< Ruth 2 >

1 And Naomi had a relation of her husband, a man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
وَكَانَ لِنُعْمِي ذُو قَرَابَةٍ لِرَجُلِهَا، جَبَّارُ بَأْسٍ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ أَلِيمَالِكَ، ٱسْمُهُ بُوعَزُ.١
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Now let me go into the field and take up the heads of grain after him in whose eyes I may have grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
فَقَالَتْ رَاعُوثُ ٱلْمُوآبِيَّةُ لِنُعْمِي: «دَعِينِي أَذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ وَأَلْتَقِطْ سَنَابِلَ وَرَاءَ مَنْ أَجِدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْهِ». فَقَالَتْ لَهَا: «ٱذْهَبِي يَابِنْتِي».٢
3 And she went, and came and took up the heads of grain in the field after the cutters; and by chance she went into that part of the field which was the property of Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
فَذَهَبَتْ وَجَاءَتْ وَٱلْتَقَطَتْ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْحَصَّادِينَ. فَٱتَّفَقَ نَصِيبُهَا فِي قِطْعَةِ حَقْلٍ لِبُوعَزَ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ أَلِيمَالِكَ.٣
4 And Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the grain-cutters, The Lord be with you. And they made answer, The Lord give you his blessing.
وَإِذَا بِبُوعَزَ قَدْ جَاءَ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ وَقَالَ لِلْحَصَّادِينَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «يُبَارِكُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ».٤
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in authority over the cutters, Whose girl is this?
فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ لِغُلَامِهِ ٱلْمُوَكَّلِ عَلَى ٱلْحَصَّادِينَ: «لِمَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ؟»٥
6 And the servant who was in authority over the cutters said, It is a Moabite girl who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab;
فَأَجَابَ ألْغُلَامُ المُوَكَّلُ عَلَى ٱلحَصَّادِينَ وَقَالَ: «هِيَ فَتَاةٌ مُوآبِيَّةٌ قَدْ رَجَعَتْ مَعَ نُعْمِي مِنْ بِلَادِ مُوآبَ،٦
7 And she said to me, Let me come into the grain-field and take up the grain after the cutters. So she came, and has been here from morning till now, without resting even for a minute.
وَقَالَتْ: دَعُونِي أَلْتَقِطْ وَأَجْمَعْ بَيْنَ ٱلْحُزَمِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْحَصَّادِينَ. فَجَاءَتْ وَمَكَثَتْ مِنَ ٱلصَّبَاحِ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ. قَلِيلًا مَّا لَبِثَتْ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ».٧
8 Then said Boaz to Ruth, Give ear to me, my daughter: do not go to take up the grain in another field, or go away from here, but keep here by my young women:
فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ لِرَاعُوثَ: «أَلَا تَسْمَعِينَ يَابِنْتِي؟ لَا تَذْهَبِي لِتَلْتَقِطِي فِي حَقْلِ آخَرَ، وَأَيْضًا لَا تَبْرَحِي مِنْ هَهُنَا، بَلْ هُنَا لَازِمِي فَتَيَاتِي.٨
9 Keep your eyes on the field they are cutting, and go after them; have I not given orders to the young men not to put a hand on you? And when you are in need of drink go to the vessels and take of what the young men have put there.
عَيْنَاكِ عَلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي يَحْصُدُونَ وَٱذْهَبِي وَرَاءَهُمْ. أَلَمْ أُوصِ ٱلْغِلْمَانَ أَنْ لَا يَمَسُّوكِ؟ وَإِذَا عَطِشْتِ فَٱذْهَبِي إِلَى ٱلْآنِيَةِ وَٱشْرَبِي مِمَّا ٱسْتَقَاهُ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ».٩
10 Then she went down on her face to the earth, and said to him, Why have I grace in your eyes, that you give attention to me, seeing I am from a strange people?
فَسَقَطَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا وَسَجَدَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «كَيْفَ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ حَتَّى تَنْظُرَ إِلَيَّ وَأَنَا غَرِيبَةٌ؟»١٠
11 And Boaz answering said to her, I have had news of everything you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; how you went away from your father and mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people who are strange to you.
فَأَجَابَ بُوعَزُ وَقَالَ لَهَا: «إِنَّنِي قَدْ أُخْبِرْتُ بِكُلِّ مَا فَعَلْتِ بِحَمَاتِكِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ رَجُلِكِ، حَتَّى تَرَكْتِ أَبَاكِ وَأُمَّكِ وَأَرْضَ مَوْلِدِكِ وَسِرْتِ إِلَى شَعْبٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ.١١
12 The Lord give you a reward for what you have done, and may a full reward be given to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take cover.
لِيُكَافِئِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَمَلَكِ، وَلْيَكُنْ أَجْرُكِ كَامِلًا مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي جِئْتِ لِكَيْ تَحْتَمِيَ تَحْتَ جَنَاحَيْهِ».١٢
13 Then she said, May I have grace in your eyes, my lord, for you have given me comfort, and you have said kind words to your servant, though I am not like one of your servants.
