< 路得記 1 >
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。
And it was in [the] days of [the] judging of the judges and it was a famine in the land and he went a man from Beth-lehem Judah to sojourn in [the] region of Moab he and wife his and [the] two sons his.
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。
And [the] name of the man [was] Elimelech and [the] name of wife his [was] Naomi and [the] name of [the] two sons his - [was] Mahlon and Kilion Ephrathites from Beth-lehem Judah and they came [the] region of Moab and they were 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。
And he died Elimelech [the] husband of Naomi and she was left she and [the] two sons her.
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。
And they took for themselves wives Moabite [the] name of the one [was] Orpah and [the] name of the second [was] Ruth and they dwelt 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。
And they died also both of them Mahlon and Kilion and she was left the woman from both children her and from husband her.
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。
And she arose she and daughters-in-law her and she returned from [the] region of Moab if she had heard in [the] region of Moab that he had visited Yahweh people his by giving to them food.
7 於是她和兩個兒婦起行離開所住的地方,要回猶大地去。
And she went out from the place where she had been there and [the] two daughters-in-law her [were] with her and 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!
And she said Naomi to [the] two daughters-in-law her go return [each] woman to [the] house of mother her (may he deal *Q(K)*) Yahweh with you covenant loyalty just 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,
May he give Yahweh to you and find rest [each] woman [the] house of husband her and she kissed them and they raised voice their and they wept.
And they said to her that with you we will return to people your.
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?
And she said Naomi go back O daughters my why? will you go with me ¿ still [belong] to me [do] sons in inward parts my and they will become of you 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,
Go back O daughters my go for I am [too] old for belonging to a husband if I said there for me [is] hope also I belonged this night to a husband and also I bore 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。」
¿ Therefore - will you wait until that they will grow up ¿ therefore will you shut yourselves off to not to belong to a husband may not [it be] O daughters my for it is bitter to me very more than you that it has gone forth on me [the] hand of Yahweh.
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。
And they raised voice their and they wept again and she kissed Orpah mother-in-law her and Ruth she clung to 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!」
And she said there! she has returned sister-in-law your to people her and to gods her go back after sister-in-law your.
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。
And she said Ruth may not you entreat me to abandon you to turn back from after you for to where you will go I will go and at where you will lodge I will lodge people your [will be] people my and God your [will be] God my.
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。」
At where you will die I will die and there I will be buried thus may he do Yahweh to me and thus may he add if death it will separate between me and between you.
18 拿俄米見路得定意要跟隨自己去,就不再勸她了。
And she saw that [was] determined she to go with her and she ceased to speak to 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?」
And they went [the] two of them until came they Beth-lehem and it was when came they Beth-lehem and it was excited all the city on them and they [fem] said ¿ [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。
And she said to them may not you call me Naomi call me Mara for he has caused bitterness [the] Almighty to me exceedingly.
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?」
I full I went and empty he has brought back me Yahweh why? do you call me Naomi and Yahweh he has testified against me and [the] Almighty he has done harm to 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。
And she returned Naomi and Ruth the Moabite [woman] daughter-in-law her [was] with her who returned from [the] region of Moab and they they came Beth-lehem at [the] beginning of [the] harvest of barley.
