2:1 拿俄米的丈夫以利米勒的親族中,有一個人名叫波阿斯,是個大財主。
2:2
摩押女子路得對拿俄米說:「容我往田間去,我蒙誰的恩,就在誰的身後拾取麥穗。」拿俄米說:「女兒啊,你只管去。」
2:3
路得就去了,來到田間,在收割的人身後拾取麥穗。她恰巧到了以利米勒本族的人波阿斯那塊田裡。
2:4
波阿斯正從伯利恆來,對收割的人說:「願耶和華與你們同在!」他們回答說:「願耶和華賜福與你!」
2:5 波阿斯問監管收割的僕人說:「那是誰家的女子?」
2:6 監管收割的僕人回答說:「是那摩押女子,跟隨拿俄米從摩押地回來的。
2:7
她說:『請你容我跟著收割的人拾取打捆剩下的麥穗。』她從早晨直到如今,除了在屋子裡坐一會兒,常在這裡。」
2:8
波阿斯對路得說:「女兒啊,聽我說,不要往別人田裡拾取麥穗,也不要離開這裡,要常與我使女們在一處。
2:9
我的僕人在那塊田收割,你就跟著他們去。我已經吩咐僕人不可欺負你;你若渴了,就可以到器皿那裡喝僕人打來的水。」
2:10 路得就俯伏在地叩拜,對他說:「我既是外邦人,怎麼蒙你的恩,這樣顧恤我呢?」
2:11
波阿斯回答說:「自從你丈夫死後,凡你向婆婆所行的,並你離開父母和本地,到素不認識的民中,這些事人全都告訴我了。
2:12 願耶和華照你所行的賞賜你。你來投靠耶和華─以色列神的翅膀下,願你滿得他的賞賜。」
2:13
路得說:「我主啊,願在你眼前蒙恩。我雖然不及你的一個使女,你還用慈愛的話安慰我的心。」

2:1 拿娥美有一個親族,名叫波阿斯,既有錢又有地位,是她丈夫以利米勒的親族。
2:2 有一天,路得對拿娥美說:「讓我到田裏去撿人家掉落的麥穗,我一定會遇到一個肯善待我的人。」拿娥美說:「你去吧,女兒。」
2:3 於是路得到田裏去,跟在收割工人背後撿掉下的麥穗。正巧路得撿麥穗的這塊田是波阿斯的。
2:4 不久,波阿斯從伯利恆來;他向收割工人問安說:「上主與你們同在!」他們回答:「上主賜福給你!」
2:5 波阿斯問領班:「那是誰家的女孩子?」
2:6 他回答:「她就是跟拿娥美從摩押回來的那個外國女子。
2:7 她要求我讓她跟在工人後頭撿麥穗。她一大早就開始工作,現在剛停下來,在涼棚下休息。」
2:8 波阿斯就去對路得說:「聽我說,小姑娘,你不用到別人田裏去撿麥穗,就留在這裏跟女工一起。
2:9 看男工到哪裏收割,你就跟著女工撿取。我已經吩咐我的男工不可欺負你。你渴了,就到水罐那裏喝他們打來的水。」
2:10 路得向波阿斯下拜,伏在地上,說:「你為甚麼待我這麼好?這麼關心我這一個外國人?」
2:11
波阿斯說:「你丈夫死後,你對婆婆的種種孝行,我都聽見了。我知道你怎樣離開了父母和自己的鄉土,怎樣來住在這一個陌生的民族中。
2:12 願上主照你所做的報答你。願以色列的上帝─你所投靠的上主厚厚地賞賜你!」
2:13 路得回答:「先生,你對我真好!雖然我連作你的婢女也不配,你還這樣用親切的話安慰我。」
思想問題:當弟兄姊妹有需要或軟弱時,我會做什麼來表達關心?

RSV
2:1 Now Na'omi had a kinsman of her husband's, a
man of wealth, of the family of Elim'elech, whose name was Bo'az.
2:2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Na'omi,
"Let me go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in
whose sight I shall find favor." And she said to her, "Go, my daughter."
2:3 So she set forth and went and gleaned in
the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the part of the
field belonging to Bo'az, who was of the family of Elim'elech.
2:4 And behold, Bo'az came from Bethlehem; and
he said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you!" And they answered, "The
LORD bless you."
2:5 Then Bo'az said to his servant who was in
charge of the reapers, "Whose maiden is this?"
2:6 And the servant who was in charge of the
reapers answered, "It is the Moabite maiden, who came back with Na'omi
from the country of Moab.
2:7 She said, `Pray, let me glean and gather
among the sheaves after the reapers.' So she came, and she has continued
from early morning until now, without resting even for a moment."
2:8 Then Bo'az said to Ruth, "Now, listen, my
daughter, do not go to glean in another field or leave this one, but
keep close to my maidens.
2:9 Let your eyes be upon the field which they
are reaping, and go after them. Have I not charged the young men not to
molest you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink what
the young men have drawn."
2:10 Then she fell on her face, bowing to the
ground, and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you
should take notice of me, when I am a foreigner?"
2:11 But Bo'az answered her, "All that you
have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband has
been fully told me, and how you left your father and mother and your
native land and came to a people that you did not know before.
2:12 The LORD recompense you for what you
have done, and a full reward be given you by the LORD, the God of
Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge!"
2:13 Then she said, "You are most gracious to
me, my lord, for you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your
maidservant, though I am not one of your maidservants."
