Ruth 1
1 Now there came a time, in the days of the judges, when there was no food in the land. And a certain man went from Beth-lehem-judah, he and his wife and his two sons, to make a living-place in the country of Moab.
| حَدَثَ فِي أَيَّامِ حُكْمِ ٱلْقُضَاةِ أَنَّهُ صَارَ جُوعٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَذَهَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا لِيَتَغَرَّبَ فِي بِلَادِ مُوآبَ هُوَ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ وَٱبْنَاهُ. | 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 Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and were there for some time.
| وَٱسْمُ ٱلرَّجُلِ أَلِيمَالِكُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ نُعْمِي، وَٱسْمَا ٱبْنَيْهِ مَحْلُونُ وَكِلْيُونُ، أَفْرَاتِيُّونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا. فَأَتَوْا إِلَى بِلَادِ مُوآبَ وَكَانُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٢ |
3 And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, came to his end; and only her two sons were with her.
| وَمَاتَ أَلِيمَالِكُ رَجُلُ نُعْمِي، وَبَقِيَتْ هِيَ وَٱبْنَاهَا. | ٣ |
4 And they took two women of Moab as their wives: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth; and they went on living there for about ten years.
| فَأَخَذَا لَهُمَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ مُوآبِيَّتَيْنِ، ٱسْمُ إِحْدَاهُمَا عُرْفَةُ وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى رَاعُوثُ. وَأَقَامَا هُنَاكَ نَحْوَ عَشَرِ سِنِينٍ. | ٤ |
5 And Mahlon and Chilion came to their end; and the woman was without her two sons and her husband.
| ثُمَّ مَاتَا كِلَاهُمَا مَحْلُونُ وَكِلْيُونُ، فَتُرِكَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ مِنِ ٱبْنَيْهَا وَمِنْ رَجُلِهَا. | ٥ |
6 So she and her daughters-in-law got ready to go back from the country of Moab, for news had come to her in the country of Moab that the Lord, in mercy for his people, had given them food.
| فَقَامَتْ هِيَ وَكَنَّتَاهَا وَرَجَعَتْ مِنْ بِلَادِ مُوآبَ، لِأَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ فِي بِلَادِ مُوآبَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدِ ٱفْتَقَدَ شَعْبَهُ لِيُعْطِيَهُمْ خُبْزًا. | ٦ |
7 And she went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on their way to go back to the land of Judah.
| وَخَرَجَتْ مِنَ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَتْ فِيهِ وَكَنَّتَاهَا مَعَهَا، وَسِرْنَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ لِلرُّجُوعِ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا. | ٧ |
8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go back to your mothers' houses: may the Lord be good to you as you have been good to the dead and to me:
| فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِكَنَّتَيْهَا: «ٱذْهَبَا ٱرْجِعَا كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ أُمِّهَا. وَلْيَصْنَعِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمَا إِحْسَانًا كَمَا صَنَعْتُمَا بِٱلْمَوْتَى وَبِي. | ٨ |
9 May the Lord give you rest in the houses of your husbands. Then she gave them a kiss; and they were weeping bitterly.
| وَلْيُعْطِكُمَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ تَجِدَا رَاحَةً كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ فِي بَيْتِ رَجُلِهَا». فَقَبَّلَتْهُمَا، وَرَفَعْنَ أَصْوَاتَهُنَّ وَبَكَيْنَ. | ٩ |
10 And they said to her, No, but we will go back with you to your people.
| فَقَالَتَا لَهَا: «إِنَّنَا نَرْجِعُ مَعَكِ إِلَى شَعْبِكِ». | ١٠ |
11 But Naomi said, Go back, my daughters; why will you come with me? Have I more sons in my body, to become your husbands?
| فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي: «ٱرْجِعَا يَا بِنْتَيَّ. لِمَاذَا تَذْهَبَانِ مَعِي؟ هَلْ فِي أَحْشَائِي بَنُونَ بَعْدُ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا لَكُمَا رِجَالًا؟ | ١١ |
12 Go back, my daughters, and go on your way; I am so old now that I may not have another husband. If I said, I have hopes, if I had a husband tonight, and might have sons,
| اِرْجِعَا يَا بِنْتَيَّ وَٱذْهَبَا لِأَنِّي قَدْ شِخْتُ عَنْ أَنْ أَكُونَ لِرَجُلٍ. وَإِنْ قُلْتُ لِي رَجَاءٌ أَيْضًا بِأَنِّي أَصِيرُ هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ لِرَجُلٍ وَأَلِدُ بَنِينَ أَيْضًا، | ١٢ |
13 Would you keep yourselves till they were old enough? would you keep from having husbands for them? No, my daughters; but I am very sad for you that the hand of the Lord is against me.
