Psalm 10

1 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କାହିଁକି ଦୂରରେ ରହିଅଛ। ଯେଉଁମାନେ ବିପଦରେ ପଡ଼ନ୍ତି ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦେଖିପାରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।

2 ଗର୍ବୀ ଓ ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ କୁମନ୍ତ୍ରଣା କରନ୍ତି ଓ ସମାନେେ ଗରିବ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର କ୍ଷତି କରନ୍ତି।

3 ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ଆପଣା ମନସ୍କାମନା ବିଷଯରେ ଗର୍ବ ଅନୁଭବ କରନ୍ତି ଓ ସହେି ଲୋଭୀ ଲୋକମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଅଭିଶାପ ଦିଅନ୍ତି। ଏହି ଉପାଯରେ ସହେି ମନ୍ଦ ଲୋକମାନେ ଦଖାଇେ ଦବୋକୁ ଚାହାଁନ୍ତି ସମାନେେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ଘୃଣା କରନ୍ତି।

4 ଦୁଷ୍ଟମାନେ ଅହଂକାର ବଶତଃ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ମନ୍ଦ ଯୋଜନାରେ ବ୍ଯସ୍ତ ରହନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଭାବନ୍ତି ୟେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଜାଣନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।

5 ମନ୍ଦ ଲୋକମାନେ ସବୁବେଳେ ମନ୍ଦ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିବାକୁ ମନ ବଳାନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ଓ ସମସ୍ତ ଉତ୍ତମ ଶିକ୍ଷାକୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ତାଙ୍କର ଉପଦେଶକୁ ଅବଜ୍ଞା କରନ୍ତି।

6 ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଭାବନ୍ତି ୟେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଉପରେ କବେେ ବିପଦ ଆସିବ ନାହିଁ। ସମାନେେ କହନ୍ତି, ଆମ୍ଭର ସବୁବେଳେ ଭଲ ହବେ ଏବଂ କବେେ ବି ଆମ୍ଭେ ଦଣ୍ଡ ପାଇବୁ ନାହିଁ।

7 ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ସବୁବେଳେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ତିରସ୍କାର କରନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ସବୁବେଳେ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷଯରେ ମନ୍ଦ କଥା କହନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ସବୁବେଳେ ମନ୍ଦକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିବାକୁ ଯୋଜନା କରନ୍ତି।

8 ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଗୁପ୍ତସ୍ଥାନରେ ଲୁଚି ରହି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଧରିବା ପାଇଁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଗୋପନରେ ରହି ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଆଘାତ କରିବାକୁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ନିର୍ଦ୍ ଦୋଷ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରନ୍ତି।

9 ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ସିଂହ ଭଳି ଅନ୍ୟ ପ୍ରାଣୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଧରି ଖାଇ ୟାଆନ୍ତି ସମାନେେ ଗରିବ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରନ୍ତି। ସହେି ନିରୀହ ଲୋକମାନେ ସହଜରେ ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ବସାୟାଇଥିବା ୟନ୍ତାରେ ପଡ଼ି ୟାଆନ୍ତି।

10 ବାରମ୍ବାର ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ନିରୀହ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର କ୍ଷତି କରନ୍ତି।

11 ତଣେୁ ସହେି ନିରୀହ ଲୋକମାନେ ଭାବିବାକୁ ଲାଗନ୍ତି, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଭୁଲି ୟାଇଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ବହୁ ଦୂରକୁ ଚାଲି ୟାଇଛନ୍ତି। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ୟାହା ଘଟୁଛି ସେ ବୋଧହୁଏ ଦେଖୁ ନାହାଁନ୍ତି।

12 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଗ୍ରତ ହୁଅ, ଏବଂ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ କିଛି କର। ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦିଅ !ଗରିବ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଭୁଲି ୟାଅ ନାହିଁ।

13 କାହିଁକି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ୟାଆନ୍ତି ? କାରଣ ସମାନେେ ଭାବନ୍ତି ୟେ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦବେେ ନାହିଁ।

