< Ruth 1 >

1 And it came to pass when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land: and a man went from Bethleem Juda to sojourn in the land of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
И бысть внегда судяху судии, бысть глад на земли. И иде муж от Вифлеема Иудина обитати в селе Моавли, сам и жена его, и два сыны его:
2 And the man's name [was] Elimelech, and his wife's name Noemin, and the names of his two sons Maalon and Chelaion, Ephrathites of Bethleem of Juda: and they came to the land of Moab, and remained there.
имя же мужеви Елимелех, имя же жене его Ноемминь и имя двема сынома его Маалон и Хелеон, Ефрафейстии от Вифлеема Иудина. И приидоша в село Моавле, и беша тамо.
3 And Elimelech the husband of Noemin died; and she was left, and her two sons.
И умре Елимелех муж Ноемминин, и остася она и оба сыны ея:
4 And they took to themselves wives, women of Moab; the name of the one [was] Orpha, and the name of the second Ruth; and they lived there about ten years.
и пояста себе жены Моавитския: имя единей Орфа и имя вторей Руфь: и жиша тамо до десяти лет.
5 And both Maalon and Chelaion died also; and the woman was left of her husband and her two sons.
И умроста оба сыны ея, Маалон и Хелеон, и остася жена от мужа своего и от обоих сынов ея.
6 And she rose up and her two daughters-in-law, and they returned out of the country of Moab, for she heard in the country of Moab that the Lord [had] visited his people to give them bread.
И воста она и обе снохи ея, и возвратишася с села Моавля: зане услыша на селе Моавли, яко присети Господь людий Своих дати им хлебы.
7 And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her: and they went by the way to return to the land of Juda.
И отиде от места, идеже бе, она и обе снохи ея с нею, и идяху в путь возвратитися в землю Иудину.
8 And Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Go now, return each to the house of her mother: the Lord deal mercifully with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
И рече Ноемминь обема снохама своима: идите убо, возвратитеся каяждо в дом отца своего: да сотворит Господь с вами милость, якоже сотвористе со умершими и со мною:
9 The Lord grant you that you may find rest each of you in the house of her husband: and she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
да даст Господь Бог вам обрести покой коейждо в дому мужа своего. И целова я: они же воздвигоша гласы своя и плакашася,
10 And they said to her, We will return with you to your people.
и рекоша ей: ни, но идем с тобою в люди твоя.
11 And Noemin said, Return now, my daughters; and why do you go with me? have I yet sons in my womb to be your husbands?
И рече Ноемминь: обратитеся убо, дщери мои, вскую идете со мною? Или еще мне сынове во утробе моей, и будут вам мужи?
12 Turn now, my daughters, for I am too old to be married: for I said, Suppose I were married, and should bear sons;
Возвратитеся убо, дщери мои и отидите, яко состарехся, и не буду мужу: аще же бых и рекла, яко у мене есть надежда, да буду мужу и рожду сыны,
13 would you wait for them till they should be grown? or would you refrain from being married for their sakes? Not so, my daughters; for I am grieved for you, that the hand of the Lord has gone forth against me.
вы ли пождете их, дондеже возрастут? И вы ли удержитеся, да не будете иному мужу? Ни, дщери мои, яко горько бысть мне паче вас, яко изыде на мя рука Господня.
14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again; and Orpha kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her people; but Ruth followed her.
И воздвигоша гласы своя, и плакаша паки. И целова Орфа свекровь свою, и возвратися в люди своя, Руфь же последова ей.
15 And Noemin said to Ruth, Behold, your sister-in-law has returned to her people and to her gods; turn now you also after your sister-in-law.
И рече Ноемминь к Руфе: се, возвратися ятровь твоя к людем своим и к богом своим, возвратися убо и ты вслед ятрове своея.
16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave you, or to return from following you; for wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people [shall be] my people, and your God my God.
И рече Руфь: не срящи мене то, еже оставити тебе или обратитися мне от тебе, но идеже идеши ты, и аз пойду, и идеже водворишися ты, водворюся и аз: людие твои людие мои, и Бог твой Бог мой:
17 And wherever you die, I will die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, [if I leave you], for death [only] shall divide between me and you.
и идеже аще умреши, умру и тамо погребуся: тако да сотворит мне Господь, и сия да приложит, яко смерть разлучит между мною и тобою.
18 And Noemin seeing that she was determined to go with her, ceased to speak to her any more.
Видевши же Ноемминь, яко укрепися она ити с нею, умолче глаголати к ней ктому.
19 And they went both of them until they came to Bethleem: and it came to pass, when they arrived at Bethleem, that all the city rang with them, and they said, Is this Noemin?
Идосте же обе, дондеже приидосте в Вифлеем. И бысть егда приидосте они в Вифлеем, и возгласи весь град о них, и рекоша: еда сия есть Ноемминь?
20 And she said to them, Nay, do not call me Noemin; call me 'Bitter,' for the Mighty One has dealt very bitterly with me.
И рече к ним: не зовите убо мене Ноемминь, но зовите мене Горька: яко исполни мя горести Вседержитель зело:
21 I went out full, and the Lord has brought me back empty: and why call you me Noemin, whereas the Lord has humbled me and the Mighty One has afflicted me?
аз исполнь отидох, и ныне тщу мя возврати Господь: и вскую мя нарицаете Ноемминь, Господь смири мя и Вседержитель озлоби мя?
22 So Noemin and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab; and they came to Bethleem in the beginning of barley harvest.
И возвратися Ноемминь и Руфь Моавитиня сноха ея с нею, обращающыяся с села Моавля: и приидосте в Вифлеем в начале жатвы ячменя.
