Behold, the day is ending. Stay here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go on your way early, that you may go home.”

પછી લેવી, તેની ઉપપત્ની તથા તેનો ચાકર જવા માટે ઊભા થયા, ત્યારે તેના સસરાએ, એટલે યુવતીના પિતાએ તેને કહ્યું, “જો, હવે દિવસ આથમવા આવ્યો છે. કૃપા કરી આજે રાત્રે પણ રોકાઈ જાઓ અને આનંદ કરો. આવતીકાલે વહેલા ઊઠીને તમારે ઘરે પાછા જજો.
हिन्दीन्यायियों १९:९
जब वह पुरुष अपनी रखैल और सेवक समेत विदा होने को उठा, तब उसके ससुर अर्थात् स्त्री के पिता ने उससे कहा, “देख दिन तो ढल चला है, और साँझ होने पर है; इसलिए तुम लोग रात भर टिके रहो। देख, दिन तो डूबने पर है; इसलिए यहीं आनन्द करता हुआ रात बिता, और सवेरे को उठकर अपना मार्ग लेना, और अपने डेरे को चले जाना।”

In context

7The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.

8He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young lady’s father said, “Please strengthen your heart and stay until the day declines;” and they both ate.

9When the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the young lady’s father, said to him, “Behold, now the day draws toward evening, please stay all night. Behold, the day is ending. Stay here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go on your way early, that you may go home.”

10But the man wouldn’t stay that night, but he rose up and went near Jebus (also called Jerusalem). With him were a couple of saddled donkeys. His concubine also was with him.

11When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Please come and let’s enter into this city of the Jebusites, and stay in it.”
