< راعُوث 1 >
وَعَمَّتْ مَجَاعَةٌ فِي الْبِلادِ فِي أَيَّامِ حُكْمِ الْقُضَاةِ، فَتَغَرَّبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ وَابْنَيْهِ. | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
وَكَانَ اسْمُ الرَّجُلِ أَلِيمَالِكَ وَاسْمُ امْرَأَتِهِ نُعْمِي، وَاسْمَا وَلَدَيْهِ مَحْلُونَ وَكِلْيُونَ، وَهُمْ أَفْرَاتِيُّونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا، فَارْتَحَلُوا إِلَى بِلادِ مُوآبَ وَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا. | ٢ 2 |
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
وَمَاتَ أَلِيمَالِكُ زَوْجُ نُعْمِي تَارِكاً زَوْجَتَهُ وَوَلَدَيْهِ | ٣ 3 |
And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
اللَّذَيْنِ تَزَوَّجَا مِنِ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مُوآبِيَّتَيْنِ، اسْمُ إِحْدَاهُمَا عُرْفَةُ وَالأُخْرَى رَاعُوثُ. وَأَقَامَا هُنَاكَ نَحْوَ عَشْرِ سَنَوَاتٍ. | ٤ 4 |
And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَحْلُونُ وَكِلْيُونُ، وَهَكَذَا فَقَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَهَا وَابْنَيْهَا وَأَصْبَحَتْ وَحِيدَةً. | ٥ 5 |
And Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.
وَسَمِعَتْ نُعْمِي وَهِيَ مَازَالَتْ فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ بَارَكَ شَعْبَهُ وَأَخْصَبَ أَرْضَهُمْ، | ٦ 6 |
Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
فَقَامَتْ هِيَ وَكَنَّتَاهَا وَانْطَلَقَتْ مِنْ مُوآبَ نَحْوَ بِلادِهَا، وَرَافَقَتْهَا كَنَّتَاهَا فِي طَرِيقِ الْعَوْدَةِ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا. | ٧ 7 |
And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.
فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِكَنَّتَيْهَا: «هَيَّا لِتَرْجِعْ كُلٌّ مِنْكُمَا إِلَى بَيْتِ أُمِّهَا، وَلْيُبَارِكْكُمَا الرَّبُّ كَمَا أَحْسَنْتُمَا إِلَيَّ وَإِلَى زَوْجَيْكُمَا الْمُتَوَفَّيَيْنِ. | ٨ 8 |
And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each of you to her mother’s house: the LORD deal kindly with you as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
وَلْيُنْعِمِ الرَّبُّ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا بِزِيجَةٍ أُخْرَى سَعِيدَةٍ». وَقَبَّلَتْهُمَا وَانْخَرَطْنَ جَمِيعاً فِي الْبُكَاءِ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ. | ٩ 9 |
The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
وَلَكِنَّهُمَا قَالَتَا لَهَا: «لا، سَنَمْضِي مَعَكِ إِلَى شَعْبِكِ». | ١٠ 10 |
And they said unto her, Nay, but we will return with thee unto thy people.
فَأَجَابَتْ نُعْمِي: «ارْجِعَا يَا ابْنَتَيَّ. لِمَاذَا تَأْتِيَانِ مَعِي؟ هَلْ أَنَا قَادِرَةٌ بَعْدُ عَلَى إِنْجَابِ بَنِينَ حَتَّى يَكْبُرُوا فَيَكُونُوا لَكُمَا زَوْجَيْنِ؟ | ١١ 11 |
And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
عُودَا يَا ابْنَتَيَّ، وَاذْهَبَا، فَأَنَا قَدْ شِخْتُ، وَلَمْ أَعُدْ صَالِحَةً لأَكُونَ زَوْجَةَ رَجُلٍ. وَحَتَّى لَوْ أَمَّلْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ اللَّيْلَةَ وَأُنْجِبَ بَنِينَ أَيْضاً، | ١٢ 12 |
Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should even have an husband to-night, and should also bear sons;
فَهَلْ تَنْتَظِرَانِ حَتَّى يَكْبُرُوا؟ وَهَلْ تَمْتَنِعَانِ عَنِ الزَّوَاجِ مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ؟ لَا يَا ابْنَتَيَّ، فَإِنَّنِي حَزِينَةٌ جِدّاً مِنْ أَجْلِكُمَا لأَنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ عَاقَبَتْنِي فَأَصَابَكُمَا الضَّرَرُ أَيْضاً». | ١٣ 13 |
would ye therefore tarry till they were grown? would ye therefore stay from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes, for the hand of the LORD is gone forth against me.
ثُمَّ أَجْهَشْنَ ثَانِيَةً فِي الْبُكَاءِ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ. وَقَبَّلَتْ عُرْفَةُ حَمَاتَهَا وَفَارَقَتْهَا، أَمَّا رَاعُوثُ فَالْتَصَقَتْ بِها. | ١٤ 14 |
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لَهَا: «هَا سِلْفَتُكِ قَدْ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى قَوْمِهَا وَآلِهَتِهَا، فَافْعَلِي أَنْتِ مِثْلَهَا». | ١٥ 15 |
And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god: return thou after thy sister in law.
فَأَجَابَتْهَا رَاعُوثُ: «لا تُلِحِّي عَلَيَّ كَيْ أَتْرُكَكِ وَأُفَارِقَكِ، لأَنَّهُ حَيْثُمَا ذَهَبْتِ أَذْهَبُ، وَحَيْثُمَا مَكَثْتِ أَمْكُثُ. شَعْبُكِ شَعْبِي، وَإِلَهُكِ إِلَهِي. | ١٦ 16 |
And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
حَيْثُمَا مُتِّ أَمُوتُ وَأُدْفَنُ. وَلْيُعَاقِبْنِي الرَّبُّ أَشَدَّ عِقَابٍ إِنْ تَخَلَّيْتُ عَنْكِ، وَلَنْ يُفَرِّقَنِي عَنْكِ سِوَى الْمَوْتِ». | ١٧ 17 |
where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.
فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا مُصِرَّةٌ عَلَى الذَّهَابِ مَعَهَا، كَفَّتْ عَنْ مُحَاوَلَةِ إِقْنَاعِهَا بِالرُّجُوعِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left speaking unto her.
وَتَابَعَتَا سَيْرَهُمَا حَتَّى دَخَلَتَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ، وَمَا إِنْ بَلَغَتَا الْمَدِينَةَ حَتَّى أَثَارَ رُجُوعُهُمَا أَهْلَهَا وَتَسَاءَلُوا: «أَهَذِهِ هِيَ نُعْمِي؟» | ١٩ 19 |
So they two went until they came to Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and [the women] said, Is this Naomi?
فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ: «لا تَدْعُونِي نُعْمِي بَلْ مُرَّةَ، لأَنَّ اللهَ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ مَرَّرَ حَيَاتِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
لَقَدْ خَرَجْتُ مُمْتَلِئَةً وَأَرْجَعَنِي الرَّبُّ فَارِغَةَ الْيَدَيْنِ. فَلِمَاذَا تَدْعُونَنِي نُعْمِيَ وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ أَذَلَّنِي وَالْقَدِيرُ قَدْ فَجَعَنِي؟». | ٢١ 21 |
I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
وَهَكَذَا رَجَعَتْ نُعْمِي وَكَنَّتُهَا رَاعُوثُ الْمُوآبِيَّةُ مِنْ بِلادِ مُوآبَ، فَكَانَ وُصُولُهُمَا إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ فِي مُسْتَهَلِّ مَوْسِمِ حَصَادِ الشَّعِيرِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