| هَلْ تَصْبِرَانِ لَهُمْ حَتَّى يَكْبُرُوا؟ هَلْ تَنْحَجِزَانِ مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ عَنْ أَنْ تَكُونَا لِرَجُلٍ؟ لَا يَا بِنْتَيَّ. فَإِنِّي مَغْمُومَةٌ جِدًّا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمَا لِأَنَّ يَدَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ عَلَيَّ». | ١٣ |
14 Then again they were weeping; and Orpah gave her mother-in-law a kiss, but Ruth would not be parted from her.
| ثُمَّ رَفَعْنَ أَصْوَاتَهُنَّ وَبَكَيْنَ أَيْضًا. فَقَبَّلَتْ عُرْفَةُ حَمَاتَهَا، وَأَمَّا رَاعُوثُ فَلَصِقَتْ بِهَا. | ١٤ |
15 And Naomi said, See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods: go back after your sister-in-law.
| فَقَالَتْ: «هُوَذَا قَدْ رَجَعَتْ سِلْفَتُكِ إِلَى شَعْبِهَا وَآلِهَتِهَا. اِرْجِعِي أَنْتِ وَرَاءَ سِلْفَتِكِ». | ١٥ |
16 But Ruth said, Give up requesting me to go away from you, or to go back without you: for where you go I will go; and where you take your rest I will take my rest; your people will be my people, and your God my God.
| فَقَالَتْ رَاعُوثُ: «لَا تُلِحِّي عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَتْرُكَكِ وَأَرْجِعَ عَنْكِ، لِأَنَّهُ حَيْثُمَا ذَهَبْتِ أَذْهَبُ وَحَيْثُمَا بِتِّ أَبِيتُ. شَعْبُكِ شَعْبِي وَإِلَهُكِ إِلَهِي. | ١٦ |
17 Wherever death comes to you, death will come to me, and there will be my last resting-place; the Lord do so to me and more if we are parted by anything but death.
| حَيْثُمَا مُتِّ أَمُوتُ وَهُنَاكَ أَنْدَفِنُ. هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِي وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ. إِنَّمَا ٱلْمَوْتُ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكِ». | ١٧ |
18 And when she saw that Ruth was strong in her purpose to go with her she said no more.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا مُشَدِّدَةٌ عَلَى ٱلذَّهَابِ مَعَهَا، كَفَّتْ عَنِ ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَيْهَا. | ١٨ |
19 So the two of them went on till they came to Beth-lehem. And when they came to Beth-lehem all the town was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
| فَذَهَبَتَا كِلْتَاهُمَا حَتَّى دَخَلَتَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ. وَكَانَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ أَنَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ كُلَّهَا تَحَرَّكَتْ بِسَبَبِهِمَا، وَقَالُوا: «أَهَذِهِ نُعْمِي؟» | ١٩ |
20 And she said to them, Do not let my name be Naomi, but Mara, for the Ruler of all has given me a bitter fate.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَدْعُونِي نُعْمِيَ بَلِ ٱدْعُونِي مُرَّةَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَمَرَّنِي جِدًّا. | ٢٠ |
21 I went out full, and the Lord has sent me back again with nothing; why do you give me the name Naomi, seeing that the Lord has given witness against me, and the Ruler of all has sent sorrow on me?
| إِنِّي ذَهَبْتُ مُمْتَلِئَةً وَأَرْجَعَنِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَارِغَةً. لِمَاذَا تَدْعُونَنِي نُعْمِي، وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَذَلَّنِي وَٱلْقَدِيرُ قَدْ كَسَّرَنِي؟» | ٢١ |
22 So Naomi came back out of the country of Moab, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her; and they came to Beth-lehem in the first days of the grain-cutting.
| فَرَجَعَتْ نُعْمِيَ وَرَاعُوثُ ٱلْمُوآبِيَّةُ كَنَّتُهَا مَعَهَا، ٱلَّتِي رَجَعَتْ مِنْ بِلَادِ مُوآبَ، وَدَخَلَتَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ حَصَادِ ٱلشَّعِيرِ. | ٢٢ |
