2:1 拿俄米的丈夫以利米勒的亲族中，有一个人名叫波阿斯，是个大财主。
2:1 Now Naomi had a relative on her husband’s side, from the clan of Elimelech, a man of standing, whose name was Boaz.
2:2 摩押女子路得对拿俄米说：“容我往田间去，我蒙谁的恩，就在谁的身后拾取麦穗。”拿俄米说：“女儿啊！你只管去。”
2:2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor.” Naomi said to her, “Go ahead, my daughter.”
2:3 路得就去了，来到田间，在收割的人身后拾取麦穗。她恰巧到了以利米勒本族的人波阿斯那块田里。
2:3 So she went out and began to glean in the fields behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she found herself working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
2:4 波阿斯正从伯利恒来，对收割的人说：“愿耶和华与你们同在。”他们回答说：“愿耶和华赐福与你。”
2:4 Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, “The LORD be with you!” “The LORD bless you!” they called back.
2:5 波阿斯问监管收割的仆人说：“那是谁家的女子？”
2:5 Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, “Whose young woman is that?”
2:6 监管收割的仆人回答说：“是那摩押女子，跟随拿俄米从摩押地回来的。
2:6 The foreman replied, “She is the Moabitess who came back from Moab with Naomi.
2:7 她说：‘请你容我跟着收割的人，拾取打捆剩下的麦穗。’她从早晨直到如今，除了在屋子里坐一会儿，常在这里。”
2:7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.’ She went into the field and has worked steadily from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter.”
2:8 波阿斯对路得说：“女儿啊！听我说：不要往别人田里拾取麦穗，也不要离开这里，要常与我使女们在一处。
2:8 So Boaz said to Ruth, “My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.
2:9 我的仆人在哪块田收割，你就跟着他们去。我已经吩咐仆人不可欺负你。你若渴了，就可以到器皿那里喝仆人打来的水。”
2:9 Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the girls. I have told the men not to touch you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled.”
2:10 路得就俯伏在地叩拜，对他说：“我既是外邦人，怎么蒙你的恩，这样顾恤我呢？”
2:10 At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground. She exclaimed, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me-a foreigner?”
2:11 波阿斯回答说：“自从你丈夫死后，凡你向婆婆所行的，并你离开父母和本地，到素不认识的民中，这些事人全都告诉我了。
2:11 Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband-how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before.
2:12 愿耶和华照你所行的赏赐你。你来投靠耶和华以色列 神的翅膀下，愿你满得他的赏赐。”
2:12 May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD , the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
2:13 路得说：“我主啊！愿在你眼前蒙恩，我虽然不及你的一个使女，你还用慈爱的话安慰我的心。”
2:13 “May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord,” she said. “You have given me comfort and have spoken kindly to your servant-though I do not have the standing of one of your servant girls.”
