Psalm 44

1 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିଷଯରେ ଶୁଣିଅଛୁ। ଆମ୍ଭର ପିତୃପୁରୁଷଙ୍କୁ ଜୀବନ କାଳରେ ଓ ପୁର୍ବରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ୟାହାସବୁ କରିଥିଲ ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଶୁଣିଅଛୁ। ସମାନେେ ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଜଣାଇଅଛନ୍ତି।

2 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅସୀମ ଶକ୍ତି ବଳରେ ଏହି ରାଜ୍ଯକୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେଠାରୁ ଛଡ଼ାଇ ନଇେ ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଇେଅଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସହେି ବିଦେଶୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିଶ୍ଚିହ୍ନ କରିଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ବିଦେଶ ଭୂମି ଛାଡ଼ିବାକୁ ବାଧ୍ଯ କରିଛ।

3 ଆମ୍ଭର ପିତୃପୁରୁଷଙ୍କ ଖଡ୍ଗ ଦ୍ବାରା ଏ ରାଜ୍ଯ ମିଳି ନାହିଁ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ବଳିଷ୍ଠ ବାହୁ ୟୁଗଳ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ବିଜଯୀ କରି ନାହିଁ। ଏହା କବଳେ ସମ୍ଭବ ହାଇେଛି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ ଥିଲ। ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅସୀମ ଶକ୍ତି ଆମ୍ଭର ପିତୃପୁରୁଷଙ୍କୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିଥିଲା। କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଭଲ ପାଉଥିଲ।

4 ହେ ମାରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାରେ ରାଜା ଅଟ। ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦିଅ ଓ ୟାକୁବର ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରାଅ।

5 ହେ ମାରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭରି ସାହାୟ୍ଯରେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ପଛକୁ ତଡ଼ି ଦବେୁ। ତୁମ୍ଭର ନାମକୁ ନଇେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଚଢ଼ି ଚାଲିୟିବୁ।

6 ମୁଁ ମାରେ ଧନୁରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରେ ନାହିଁ, କିଅବା ମାରେ ଖଣ୍ଡା ମାେତେ ରକ୍ଷା କରିପାରିବ ନାହିଁ।

7 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭଙ୍କୁ ମିଶରଠାରୁ ବଞ୍ଚାଇଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲଜ୍ଜା ପ୍ରଦାନ କରିଛ।

8 ଆମ୍ଭେ ସାରାଦିନ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରିଛୁ। ଆମ୍ଭେ ଚିରକାଳ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରିବୁ।

9 କିନ୍ତୁ ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଛାଡ଼ି ଚାଲିଗଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ମାନସିକ ଅଶାନ୍ତ କଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ କ୍ଷେତ୍ରକୁ ଆସିଲ ନାହିଁ।

10 ଆମ୍ଭର ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ପଛକୁ ତଡ଼ି ଦେଲେ। ଆମ୍ଭର ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଧନ ସମ୍ପତ୍ତି ନଇଗେଲେ।

11 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ମେଣ୍ଢା ତୁଲ୍ଯ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ନିମନ୍ତେ ସମର୍ପଣ କରିଅଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ବିଦେଶୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଛିନ୍ନଭିନ୍ନ କରିଛ।

12 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ବିନା ମୂଲ୍ଯରେ ବିକ୍ରୀ କରି ଦେଉଛି ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଉଚିତ୍ ଦାମ ପାଇଁ ମଧ୍ଯ ଆଲୋଚନା କରି ନାହିଁ।

13 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆମ୍ଭର ପଡ଼ୋଶୀମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ପରିହାସର ପାତ୍ର କରିଛ। ସମାନେେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଦେଖି ହସନ୍ତି ଓ ଥଟ୍ଟା କରନ୍ତି।

14 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଏକ ବିପର୍ୟ୍ଯଯର କାହାଣୀରେ ପରିଣତ କରିଛ, ୟାହା ଲୋକମାନେ କହୁଛନ୍ତି। ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକଙ୍କର ନିଜର ରାଜ୍ଯ ମଧ୍ଯ ନାହିଁ, ସମାନେେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଦେଖି ହସୁଛନ୍ତି ଓ ମୁଣ୍ଡ ହଲାଉଛନ୍ତି।

15 ଲଜ୍ଜାରେ ମୁଁ ଢ଼ାଙ୍କି ହାଇୟୋଇଛି। ସାରାଦିନ ମୁଁ ସହେି ତିରସ୍କାର ଦେଖୁଛି।

16 ଲୋକମାନେ ୟାହା କହୁଛନ୍ତି ସେଥିପାଇଁ ମୁଁ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ, ଏହିସବୁ ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକମାନେ କହୁଛନ୍ତି ଏ ମାରେ ଶତ୍ରୁ।

17 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଭୁଲି ୟାଇ ନାହୁଁ। ତଥାପି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଏସବୁ ଘଟାଇଛ। ଯେତବେେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ନିଯମକୁ ସ୍ବୀକୃତି ପ୍ରଦାନ କରିଥିଲୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମିଥ୍ଯା କହି ନାହୁଁ।

18 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିକଟରୁ ଦୂରଇେ ୟାଇ ନାହୁଁ। ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କରିବାରେ ପଛଇେ ନାହୁଁ।

19 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ସ୍ଥାନରେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ପଦଦଳିତ କଲ। ଯେଉଁଠାରେ ଶୃଗାଳମାନେ ବାସ କରନ୍ତି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଏପରି ଏକ ସ୍ଥାନରେ ଛାଡ଼ିଦଲେ ୟାହା ମୃତ୍ଯୁଭଳି ଗାଢ଼ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ଅଟେ।

20 ଆମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ଆମ୍ଭ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନାମ ଭୁଲି ୟାଇଛୁ ? ଆମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ଅନ୍ୟ କୌଣସି ଦବେତାଙ୍କୁ ଡ଼ାକିଛୁ ? ନା।

21 ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସେ ସବୁ କଥା ଜାଣନ୍ତି। ସେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଆମ୍ଭର ସମସ୍ତ ଗୋପନ କଥା ଜାଣନ୍ତି।

22 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ସାରାଦିନ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ମୃତ୍ଯୁବରଣ କରୁଛୁ। ଆମ୍ଭେ ହେଉଛୁ ସହେି ମେଣ୍ଢାସବୁ ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରିବାକୁ ନିଆ ଯାଉଥାଏ।

23 ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଗ୍ରତ ହୁଅ। କାହିଁକି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଶାଇେ ରହିଛ ? ଉଠ, ଚିରଦିନ ପାଇଁ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଛାଡ଼ିୟାଅ ନାହିଁ।

24 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, କାହିଁକି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭଠାରୁ ଲୁଚିଅଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ଆମ୍ଭର ଦୁଃଖ ଓ ୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ସବୁ ଭୁଲି ୟାଇଅଛ।

25 ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଧୂଳିମାଟି ଭିତରକୁ ଠଲେି ଦିଆ ହାଇେଛି। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଉଦର ମାଟି ଧୂଳିରେ ପଡ଼ି ରହିଛି।

26 ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ଜାଗ୍ରତ ହୁଅ। ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କର। ତୁମ୍ଭର ସ୍ନହପେୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରୁଣା ହତେୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କର।

1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.

2 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

3 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

4 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

5 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

6 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

7 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

8 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

9 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

10 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

11 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

12 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

13 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

14 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

15 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

16 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

17 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

18 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

19 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

20 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

21 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

22 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

23 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

24 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

25 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

26 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

27 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.

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.
