路得記2:17-23

 

  2:17 這樣,路得在田間拾取麥穗,直到晚上,將所拾取的打了,約有一伊法大麥。 2:18 她就把所拾取的帶進城去給婆婆看,又把她吃飽了所剩的給了婆婆。 2:19 婆婆問她說:「你今日在哪裏拾取麥穗,在哪裏做工呢?願那顧恤你的得福。」路得就告訴婆婆說:「我今日在一個名叫波阿斯的人那裏做工。」 2:20 拿俄米對兒婦說:「願那人蒙耶和華賜福,因為他不斷地恩待活人死人」。拿俄米又說:「那是我們本族的人,是一個至近的親屬。」 2:21 摩押女子路得說:「他對我說:『你要緊隨我的僕人拾取麥穗,直等他們收完了我的莊稼。』」 2:22 拿俄米對兒婦路得說:「女兒啊,你跟著他的使女出去,不叫人遇見你在別人田間,這才為好。」 2:23 於是路得與波阿斯的使女常在一處拾取麥穗,直到收完了大麥和小麥。路得仍與婆婆同住。

  Ruth 2:17-23

New International Version (NIV)

 17 So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah.[a]18 She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gathered. Ruth also brought out and gave her what she had left over after she had eaten enough.

 19 Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you!”

   Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.

 20 “The LORD bless him!” Naomi said to her daughter-in-law. “He has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead.” She added, “That man is our close relative; he is one of our guardian-redeemers.[b]”

 21 Then Ruth the Moabite said, “He even said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they finish harvesting all my grain.’”

 22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It will be good for you, my daughter, to go with the women who work for him, because in someone else’s field you might be harmed.”

 23 So Ruth stayed close to the women of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.

Footnotes:

  1. Ruth 2:17 That is, probably about 30 pounds or about 13 kilograms
  2. Ruth 2:20 The Hebrew word for guardian-redeemer is a legal term for one who has the obligation to redeem a relative in serious difficulty (see Lev. 25:25-55).

      路得因著到波阿斯的田中撿麥穗,讓她的生命有所改變。

      在我們人生的路途中,也如路得一樣,上帝為我們安排許多的機會,等待我們一一去經歷與突破,我只要耐心等候與仰望,存著信心,上帝的愛我們就可以感受與經歷到。