14 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ନିଶ୍ଚଯ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସହେି ନଷ୍ଠୁର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଦେଖୁଅଛ। ଥରେ ସହେି ମନ୍ଦକାର୍ୟ୍ଯକୁ ଚାହଁ, ଓ କିଛି କର। ଯେଉଁମାନେ ବିପଦରେ ପଡ଼ନ୍ତି, ନିଶ୍ଚଯ ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିକଟକୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ଆସନ୍ତି। ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ହେଉଛ ଏକମାତ୍ର, ୟିଏକି ସହେି ପିତୃହୀନ ମାନଙ୍କୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରିପାର।

15 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଦୁଷ୍ଟମାନଙ୍କୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କର। ସମାନଙ୍କେର କୁକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଦଣ୍ଡିତ କର, ସମାନେେ ଧ୍ବଂସ ହାଇେ ନ ୟିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ।

16 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଅନନ୍ତକାଳ ରାଜା ଅଟନ୍ତି। ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ରାଜ୍ଯରୁ ବିତାଡ଼ିତ କର।

17 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସହେି ନିରୀହ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଡ଼ାକ ଶୁଣିଛ ବା ସମାନେେ ୟାହା ଚାହୁଁଛନ୍ତି ଜାଣିପାରୁଛ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା ଶୁଣ ଓ ସମାନେେ ୟାହା ଚାହୁଁଛନ୍ତି ତାହା ପ୍ରଦାନ କର।

18 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ଯେଉଁ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କର ପିତାମାତା ନାହାଁନ୍ତି ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ରକ୍ଷା କର। ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଅଧିକ ବିପଦରେ ପଡ଼ିଛନ୍ତି, ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅଧିକ ଦୁଃଖୀ କରାଅ ନାହିଁ। ତଣେୁ ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ମନରେ ଭୟ ସଞ୍ଚାର କର, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଏଠାରେ ଅଛନ୍ତି।

1 Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.

4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

16 The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

Ruth 3 in Tamil and English

1 ਖਲਵਾੜਾ ਫ਼ੇਰ ਰੂਥ ਦੀ ਸੱਸ ਨਾਓਮੀ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਮੇਰੀਏ ਧੀਏ, ਮੈਨੂੰ ਤੇਰੇ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਚੰਗਾ ਪਤੀ ਲੱਭਣ ਦੇ ਜੋ ਤੇਰੇ ਲਈ ਪ੍ਰਬੰਧ ਕਰੇਗਾ, ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਾਂਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਅਰਾਮ ਮਿਲ ਸੱਕੇ।
Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

2 ਹੋ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਹੀ ਢੁਕਵਾਂ ਆਦਮੀ ਹੋਵੇ। ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਸਾਡਾ ਨਜ਼ਦੀਕੀ ਰਿਸ਼ਤੇਦਾਰ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਤੂੰ ਉਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਾਮੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਕੰਮ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ। ਅੱਜ, ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਖਲਵਾੜੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਜੌਂ ਨੂੰ ਫ਼ਟਕ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।
And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

3 ਜਾ ਅਤੇ ਨਹਾ ਕੇ ਅਤਰ ਛਿੜਕ ਲੈ ਚੰਗੇ ਕੱਪੜੇ ਪਾ ਅਤੇ ਖਲਵਾੜੇ ਵੱਲ ਚਲੀ ਜਾ, ਪਰ ਤੂੰ ਓਨੀ ਦੇਰ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੂੰ ਨਜ਼ਰ ਨਾ ਆਵੀਂ ਜਦੋਂ ਤੱਕ ਉਹ ਰਾਤ ਦਾ ਖਾਣਾ ਖਤਮ ਨਾ ਕਰ ਲਵੇ।
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.

4 ਖਾਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਦ ਉਹ ਅਰਾਮ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਲੇਟ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ ਉੱਥੇ ਜਾਵੀਂ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦਿਆਂ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਵਸਤਰ ਹਟਾ ਦੇਵੀਂ। ਫ਼ਿਰ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨਾਲ ਲੇਟ ਜਾਵੀਂ। ਫ਼ੇਰ ਉਹ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਦੱਸੇਗਾ ਕਿ ਕੀ ਕਰਨਾ ਹੈ।”
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

5 ਰੂਥ ਨੇ ਜਵਾਬ ਦਿੱਤਾ, “ਜੋ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਆਖਿਆ ਹੈ ਮੈਂ ਉਵੇਂ ਹੀ ਕਰਾਂਗੀ।”
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.

