Ruth 1

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
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 حدث في ايام حكم القضاة انه صار جوع في الارض فذهب رجل من بيت لحم يهوذا ليتغرب في بلاد موآب هو وامرأته وابناه.
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 واسم الرجل أليمالك واسم امرأته نعمي واسما ابنيه محلون وكليون. افراتيون من بيت لحم يهوذا فأتوا الى بلاد موآب وكانوا هناك.
3 Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she and her two sons were left.	3 ومات أليمالك رجل نعمي وبقيت هي وابناها.
4 These married Moabite women: one was called Orpah and the other Ruth. They lived there for aboutten years.	4 فأخذا لهما امرأتين موآبيتين اسم احداهما عرفة واسم الاخرى راعوث واقاما هناك نحو عشر سنين.
5 Mahlon and Chilion then both died too, and Naomi was thus bereft of her two sons and her husband.	5 ثم ماتا كلاهما محلون وكليون فتركت المرأة من ابنيها ومن رجلها
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 فقامت هي وكنتاها ورجعت من بلاد موآب لانها سمعت في بلاد موآب ان الرب قد افتقد شعبه ليعطيهم خبزا.
7 So, with her daughters-in-law, she left the place where she was living and they took the road back toJudah.	7 وخرجت من المكان الذي كانت فيه وكنتاها معها وسرن في الطريق للرجوع الى ارض يهوذا.
8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, 'Go back, each of you to your mother's house.	8 فقالت نعمي لكنتيها اذهبا ارجعا كل واحدة الى بيت امها. وليصنع الرب معكما احسانا كما صنعتما بالموتى وبي.
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 وليعطكما الرب ان تجدا راحة كل واحدة في بيت رجلها. فقبّلتهما ورفعن اصواتهنّ وبكين.
10 and said, 'No, we shal go back with you to your people.'	10 فقالتا لها اننا نرجع معك الى شعبك.
11 'Go home, daughters,' Naomi replied. 'Why come with me? Have I any more sons in my womb to makehusbands for you?	11 فقالت نعمي ارجعا يا بنتيّ. لماذا تذهبان معي. هل في احشائي بنون بعد حتى يكونوا لكما رجالا.
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 ارجعا يا بنتي واذهبا لاني قد شخت عن ان اكون لرجل. وان قلت لي رجاء ايضا باني اصير هذه الليلة لرجل وألد بنين ايضا
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 هل تصبران لهم حتى يكبروا. هل تنحجزان من اجلهم عن ان تكونا لرجل. لا يا بنتيّ فاني مغمومة جدا من اجلكما لان يد الرب قد خرجت عليّ.
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 ثم رفعن اصواتهنّ وبكين ايضا. فقبّلت عرفة حماتها واما راعوث فلصقت بها.
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 فقالت هوذا قد رجعت سلفتك الى شعبها وآلهتها. ارجعي انت وراء سلفتك.
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 فقالت راعوث لا تلحّي عليّ ان اتركك وارجع عنك لانه حيثما ذهبت اذهب وحيثما بتّ ابيت. شعبك شعبي والهك الهي.
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 حيثما مت اموت وهناك اندفن. هكذا يفعل الرب بي وهكذا يزيد. انما الموت يفصل بيني وبينك.
18 Seeing that Ruth was determined to go with her, Naomi said no more.	18 فلما رأت انها مشدّدة على الذهاب معها كفّت عن الكلام اليها
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 فذهبتا كلتاهما حتى دخلتا بيت لحم وكان عند دخولهما بيت لحم ان المدينة كلها تحرّكت بسببهما وقالوا أهذه نعمي.
20 To this she replied, 'Do not cal me Naomi, cal me Mara, for Shaddai has made my lot bitter.	20 فقالت لهم لا تدعوني نعمي بل ادعوني مرّة لان القدير قد أمرّني جدا.
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 اني ذهبت ممتلئة وارجعني الرب فارغة لماذا تدعونني نعمي والرب قد اذلّني والقدير قد كسّرني.
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 فرجعت نعمي وراعوث الموآبية كنتها معها التي رجعت من بلاد موآب ودخلتا بيت لحم في ابتداء حصاد الشعير