فَقَالَتْ: «لَيْتَنِي أَجِدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي لِأَنَّكَ قَدْ عَزَّيْتَنِي وَطَيَّبْتَ قَلْبَ جَارِيَتِكَ، وَأَنَا لَسْتُ كَوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ جَوَارِيكَ».١٣
14 And at meal-time Boaz said to her, Come here, and take some of the bread, and put your bit into the wine. And she took her seat among the grain-cutters: and he gave her dry grain, and she took it, and there was more than enough for her meal.
فَقَالَ لَهَا بُوعَزُ: «عِنْدَ وَقْتِ ٱلْأَكْلِ تَقَدَّمِي إِلَى هَهُنَا وَكُلِي مِنَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَٱغْمِسِي لُقْمَتَكِ فِي ٱلْخَلِّ». فَجَلَسَتْ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْحَصَّادِينَ فَنَاوَلَهَا فَرِيكًا، فَأَكَلَتْ وَشَبِعَتْ وَفَضَلَ عَنْهَا.١٤
15 And when she got ready to take up the grain, Boaz gave his young men orders, saying, Let her take it even from among the cut grain, and say nothing to her.
ثُمَّ قَامَتْ لِتَلْتَقِطَ. فَأَمَرَ بُوعَزُ غِلْمَانَهُ قَائِلًا: «دَعُوهَا تَلْتَقِطْ بَيْنَ ٱلْحُزَمِ أَيْضًا وَلَا تُؤْذُوهَا.١٥
16 And let some heads of grain be pulled out of what has been corded up, and dropped for her to take, and let no sharp word be said to her.
وَأَنْسِلُوا أَيْضًا لَهَا مِنَ ٱلشَّمَائِلِ وَدَعُوهَا تَلْتَقِطْ وَلَا تَنْتَهِرُوهَا».١٦
17 So she went on getting together the heads of grain till evening; and after crushing out the seed it came to about an ephah of grain.
فَٱلْتَقَطَتْ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَخَبَطَتْ مَا ٱلْتَقَطَتْهُ فَكَانَ نَحْوَ إِيفَةِ شَعِيرٍ.١٧
18 And she took it up and went into the town; and she let her mother-in-law see what she had got, and after taking enough for herself she gave her the rest.
فَحَمَلَتْهُ وَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. فَرَأَتْ حَمَاتُهَا مَا ٱلْتَقَطَتْهُ. وَأَخْرَجَتْ وَأَعْطَتْهَا مَا فَضَلَ عَنْهَا بَعْدَ شِبَعِهَا.١٨
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, Where did you take up the grain today, and where were you working? May a blessing be on him who gave such attention to you. And she gave her mother-in-law an account of where she had been working, and said, The name of the man with whom I was working today is Boaz.
فَقَالَتْ لَهَا حَمَاتُهَا: «أَيْنَ ٱلْتَقَطْتِ ٱلْيَوْمَ؟ وَأَيْنَ ٱشْتَغَلْتِ؟ لِيَكُنِ ٱلنَّاظِرُ إِلَيْكِ مُبَارَكًا». فَأَخْبَرَتْ حَمَاتَهَا بِٱلَّذِي ٱشْتَغَلَتْ مَعَهُ وَقَالَتِ: «ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي ٱشْتَغَلْتُ مَعَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ بُوعَزُ».١٩
20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, May the blessing of the Lord, who has at all times been kind to the living and to the dead, be on him. And Naomi said to her, The man is of our family, one of our near relations.
فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِكَنَّتِهَا: «مُبَارَكٌ هُوَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتْرُكِ ٱلْمَعْرُوفَ مَعَ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ وَٱلْمَوْتَى». ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لَهَا نُعْمِي: «ٱلرَّجُلُ ذُو قَرَابَةٍ لَنَا. هُوَ ثَانِي وَلِيِّنَا».٢٠
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, Truly, he said to me, Keep near my young men till all my grain is cut.
فَقَالَتْ رَاعُوثُ ٱلْمُوآبِيَّةُ: «إِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي أَيْضًا: لَازِمِي فِتْيَانِي حَتَّى يُكَمِّلُوا جَمِيعَ حَصَادِي».٢١
22 And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, It is better, my daughter, for you to go out with his servant-girls, so that no danger may come to you in another field.
فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِرَاعُوثَ كَنَّتِهَا: «إِنَّهُ حَسَنٌ يَابِنْتِي أَنْ تَخْرُجِي مَعَ فَتَيَاتِهِ حَتَّى لَا يَقَعُوا بِكِ فِي حَقْلِ آخَرَ».٢٢
23 So she kept near the servant-girls of Boaz to take up the grain till the cutting of the early grain and the cutting of the late grain were ended; and she went on living with her mother-in-law.
فَلَازَمَتْ فَتَيَاتِ بُوعَزَ فِي ٱلِٱلْتِقَاطِ حَتَّى ٱنْتَهَى حَصَادُ ٱلشَّعِيرِ وَحَصَادُ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ. وَسَكَنَتْ مَعَ حَمَاتِهَا.٢٣
