Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now her husband Elimelech had a kinsman, a powerful man, and very rich, whose name was Booz.
1拿俄米 的丈夫 以利米勒 的親族中，有一個人名叫 波阿斯 ，是個大財主。
2And Ruth the Moabitess said to her mother in law: If thou wilt, I will go into the field, and glean the ears of corn that escape the hands of the reapers, wheresoever I shall find grace with a householder that will be favourable to me. And she answered her: Go, my daughter.
2摩押 女子 路得 對 拿俄米 說：「容我往田間去，我蒙誰的恩，就在誰的身後拾取麥穗。」 拿俄米 說：「女兒啊，你只管去。」
3She went therefore and gleaned the ears of corn after the reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
3路得 就去了，來到田間，在收割的人身後拾取麥穗。她恰巧到了 以利米勒 本族的人 波阿斯 那塊田裏。
4And behold, he came out of Bethlehem, and said to the reapers: The Lord be with you. And they answered him: The Lord bless thee.
4波阿斯 正從 伯利恆 來，對收割的人說：「願耶和華與你們同在！」他們回答說：「願耶和華賜福與你！」
5And Booz said to the young man that was set over the reapers: Whose maid is this?
5波阿斯 問監管收割的僕人說：「那是誰家的女子？」
6And he answered him: This is the Moabitess who came with Noemi, from the land of Moab,
6監管收割的僕人回答說：「是那 摩押 女子，跟隨 拿俄米 從 摩押 地回來的。
7And she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain, following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment.
7她說：『請你容我跟着收割的人拾取打捆剩下的麥穗。』她從早晨直到如今，除了在屋子裏坐一會兒，常在這裏。」
8And Booz said to Ruth: Hear me, daughter, do not go to glean in any other field, and do not depart from this place: but keep with my maids,
8波阿斯 對 路得 說：「女兒啊，聽我說，不要往別人田裏拾取麥穗，也不要離開這裏，要常與我使女們在一處。
9And follow where they reap. For I have charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants drink.
9我的僕人在那塊田收割，你就跟着他們去。我已經吩咐僕人不可欺負你；你若渴了，就可以到器皿那裏喝僕人打來的水。」
10She fell on her face and worshipping upon the ground, said to him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes, and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me a woman of another country?
10路得 就俯伏在地叩拜，對他說：「我既是外邦人，怎麼蒙你的恩，這樣顧恤我呢？」
11And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
11波阿斯 回答說：「自從你丈夫死後，凡你向婆婆所行的，並你離開父母和本地，到素不認識的民中，這些事人全都告訴我了。
12The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayest thou receive a full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and under whose wings thou art fled.
12願耶和華照你所行的賞賜你。你來投靠耶和華－ 以色列 上帝的翅膀下，願你滿得他的賞賜。」
13And she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast comforted me and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not like to one of thy maids.
13路得 說：「我主啊，願在你眼前蒙恩。我雖然不及你的一個使女，你還用慈愛的話安慰我的心。」
14And Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings.
14到了吃飯的時候， 波阿斯 對 路得 說：「你到這裏來吃餅，將餅蘸在醋裏。」 路得 就在收割的人旁邊坐下；他們把烘了的穗子遞給她。她吃飽了，還有餘剩的。
15And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not:
15她起來又拾取麥穗， 波阿斯 吩咐僕人說：「她就是在捆中拾取麥穗，也可以容她，不可羞辱她；
16And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them.
16並要從捆裏抽出些來，留在地下任她拾取，不可叱嚇她。」
17She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels:
17這樣， 路得 在田間拾取麥穗，直到晚上，將所拾取的打了，約有一伊法大麥。
18Which she took up and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled.
18她就把所拾取的帶進城去給婆婆看，又把她吃飽了所剩的給了婆婆。
19And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man’s name, that he was called Booz.
19婆婆問她說：「你今日在哪裏拾取麥穗，在哪裏做工呢？願那顧恤你的得福。」 路得 就告訴婆婆說：「我今日在一個名叫 波阿斯 的人那裏做工。」
20And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the dead. And again she said: The man is our kinsman.
20拿俄米 對兒婦說：「願那人蒙耶和華賜福，因為他不斷地恩待活人死人。」 拿俄米 又說：「那是我們本族的人，是一個至近的親屬。」
21And Ruth said, He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped.
21摩押 女子 路得 說：「他對我說：『你要緊隨我的僕人 拾取麥穗 ，直等他們收完了我的莊稼。』」
22And her mother in law said to her: It is better for thee, my daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man’s field some one may resist thee.
22拿俄米 對兒婦 路得 說：「女兒啊，你跟着他的使女出去，不叫人遇見你在別人田間，這才為好。」
23So she kept close to the maids of Booz: and continued to glean with them, till all the barley and the wheat were laid up in the barns.
23於是 路得 與 波阿斯 的使女常在一處拾取麥穗，直到收完了大麥和小麥。 路得 仍與婆婆同住。