6 ਇਸ ਲਈ ਰੂਥ ਖਲਵਾੜੇ ਵੱਲ ਗਈ। ਰੂਥ ਨੇ ਉਹ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਕੀਤਾ ਜੋ ਉਸਦੀ ਸੱਸ ਨੇ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਆਖਿਆ ਸੀ।
And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.

7 ਖਾਣ-ਪੀਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਦ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਬਹੁਤ ਸੰਤੁਸ਼ਟ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ। ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਅਨਾਜ ਦੇ ਢੇਰ ਨੇੜੇ ਲੇਟ ਗਿਆ। ਫ਼ੇਰ ਰੂਥ ਬਹੁਤ ਚੁੱਪ-ਚਾਪ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਕੋਲ ਗਈ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਵਸਤਰ ਹਟਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਰੂਥ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਕੋਲ ਲੇਟ ਗਈ।
And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

8 ਅੱਧੀ ਰਾਤ ਵੇਲੇ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੇ ਪਾਸਾ ਪਰਤਿਆ ਆਪਣੀ ਨੀਂਦ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਤੇ ਉੱਠ ਖੜ੍ਹਾ ਹੋਇਆ। ਉਹ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੈਰਾਨ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ। ਉਸ ਦੇ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਨੇੜੇ ਇੱਕ ਔਰਤ ਲੇਟੀ ਹੋਈ ਸੀ।
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

9 ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਤੂੰ ਕੌਣ ਹੈ?” ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਨੌਕਰਾਨੀ ਰੂਥ ਹਾਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਉੱਪਰ ਆਪਣੀ ਚਾਦਰ ਪਾ ਦਿਉ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਰਾਖੇ ਹੋ।”
And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

10 ਤਾਂ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਮੁਟਿਆਰੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਤੇਰਾ ਭਲਾ ਕਰੇ। ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਮਿਹਰਬਾਨ ਰਹੀਂ ਹੈ ਮੇਰੇ ਲਈ ਤੇਰੀ ਮਿਹਰਬਾਨੀ ਉਸ ਮਿਹਰਬਾਨੀ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਵਡੇਰੀ ਹੈ ਜਿਹੜੀ ਤੂੰ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਾਓਮੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਕੀਤੀ ਸੀ। ਤੂੰ ਸ਼ਾਦੀ ਲਈ ਕਿਸੇ ਅਮੀਰ ਜਾਂ ਗਰੀਬ ਜਵਾਨ ਆਦਮੀ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਚੁਣ ਸੱਕਦੀ ਸੀ ਪਰ ਤੂੰ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ।
And he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

11 ਹੁਣ, ਮੁਟਿਆਰੇ ਭੈਭੀਤ ਨਾ ਹੋ ਜੋ ਤੂੰ ਆਖੇਗੀ ਮੈਂ ਉਹੀ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ। ਸਾਡੇ ਕਸਬੇ ਦੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਲੋਕ ਜਾਣਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਤੂੰ ਬਹੁਤ ਚੰਗੀ ਔਰਤ ਹੈ।
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

12 ਅਤੇ ਇਹ ਸੱਚ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਨਜ਼ਦੀਕੀ ਰਿਸ਼ਤੇਦਾਰ ਹਾਂ। ਪਰ ਇੱਥੇ ਇੱਕ ਆਦਮੀ ਹੈ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਵੱਧੇਰੇ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਜ਼ਦੀਕੀ ਰਿਸ਼ਤੇਦਾਰ ਹੈ।
And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.

13 ਰਾਤ ਇੱਥੇ ਰੁਕ ਜਾ ਸਵੇਰੇ ਅਸੀਂ ਦੇਖਾਂਗੇ ਕਿ ਕੀ ਉਹ ਤੇਰੀ ਮਦਦ ਕਰੇਗਾ। ਜੇ ਉਹ ਤੇਰੀ ਮਦਦ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਫ਼ੈਸਲਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਚੰਗੀ ਗੱਲ ਹੈ। ਜੇ ਉਹ ਮਦਦ ਕਰਨ ਤੋਂ ਇਨਕਾਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੂੰ ਹਾਜਰ-ਨਾਜਰ ਸਮਝਕੇ ਇਕਰਾਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਸ਼ਾਦੀ ਕਰ ਲਵਾਂਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਤੇਰੇ ਲਈ ਅਲੀਮਲਕ ਦੀ ਧਰਤੀ ਵਾਪਸ ਖਰੀਦ ਦੇਵਾਂਗਾ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਸਵੇਰ ਹੋਣ ਤੱਕ ਇੱਥੇ ਲੇਟੀ ਰਹਿ।”
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth: lie down until the morning.

