路得記 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English 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 judged, there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to live in the country of Moab with his wife and his two sons.
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 name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi. The names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab and lived 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。
3Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, 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。
4They took for themselves wives of the women of Moab. The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth. They lived there 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。
5Mahlon and Chilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of 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。
6Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab; for she had heard in the country of Moab how the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
7於是她和兩個兒婦起行離開所住的地方，要回 猶大 地去。
7She went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her. They went on the way to return 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！
8Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with 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 grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband.” Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices, and wept.
10說：「不然，我們必與你一同回你本國去。」
10They said to her, “No, but 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？
11Naomi said, “Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be 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，
12Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, ‘I have hope,’ if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also 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 then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me seriously for your sakes, for the LORD’s hand 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 。
14They lifted up their voices and wept again; then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth stayed with 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！」
15She said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.”
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。
16Ruth said, “Don’t urge me to leave you, and to return from following you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God 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 do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts 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 she was determined to go with her, she stopped urging 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 they both went until they came to Bethlehem. When they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was excited about them, and they asked, “Is this 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。
20She said to them, “Don’t call me Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very 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 out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since 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, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
