路得記 3	Ruth 3
路得記 3:1 ^ 路得的婆婆拿俄米對他說、女兒阿、我不當為你找個安身之處、使你享福麼．	Ruth 3:1 ^ And Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, My daughter, am I not to get you a resting-place where you may be in comfort?
路得記 3:2 ^ 你與波阿斯的使女常在一處、波阿斯不是我們的親族麼．他今夜在場上簸大麥、	Ruth 3:2 ^ And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor.
路得記 3:3 ^ 你要沐浴抹膏、換上衣服、下到場上、卻不要使那人認出你來、你等他喫喝完了、	Ruth 3:3 ^ So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.
路得記 3:4 ^ 到他睡的時候、你看準他睡的地方、就進去掀開他腳上的被、躺臥在那裡、他必告訴你所當作的事。	Ruth 3:4 ^ But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do.
路得記 3:5 ^ 路得說、凡你所吩咐的我必遵行。	Ruth 3:5 ^ And she said, I will do all you say.
路得記 3:6 ^ 路得就下到場上、照他婆婆所吩咐他的而行。	Ruth 3:6 ^ So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.
路得記 3:7 ^ 波阿斯喫喝完了、心裡歡暢、就去睡在麥堆旁邊．路得便悄悄的來掀開他腳上的被、躺臥在那裡。	Ruth 3:7 ^ Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest.
路得記 3:8 ^ 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．	Ruth 3:8 ^ Now in the middle of the night, the man awaking from his sleep in fear, and lifting himself up, saw a woman stretched at his feet.
路得記 3:9 ^ 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。	Ruth 3:9 ^ And he said, Who are you? And she answering said, I am your servant Ruth: take your servant as wife, for you are a near relation.
路得記 3:10 ^ 波阿斯說、女兒阿、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．	Ruth 3:10 ^ And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth.
路得記 3:11 ^ 女兒阿、現在不要懼怕、凡你所說的、我必照著行、我本城的人都知道你是個賢德的女子。	Ruth 3:11 ^ And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.
路得記 3:12 ^ 我實在是你一個至近的親屬、只是還有一個人比我更近。	Ruth 3:12 ^ Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.
路得記 3:13 ^ 你今夜在這裡住宿、明早他若肯為你盡親屬的本分、就由他罷．倘若不肯、我指著永生的耶和華起誓、我必為你盡了本分、你只管躺到天亮。	Ruth 3:13 ^ Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so.
路得記 3:14 ^ 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．	Ruth 3:14 ^ And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor.
路得記 3:15 ^ 又對路得說、打開你所披的外衣、他打開了、波阿斯就撮了六簸箕大麥、幫他扛在肩上、他便進城去了。	Ruth 3:15 ^ And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.
路得記 3:16 ^ 路得回到婆婆那裡、婆婆說、女兒阿、怎麼樣了．路得就將那人向他所行的述說了一遍。	Ruth 3:16 ^ And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.
路得記 3:17 ^ 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。	Ruth 3:17 ^ And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.
路得記 3:18 ^ 婆婆說、女兒阿、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。	Ruth 3:18 ^ Then she said, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through.
