Ruth 1
1 And it came to pass, in the days when the Judges administered justice, that there was a famine in the land, —and so a certain man went his way, out of Bethlehem-judah to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
| 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 out of Bethlehem-judah, —so they came into the country of Moab, and remained there.
| 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, husband of Naomi, died, —and she was left, she and her two sons.
| وَمَاتَ أَلِيمَالِكُ رَجُلُ نُعْمِي، وَبَقِيَتْ هِيَ وَٱبْنَاهَا. | ٣ |
4 And they took them wives, of the women of Moab, the name of the one, was Orpah, and, the name of the other, Ruth, —and they dwelt there, about ten years.
| فَأَخَذَا لَهُمَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ مُوآبِيَّتَيْنِ، ٱسْمُ إِحْدَاهُمَا عُرْفَةُ وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى رَاعُوثُ. وَأَقَامَا هُنَاكَ نَحْوَ عَشَرِ سِنِينٍ. | ٤ |
5 And, they also, both, died, Mahlon and Chilion, —so the woman was bereft of her two sons, and of her husband.
| ثُمَّ مَاتَا كِلَاهُمَا مَحْلُونُ وَكِلْيُونُ، فَتُرِكَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ مِنِ ٱبْنَيْهَا وَمِنْ رَجُلِهَا. | ٥ |
6 Then she arose, she and her daughters-in-law, and returned out of the country of Moab, —for she had heard, in the country of Moab, how that Yahweh had visited his people, in giving unto them, bread.
| فَقَامَتْ هِيَ وَكَنَّتَاهَا وَرَجَعَتْ مِنْ بِلَادِ مُوآبَ، لِأَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ فِي بِلَادِ مُوآبَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدِ ٱفْتَقَدَ شَعْبَهُ لِيُعْطِيَهُمْ خُبْزًا. | ٦ |
7 So she went forth out of the dwelling-place where she had remained, and her two daughters-in-law with her, —and they went on the way, to return unto the land of Judah.
| وَخَرَجَتْ مِنَ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَتْ فِيهِ وَكَنَّتَاهَا مَعَهَا، وَسِرْنَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ لِلرُّجُوعِ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا. | ٧ |
8 Then said Naomi to her two daughters-in-law: Go return, each one to the house of her mother, —Yahweh deal with you in lovingkindness, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
| فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِكَنَّتَيْهَا: «ٱذْهَبَا ٱرْجِعَا كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ أُمِّهَا. وَلْيَصْنَعِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمَا إِحْسَانًا كَمَا صَنَعْتُمَا بِٱلْمَوْتَى وَبِي. | ٨ |
9 Yahweh grant you, that ye may find a place of rest, each one in the house of her husband, —And she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
| وَلْيُعْطِكُمَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ تَجِدَا رَاحَةً كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ فِي بَيْتِ رَجُلِهَا». فَقَبَّلَتْهُمَا، وَرَفَعْنَ أَصْوَاتَهُنَّ وَبَكَيْنَ. | ٩ |
10 And they said to her, —With thee, will we return, unto thy people.
| فَقَالَتَا لَهَا: «إِنَّنَا نَرْجِعُ مَعَكِ إِلَى شَعْبِكِ». | ١٠ |
11 Then said Naomi—Go back, my daughters! wherefore should ye journey with me? Have I, yet, sons in my womb, that they should 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, go your way, for I am too old to have a husband, —If I should say, I have, hope, if I should, even to-night have a husband, and should, even bear 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 ye, therefore, tarry until they were grown? would ye, therefore, shut yourselves up from having husbands? Nay! my daughters, for it is far more bitter for me than for you, that forth hath gone against me, the hand of Yahweh.
| 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 And they lifted up their voice and wept, yet more. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in- law, but, Ruth, clave unto her.
| ثُمَّ رَفَعْنَ أَصْوَاتَهُنَّ وَبَكَيْنَ أَيْضًا. فَقَبَّلَتْ عُرْفَةُ حَمَاتَهَا، وَأَمَّا رَاعُوثُ فَلَصِقَتْ بِهَا. | ١٤ |
15 And she said—Lo! thy sister-in-law hath gone back, unto her people, and unto her gods, —go thou back, after thy sister-in-law.
| فَقَالَتْ: «هُوَذَا قَدْ رَجَعَتْ سِلْفَتُكِ إِلَى شَعْبِهَا وَآلِهَتِهَا. اِرْجِعِي أَنْتِ وَرَاءَ سِلْفَتِكِ». | ١٥ |
16 And Ruth said—Do not urge me to leave thee, to go back from following thee, —for, whither thou goest, I will go, and, where thou lodgest, I will lodge, thy people, shall be my people, and, thy 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 where thou diest, I will die, and, there, will I be buried: So, let Yahweh do to me, and, so, let him add, if, death itself, part me and thee.
| حَيْثُمَا مُتِّ أَمُوتُ وَهُنَاكَ أَنْدَفِنُ. هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِي وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ. إِنَّمَا ٱلْمَوْتُ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكِ». | ١٧ |
18 And, when she saw that, bravely determined, was she to go with her, she ceased entreating her.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا مُشَدِّدَةٌ عَلَى ٱلذَّهَابِ مَعَهَا، كَفَّتْ عَنِ ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَيْهَا. | ١٨ |
19 So, they two, went their way, until they entered Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they entered Bethlehem, that all the city was moved concerning them, and the women 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 unto them, Do not call me Naomi ["Sweet"], —call me Mara ["Bitter"], for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me:
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَدْعُونِي نُعْمِيَ بَلِ ٱدْعُونِي مُرَّةَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَمَرَّنِي جِدًّا. | ٢٠ |
21 I was full when I departed, but, empty, am I brought back of Yahweh, —wherefore should ye call me Naomi, when, Yahweh, hath given answer against me, and, the Almighty, hath crushed me?
| إِنِّي ذَهَبْتُ مُمْتَلِئَةً وَأَرْجَعَنِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَارِغَةً. لِمَاذَا تَدْعُونَنِي نُعْمِي، وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَذَلَّنِي وَٱلْقَدِيرُ قَدْ كَسَّرَنِي؟» | 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, entered Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
| فَرَجَعَتْ نُعْمِيَ وَرَاعُوثُ ٱلْمُوآبِيَّةُ كَنَّتُهَا مَعَهَا، ٱلَّتِي رَجَعَتْ مِنْ بِلَادِ مُوآبَ، وَدَخَلَتَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ حَصَادِ ٱلشَّعِيرِ. | ٢٢ |
