< Ruth 2 >

1 And Noemin had [a friend] an acquaintance of her husband, and the man [was] a mighty man of the kindred of Elimelech, and his name [was] Booz.
وَكَانَ لِنُعْمِي ذُو قَرَابَةٍ لِرَجُلِهَا، جَبَّارُ بَأْسٍ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ أَلِيمَالِكَ، ٱسْمُهُ بُوعَزُ.١
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Noemin, Let me go now to the field, and I will glean amongst the ears behind the man with whoever I shall find favour: and she said to her, Go, 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 gleaned in the field behind the reapers; and she happened by chance to come on a portion of the land of Booz, of the kindred of Elimelech.
فَذَهَبَتْ وَجَاءَتْ وَٱلْتَقَطَتْ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْحَصَّادِينَ. فَٱتَّفَقَ نَصِيبُهَا فِي قِطْعَةِ حَقْلٍ لِبُوعَزَ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ أَلِيمَالِكَ.٣
4 And, behold, Booz came from Bethleem, and said to the reapers, The Lord [be] with you: and they said to him, The Lord bless you.
وَإِذَا بِبُوعَزَ قَدْ جَاءَ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ وَقَالَ لِلْحَصَّادِينَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «يُبَارِكُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ».٤
5 And Booz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose [is] this damsel?
فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ لِغُلَامِهِ ٱلْمُوَكَّلِ عَلَى ٱلْحَصَّادِينَ: «لِمَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ؟»٥
6 And his servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel who returned with Noemin out of the land of Moab.
فَأَجَابَ ألْغُلَامُ المُوَكَّلُ عَلَى ٱلحَصَّادِينَ وَقَالَ: «هِيَ فَتَاةٌ مُوآبِيَّةٌ قَدْ رَجَعَتْ مَعَ نُعْمِي مِنْ بِلَادِ مُوآبَ،٦
7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather amongst the sheaves after the reapers: and she came and stood from morning till evening, and rested not [even] a little in the field.
وَقَالَتْ: دَعُونِي أَلْتَقِطْ وَأَجْمَعْ بَيْنَ ٱلْحُزَمِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْحَصَّادِينَ. فَجَاءَتْ وَمَكَثَتْ مِنَ ٱلصَّبَاحِ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ. قَلِيلًا مَّا لَبِثَتْ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ».٧
8 And Booz said to Ruth, Hast you not heard, [my] daughter? go not to glean in another field; and depart not you hence, join yourself here with my damsels.
فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ لِرَاعُوثَ: «أَلَا تَسْمَعِينَ يَابِنْتِي؟ لَا تَذْهَبِي لِتَلْتَقِطِي فِي حَقْلِ آخَرَ، وَأَيْضًا لَا تَبْرَحِي مِنْ هَهُنَا، بَلْ هُنَا لَازِمِي فَتَيَاتِي.٨
9 [Let] your eyes [be] on the field where [my men] shall reap, and you shall go after them: behold, I have charged the young men not to touch you: and when you shall thirst, then you shall go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men shall have drawn.
عَيْنَاكِ عَلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي يَحْصُدُونَ وَٱذْهَبِي وَرَاءَهُمْ. أَلَمْ أُوصِ ٱلْغِلْمَانَ أَنْ لَا يَمَسُّوكِ؟ وَإِذَا عَطِشْتِ فَٱذْهَبِي إِلَى ٱلْآنِيَةِ وَٱشْرَبِي مِمَّا ٱسْتَقَاهُ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ».٩
10 And she fell upon her face, and did reverence to the ground, and said to him, How is it that I have found grace in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, whereas I am a stranger?
فَسَقَطَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا وَسَجَدَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «كَيْفَ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ حَتَّى تَنْظُرَ إِلَيَّ وَأَنَا غَرِيبَةٌ؟»١٠
11 And Booz answered and said to her, It has fully been told me how you have dealt with your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; and how you did leave your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and came to a people whom you knew not before.
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 recompense your work; may a full reward be given you of the Lord God of Israel, to whom you have come to trust under his wings.
لِيُكَافِئِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَمَلَكِ، وَلْيَكُنْ أَجْرُكِ كَامِلًا مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي جِئْتِ لِكَيْ تَحْتَمِيَ تَحْتَ جَنَاحَيْهِ».١٢
13 And she said, Let me find grace in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, and behold, I shall be as 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 Booz said to her, Now [it is] time to eat; come here, and you shall eat of the bread, and you shall dip your morsel in the vinegar: and Ruth sat by the side of the reapers: and Booz handed her meal, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.
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 she rose up to glean; and Booz charged his young men, saying, Let her even glean amongst the sheaves, and reproach her not.
ثُمَّ قَامَتْ لِتَلْتَقِطَ. فَأَمَرَ بُوعَزُ غِلْمَانَهُ قَائِلًا: «دَعُوهَا تَلْتَقِطْ بَيْنَ ٱلْحُزَمِ أَيْضًا وَلَا تُؤْذُوهَا.١٥
16 And do you by all means carry it for her, and you shall surely let fall for her some of that which is heaped up; and let her eat, and glean, and rebuke her not.
وَأَنْسِلُوا أَيْضًا لَهَا مِنَ ٱلشَّمَائِلِ وَدَعُوهَا تَلْتَقِطْ وَلَا تَنْتَهِرُوهَا».١٦
17 So she gleaned in the field till evening, and beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barely.
فَٱلْتَقَطَتْ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَخَبَطَتْ مَا ٱلْتَقَطَتْهُ فَكَانَ نَحْوَ إِيفَةِ شَعِيرٍ.١٧
18 And she took [it] up, and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and Ruth brought forth and gave to her the food which she had left from what she had been satisfied with.
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 have you gleaned today, and where have you wrought? blessed be he that took notice of you. And Ruth told her mother-in-law where she [had] wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought today [is] Booz.
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 Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed is he of the Lord, because he has not failed in his mercy with the living and with the dead: and Noemin said to her, The man is near akin to us, he is one of our 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 said to her mother-in-law, Yes, he said also to me, Keep close to my damsels, until the men shall have finished all my reaping.
فَقَالَتْ رَاعُوثُ ٱلْمُوآبِيَّةُ: «إِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي أَيْضًا: لَازِمِي فِتْيَانِي حَتَّى يُكَمِّلُوا جَمِيعَ حَصَادِي».٢١
22 And Noemin said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, [It is] well, daughter, that you went out with his damsels; thus they shall not meet you in another field.
فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِرَاعُوثَ كَنَّتِهَا: «إِنَّهُ حَسَنٌ يَابِنْتِي أَنْ تَخْرُجِي مَعَ فَتَيَاتِهِ حَتَّى لَا يَقَعُوا بِكِ فِي حَقْلِ آخَرَ».٢٢
23 And Ruth joined herself to the damsels of Booz to glean until they had finished the barley harvest and the wheat harvest.
فَلَازَمَتْ فَتَيَاتِ بُوعَزَ فِي ٱلِٱلْتِقَاطِ حَتَّى ٱنْتَهَى حَصَادُ ٱلشَّعِيرِ وَحَصَادُ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ. وَسَكَنَتْ مَعَ حَمَاتِهَا.٢٣
