Книга Руфи 1
1 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:
And it comes to pass, in [the] days [when] the ones judging judge, that there is a famine in the land, and there goes a man from Beth-Lehem-Judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 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.
And the name of the man [is] Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephraimites from Beth-Lehem-Judah; and they come into the fields of Moab, and are there.
3 И умре Елимелех муж Ноемминин, и остася она и оба сыны ея:
And Elimelech husband of Naomi dies, and she is left, she and her two sons;
4 и пояста себе жены Моавитския: имя единей Орфа и имя вторей Руфь: и жиша тамо до десяти лет.
and they take to them wives, Moabitesses: the name of the first [is] Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth; and they dwell there about ten years.
5 И умроста оба сыны ея, Маалон и Хелеон, и остася жена от мужа своего и от обоих сынов ея.
And they die also, both of them—Mahlon and Chilion—and the woman is left of her two children and of her husband.
6 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.
And she rises, she and her daughters-in-law, and turns back from the fields of Moab, for she has heard in the fields of Moab that God has looked after His people—to give to them bread.
7 И отиде от места, идеже бе, она и обе снохи ея с нею, и идяху в путь возвратитися в землю Иудину.
And she goes out from the place where she has been, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they go in the way to return to the land of Judah.
8 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:
And Naomi says to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return, each to the house of her mother; YHWH does with you kindness as you have done with the dead, and with me;
9 да даст Господь Бог вам обрести покой коейждо в дому мужа своего. И целова я: они же воздвигоша гласы своя и плакашася,
YHWH grants to you, and you find rest each in the house of her husband”; and she kisses them, and they lift up their voice and weep.
10 и рекоша ей: ни, но идем с тобою в люди твоя.
And they say to her, “Surely with you we go back to your people.”
11 И рече Ноемминь: обратитеся убо, дщери мои, вскую идете со мною? Или еще мне сынове во утробе моей, и будут вам мужи?
And Naomi says, “Turn back, my daughters; why do you go with me? Are there yet to me sons in my bowels that they have been to you for husbands?
12 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,
Turn back, my daughters, go, for I am too aged to be to a husband; though I had said, There is for me hope, also, I have been tonight to a husband, and also I have borne sons:
13 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.
do you wait for them until they grow up? Do you shut yourselves up for them, not to be to a husband? No, my daughters, for more bitter to me than to you, for the hand of YHWH has gone out against me.”
14 И воздвигоша гласы своя, и плакаша паки. И целова Орфа свекровь свою, и возвратися в люди своя, Руфь же последова ей.
And they lift up their voice, and weep again, and Orpah kisses her mother-in-law, and Ruth has cleaved to her.
15 И рече Ноемминь к Руфе: се, возвратися ятровь твоя к людем своим и к богом своим, возвратися убо и ты вслед ятрове своея.
And she says, “Behold, your sister-in-law has turned back to her people, and to her god, turn back after your sister-in-law.”
16 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:
And Ruth says, “Do not urge me to leave you—to turn back from after you; for to where you go I go, and where you lodge I lodge; your people [is] my people, and your God my God.
17 и идеже аще умреши, умру и тамо погребуся: тако да сотворит мне Господь, и сия да приложит, яко смерть разлучит между мною и тобою.
Where you die I die, and there I am buried; thus does YHWH to me, and thus He adds—for death itself parts between me and you.”
18 Видевши же Ноемминь, яко укрепися она ити с нею, умолче глаголати к ней ктому.
And she sees that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceases to speak to her;
19 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?
and the two of them go until their coming to Beth-Lehem; and it comes to pass at their coming to Beth-Lehem, that all the city is moved at them, and they say, “Is this Naomi?”
20 И рече к ним: не зовите убо мене Ноемминь, но зовите мене Горька: яко исполни мя горести Вседержитель зело:
And she says to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly to me,
21 аз исполнь отидох, и ныне тщу мя возврати Господь: и вскую мя нарицаете Ноемминь, Господь смири мя и Вседержитель озлоби мя?
I went out full, and YHWH has brought me back empty, why do you call me Naomi, and YHWH has testified against me, and the Almighty has done evil to me?”
22 И возвратися Ноемминь и Руфь Моавитиня сноха ея с нею, обращающыяся с села Моавля: и приидосте в Вифлеем в начале жатвы ячменя.
And Naomi turns back, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who has turned back from the fields of Moab, and they have come to Beth-Lehem at the commencement of barley-harvest.
