路得记 2
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
路得在田间遇见波阿斯
2 拿娥米有一个亲戚，是她丈夫以利米勒本族的人，名叫波阿斯，是个大财主。 2 摩押女子路得对拿娥米说：“让我到田里去拾取麦穗，我在谁的眼中蒙恩，就跟在谁的身后。”拿娥米说：“女儿啊，你去吧。” 3 路得就去了。她来到田间，在收割的人身后拾取麦穗。她恰巧来到以利米勒本族的人波阿斯那块田里。 4 看哪，波阿斯正从伯利恒来，对收割的人说：“愿耶和华与你们同在！”他们对他说：“愿耶和华赐福给你！” 5 波阿斯对监督收割的仆人说：“那是谁家的女子？” 6 监督收割的仆人回答说：“她是摩押女子，跟随拿娥米从摩押地回来的。 7 她说：‘请你容许我拾取麦穗，在收割的人身后捡禾捆中掉落的麦穗。’她就来了，从早晨直到如今，除了在屋子里坐一会儿，她都留在这里。”
8 波阿斯对路得说：“女儿啊，听我说，不要到别人田里去拾取麦穗，也不要离开这里，要紧跟着我的女仆们。 9 你要看好我的仆人正在哪块田收割，就跟着女仆们去。我已经吩咐仆人不可侵犯你。你渴了，可以到水缸那里喝仆人打来的水。” 10 路得就脸伏于地叩拜，对他说：“我既是外邦女子，怎么会在你眼中蒙恩，使你这样照顾我呢？” 11 波阿斯回答她说：“自从你丈夫死后，凡你向婆婆所行的，以及你离开父母和你的出生地，到素不相识的百姓中，这些事人都告诉我了。 12 愿耶和华照你所行的报偿你。你来投靠在耶和华—以色列 神的翅膀下，愿你满得他的报偿。” 13 路得说：“我主啊，愿我在你眼前蒙恩。我虽然不及你的一个婢女，你还安慰我，对你的婢女说关心的话。”
14 吃饭的时候，波阿斯对路得说：“你到这里来吃些饼，把你的一块蘸在醋里。”路得就在收割的人旁边坐下。波阿斯把烘了的穗子递给她。她吃饱了，还有剩余的。 15 她又起来拾取麦穗，波阿斯吩咐仆人说：“她即使在禾捆中拾取麦穗，也不可羞辱她。 16 你们还要从捆里抽一些出来，留给她拾取，不可责备她。”
17 这样，路得在田间拾取麦穗，直到晚上。她把所拾取的麦穗打了约有一伊法的大麦。 18 路得把所拾取的带进城去给婆婆看，又把她吃饱所剩的拿出来，给了婆婆。 19 婆婆问她说：“你今日在哪里拾取麦穗？在哪里做工呢？愿那照顾你的得福。”路得告诉婆婆，她在谁那里做工，说：“我今日在一个名叫波阿斯的人那里做工。” 20 拿娥米对媳妇说：“愿那人蒙耶和华赐福，因为他不断地恩待活人死人。”拿娥米又对她说：“那人是我们本族的人，是一个可以赎我们产业的至亲。” 21 摩押女子路得说：“他还对我说：‘你要紧跟着我的仆人拾取麦穗，直到他们把我所有的庄稼收割完毕。’” 22 拿娥米对媳妇路得说：“女儿啊，你要跟着他的女仆出去，免得你在别人的田间受人骚扰。” 23 于是路得紧跟着波阿斯的女仆拾取麦穗，直到大麦和小麦收割完毕。路得仍与婆婆同住。

Complete Jewish Bible
2 Na‘omi had a relative on her husband’s side, a prominent and wealthy member of Elimelekh’s clan, whose name was Bo‘az. 2 Rut the woman from Mo’av said to Na‘omi, “Let me go into the field and glean ears of grain behind anyone who will allow me to.” She answered her, “Go, my daughter.” 3 So she set out, arrived at the field and gleaned behind the reapers.
She happened to be in the part of the field that belonged to Bo‘az from Elimelekh’s clan, 4 when Bo‘az arrived from Beit-Lechem. He said to the reapers, “Adonai be with you”; and they answered him, “Adonai bless you.” 5 Then Bo‘az asked his servant supervising the reapers, “Whose girl is this?” 6 The servant supervising the reapers answered, “She’s a girl from Mo’av who returned with Na‘omi from the plain of Mo’av. 7 She said, ‘Please, let me glean and gather what falls from the sheaves behind the reapers.’ So she went and has kept at it from morning until now, except for a little rest in the shelter.”
8 Bo‘az said to Rut, “Did you hear that, my daughter? Don’t go to glean in another field, don’t leave this place, but stick here with my working girls. 9 Keep your eyes on whichever field the reapers are working in, and follow the girls. I’ve ordered the young men not to bother you. Whenever you get thirsty, go and drink from the water jars the young men have filled.”
10 She fell on her face, prostrating herself, and said to him, “Why are you showing me such favor? Why are you paying attention to me? After all, I’m only a foreigner.” 11 Bo‘az answered her, “I’ve heard the whole story, everything you’ve done for your mother-in-law since your husband died, including how you left your father and mother and the land you were born in to come to a people about whom you knew nothing beforehand. 12 May Adonai reward you for what you’ve done; may you be rewarded in full by Adonai the God of Isra’el, under whose wings you have come for refuge.” 13 She said, “My lord, I hope I continue pleasing you. You have comforted and encouraged me, even though I’m not one of your servants.”
14 When meal-time came, Bo‘az said to her, “Come here, have something to eat, and dip your piece of bread in the [olive oil and] vinegar.” She sat by the reapers, and they passed her some roasted grain. She ate till she was full, and she had some left over.
15 When she got up to glean, Bo‘az ordered his young men, “Let her glean even among the sheaves themselves, without making her feel ashamed. 16 In fact, pull some ears of grain out from the sheaves on purpose. Leave them for her to glean, and don’t rebuke her.” 17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. When she beat out what she had gathered, it came to about a bushel of barley.
18 She picked it up and went back to the city. Her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and Rut brought out and gave her what she had left over after eating her fill. 19 Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today? Where were you working? Blessed be the one who took such good care of you!” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had been working; she said, “The name of the man with whom I was working today is Bo‘az.” 20 Na‘omi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Adonai, who has never stopped showing grace, neither to the living nor to the dead.” Na‘omi also told her, “The man is closely related to us; he’s one of our redeeming kinsmen.” 21 Rut the woman from Mo’av said, “Moreover, he even said to me, ‘Stay close to my young men until they’ve finished my harvest.’” 22 Na‘omi said to Rut her daughter-in-law, “It’s good, my daughter, for you to keep going out with his girls; so that you won’t encounter hostility in some other field.” 23 So she stayed close to Bo‘az’s girls to glean, until the end of the barley and wheat harvests; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
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.
