< Ruth 2 >
1 And [belonged] to Naomi (a relative *Q(K)*) of husband her a man mighty of wealth from [the] clan of Elimelech and name his [was] Boaz.
納敖米的丈夫厄里默肋客家族中有個親人,是有錢有勢的人,名叫波阿次。
2 And she said Ruth the Moabite [woman] to Naomi let me go please the field (so I may glean *L(ah+b)*) (among the ears of grain *L(abh)*) behind [the one] whom I will find favor in view his and she said to her go O daughter my.
摩阿布女子盧德對納敖米說:「讓我到田裏去,我在誰眼中蒙恩,就在誰後面拾麥穗。」納敖米答應她說:「我女,你去罷! 」
3 And she went and she came and she gleaned in the field behind the harvesters and it chanced on chance her [the] portion of the field of Boaz who [was] from [the] clan of Elimelech.
她就去了,來到田間,在收割人的後面拾麥穗。可巧,她正來到了厄里默肋客家族人波阿次的田地裏。
4 And there! Boaz [was] coming from Beth-lehem and he said to the harvesters Yahweh [be] with you and they said to him may he bless you Yahweh.
當時波阿次也正從白冷來到,向收割的人說:「願上主與你們同在! 」他們回答他說:「願上主祝福你! 」
5 And he said Boaz to servant his who was appointed over the harvesters [belongs] to whom? the young woman this.
波阿次問監督收割的僕人說:「這是誰家的女子﹖」
6 And he answered the servant who was appointed over the harvesters and he said [is] a young woman Moabite she who returned with Naomi from [the] region of Moab.
監督收割的僕人答說:「是那由摩阿布鄉間與納敖米歸來的摩阿布女子。
7 And she said let me glean please and I will gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters and she came and she has stayed from then this morning and until now this sitting she the house little.
她事先請求過:請讓我在收割的人後面拾取麥穗。她來到這裏,從早晨到現在,從未休息片刻。」波阿次厚待盧德
8 And he said Boaz to Ruth ¿ not have you heard O daughter my may not you go to glean in a field another and also not you must pass on from this [field] and thus you will stay! with female servants my.
波阿次對盧德說:「我女,你聽我的話,你不要到別人的田裏去拾取,也不要離開這裏,要常同我的使女在一起。
9 Eyes your [be] on the field which they are harvesting! (and you will go *L(abh)*) behind them ¿ not have I commanded the young men to not to touch you and you will be thirsty and you will go to the vessels and you will drink some of [that] which they will draw! the young men.
你看僕人們在那塊田裏收割,你就跟著去,我已吩咐了僕人們不要難為你。你渴了,可到水罐那裏去喝僕人打來的水。」
10 And she fell on face her and she bowed down [the] ground towards and she said to him why? have I found favor in view your to pay regard to me (and I *L(abh)*) [am] a foreigner.
盧德遂俯首至地,向他下拜說:「我怎樣竟蒙你如此垂青,眷顧我這外方的女子﹖」
11 And he answered Boaz and he said to her certainly it has been told to me all that you have done with mother-in-law your after [the] death of husband your and you left (father your *L(abh)*) and mother your and [the] land of kindred your and you came to a people which not you knew yesterday three days ago.
波阿次答覆她說:「自你丈夫死後,你怎樣待了你的婆婆,以及你怎樣離開了你的父母和故鄉,來到這素不相識的民族中;這一切事,人家都一一告訴了我。
12 May he reward Yahweh deed[s] your and may it be wage[s] your complete from with Yahweh [the] God of Israel whom you have come to take refuge under wings his.
願上主報答你的功德,願你投奔於他翼下的上主,以色列的天主,賜與你的報答是豐富的! 」
13 And she said I am finding favor in view your O lord my for you have comforted me and for you have spoken to [the] heart of maidservant your and I not I am like one of maidservants your.
盧德答說:「我主,我連你的一個婢女都不如,竟在你眼裏蒙恩,你竟安慰我,對你的婢女說出這樣動心的話! 」
14 And he said to her Boaz to [the] time of the meal approach here and you will eat some of the food and you will dip portion your in the vinegar and she sat down from [the] side of the harvesters and he held out to her roasted grain and she ate and she was satisfied and she had excess.
到了吃飯的時候,波阿次對她說:「你上前來吃餅,將你的餅浸在酸酒裏。」她就坐在收割的人旁,波阿次遞給了她烘焙的麥遂;她吃了,也吃飽了,還有剩下的。
15 And she arose to glean and he commanded Boaz servants his saying also between the sheaves she will glean and not you must humiliate her.
當她起來再拾取麥穗的時候,波阿次吩咐他的僕人說:「就連她在麥捆中拾取,你們有不要為難她;
16 And also indeed you will pull out for her some of the bundles of grain and you will leave [them] and she will glean and not you must rebuke her.
並且要從麥梱中,為她抽出些來,留下讓她拾取,不要叱責她。」
17 And she gleaned in the field until the evening and she beat out [that] which she had gleaned and it was about an ephah barley.
她在田間拾取麥穗,直到晚上,將所拾的打了約有「一厄法」大麥。盧德回家
18 And she lifted [it] up and she went the city and she saw mother-in-law her [that] which she had gleaned and she took [it] out and she gave to her [that] which she had left over from abundance her.
她就背著回城去,教她婆婆看看她的收獲;又將吃飽後剩下的東西,拿出來給了她。
19 And she said to her mother-in-law her where? did you glean this day and where? did you work may he be [the one who] paid regard to you blessed and she told to mother-in-law her whom she had worked with him and she said [the] name of the man whom I worked with him this day [is] Boaz.
她的婆婆問她說:「你今天在那裏拾麥穗,在那裏工作﹖願那眷顧你的人家蒙受祝福! 」她就告訴她婆婆,她在誰那裏工作,並且說:「我今天在他那裏工作的人,名叫波阿次。」
20 And she said Naomi to daughter-in-law her [be] blessed he by Yahweh who not he has forsaken covenant loyalty his with the living and with the dead and she said to her Naomi [is] near to us the man [is] one of kinsman-redeemer[s] our he.
納敖米對她的兒媳說:「願那位從未忘卻對生者死者施慈愛的上主祝福這人! 」納敖米又向她說:「這人是我們的親人,且是有至親義務的人。」
21 And she said Ruth the Moabite [woman] also - that he said to me with the servants who [belong] to me you will stay! until they have completed all the harvest which [belongs] to me.
摩阿布女子盧德接著說:「並且他還對我說過:你要常同我的僕人在一起,直到收完我的莊稼。」
22 And she said Naomi to Ruth daughter-in-law her [is] good O daughter my that you will go out with female servants his and not people will molest you in a field another.
納敖米向自己的兒媳盧德說:「我女,你更好跟著他的使女去罷! 免得在別人的田裏受難為。」
23 And she stayed with [the] female servants of Boaz to glean until was complete [the] harvest of the barley and [the] harvest of the wheat and she dwelt with mother-in-law her.
盧德就緊隨著波阿次的使女拾麥穗,直到收完了大麥和小麥。盧德時常與自己的婆婆住在一起。
