¹路得在波阿斯的田里捡拾麦穗

¹And Naomi hath an acquaintance of her husband`s, a man mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name [is] Boaz.

²摩押女子路得对拿俄米说：“让我到田里去，我在谁的眼前蒙恩，我就跟在谁的背后捡麦穗。”拿俄米说：“女儿啊，你尽管去。”

²And Ruth the Moabitess saith unto Naomi, `Let me go, I pray thee, into the field, and I gather among the ears of corn after him in whose eyes I find grace;` and she saith to her, `Go, my daughter.`

³路得就去了，来到田里，在收割的人背后捡麦穗。她恰巧来到以利米勒同族的人波阿斯那块田。

³And she goeth and cometh and gathereth in a field after the reapers, and her chance happeneth — the portion of the field is Boaz`s who [is] of the family of Elimelech.

⁴波阿斯刚好从伯利恒来，对收割的人说：“愿耶和华与你们同在。”他们回答：“愿耶和华赐福与你。”

⁴And lo, Boaz hath come from Beth-Lehem, and saith to the reapers, `Jehovah [is] with you;` and they say to him, `Jehovah doth bless thee.`

⁵波阿斯问那监督收割的仆人：“那是谁家的姑娘呢？”

⁵And Boaz saith to his young man who is set over the reapers, `Whose [is] this young person?`

⁶监督收割的仆人回答：“她是跟拿俄米从摩押地回来的摩押女子。

⁶And the young man who is set over the reapers answereth and saith, `A young woman — Moabitess — she [is], who came back with Naomi from the fields of Moab,

⁷她说：‘请让我捡一点麦穗吧。让我跟在收割的人背后，在禾捆堆中捡些零碎的穗子。’于是她来了。除了在房子里休息了一会儿之外，从早晨到现在一直都留在这里。”

⁷and she saith, Let me glean, I pray thee — and I have gathered among the sheaves after the reapers; and she cometh and remaineth since the morning and till now; she sat in the house a little.

⁸波阿斯厚待路得波阿斯对路得说：“女儿啊，听我说，不要到别人田里去捡麦穗，也不要离开这里，要常常与我的女佣人在一起。

⁸And Boaz saith unto Ruth, `Hast thou not heard, my daughter? go not to glean in another field, and also, pass not over from this, and thus thou dost cleave to my young women:

⁹你看他们在哪块田里收割，就跟着女佣人去。我不是已经吩咐仆人不可欺负你吗？假如你渴了，就到水缸那里去，喝仆人打来的水。”

⁹thine eyes [are] on the field which they reap, and thou hast gone after them; have not I charged the young men not to touch thee? when thou art athirst then thou hast gone unto the vessels, and hast drunk from that which the young men draw.`

¹⁰路得就俯伏在地叩拜，对他说：“我是个外族人，为什么会在你眼前蒙恩，蒙你关照呢？”

¹⁰And she falleth on her face, and boweth herself to the earth, and saith unto him, `Wherefore have I found grace in thine eyes, to discern me, and I a stranger?`

¹¹波阿斯回答她说：“自从你丈夫去世以后，你对婆婆所行的，和你怎样离开父母与出生之地，来到素来不认识的人中间，这一切我都知道得很清楚了。

¹¹And Boaz answereth and saith to her, `It hath thoroughly been declared to me all that thou hast done with thy mother-in-law, after the death of thy husband, and thou dost leave thy father, and thy mother, and the land of thy birth, and dost come in unto a people which thou hast not known heretofore.

¹²愿耶和华照你所作的报答你；你来投靠在耶和华以色列　神的翅膀下，愿他充充足足酬报你。”

¹²Jehovah doth recompense thy work, and thy reward is complete from Jehovah, God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to take refuge.`

¹³路得说：“主人啊，但愿我在你眼前蒙恩，虽然我连你的婢女都不是，你还是安慰我，对我这么好。”

¹³And she saith, `Let me find grace in thine eyes, my lord, because thou hast comforted me, and because thou hast spoken unto the heart of thy maid-servant, and I — I am not as one of thy maid-servants.`

¹⁴到了吃饭的时候，波阿斯对路得说：“你过来，吃一点饼吧，拿饼块蘸在醋里。”路得就在收割的人旁边坐下来。波阿斯把一些烘好的麦穗递给她，她吃饱了，还有剩下的。

¹⁴And Boaz saith to her, `At meal-time come nigh hither, and thou hast eaten of the bread, and dipped thy morsel in the vinegar.` And she sitteth at the side of the reapers, and he reacheth to her roasted corn, and she eateth, and is satisfied, and leaveth.

¹⁵她再起来去捡麦穗的时候，波阿斯吩咐仆人说：“就算她在禾捆堆中捡麦穗，也不可以辱骂她。

¹⁵And she riseth to glean, and Boaz chargeth his young men, saying, `Even between the sheaves she doth glean, and ye do not cause her to blush;

¹⁶甚至要故意为她从禾捆中抽些出来，留给她去捡，千万不可责备她。”

¹⁶and also ye do surely cast to her of the handfuls — and have left, and she hath gleaned, and ye do not push against her.`

¹⁷路得把一切经过告诉拿俄米路得就这样在田里捡麦穗，直到傍晚。她把捡来的麦穗打了，约有二十二公升大麦，

¹⁷And she gleaneth in the field till the evening, and beateth out that which she hath gleaned, and it is about an ephah of barley;

¹⁸然后带回城里去。路得把捡来的麦子拿给婆婆看，把吃剩的给了婆婆。

¹⁸and she taketh [it] up, and goeth into the city, and her mother-in-law seeth that which she hath gleaned, and she bringeth out and giveth to her that which she left from her satiety.

¹⁹婆婆问她：“你今天在哪里捡麦穗？在哪里工作呢？愿那关照你的人蒙福。”路得就告诉婆婆她在谁那里工作，说：“我今天在一个名叫波阿斯的人那里工作。”

¹⁹And her mother-in-law saith to her, `Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? may he who is discerning thee be blessed.` And she declareth to her mother-in-law with whom she hath wrought, and saith, `The name of the man with whom I have wrought to-day [is] Boaz.`

²⁰拿俄米对媳妇说：“愿不断施慈爱给活人和死人的耶和华赐福给他。”拿俄米又对她说：“这个人是我们的亲人，有买赎权的一位近亲。”

²⁰And Naomi saith to her daughter-in-law, `Blessed [is] he of Jehovah who hath not forsaken His kindness with the living and with the dead;` and Naomi saith to her, `The man is a relation of ours; he [is] of our redeemers.`

²¹摩押女子路得说：“他还告诉我：‘紧跟着我的仆人捡麦穗，直到全部收割完毕。’”

²¹And Ruth the Moabitess saith, `Also he surely said unto me, Near the young people whom I have thou dost cleave till they have completed the whole of the harvest which I have.`

²²拿俄米对媳妇路得说：“我女儿啊，这样才好，要与他的女佣人一起去，免得在别人的田里遭受敌视。”

²²And Naomi saith unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, `Good, my daughter, that thou goest out with his young women, and they come not against thee in another field.`

²³她就紧跟着波阿斯的女佣人捡麦穗，直到大麦和小麦都收割好了。路得一直与婆婆住在一起。

²³And she cleaveth to the young women of Boaz to glean, till the completion of the barley-harvest, and of the wheat-harvest, and she dwelleth with her mother-in-law.
