Ruth 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of valour, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
1拿俄米 的丈夫 以利米勒 的亲族中,有一个人名叫 波阿斯 ,是个大财主。
2And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi: 'Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find favour.' And she said unto her: 'Go, my daughter.'
2摩押 女子 路得 对 拿俄米 说:「容我往田间去,我蒙谁的恩,就在谁的身后拾取麦穗。」 拿俄米 说:「女儿啊,你只管去。」
3And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and her hap was to light on the portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
3路得 就去了,来到田间,在收割的人身后拾取麦穗。她恰巧到了 以利米勒 本族的人 波阿斯 那块田里。
4And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers: 'The LORD be with you.' And they answered him: 'The LORD bless thee.'
4波阿斯 正从 伯利恒 来,对收割的人说:「愿耶和华与你们同在!」他们回答说:「愿耶和华赐福与你!」
5Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers: 'Whose damsel is this?'
5波阿斯 问监管收割的仆人说:「那是谁家的女子?」
6And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said: 'It is a Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the field of Moab;
6监管收割的仆人回答说:「是那 摩押 女子,跟随 拿俄米 从 摩押 地回来的。
7and she said: Let me glean, I pray you, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves; so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, save that she tarried a little in the house.'
7她说:『请你容我跟着收割的人拾取打捆剩下的麦穗。』她从早晨直到如今,除了在屋子里坐一会儿,常在这里。」
8Then said Boaz unto Ruth: 'Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.
8波阿斯 对 路得 说:「女儿啊,听我说,不要往别人田里拾取麦穗,也不要离开这里,要常与我使女们在一处。
9Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them; have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.'
9我的仆人在那块田收割,你就跟着他们去。我已经吩咐仆人不可欺负你;你若渴了,就可以到器皿那里喝仆人打来的水。」
10Then she fell on her face, and bowed down to the ground, and said unto him: 'Why have I found favour in thy sight, that thou shouldest take cognizance of me, seeing I am a foreigner?'
10路得 就俯伏在地叩拜,对他说:「我既是外邦人,怎么蒙你的恩,这样顾恤我呢?」
11And Boaz answered and said unto her: 'It hath fully been told me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people that thou knewest not heretofore.
11波阿斯 回答说:「自从你丈夫死后,凡你向婆婆所行的,并你离开父母和本地,到素不认识的民中,这些事人全都告诉我了。
12The LORD recompense thy work, and be thy reward complete from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.'
12愿耶和华照你所行的赏赐你。你来投靠耶和华— 以色列 神的翅膀下,愿你满得他的赏赐。」
13Then she said: 'Let me find favour in thy sight, my LORD; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, though I be not as one of thy handmaidens.'
13路得 说:「我主啊,愿在你眼前蒙恩。我虽然不及你的一个使女,你还用慈爱的话安慰我的心。」
14And Boaz said unto her at meal-time: 'Come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar.' And she sat beside the reapers; and they reached her parched corn, and she did eat and was satisfied, and left thereof.
14到了吃饭的时候, 波阿斯 对 路得 说:「你到这里来吃饼,将饼蘸在醋里。」 路得 就在收割的人旁边坐下;他们把烘了的穗子递给她。她吃饱了,还有余剩的。
15And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying: 'Let her glean even among the sheaves, and put her not to shame.
15她起来又拾取麦穗, 波阿斯 吩咐仆人说:「她就是在捆中拾取麦穗,也可以容她,不可羞辱她;
16And also pull out some for her of purpose from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and rebuke her not.'
16并要从捆里抽出些来,留在地下任她拾取,不可叱吓她。」
17So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
17这样, 路得 在田间拾取麦穗,直到晚上,将所拾取的打了,约有一伊法大麦。
18And she took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was satisfied.
18她就把所拾取的带进城去给婆婆看,又把她吃饱了所剩的给了婆婆。
19And her mother-in-law said unto her: 'Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee.' And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said: 'The man's name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz.'
19婆婆问她说:「你今日在哪里拾取麦穗,在哪里做工呢?愿那顾恤你的得福。」 路得 就告诉婆婆说:「我今日在一个名叫 波阿斯 的人那里做工。」
20And Naomi said unto her daughter-in-law: 'Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off His kindness to the living and to the dead.' And Naomi said unto her: 'The man is nigh of kin unto us, one of our near kinsmen.'
20拿俄米 对儿妇说:「愿那人蒙耶和华赐福,因为他不断地恩待活人死人。」 拿俄米 又说:「那是我们本族的人,是一个至近的亲属。」
21And Ruth the Moabitess said: 'Yea, he said unto me: Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'
21摩押 女子 路得 说:「他对我说:『你要紧随我的仆人 拾取麦穗 ,直等他们收完了我的庄稼。』」
22And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law: 'It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that thou be not met in any other field.'
22拿俄米 对儿妇 路得 说:「女儿啊,你跟着他的使女出去,不叫人遇见你在别人田间,这才为好。」
23So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
23于是 路得 与 波阿斯 的使女常在一处拾取麦穗,直到收完了大麦和小麦。 路得 仍与婆婆同住。
