Psalm 31
1 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଉପରେ ନିର୍ଭରଶୀଳ। ମାେତେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିରାଶ କର ନାହିଁ। ମାେ ପ୍ରତି ଦୟା କର ଓ ମାେତେ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କର।
2 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ମାେ ନିବଦନେ ଶୁଣ। ଶୀଘ୍ର ଆସି ମାେତେ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କର। ମାେତେ ଚଟାଣ ସଦୃଶ ରକ୍ଷା କର। ମାରେ ନିରାପଦ ଆଶ୍ରଯସ୍ଥଳର ଦୁର୍ଗ ଭଳି କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କର। ମାରେ ନିରାପତ୍ତା ବଳଯ ହୁଅ। ମାେତେ ରକ୍ଷା କର।
3 ହେ ମାରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାରେ ଦୃଢ଼ ଶୈଳ। ତଣେୁ ମାେତେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପଥ ଦଖାେଅ ଓ ଦିଗଦର୍ଶନ ଦିଅ।
4 ମାରେ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ମାେ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ଏକ ୟନ୍ତା ବସାଇଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସହେି ୟନ୍ତାରୁ ମାେତେ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କର। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାରେ ନିରାପଦ ସ୍ଥଳ।
5 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ୟାହାଙ୍କୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରିପାରିବୁ। ମୁଁ ମାରେ ପ୍ରାଣକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ହସ୍ତରେ ଅର୍ପଣ କରୁଛି। ମାେତେ ରକ୍ଷା କର।
6 ଯେଉଁମାନେ ମିଥ୍ଯା ଦବଦୋଙ୍କୁ ପୂଜା କରନ୍ତି ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଘୃଣା କରେ। ମୁଁ କବଳେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ନିର୍ଭର କରେ।
7 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଦୟାର ସାଗର। ତଣେୁ ମାେତେ ସୁଖରେ ରଖନ୍ତି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାରେ ଦୂରାବସ୍ଥା ଦେଖିଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣ ମାେ ଉପରେ ଯେଉଁ ବିପଦ ପଡ଼ିଥିଲା।
8 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାରେ ଶତ୍ରୁଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତରେ ମାେତେ ଅର୍ପଣ କରିବ ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ୟନ୍ତାରୁ ମାେତେ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିବ।
9 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ମାେ ଉପରେ ଅନକେ ବିପଦ ପଡ଼ିଛି, ତଣେୁ ମାେ ପ୍ରତି କରୁଣା କର। ମୁଁ ଏତେ ବିଚଳିତ ହାଇେ ପଡ଼ିଛି ୟେ ମାରେ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣା କରୁଛି। ମାରେ ଗଳା ଶୁଖି ଯାଉଛି, ମାେ ପାକସ୍ଥଳୀ ୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ଦେଉଛି।
10 ମାରେ ଜୀବନ ଦୁଃଖରେ ଶଷେ ହବୋକୁ ଯାଉଛି। ମାରେ ଜୀବନ ଦୁଃଖରେ ସରିୟିବ। ମାରେ ଅସ୍ଥିସବୁ କ୍ଷୀଣ ହାଇେ ଯାଉଛି ଓ ମୁଁ ଅଧିକରୁ ଅଧିକ ଦୁର୍ବଳ ହାଇଯୋଉଛି।
11 ମାରେ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ମାେତେ ଘୃଣା କରନ୍ତି, ମାରେ ପଡ଼ୋଶୀମାନେ ମଧ୍ଯ ମାେତେ ଘୃଣା କରନ୍ତି। ମାରେ ବନ୍ଧୁବାନ୍ଧବମାନେ ରାସ୍ତାରେ ଦଖାେ ହେଲେ ଭୟ କରି ମାଠାରୁେ ଦୂରଇେ ୟାଆନ୍ତି।
12 ଲୋକମାନେ ମାେତେ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭୁଲି ଗଲଣେି ୟମେିତି କୌଣସି ପୁରୁଣା ଭଙ୍ଗା ପାତ୍ର ପରି।
13 ମୁଁ ଲୋକମାନେ କହୁଥିବା ସହେି ଭୟଙ୍କର କଥାସବୁ ଶୁଣେ, ସମାନେେ ମାେ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଯୋଜନା କରୁଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ମାେତେ ମାରିବାକୁ ମନ୍ତ୍ରଣା କରୁଛନ୍ତି।
14 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଆଶ୍ରିତ ଅଟେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ହିଁ ମାରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର।
15 ମାରେ ଜୀବନ ତୁମ୍ଭ ହାତରେ, ମାେତେ ଶତ୍ରୁ କବଳରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କର। କେତକେ ଲୋକ ମାେ ପଛରେ ଗୋଡ଼ାଇଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନଙ୍କେଠାରୁ ମାେତେ ରକ୍ଷା କର।
16 ଆପଣା ସବେକକୁ ଦୟାକର ଓ ଆପଣା ସ୍ନହପେୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରୁଣା ପ୍ରଦର୍ଶନ କରି ମାରେ ଜୀବନ ରକ୍ଷା କର।
17 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଛି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ ନିରାଶ କରିବ ନାହିଁ। ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ନିରାଶ ହବେେ। ସମାନେେ ନୀରବରେ କବରକୁ ଯିବେ।
