路得記 3

路得的婆婆拿俄米對她說：「女兒啊，我不當為你找個安身之處，使你享福嗎？

lù dé de pó po ná é mǐ duì tā shuō ：「 nǚ ér a ， wǒ bù dāng wèi nǐ zhǎo gè ān shēn zhī chù ， shǐ nǐ xiǎng fú ma ？

Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?

你與波阿斯的使女常在一處，波阿斯不是我們的親族嗎？他今夜在場上簸大麥；

nǐ yǔ bō ā sī de shǐ nǚ cháng zài yí chù ， bō ā sī bú shì wǒ men de qīn zú ma ？ tā jīn yè zài chǎng shàng bò dà mài ；

Now isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on the threshing floor.

你要沐浴抹膏，換上衣服，下到場上，卻不要使那人認出你來。你等他吃喝完了，

nǐ yào mù yù mǒ gāo ， huàn shàng yī fu ， xià dào chǎng shàng ， què bú yào shǐ nà rén rèn chū nǐ lái 。 nǐ děng tā chī hē wán le ，

Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor; but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

到他睡的時候，你看準他睡的地方，就進去掀開他腳上的被，躺臥在那裏，他必告訴你所當做的事。」

dào tā shuì de shí hòu ， nǐ kàn zhǔn tā shuì de dì fāng ， jiù jìn qù xiān kāi tā jiǎo shàng de bèi ， tǎng wò zài nà lǐ ， tā bì gào sù nǐ suǒ dàng zuò de shì 。」

It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall note the place where he is lying. Then you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”

路得說：「凡你所吩咐的，我必遵行。」

lù dé shuō ：「 fán nǐ suǒ fēn fù de ， wǒ bì zūn xíng 。」

She said to her, “All that you say, I will do.”

路得就下到場上，照她婆婆所吩咐她的而行。

lù dé jiù xià dào chǎng shàng ， zhào tā pó po suǒ fēn fù tā de ér xíng 。

She went down to the threshing floor, and did everything that her mother-in-law told her.

波阿斯吃喝完了，心裏歡暢，就去睡在麥堆旁邊。路得便悄悄地來掀開他腳上的被，躺臥在那裏。

bō ā sī chī hē wán le ， xīn lǐ huān chàng ， jiù qù shuì zài mài duī páng biān 。 lù dé biàn qiāo qiāo dì lái xiān kāi tā jiǎo shàng de bèi ， tǎng wò zài nà lǐ 。

When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

到了夜半，那人忽然驚醒，翻過身來，不料有女子躺在他的腳下。

dào le yè bàn ， nà rén hū rán jīng xǐng ， fān guò shēn lái ， bú liào yǒu nǚ zǐ tǎng zài tā de jiǎo xià 。

At midnight, the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.

他就說：「你是誰？」回答說：「我是你的婢女路得。求你用你的衣襟遮蓋我，因為你是我一個至近的親屬。」

tā jiù shuō ：「 nǐ shì shuí ？」 huí dá shuō ：「 wǒ shì nǐ de bì nǚ lù dé 。 qiú nǐ yòng nǐ de yī jīn zhē gài wǒ ， yīn wèi nǐ shì wǒ yí gè zhì jìn de qīn shǔ 。」

He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth your servant. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your servant; for you are a near kinsman.”

波阿斯說：「女兒啊，願你蒙耶和華賜福。你末後的恩比先前更大；因為少年人無論貧富，你都沒有跟從。

bō ā sī shuō ：「 nǚ ér a ， yuàn nǐ méng yē hé huá cì fú 。 nǐ mò hòu de ēn bǐ xiān qián gèng dà ； yīn wèi shào nián rén wú lùn pín fù ， nǐ dōu méi yǒu gēn cóng 。

He said, “You are blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you didn’t follow young men, whether poor or rich.

女兒啊，現在不要懼怕，凡你所說的，我必照着行；我本城的人都知道你是個賢德的女子。

nǚ ér a ， xiàn zài bú yào jù pà ， fán nǐ suǒ shuō de ， wǒ bì zhào zhe xíng ； wǒ běn chéng de rén dōu zhī dào nǐ shì gè xián dé de nǚ zǐ 。

Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.

我實在是你一個至近的親屬，只是還有一個人比我更近。

wǒ shí zài shì nǐ yí gè zhì jìn de qīn shǔ ， zhǐ shì hái yǒu yí gè rén bǐ wǒ gèng jìn 。

Now it is true that I am a near kinsman. However, there is a kinsman nearer than I.

你今夜在這裏住宿，明早他若肯為你盡親屬的本分，就由他吧！倘若不肯，我指着永生的耶和華起誓，我必為你盡了本分，你只管躺到天亮。」

nǐ jīn yè zài zhè lǐ zhù sù ， míng zǎo tā ruò kěn wèi nǐ jìn qīn shǔ de běn fèn ， jiù yóu tā ba ！ tǎng ruò bù kěn ， wǒ zhǐ zhe yǒng shēng de yē hé huá qǐ shì ， wǒ bì wèi nǐ jìn le běn fèn ， nǐ zhǐ guǎn tǎng dào tiān liàng 。」

Stay this night, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good. Let him do the kinsman’s duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do the duty of a kinsman for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the morning.”

路得便在他腳下躺到天快亮，人彼此不能辨認的時候就起來了。波阿斯說：「不可使人知道有女子到場上來」；

lù dé biàn zài tā jiǎo xià tǎng dào tiān kuài liàng ， rén bǐ cǐ bù néng biàn rèn de shí hòu jiù qǐ lái le 。 bō ā sī shuō ：「 bù kě shǐ rén zhī dào yǒu nǚ zǐ dào chǎng shàng lái 」；

She lay at his feet until the morning, then she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”

又對路得說：「打開你所披的外衣。」她打開了，波阿斯就撮了六簸箕大麥，幫她扛在肩上，她便進城去了。

yòu duì lù dé shuō ：「 dǎ kāi nǐ suǒ pī de wài yī 。」 tā dǎ kāi le ， bō ā sī jiù cuō le liù bò ji dà mài ， bāng tā káng zài jiān shàng ， tā biàn jìn chéng qù le 。

He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; then he went into the city.

路得回到婆婆那裏，婆婆說：「女兒啊，怎麼樣了？」路得就將那人向她所行的述說了一遍，

lù dé huí dào pó po nà lǐ ， pó po shuō ：「 nǚ ér a ， zěn me yàng le ？」 lù dé jiù jiāng nà rén xiàng tā suǒ xíng de shù shuō le yí biàn ，

When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?” She told her all that the man had done for her.

又說：「那人給了我六簸箕大麥，對我說：『你不可空手回去見你的婆婆。』」

yòu shuō ：「 nà rén gěi le wǒ liù bò ji dà mài ， duì wǒ shuō ：『 nǐ bù kě kōng shǒu huí qù jiàn nǐ de pó po 。』」

She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go empty to your mother-in-law.’”

婆婆說：「女兒啊，你只管安坐等候，看這事怎樣成就，因為那人今日不辦成這事必不休息。」

pó po shuō ：「 nǚ ér a ， nǐ zhǐ guǎn ān zuò děng hòu ， kàn zhè shì zěn yàng chéng jiù ， yīn wèi nà rén jīn rì bú bàn chéng zhè shì bì bù xiū xi 。」

Then she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know what will happen; for the man will not rest until he has settled this today.”
