路得記 2
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
路得在田間遇見波阿斯
2 拿娥米有一個親戚，是她丈夫以利米勒本族的人，名叫波阿斯，是個大財主。 2 摩押女子路得對拿娥米說：「讓我到田裏去拾取麥穗，我在誰的眼中蒙恩，就跟在誰的身後。」拿娥米說：「女兒啊，你去吧。」 3 路得就去了。她來到田間，在收割的人身後拾取麥穗。她恰巧來到以利米勒本族的人波阿斯那塊田裏。 4 看哪，波阿斯正從伯利恆來，對收割的人說：「願耶和華與你們同在！」他們對他說：「願耶和華賜福給你！」 5 波阿斯對監督收割的僕人說：「那是誰家的女子？」 6 監督收割的僕人回答說：「她是摩押女子，跟隨拿娥米從摩押地回來的。 7 她說：『請你容許我拾取麥穗，在收割的人身後撿禾捆中掉落的麥穗。』她就來了，從早晨直到如今，除了在屋子裏坐一會兒，她都留在這裏。」
8 波阿斯對路得說：「女兒啊，聽我說，不要到別人田裏去拾取麥穗，也不要離開這裏，要緊跟着我的女僕們。 9 你要看好我的僕人正在哪塊田收割，就跟着女僕們去。我已經吩咐僕人不可侵犯你。你渴了，可以到水缸那裏喝僕人打來的水。」 10 路得就臉伏於地叩拜，對他說：「我既是外邦女子，怎麼會在你眼中蒙恩，使你這樣照顧我呢？」 11 波阿斯回答她說：「自從你丈夫死後，凡你向婆婆所行的，以及你離開父母和你的出生地，到素不相識的百姓中，這些事人都告訴我了。 12 願耶和華照你所行的報償你。你來投靠在耶和華—以色列 神的翅膀下，願你滿得他的報償。」 13 路得說：「我主啊，願我在你眼前蒙恩。我雖然不及你的一個婢女，你還安慰我，對你的婢女說關心的話。」
14 吃飯的時候，波阿斯對路得說：「你到這裏來吃些餅，把你的一塊蘸在醋裏。」路得就在收割的人旁邊坐下。波阿斯把烘了的穗子遞給她。她吃飽了，還有剩餘的。 15 她又起來拾取麥穗，波阿斯吩咐僕人說：「她即使在禾捆中拾取麥穗，也不可羞辱她。 16 你們還要從捆裏抽一些出來，留給她拾取，不可責備她。」
17 這樣，路得在田間拾取麥穗，直到晚上。她把所拾取的麥穗打了約有一伊法的大麥。 18 路得把所拾取的帶進城去給婆婆看，又把她吃飽所剩的拿出來，給了婆婆。 19 婆婆問她說：「你今日在哪裏拾取麥穗？在哪裏做工呢？願那照顧你的得福。」路得告訴婆婆，她在誰那裏做工，說：「我今日在一個名叫波阿斯的人那裏做工。」 20 拿娥米對媳婦說：「願那人蒙耶和華賜福，因為他不斷地恩待活人死人。」拿娥米又對她說：「那人是我們本族的人，是一個可以贖我們產業的至親。」 21 摩押女子路得說：「他還對我說：『你要緊跟着我的僕人拾取麥穗，直到他們把我所有的莊稼收割完畢。』」 22 拿娥米對媳婦路得說：「女兒啊，你要跟着他的女僕出去，免得你在別人的田間受人騷擾。」 23 於是路得緊跟着波阿斯的女僕拾取麥穗，直到大麥和小麥收割完畢。路得仍與婆婆同住。
Ruth 2
New King James Version
Ruth Meets Boaz
2 There was a (A)relative of Naomi’s husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of (B)Elimelech. His name was (C)Boaz. 2 So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the (D)field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor.”
And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
3 Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 Now behold, Boaz came from (E)Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, (F)“The Lord be with you!”
And they answered him, “The Lord bless you!”
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”
6 So the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered and said, “It is the young Moabite woman (G)who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. 7 And she said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came and has continued from morning until now, though she rested a little in the house.”
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women. 9 Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn.”
10 So she (H)fell on her face, bowed down to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found (I)favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?”
11 And Boaz answered and said to her, “It has been fully reported to me, (J)all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know before. 12 (K)The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, (L)under whose wings you have come for refuge.”
13 Then she said, (M)“Let me find favor in your sight, my lord; for you have comforted me, and have spoken [a]kindly to your maidservant, (N)though I am not like one of your maidservants.”
14 Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, “Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.” So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed parched grain to her; and she ate and (O)was satisfied, and kept some back. 15 And when she rose up to [b]glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not [c]reproach her. 16 Also let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her; leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of (P)barley. 18 Then she took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. So she brought out and gave to her (Q)what she had kept back after she had been satisfied.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? And where did you work? Blessed be the one who (R)took notice of you.”
So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
20 Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, (S)“Blessed be he of the Lord, who (T)has not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead!” And Naomi said to her, “This man is a relation of ours, (U)one of [d]our close relatives.”
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also said to me, ‘You shall stay close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’ ”
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not [e]meet you in any other field.” 23 So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
Ruth 2
King James Version
2 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they answered him, The Lord bless thee.
5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:
9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
12 The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
13 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
14 And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.
15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
16 And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
19 And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
20 And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
