路得記 3
1 盧德的婆婆納敖米向她說：「我女，難道我不應為你找個安身之處，使你幸福嗎﹖
And she said to her Naomi mother-in-law her O daughter my ¿ not will I seek for you a resting place that it will go well for you.
2 如今你同他的使女常在一起的波阿次，不是我們的親人嗎﹖看，他今夜要在禾場上簸大麥，
And therefore ¿ not [is] Boaz relative our whom you were with female servants his there! he [will be] winnowing [the] threshing floor of the barley this night.
3 你去沐浴，抹油，披上你的外衣下，到禾場上去，但不要使那人認出你來，直等他吃喝完了，
And you will wash - and you will anoint yourself and you will put (garments your *Q(K)*) on yourself (and you will go down *Q(K)*) the threshing floor may not you make yourself known to the man until finishes he to eat and to drink.
4 到他睡覺的時候，你要看清他睡覺的地方；然後就去掀開他腳上的外衣，，我必依照遵行。」
And let it be when lies down he and you will take note of the place where he will lie down there and you will go and you will uncover feet his (and you will lie down *Q(k)*) and he he will tell to you [that] which (you will do! *L(abh)*)
5 盧德回答她說：「你所囑咐我的，我必依照遵行。」
And she said to her all that (you are saying to me *Q(K)*) I will do.
6 她便下到禾場上，作了她婆婆所吩咐她的事。盧德夜訪波阿次
And she went down the threshing floor and she did according to all that she had commanded her mother-in-law her.
7 波阿次吃了喝了，心中暢快，就走到麥堆旁躺下了。盧德暗暗地去掀開了他腳上的外衣，躺臥自那裏。
And he ate Boaz and he drank and it was good heart his and he went to lie down at [the] end of the heap and she came in secrecy and she uncovered feet his and she lay down.
8 到了半夜，那人驚起，往前屈身一看，見一個女人睡在他的腳旁，
And it was in [the] middle of the night and he trembled the man and he twisted and there! a woman [was] lying down feet his.
9 便問說：「你是誰」她答說：「我是你的婢女盧德，請你伸開你的衣襟，覆在你婢女身上罷! 因為你是我的至親。」
And he said who? [are] you and she said I [am] Ruth maidservant your and you will spread out skirt your over maidservant your for [are] a kinsman-redeemer you.
10 波阿次說：「我女，願你蒙上主的祝福! 你行的仁愛，後者實勝於前者，以致貧富的少年，你都沒有跟隨
And he said [be] blessed you by Yahweh O daughter my you have made good loyalty your latter more than former to not to go after the young men whether poor and or rich.
11 我女，如今你不必害怕，凡你同我所說的，我都願為你做到，因為我本城的人，都知道你是一位賢德的婦女
And therefore O daughter my may not you fear all that you are saying I will do for you for [is] knowing all [the] gate of people my that [are] a woman of ability you.
12 的確，我是你的至親，不過還有一位至親，比我更近。
And therefore for truly that (*Q(K)*) [am] a kinsman-redeemer I and also there [is] a kinsman-redeemer near more than I.
13 今夜你在這裏過夜，明早若他願意對你盡至親的義務，就由他盡好了! 如果他不願意，──上主永在! 我必對你盡至親的義務。你儘管睡到天明。盧德回報婆母
Stay - this night and it will be in the morning if he will redeem you good let him redeem and if not he will be willing to redeem you and I will redeem you I [by] [the] life of Yahweh lie down until the morning.
14 她就在他的腳旁睡到天明。在人能彼此辨別以前，她就起來了；波阿次心想：「不要叫人知道有婦女來過場上。」
And she lay down (feet his *Q(K)*) until the morning and she arose (before *Q(K)*) he recognized anyone neighbor his and he said may not it be known that she came the woman the threshing floor.
15 於是他說：「伸開你所披的外衣，雙手拿住! 」她就拿著，波阿次量了六斗大麥穗給她，放在她肩上；她就背著回城去了。
And he said give the shawl which [is] on you and take hold on it and she took hold on it and he measured out six barley and he put [it] on her and he came the city.
16 到了婆婆那裏，婆婆就問她說：「我女，事情怎樣﹖」盧德就向她述說了那人對她所作的一切；
And she came to mother-in-law her and she said who? [are] you O daughter my and she told to her all that he had done for her the man.
17 並說：「他還給了我這六斗大麥，因為他向我說：你不要空手回去見你的婆婆。」
And she said [the] six the barley these he gave to me for (he said to me *Q(K)*) may not you go empty to mother-in-law your.
18 納敖米就說：「我女，你等著罷! 看這事有什麼結果；因為這人除非今日把這事辦成，必不安心。」
And she said sit down O daughter my until that you will know! how? will it fall out a matter for not he will be at peace the man that except he has finished the matter this day.
