-law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned today? and where hast thou wrought? may he that took cognizance of thee be blessed. And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought today is Bo'az.
20 "Nak, orang itu keluarga dekat kita sendiri," kata Naomi. "Dialah yang harus bertanggung jawab atas kita. Semoga TUHAN memberkati dia. TUHAN selalu menepati janji-Nya, baik kepada orang yang masih hidup maupun kepada mereka yang sudah meninggal."
Then said Na'omi unto her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he unto the Lord, who hath not withheld his kindness from the living and from the dead. And Na'omi said unto her, The man is nearly related unto us, he is one of our next kinsmen.
21 Kemudian Rut berkata lagi, "Bu, orang itu mengatakan juga bahwa saya boleh terus memungut gandum bersama para pekerjanya sampai hasil seluruh ladangnya selesai dituai."
And Ruth the Moabitess said, He hath also said unto me, Thou shalt keep close company with my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
22 "Ya, nak," jawab Naomi kepada Rut, "memang lebih baik kau bekerja bersama para pekerja wanita di ladang Boas. Sebab, kalau kau pergi ke ladang orang lain, kau bisa diganggu orang di sana!"
Then said Na'omi unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that men may not meet with thee in any other field.
23 Oleh sebab itu, Rut tetap mengikuti para pekerja wanita di ladang Boas. Ia memungut gandum di sana sampai seluruh panen selesai dituai--baik panen pertama maupun panen terakhir. Dan selama itu Rut tinggal dengan ibu mertuanya.
So she kept close company with the maidens of Bo'az in gleaning until the end of the barley-harvest and of the wheat-harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
