路得記 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1當士師秉政的時候，國中遭遇饑荒。在 猶大 的 伯利恆 ，有一個人帶着妻子和兩個兒子往 摩押 地去寄居。
1In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man from Bethlehem in Judah, with his wife and two sons, went to reside in the land of Moab.
2這人名叫 以利米勒 ，他的妻名叫 拿俄米 ；他兩個兒子，一個名叫 瑪倫 ，一個名叫 基連 ，都是 猶大 伯利恆 的 以法他 人。他們到了 摩押 地，就住在那裏。
2The man’s name was Elimelech, his wife’s name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah, and they entered the land of Moab and settled there.
3後來 拿俄米 的丈夫 以利米勒 死了，剩下婦人和她兩個兒子。
3Then Naomi’s husband Elimelech died, and she was left with her two sons,
4這兩個兒子娶了 摩押 女子為妻，一個名叫 俄珥巴 ，一個名叫 路得 ，在那裏住了約有十年。
4who took Moabite women as their wives, one named Orpah and the other named Ruth. And after they had lived in Moab about ten years,
5瑪倫 和 基連 二人也死了，剩下 拿俄米 ，沒有丈夫，也沒有兒子。
5both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and without her husband.
6她就與兩個兒婦起身，要從 摩押 地歸回；因為她在 摩押 地聽見耶和華眷顧自己的百姓，賜糧食與他們。
6When Naomi heard in Moab that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the land of Moab.
7於是她和兩個兒婦起行離開所住的地方，要回 猶大 地去。
7Accompanied by her two daughters-in-law, she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road leading back to the land of Judah.
8拿俄米 對兩個兒婦說：「你們各人回娘家去吧。願耶和華恩待你們，像你們恩待已死的人與我一樣！
8Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back, each of you to your mother’s home. May the LORD show you loving devotion, as you have shown to your dead and to me.
9願耶和華使你們各在新夫家中得平安！」於是 拿俄米 與她們親嘴。她們就放聲而哭，
9May the LORD enable each of you to find rest in the home of your new husband.” And she kissed them as they wept aloud
10說：「不然，我們必與你一同回你本國去。」
10and said, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”
11拿俄米 說：「我女兒們哪，回去吧！為何要跟我去呢？我還能生子作你們的丈夫嗎？
11But Naomi replied, “Return home, my daughters. Why would you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb to become your husbands?
12我女兒們哪，回去吧！我年紀老邁，不能再有丈夫；即或說，我還有指望，今夜有丈夫可以生子，
12Return home, my daughters. Go on, for I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was hope for me to have a husband tonight and to bear sons,
13你們豈能等着他們長大呢？你們豈能等着他們不嫁別人呢？我女兒們哪，不要這樣。我為你們的緣故甚是愁苦，因為耶和華伸手攻擊我。」
13would you wait for them to grow up? Would you refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.”
14兩個兒婦又放聲而哭， 俄珥巴 與婆婆親嘴 而別 ，只是 路得 捨不得 拿俄米 。
14Again they wept aloud, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.
15拿俄米 說：「看哪，你嫂子已經回她本國和她 所拜 的神那裏去了，你也跟着你嫂子回去吧！」
15“Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; follow her back home.”
16路得 說：「不要催我回去不跟隨你。你往哪裏去，我也往那裏去；你在哪裏住宿，我也在那裏住宿；你的國就是我的國，你的上帝就是我的上帝。
16But Ruth replied: “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn from following you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you live, I will live; your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.
17你在哪裏死，我也在那裏死，也葬在那裏。除非死能使你我相離！不然，願耶和華重重地降罰與我。」
17Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD punish me, and ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.”
18拿俄米 見 路得 定意要跟隨自己去，就不再勸她了。
18When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped trying to persuade her.
19於是二人同行，來到 伯利恆 。她們到了 伯利恆 ，合城的人就都驚訝。婦女們說：「這是 拿俄米 嗎？」
19So Naomi and Ruth traveled until they came to Bethlehem. When they entered Bethlehem, the whole city was stirred because of them, and the women of the city exclaimed, “Can this be Naomi?”
20拿俄米 對她們說：「不要叫我 拿俄米 ，要叫我 瑪拉 ，因為全能者使我受了大苦。
20“Do not call me Naomi,” she replied. “Call me Mara, because the Almighty has dealt quite bitterly with me.
21我滿滿地出去，耶和華使我空空地回來。耶和華降禍與我；全能者使我受苦。既是這樣，你們為何還叫我 拿俄米 呢？」
21I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? After all, the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me.”
22拿俄米 和她兒婦 摩押 女子 路得 ，從 摩押 地回來到 伯利恆 ，正是動手割大麥的時候。
22So Naomi returned from the land of Moab with her daughter-in-law Ruth the Moabitess. And they arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
