1:1 當士師秉政的時候,國中遭遇饑荒。在猶大、伯利恆,有一個人帶著妻子和兩個兒子往摩押地去寄居。 In the days when the judges ruled, \f 1:1 Traditionally ((judged)) there was a famine in the land, and a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab.
1:2 這人名叫以利米勒,他的妻名叫拿俄米;他兩個兒子,一個名叫瑪倫,一個名叫基連,都是猶大的伯利恆的以法他人。他們到了摩押地,就住在那裏。 The man's name was Elimelech, his wife's name Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to Moab and lived there. 1:3 後來拿俄米的丈夫以利米勒死了,剩下婦人和她兩個兒子。 Now Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons. 1:4 這兩個兒子娶了摩押女子為妻,一個名叫俄珥巴,一個名叫路得,在那裏住了約有十年。 They married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years, 1:5 瑪倫和基連二人也死了,剩下拿俄米,沒有丈夫,也沒有兒子。 both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband. 1:6 她就與兩個兒婦起身,要從摩押地歸回;因為她在摩押地聽見耶和華眷顧自己的百姓,賜糧食與他們。 When she heard in Moab that the LORD had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, Naomi and her daughters-in-law prepared to return home from there. 1:7 於是她和兩個兒婦起行離開所住的地方,要回猶大地去。 With her two daughters-in-law she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road that would take them back to the land of Judah. 1:8 拿俄米對兩個兒婦說:「你們各人回娘家去吧。願耶和華恩待你們,像你們恩待已死的人與我一樣! Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, <<Go back, each of you, to your mother's home. May the LORD show kindness to you, as you have shown to your dead and to me. 1:9 願耶和華使你們各在新夫家中得平安!」於是拿俄米與她們親嘴。她們就放聲而哭, May the LORD grant that each of you will find rest in the home of another husband.>>Then she kissed them and they wept aloud 1:10 說:「不然,我們必與你一同回你本國去。」 and said to her, <<We will go back with you to your people.>> 1:11 拿俄米說:「我女兒們哪,回去吧!為何要跟我去呢?我還能生子作你們的丈夫嗎? But Naomi said, <<Return home, my daughters. Why would you come with me? Am I going to have any more sons, who could become your husbands? 1:12 我女兒們哪,回去吧!我年紀老邁,不能再有丈夫;即或說,我還有指望,今夜有丈夫可以生子, Return home, my daughters; I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was still hope for me--even if I had a husband tonight and then gave birth to sons-- 1:13 你們豈能等著他們長大呢?你們豈能等著他們不嫁別人呢?我女兒們哪,不要這樣。我為你們的緣故甚是愁苦,因為耶和華伸手攻擊我。」 would you wait until they grew up? Would you remain unmarried for them? No, my daughters. It is more bitter for me than for you, because the LORD's hand has gone out against me!>> 1:14 兩個兒婦又放聲而哭,俄珥巴與婆婆親嘴而別,只是路得捨不得拿俄米。 At this they wept again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-by, but Ruth clung to her. 1:15 拿俄米說:「看哪,你嫂子已經回她本國和她所拜的神那裏去了,你也跟著你嫂子回去吧!」 <<Look,>> said Naomi, <<your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her.>> 1:16 路得說:「不要催我回去不跟隨你。你往哪裏去,我也往那裏去;你在哪裏住宿,我也在那裏住宿;你的國就是我的國,你的 神就是我的 神。 But Ruth replied, <<Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 1:17 你在哪裏死,我也在那裏死,也葬在那裏。除非死能使你我相離!不然,願耶和華重重地降罰與我。」 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.>> 1:18 拿俄米見路得定意要跟隨自己去,就不再勸她了。 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her. 1:19 於是二人同行,來到伯利恆。她們到了伯利恆,合城的人就都驚訝。婦女們說:「這是拿俄米嗎?」 So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women exclaimed, <<Can this be Naomi?>> 1:20 拿俄米對他們說:「不要叫我拿俄米〔就是甜的意思〕,要叫我瑪拉〔就是苦的意思〕,因為全能者使我受了大苦。 <<Don't call me Naomi,>>1:20 ((Naomi)) means ((pleasant)); also in verse 21. she told them. <<Call me Mara,1:20 ((Mara)) means ((bitter.))because the Almighty 1:20 Hebrew ((Shaddai)); also in verse 21 has made my life very bitter. 1:21 我滿滿地出去,耶和華使我空空地回來。耶和華降禍與我,全能者使我受苦。既是這樣,你們為何還叫我拿俄米呢?」 I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? The LORD has afflicted 1:21 Or ((has testified against)) me; the Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.>> 1:22 拿俄米和她兒婦摩押女子路得,從摩押地回來到伯利恆,正是動手割大麥的時候。 So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest was beginning.

線上使用者荒漠甘泉五合一「用繩索把祭牲拴住,牽到壇角那裏。」詩篇一一八篇27節 讀者啊,祭壇不是在呼召我們嗎?我們不是要請求繩索把我們拴在祭壇上,使我們永遠不把我們的奉獻拿回來嗎?我們常常在生活充滿了玫瑰色光彩的時候,樂意選擇十字架;在天色灰暗的時候,就退縮了。所以如果能用繩索把我們拴住的話,多麼好呢! 主啊,求你把我們拴住,拴在十字架上,讓我們永遠不會離開它。求你用救恩的紅繩、愛的金繩、望的銀繩,把我們拴住,叫我們不能逃回舊日的寬路去,也叫我們不去羨慕別的命運─只羨慕作主痛苦悲傷中卑賤的伴侶! 讀者啊,壇角在呼召你了。你願不願意來呢?你願不願意永遠居在順從謙卑的靈中,把你自己完全奉獻給主呢? ─選 在一次野外聚會裏,有一位弟兄,願意把自己奉獻給神。他每天晚上在祭壇旁邊奉獻自己;但是每天晚上在他離開聚會以前,魔鬼就來使他相信:他並沒有感覺甚麼分別,一定是神沒有接受他的奉獻。 一次一次他這樣被仇敵擊退,最後一天晚上,他來赴會的時候,帶了一把斧頭和一根長大的木樁來。他把自己奉獻了以後,就將木樁釘入他所跪的那塊地上。當他走出會場的時候,魔鬼又來引誘他相信這一切都不過是一幕戲劇而已。 他立刻回到木樁那裏,指著木樁說:「你看,魔鬼先生,你看見那根木樁嗎?那就是我的證人—─證明神已經永遠接受了我。」魔鬼立即離開了他,這位弟兄對於這個問題,以後再沒有甚麼疑惑了。 ─微小的聲音 親愛的,如果你也受了引誘疑惑你的奉獻的話,你也可以在一個地方釘下一根木樁,讓它在神前、魔鬼前,做一個證人說,你已經永遠解決了這個問題。 你是否在尋求幸福, 而無處可遇? 只要聽取主的吩咐, 就會找到門路。 你是否在爭取得救, 而焦急祈求, 不必爭取, 只要信靠, 就會被神收留。 你的祈求懇切熱心, 卻遲遲不見回音, 把你的祈求變為讚美, 答應就會到臨。 你無從領會神的美滿, 除非你能放擔息肩, 把你的一切交託給神, 纔可領會完全。 ─心靈之歌
