< 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 was in [the] days of [the] judging of the judges and it was a famine in the land and he went a man from Beth-lehem Judah to sojourn in [the] region of Moab he and wife his and [the] two sons his.
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 wife his [was] Naomi and [the] name of [the] two sons his - [was] Mahlon and Kilion Ephrathites from Beth-lehem Judah and they came [the] region of Moab and they were there.
وَمَاتَ أَلِيمَالِكُ زَوْجُ نُعْمِي تَارِكاً زَوْجَتَهُ وَوَلَدَيْهِ ٣ 3
And he died Elimelech [the] husband of Naomi and she was left she and [the] two sons her.
اللَّذَيْنِ تَزَوَّجَا مِنِ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مُوآبِيَّتَيْنِ، اسْمُ إِحْدَاهُمَا عُرْفَةُ وَالأُخْرَى رَاعُوثُ. وَأَقَامَا هُنَاكَ نَحْوَ عَشْرِ سَنَوَاتٍ. ٤ 4
And they took for themselves wives Moabite [the] name of the one [was] Orpah and [the] name of the second [was] Ruth and they dwelt there about ten years.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَحْلُونُ وَكِلْيُونُ، وَهَكَذَا فَقَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَهَا وَابْنَيْهَا وَأَصْبَحَتْ وَحِيدَةً. ٥ 5
And they died also both of them Mahlon and Kilion and she was left the woman from both children her and from husband her.
وَسَمِعَتْ نُعْمِي وَهِيَ مَازَالَتْ فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ بَارَكَ شَعْبَهُ وَأَخْصَبَ أَرْضَهُمْ، ٦ 6
And she arose she and daughters-in-law her and she returned from [the] region of Moab if she had heard in [the] region of Moab that he had visited Yahweh people his by giving to them food.
فَقَامَتْ هِيَ وَكَنَّتَاهَا وَانْطَلَقَتْ مِنْ مُوآبَ نَحْوَ بِلادِهَا، وَرَافَقَتْهَا كَنَّتَاهَا فِي طَرِيقِ الْعَوْدَةِ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا. ٧ 7
And she went out from the place where she had been there and [the] two daughters-in-law her [were] with her and they went on the way to return to [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 she said Naomi to [the] two daughters-in-law her go return [each] woman to [the] house of mother her (may he deal *Q(K)*) Yahweh with you covenant loyalty just as you 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
May he give Yahweh to you and find rest [each] woman [the] house of husband her and she kissed them and they raised voice their and they wept.
وَلَكِنَّهُمَا قَالَتَا لَهَا: «لا، سَنَمْضِي مَعَكِ إِلَى شَعْبِكِ». ١٠ 10
And they said to her that with you we will return to people your.
فَأَجَابَتْ نُعْمِي: «ارْجِعَا يَا ابْنَتَيَّ. لِمَاذَا تَأْتِيَانِ مَعِي؟ هَلْ أَنَا قَادِرَةٌ بَعْدُ عَلَى إِنْجَابِ بَنِينَ حَتَّى يَكْبُرُوا فَيَكُونُوا لَكُمَا زَوْجَيْنِ؟ ١١ 11
And she said Naomi go back O daughters my why? will you go with me ¿ still [belong] to me [do] sons in inward parts my and they will become of you 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
Go back O daughters my go for I am [too] old for belonging to a husband if I said there for me [is] hope also I belonged this night to a husband and also I bore 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
¿ Therefore - will you wait until that they will grow up ¿ therefore will you shut yourselves off to not to belong to a husband may not [it be] O daughters my for it is bitter to me very more than you that it has gone forth on me [the] hand of Yahweh.
ثُمَّ أَجْهَشْنَ ثَانِيَةً فِي الْبُكَاءِ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ. وَقَبَّلَتْ عُرْفَةُ حَمَاتَهَا وَفَارَقَتْهَا، أَمَّا رَاعُوثُ فَالْتَصَقَتْ بِها. ١٤ 14
And they raised voice their and they wept again and she kissed Orpah mother-in-law her and Ruth she clung to her.
فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لَهَا: «هَا سِلْفَتُكِ قَدْ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى قَوْمِهَا وَآلِهَتِهَا، فَافْعَلِي أَنْتِ مِثْلَهَا». ١٥ 15
And she said there! she has returned sister-in-law your to people her and to gods her go back after sister-in-law your.
فَأَجَابَتْهَا رَاعُوثُ: «لا تُلِحِّي عَلَيَّ كَيْ أَتْرُكَكِ وَأُفَارِقَكِ، لأَنَّهُ حَيْثُمَا ذَهَبْتِ أَذْهَبُ، وَحَيْثُمَا مَكَثْتِ أَمْكُثُ. شَعْبُكِ شَعْبِي، وَإِلَهُكِ إِلَهِي. ١٦ 16
And she said Ruth may not you entreat me to abandon you to turn back from after you for to where you will go I will go and at where you will lodge I will lodge people your [will be] people my and God your [will be] God my.
حَيْثُمَا مُتِّ أَمُوتُ وَأُدْفَنُ. وَلْيُعَاقِبْنِي الرَّبُّ أَشَدَّ عِقَابٍ إِنْ تَخَلَّيْتُ عَنْكِ، وَلَنْ يُفَرِّقَنِي عَنْكِ سِوَى الْمَوْتِ». ١٧ 17
At where you will die I will die and there I will be buried thus may he do Yahweh to me and thus may he add if death it will separate between me and between you.
فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا مُصِرَّةٌ عَلَى الذَّهَابِ مَعَهَا، كَفَّتْ عَنْ مُحَاوَلَةِ إِقْنَاعِهَا بِالرُّجُوعِ. ١٨ 18
And she saw that [was] determined she to go with her and she ceased to speak to her.
وَتَابَعَتَا سَيْرَهُمَا حَتَّى دَخَلَتَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ، وَمَا إِنْ بَلَغَتَا الْمَدِينَةَ حَتَّى أَثَارَ رُجُوعُهُمَا أَهْلَهَا وَتَسَاءَلُوا: «أَهَذِهِ هِيَ نُعْمِي؟» ١٩ 19
And they went [the] two of them until came they Beth-lehem and it was when came they Beth-lehem and it was excited all the city on them and they [fem] said ¿ [is] this Naomi.
فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ: «لا تَدْعُونِي نُعْمِي بَلْ مُرَّةَ، لأَنَّ اللهَ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ مَرَّرَ حَيَاتِي. ٢٠ 20
And she said to them may not you call me Naomi call me Mara for he has caused bitterness [the] Almighty to me exceedingly.
لَقَدْ خَرَجْتُ مُمْتَلِئَةً وَأَرْجَعَنِي الرَّبُّ فَارِغَةَ الْيَدَيْنِ. فَلِمَاذَا تَدْعُونَنِي نُعْمِيَ وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ أَذَلَّنِي وَالْقَدِيرُ قَدْ فَجَعَنِي؟». ٢١ 21
I full I went and empty he has brought back me Yahweh why? do you call me Naomi and Yahweh he has testified against me and [the] Almighty he has done harm to me.
وَهَكَذَا رَجَعَتْ نُعْمِي وَكَنَّتُهَا رَاعُوثُ الْمُوآبِيَّةُ مِنْ بِلادِ مُوآبَ، فَكَانَ وُصُولُهُمَا إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ فِي مُسْتَهَلِّ مَوْسِمِ حَصَادِ الشَّعِيرِ. ٢٢ 22
And she returned Naomi and Ruth the Moabite [woman] daughter-in-law her [was] with her who returned from [the] region of Moab and they they came Beth-lehem at [the] beginning of [the] harvest of barley.
