Ruth 1

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 In the days when the Judges were governing, a famine occurred in the country and a certain man fromBethlehem of Judah went-he, his wife and his two sons -- to live in the Plains of Moab.	1 και εγενετο εν τω κρινειν τους κριτας και εγενετο λιμος εν τη γη και επορευθη ανηρ απο βαιθλεεμ της ιουδα του παροικησαι εν αγρω μωαβ αυτος και η γυνη αυτου και οι υιοι αυτου
2 The man was called Elimelech, his wife Naomi and his two sons Mahlon and Chilion; they wereEphrathites from Bethlehem of Judah. Going to the Plains of Moab, they settled there.	2 και ονομα τω ανδρι αβιμελεχ και ονομα τη γυναικι αυτου νωεμιν και ονομα τοις δυσιν υιοις αυτου μααλων και χελαιων εφραθαιοι εκ βαιθλεεμ της ιουδα και ηλθοσαν εις αγρον μωαβ και ησαν εκει
3 Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she and her two sons were left.	3 και απεθανεν αβιμελεχ ο ανηρ της νωεμιν και κατελειφθη αυτη και οι δυο υιοι αυτης
4 These married Moabite women: one was called Orpah and the other Ruth. They lived there for aboutten years.	4 και ελαβοσαν εαυτοις γυναικας μωαβιτιδας ονομα τη μια ορφα και ονομα τη δευτερα ρουθ και κατωκησαν εκει ως δεκα ετη
5 Mahlon and Chilion then both died too, and Naomi was thus bereft of her two sons and her husband.	5 και απεθανον και γε αμφοτεροι μααλων και χελαιων και κατελειφθη η γυνη απο του ανδρος αυτης και απο των δυο υιων αυτης
6 She then decided to come back from the Plains of Moab with her daughters-in-law, having heard in thePlains of Moab that God had visited his people and given them food.	6 και ανεστη αυτη και αι δυο νυμφαι αυτης και απεστρεψαν εξ αγρου μωαβ οτι ηκουσαν εν αγρω μωαβ οτι επεσκεπται κυριος τον λαον αυτου δουναι αυτοις αρτους
7 So, with her daughters-in-law, she left the place where she was living and they took the road back toJudah.	7 και εξηλθεν εκ του τοπου ου ην εκει και αι δυο νυμφαι αυτης μετ' αυτης και επορευοντο εν τη οδω του επιστρεψαι εις την γην ιουδα
8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, 'Go back, each of you to your mother's house.	8 και ειπεν νωεμιν ταις νυμφαις αυτης πορευεσθε δη αποστραφητε εκαστη εις οικον μητρος αυτης ποιησαι κυριος μεθ' υμων ελεος καθως εποιησατε μετα των τεθνηκοτων και μετ' εμου
9 May Yahweh show you faithful love, as you have done to those who have died and to me. Yahweh grantthat you may each find happiness with a husband!' She then kissed them, but they began weeping loudly,	9 δωη κυριος υμιν και ευροιτε αναπαυσιν εκαστη εν οικω ανδρος αυτης και κατεφιλησεν αυτας και επηραν την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν
10 and said, 'No, we shal go back with you to your people.'	10 και ειπαν αυτη μετα σου επιστρεφομεν εις τον λαον σου
11 'Go home, daughters,' Naomi replied. 'Why come with me? Have I any more sons in my womb to makehusbands for you?	11 και ειπεν νωεμιν επιστραφητε δη θυγατερες μου και ινα τι πορευεσθε μετ' εμου μη ετι μοι υιοι εν τη κοιλια μου και εσονται υμιν εις ανδρας
12 Go home, daughters, go, for I am now too old to marry again. Even if I said, "I stil have a hope: I shalltake a husband this very night and shal bear more sons,"	12 επιστραφητε δη θυγατερες μου διοτι γεγηρακα του μη ειναι ανδρι οτι ειπα οτι εστιν μοι υποστασις του γενηθηναι με ανδρι και τεξομαι υιους
13 would you be prepared to wait for them until they were grown up? Would you refuse to marry for theirsake? No, daughters, I am bitterly sorry for your sakes that the hand of Yahweh should have been raised againstme.'	13 μη αυτους προσδεξεσθε εως ου αδρυνθωσιν η αυτοις κατασχεθησεσθε του μη γενεσθαι ανδρι μη δη θυγατερες μου οτι επικρανθη μοι υπερ υμας οτι εξηλθεν εν εμοι χειρ κυριου
14 They started weeping loudly al over again; Orpah then kissed her mother-in-law and went back to herpeople. But Ruth stayed with her.	14 και επηραν την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν ετι και κατεφιλησεν ορφα την πενθεραν αυτης και επεστρεψεν εις τον λαον αυτης ρουθ δε ηκολουθησεν αυτη
15 Naomi then said, 'Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Go home, too;fol ow your sister-in-law.'	15 και ειπεν νωεμιν προς ρουθ ιδου ανεστρεψεν η συννυμφος σου προς λαον αυτης και προς τους θεους αυτης επιστραφητι δη και συ οπισω της συννυμφου σου
16 But Ruth said, 'Do not press me to leave you and to stop going with you, for wherever you go, I shalgo, wherever you live, I shal live. Your people will be my people, and your God wil be my God.	16 ειπεν δε ρουθ μη απαντησαι εμοι του καταλιπειν σε η αποστρεψαι οπισθεν σου οτι συ οπου εαν πορευθης πορευσομαι και ου εαν αυλισθης αυλισθησομαι ο λαος σου λαος μου και ο θεος σου θεος μου
17 Where you die, I shall die and there I shal be buried. Let Yahweh bring unnameable il s on me andworse il s, too, if anything but death should part me from you!'	17 και ου εαν αποθανης αποθανουμαι κακει ταφησομαι ταδε ποιησαι μοι κυριος και ταδε προσθειη οτι θανατος διαστελει ανα μεσον εμου και σου
18 Seeing that Ruth was determined to go with her, Naomi said no more.	18 ιδουσα δε νωεμιν οτι κραταιουται αυτη του πορευεσθαι μετ' αυτης εκοπασεν του λαλησαι προς αυτην ετι
19 The two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. Their arrival set the whole town astir, and thewomen said, 'Can this be Naomi?'	19 επορευθησαν δε αμφοτεραι εως του παραγενεσθαι αυτας εις βαιθλεεμ και ηχησεν πασα η πολις επ' αυταις και ειπον αυτη εστιν νωεμιν
20 To this she replied, 'Do not cal me Naomi, cal me Mara, for Shaddai has made my lot bitter.	20 και ειπεν προς αυτας μη δη καλειτε με νωεμιν καλεσατε με πικραν οτι επικρανθη εν εμοι ο ικανος σφοδρα
21 I departed ful , and Yahweh has brought me home empty. Why, then, call me Naomi, since Yahwehhas pronounced against me and Shaddai has made me wretched?'	21 εγω πληρης επορευθην και κενην απεστρεψεν με ο κυριος και ινα τι καλειτε με νωεμιν και κυριος εταπεινωσεν με και ο ικανος εκακωσεν με
22 This was how Naomi came home with her daughter-in-law, Ruth the Moabitess, on returning from thePlains of Moab. They arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.	22 και επεστρεψεν νωεμιν και ρουθ η μωαβιτις η νυμφη αυτης επιστρεφουσα εξ αγρου μωαβ αυται δε παρεγενηθησαν εις βαιθλεεμ εν αρχη θερισμου κριθων