14 ਇਸ ਲਈ ਰੂਥ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਦੇ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਨੇੜੇ ਸਵੇਰ ਤੱਕ ਲੇਟੀ ਰਹੀ। ਹਾਲੇ ਹਨੇਰਾ ਹੀ ਸੀ ਜਦੋਂ ਉਹ ਉੱਠ ਖਲੋਤੀ। ਇਸਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਕਿ ਇੰਨਾ ਚਾਨਣ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇ ਕਿ ਲੋਕ ਇੱਕ ਦੂਜੇ ਨੂੰ ਪਛਾਣ ਲੈਣ। ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਅਸੀਂ ਇਸ ਗੱਲ ਨੂੰ ਗੁਪਤ ਰੱਖਾਂਗੇ ਕਿ ਤੂੰ ਪਿੱਛਲੀ ਰਾਤ ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲ ਆਈ ਸੀ।”
And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.

15 ਫ਼ੇਰ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਆਪਣਾ ਸ਼ੌਲ ਲਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਖੋਲ੍ਹ।” ਇਸ ਲਈ ਰੂਥ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਸ਼ੌਲ ਨੂੰ ਖੋਲ੍ਹਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੇ ਜੌਆਂ ਦੇ ਛੇ ਤੋਂਲ ਲਈ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦੀ ਸੱਸ ਨਾਓਮੀ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਗਾਤ ਵਜੋਂ ਦੇ ਦਿੱਤੇ। ਫ਼ੇਰ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਰੂਥ ਦੇ ਸ਼ੌਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਲਪੇਟ ਕੇ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਸਿਰ ਉੱਤੇ ਰੱਖ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਫ਼ੇਰ ਉਹ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਨੂੰ ਵਪਸ ਚੱਲਾ ਗਿਆ।
Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.

16 ਰੂਥ ਆਪਣੀ ਸੱਸ ਨਾਓਮੀ ਦੇ ਘਰ ਚਲੀ ਗਈ। ਨਾਓਮੀ ਦਰਵਾਜ਼ੇ ਵੱਲ ਗਈ ਅਤੇ ਪੁੱਛਿਆ, “ਕੌਣ ਹੈ?” ਰੂਥ ਘਰ ਚਲੀ ਗਈ। ਨਾਓਮੀ ਨੂੰ ਉਹ ਸਾਰੀ ਗੱਲ ਦੱਸੱਦਿਆਂ ਹੋਇਆ ਜਿਹੜੀ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਨਾਲ ਕੀਤੀ ਸੀ।
And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.

17 ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਜੌਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਸੁਗਾਤ ਵਜੋਂ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਹਨ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਸੁਗਾਤ ਲਈ ਬਿਨਾ ਘਰ ਨਾ ਜਾਵਾਂ।”
And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.

18 ਨਾਓਮੀ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਧੀਏ ਓਨੀ ਦੇਰ ਤੱਕ ਹੌਂਸਲਾ ਰੱਖ ਜਿੰਨੀ ਦੇਰ ਤੱਕ ਅਸੀਂ ਕੁਝ ਵਾਪਰਨ ਬਾਰੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੁਣਦੇ ਬੋਅਜ਼ ਨੂੰ ਓਨੀ ਦੇਰ ਤੱਕ ਚੈਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਵੇਗਾ ਜਦੋਂ ਤੱਕ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਗੱਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਜਿਹੜੀ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਕਰਨੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ ਹੈ। ਅਸੀਂ ਦਿਨ ਮੁੱਕਣ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਹੀ ਜਾਣ ਲਵਾਂਗੇ ਕਿ ਕੀ ਵਾਪਰੇਗਾ।”
Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
