< Lute 3 >
1 Pea pehē ʻe Naomi ko ʻene faʻē ʻi he fono kiate ia, “ʻA ʻeku tama, ʻikai ʻoku lelei ʻeku kumi ʻae fiemālie kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke lelei ai kiate koe?
路得的婆婆拿俄米对她说:“女儿啊,我不当为你找个安身之处,使你享福吗?
2 Pea ko eni, ʻikai ko hota kāinga ʻa Poasi, ʻae kau kaunanga ʻoʻona naʻa ke ʻi ai? Vakai, ʻoku tapili paʻale ʻe ia he poōni ʻi he potu hahaʻanga.
你与波阿斯的使女常在一处,波阿斯不是我们的亲族吗?他今夜在场上簸大麦;
3 Ko ia ke ke kaukauʻi koe, pea ke tākai koe, pea ʻai ho ngaahi kofu kiate koe, pea ke ʻalu hifo ki he potu hahaʻanga: kaeʻoua naʻa ke fakahā atu koe ki he tangata, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻene kai mo inu.
你要沐浴抹膏,换上衣服,下到场上,却不要使那人认出你来。你等他吃喝完了,
4 Pea ka tokoto hifo ia, pea ʻe pehē, Ke ke vakai ki he potu ʻaia ʻoku tokoto ai ia, pea ke ʻalu ki ai, pea toʻo ʻae kafu mei hono vaʻe, pea ke tokoto hifo; pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe ʻaia te ke fai.”
到他睡的时候,你看准他睡的地方,就进去掀开他脚上的被,躺卧在那里,他必告诉你所当做的事。”
5 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke tala kiate au te u fai ia.”
路得说:“凡你所吩咐的,我必遵行。”
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia ki he potu hahaʻanga, pea ne fai ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono kiate ia.
路得就下到场上,照她婆婆所吩咐她的而行。
7 Pea hili ʻae kai mo inu ʻa Poasi, pea kuo fiemālie lahi hono loto, naʻe ʻalu ia ke tokoto ʻi hono potu ʻoe fokotuʻunga uite: pea haʻu fakaʻeteʻete pe ia, pea toʻo ʻae kafu mei hono vaʻe, pea tokoto hifo ia,
波阿斯吃喝完了,心里欢畅,就去睡在麦堆旁边。路得便悄悄地来掀开他脚上的被,躺卧在那里。
8 Pea hoko ʻo tuʻuapō, pea pehē, Kuo manavahē ʻae tangata, pea tafoki ʻe ia ia, pea vakai, ʻoku tokoto ha fefine ki hono vaʻe.
到了夜半,那人忽然惊醒,翻过身来,不料有女子躺在他的脚下。
9 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au Lute ko hoʻo kaunanga ko ia ke ke ʻai ho kafu ki hoʻo kaunanga he ko e kāinga ofi koe.”
他就说:“你是谁?”回答说:“我是你的婢女路得。求你用你的衣襟遮盖我,因为你是我一个至近的亲属。”
10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku ʻofefine, Ke monūʻia koe ʻia Sihova: he kuo ke fakahā ʻae angaʻofa lahi ʻi he kimui ʻi he kamataʻanga, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke muimui ʻi he kau talavou, pē ko ha masiva pē ko e maʻumeʻa.
波阿斯说:“女儿啊,愿你蒙耶和华赐福。你末后的恩比先前更大;因为少年人无论贫富,你都没有跟从。
11 Pea ko eni, ʻE hoku ʻofefine, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē; te u fai kiate koe ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ke tokanga ki ai: he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo hoku matapā ko e fefine angalelei koe.
女儿啊,现在不要惧怕,凡你所说的,我必照着行;我本城的人都知道你是个贤德的女子。
12 Pea ko eni, ko e moʻoni ko ho kāinga ofi au: ka ʻoku ai ha kāinga ʻe taha ʻoku ofi lahi ʻiate au.
我实在是你一个至近的亲属,只是还有一个人比我更近。
13 Tatali he poōni, pea ʻe pehē ʻi he ʻapongipongi, kapau te ne fai kiate koe ʻae ngāue ʻae kāinga, ʻoku lelei; tuku ia ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻae kāinga: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ia ʻae ngāue ʻae kāinga kiate koe, pea te u fai ʻeau ʻae ngāue ʻae kāinga kiate koe; ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova: tokoto hifo ke ʻoua ke pongipongi.”
你今夜在这里住宿,明早他若肯为你尽亲属的本分,就由他吧!倘若不肯,我指着永生的耶和华起誓,我必为你尽了本分,你只管躺到天亮。”
14 Pea naʻe tokoto ia ki hono vaʻe ke ʻoua ke pongipongi: pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi he taʻefaʻaʻilo ʻe ha taha ha taha. Pea pehē ʻe ia, Ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo naʻe haʻu ha fefine ki he potu hahaʻanga.
路得便在他脚下躺到天快亮,人彼此不能辨认的时候就起来了。波阿斯说:“不可使人知道有女子到场上来”;
15 Pea pehē ʻe ia foki, “ʻOmi kiate au ʻa ho kafu ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate koe, pea ke fakatali ia.” Pea ʻi heʻene fakatali ia, naʻa ne lingi ki ai ʻae fua paʻale ʻe ono, ʻo ne hilifaki ia kiate ia: pea naʻe ʻalu ia ki he kolo.
又对路得说:“打开你所披的外衣。”她打开了,波阿斯就撮了六簸箕大麦,帮她扛在肩上,她便进城去了。
16 Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai koe, ʻeku tama? Pea naʻa ne tala kiate ia ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe he tangata kiate ia.”
路得回到婆婆那里,婆婆说:“女儿啊,怎么样了?”路得就将那人向她所行的述说了一遍,
17 Pea pehē ʻe ia, naʻa ne tuku kiate au ʻae fua paʻale ʻe ono ni; he naʻa ne pehē kiate au, ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ngeʻesi pē ki hoʻo faʻē ʻi he fono.
又说:“那人给了我六簸箕大麦,对我说:‘你不可空手回去见你的婆婆。’”
18 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ʻeku tama, ke ke nofo fiemālie pē, ke ʻoua ke ke ʻilo pe ngata fēfē ʻae meʻa ni: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai nofo noa pē ʻae tangata, kaeʻoua ke ne fakaʻosi ʻae meʻa ni he ʻaho ni.”
婆婆说:“女儿啊,你只管安坐等候,看这事怎样成就,因为那人今日不办成这事必不休息。”
