Ruth 1
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 Bethlehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
| وَعَمَّتْ مَجَاعَةٌ فِي الْبِلادِ فِي أَيَّامِ حُكْمِ الْقُضَاةِ، فَتَغَرَّبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ وَابْنَيْهِ. | ١ |
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 Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
| وَكَانَ اسْمُ الرَّجُلِ أَلِيمَالِكَ وَاسْمُ امْرَأَتِهِ نُعْمِي، وَاسْمَا وَلَدَيْهِ مَحْلُونَ وَكِلْيُونَ، وَهُمْ أَفْرَاتِيُّونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا، فَارْتَحَلُوا إِلَى بِلادِ مُوآبَ وَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا. | ٢ |
3 And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left, and her two sons.
| وَمَاتَ أَلِيمَالِكُ زَوْجُ نُعْمِي تَارِكاً زَوْجَتَهُ وَوَلَدَيْهِ | ٣ |
4 And they took wives for them of the women of Moab. The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth, and they dwelt there about ten years.
| اللَّذَيْنِ تَزَوَّجَا مِنِ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مُوآبِيَّتَيْنِ، اسْمُ إِحْدَاهُمَا عُرْفَةُ وَالأُخْرَى رَاعُوثُ. وَأَقَامَا هُنَاكَ نَحْوَ عَشْرِ سَنَوَاتٍ. | ٤ |
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died, both of them, and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.
| ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَحْلُونُ وَكِلْيُونُ، وَهَكَذَا فَقَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَهَا وَابْنَيْهَا وَأَصْبَحَتْ وَحِيدَةً. | ٥ |
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 Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread.
| وَسَمِعَتْ نُعْمِي وَهِيَ مَازَالَتْ فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ بَارَكَ شَعْبَهُ وَأَخْصَبَ أَرْضَهُمْ، | ٦ |
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 to the land of Judah.
| فَقَامَتْ هِيَ وَكَنَّتَاهَا وَانْطَلَقَتْ مِنْ مُوآبَ نَحْوَ بِلادِهَا، وَرَافَقَتْهَا كَنَّتَاهَا فِي طَرِيقِ الْعَوْدَةِ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا. | ٧ |
8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother's house. Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
| فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِكَنَّتَيْهَا: «هَيَّا لِتَرْجِعْ كُلٌّ مِنْكُمَا إِلَى بَيْتِ أُمِّهَا، وَلْيُبَارِكْكُمَا الرَّبُّ كَمَا أَحْسَنْتُمَا إِلَيَّ وَإِلَى زَوْجَيْكُمَا الْمُتَوَفَّيَيْنِ. | ٨ |
9 Jehovah 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 voices, and wept.
| وَلْيُنْعِمِ الرَّبُّ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا بِزِيجَةٍ أُخْرَى سَعِيدَةٍ». وَقَبَّلَتْهُمَا وَانْخَرَطْنَ جَمِيعاً فِي الْبُكَاءِ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ. | ٩ |
10 And they said to her, No, but we will return with thee to thy people.
| وَلَكِنَّهُمَا قَالَتَا لَهَا: «لا، سَنَمْضِي مَعَكِ إِلَى شَعْبِكِ». | ١٠ |
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?
| فَأَجَابَتْ نُعْمِي: «ارْجِعَا يَا ابْنَتَيَّ. لِمَاذَا تَأْتِيَانِ مَعِي؟ هَلْ أَنَا قَادِرَةٌ بَعْدُ عَلَى إِنْجَابِ بَنِينَ حَتَّى يَكْبُرُوا فَيَكُونُوا لَكُمَا زَوْجَيْنِ؟ | ١١ |
12 Turn again, my daughters. Go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope. If I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons,
| عُودَا يَا ابْنَتَيَّ، وَاذْهَبَا، فَأَنَا قَدْ شِخْتُ، وَلَمْ أَعُدْ صَالِحَةً لأَكُونَ زَوْجَةَ رَجُلٍ. وَحَتَّى لَوْ أَمَّلْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ اللَّيْلَةَ وَأُنْجِبَ بَنِينَ أَيْضاً، | ١٢ |
13 would ye therefore delay till they were grown? Would ye therefore stay from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah has gone forth against me.
| 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 |
14 And they lifted up their voices, and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
| ثُمَّ أَجْهَشْنَ ثَانِيَةً فِي الْبُكَاءِ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ. وَقَبَّلَتْ عُرْفَةُ حَمَاتَهَا وَفَارَقَتْهَا، أَمَّا رَاعُوثُ فَالْتَصَقَتْ بِها. | ١٤ |
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Return thou after thy sister-in-law.
| فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لَهَا: «هَا سِلْفَتُكِ قَدْ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى قَوْمِهَا وَآلِهَتِهَا، فَافْعَلِي أَنْتِ مِثْلَهَا». | ١٥ |
16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee, for where thou go, I will go, and where thou lodge, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
| فَأَجَابَتْهَا رَاعُوثُ: «لا تُلِحِّي عَلَيَّ كَيْ أَتْرُكَكِ وَأُفَارِقَكِ، لأَنَّهُ حَيْثُمَا ذَهَبْتِ أَذْهَبُ، وَحَيْثُمَا مَكَثْتِ أَمْكُثُ. شَعْبُكِ شَعْبِي، وَإِلَهُكِ إِلَهِي. | ١٦ |
17 Where thou die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts thee and me.
| حَيْثُمَا مُتِّ أَمُوتُ وَأُدْفَنُ. وَلْيُعَاقِبْنِي الرَّبُّ أَشَدَّ عِقَابٍ إِنْ تَخَلَّيْتُ عَنْكِ، وَلَنْ يُفَرِّقَنِي عَنْكِ سِوَى الْمَوْتِ». | ١٧ |
18 And when she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا مُصِرَّةٌ عَلَى الذَّهَابِ مَعَهَا، كَفَّتْ عَنْ مُحَاوَلَةِ إِقْنَاعِهَا بِالرُّجُوعِ. | ١٨ |
19 So those two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they came to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and the women said, Is this Naomi?
| وَتَابَعَتَا سَيْرَهُمَا حَتَّى دَخَلَتَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ، وَمَا إِنْ بَلَغَتَا الْمَدِينَةَ حَتَّى أَثَارَ رُجُوعُهُمَا أَهْلَهَا وَتَسَاءَلُوا: «أَهَذِهِ هِيَ نُعْمِي؟» | ١٩ |
20 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ: «لا تَدْعُونِي نُعْمِي بَلْ مُرَّةَ، لأَنَّ اللهَ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ مَرَّرَ حَيَاتِي. | ٢٠ |
21 I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty. Why do ye call me Naomi, seeing Jehovah has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?
| لَقَدْ خَرَجْتُ مُمْتَلِئَةً وَأَرْجَعَنِي الرَّبُّ فَارِغَةَ الْيَدَيْنِ. فَلِمَاذَا تَدْعُونَنِي نُعْمِيَ وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ أَذَلَّنِي وَالْقَدِيرُ قَدْ فَجَعَنِي؟». | ٢١ |
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
| وَهَكَذَا رَجَعَتْ نُعْمِي وَكَنَّتُهَا رَاعُوثُ الْمُوآبِيَّةُ مِنْ بِلادِ مُوآبَ، فَكَانَ وُصُولُهُمَا إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ فِي مُسْتَهَلِّ مَوْسِمِ حَصَادِ الشَّعِيرِ. | ٢٢ |
