Ruth 1
1 It happened in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. 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 The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Kilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. 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 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 for themselves wives from the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years.
| اللَّذَيْنِ تَزَوَّجَا مِنِ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مُوآبِيَّتَيْنِ، اسْمُ إِحْدَاهُمَا عُرْفَةُ وَالأُخْرَى رَاعُوثُ. وَأَقَامَا هُنَاكَ نَحْوَ عَشْرِ سَنَوَاتٍ. | ٤ |
5 Mahlon and Kilion both died, and the woman was bereaved 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 the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
| وَسَمِعَتْ نُعْمِي وَهِيَ مَازَالَتْ فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ بَارَكَ شَعْبَهُ وَأَخْصَبَ أَرْضَهُمْ، | ٦ |
7 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 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you 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 The LORD grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband." Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
| وَلْيُنْعِمِ الرَّبُّ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا بِزِيجَةٍ أُخْرَى سَعِيدَةٍ». وَقَبَّلَتْهُمَا وَانْخَرَطْنَ جَمِيعاً فِي الْبُكَاءِ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ. | ٩ |
10 They said to her, "No, but we will return with you to your people."
| وَلَكِنَّهُمَا قَالَتَا لَهَا: «لا، سَنَمْضِي مَعَكِ إِلَى شَعْبِكِ». | ١٠ |
11 Naomi said, "Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have 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 Go back, 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 you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of the LORD has gone out 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 They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her people, but Ruth clung to her.
| ثُمَّ أَجْهَشْنَ ثَانِيَةً فِي الْبُكَاءِ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ. وَقَبَّلَتْ عُرْفَةُ حَمَاتَهَا وَفَارَقَتْهَا، أَمَّا رَاعُوثُ فَالْتَصَقَتْ بِها. | ١٤ |
15 She said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.
| فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لَهَا: «هَا سِلْفَتُكِ قَدْ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى قَوْمِهَا وَآلِهَتِهَا، فَافْعَلِي أَنْتِ مِثْلَهَا». | ١٥ |
16 Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay; your people shall be my people, and your 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 you die, will I die, and there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me."
| حَيْثُمَا مُتِّ أَمُوتُ وَأُدْفَنُ. وَلْيُعَاقِبْنِي الرَّبُّ أَشَدَّ عِقَابٍ إِنْ تَخَلَّيْتُ عَنْكِ، وَلَنْ يُفَرِّقَنِي عَنْكِ سِوَى الْمَوْتِ». | ١٧ |
18 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 they two went until they came to Bethlehem. It happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they asked, "Is this Naomi?"
| وَتَابَعَتَا سَيْرَهُمَا حَتَّى دَخَلَتَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ، وَمَا إِنْ بَلَغَتَا الْمَدِينَةَ حَتَّى أَثَارَ رُجُوعُهُمَا أَهْلَهَا وَتَسَاءَلُوا: «أَهَذِهِ هِيَ نُعْمِي؟» | ١٩ |
20 She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Marah; for Shaddai 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 the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and Shaddai 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 at 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 |