18 ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ମିଥ୍ଯାବାଦୀ। ସମାନେେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ମିଥ୍ଯାକଥା କୁହନ୍ତି। ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ଅତ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଅହଂକାରୀ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସହେି ମିଥ୍ଯା କହୁଥିବା ଓଷ୍ଠ ନୀରବ ହାଇଯେିବ।
19 ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ଅନୁସରଣକାରୀମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଉତ୍ତମତା ଏକ ଧନଭଣ୍ଡାର ପରି ରଖିଅଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ଭଲ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କର। ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅନୁଗତ।
20 ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ଏକତ୍ରୀତ ହାଇେ ଉତ୍ତମ ଲୋକଙ୍କର କ୍ଷତି କରିବାକୁ ଚାହାଁନ୍ତି। ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ବିବାଦ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରନ୍ତି କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସହେି ଉତ୍ତମ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଲୁଚାଇ ରଖି ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସୁରକ୍ଷା ପ୍ରଦାନ କର ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଆପଣା ଆଶ୍ରଯ ସ୍ଥଳରେ ରକ୍ଷାକର।
21 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କରନ୍ତୁ। ମୁଁ ଯେତବେେଳେ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ବେଷ୍ଟିତ ନଗରରେ କବଳିତ ହଲିେ, ସେତବେେଳେ ସେ ମାେତେ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହ ପ୍ରଦର୍ଶନ କଲେ।
22 ମୁଁ ଭୟଭୀତ ହାଇେ ପଡ଼ିଲି ଓ ମୁଁ କହିଲି, ମୁଁ ଏମିତି ଏକ ସ୍ଥାନରେ ଅଛି, ଯେଉଁଠାରୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମାେତେ ଦେଖିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କଲି ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସହାୟତା ପାଇଁ ମାରେ ଡ଼ାକ ଶୁଣିଲ।
23 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଆଶ୍ରିତଗଣ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ଭଲ ପାଅ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସହେିମାନଙ୍କୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରନ୍ତି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତାଙ୍କର ଆଶ୍ରିତ ଅଟନ୍ତି, କିନ୍ତୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦିଅନ୍ତି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ନିଜ ଶକ୍ତିର ଅପବ୍ଯବହାର କରନ୍ତି। ସେ ସହେିମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ପ୍ରଦାନ କରନ୍ତି ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଦଣ୍ଡର ଅଧିକାରୀ।
24 ସାହସୀ ହୁଅ, ତା ହେଲେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ କରିବେ। ହେ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରିଛ।
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
2 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
3 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
4 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
5 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
6 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
7 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.
8 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
9 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
10 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
11 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
12 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
13 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
14 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
15 But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
16 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
17 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
18 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
19 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
20 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
21 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
22 Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
23 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
24 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
25 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
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.
