Rut (راعوث) 1

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 حدث في ايام حكم القضاة انه صار جوع في الارض فذهب رجل من بيت لحم يهوذا ليتغرب في بلاد موآب هو وامرأته وابناه.	1 Once in the time of the judges there was a famine in the land; so a man from Bethlehem of Judah departed with his wife and two sons to reside on the plateau of Moab.
2 واسم الرجل أليمالك واسم امرأته نعمي واسما ابنيه محلون وكليون. افراتيون من بيت لحم يهوذا فأتوا الى بلاد موآب وكانوا هناك.	2 The man was named Elimelech, his wife Naomi, and his sons Mahlon and Chilion; they were Ephrathites from Bethlehem of Judah. Some time after their arrival on the Moabite plateau,
3 ومات أليمالك رجل نعمي وبقيت هي وابناها.	3 Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she was left with her two sons,
4 فأخذا لهما امرأتين موآبيتين اسم احداهما عرفة واسم الاخرى راعوث واقاما هناك نحو عشر سنين.	4 who married Moabite women, one named Orpah, the other Ruth. When they had lived there about ten years,
5 ثم ماتا كلاهما محلون وكليون فتركت المرأة من ابنيها ومن رجلها	5 both Mahlon and Chilion died also, and the woman was left with neither her two sons nor her husband.
6 فقامت هي وكنتاها ورجعت من بلاد موآب لانها سمعت في بلاد موآب ان الرب قد افتقد شعبه ليعطيهم خبزا.	6 She then made ready to go back from the plateau of Moab because word reached her there that the LORD had visited his people and given them food.
7 وخرجت من المكان الذي كانت فيه وكنتاها معها وسرن في الطريق للرجوع الى ارض يهوذا.	7 She and her two daughters-in-law left the place where they had been living. Then as they were on the road back to the land of Judah,
8 فقالت نعمي لكنتيها اذهبا ارجعا كل واحدة الى بيت امها. وليصنع الرب معكما احسانا كما صنعتما بالموتى وبي.	8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go back, each of you, to your mother's house! May the LORD be kind to you as you were to the departed and to me!
9 وليعطكما الرب ان تجدا راحة كل واحدة في بيت رجلها. فقبّلتهما ورفعن اصواتهنّ وبكين.	9 May the LORD grant each of you a husband and a home in which you will find rest." She kissed them good-bye, but they wept with loud sobs,
10 فقالتا لها اننا نرجع معك الى شعبك.	10 and told her they would return with her to her people.
11 فقالت نعمي ارجعا يا بنتيّ. لماذا تذهبان معي. هل في احشائي بنون بعد حتى يكونوا لكما رجالا.	11 "Go back, my daughters!" said Naomi. "Why should you come with me? Have I other sons in my womb who may become your husbands?
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	12 Go back, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to marry again. And even if I could offer any hopes, or if tonight I had a husband or had borne sons,
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.	13 would you then wait and deprive yourselves of husbands until those sons grew up? No, my daughters! my lot is too bitter for you, because the LORD has extended his hand against me."
14 ثم رفعن اصواتهنّ وبكين ايضا. فقبّلت عرفة حماتها واما راعوث فلصقت بها.	14 Again they sobbed aloud and wept; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye, but Ruth stayed with her.
15 فقالت هوذا قد رجعت سلفتك الى شعبها وآلهتها. ارجعي انت وراء سلفتك.	15 "See now!" she said, "your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her god. Go back after your sister-in-law!"
16 فقالت راعوث لا تلحّي عليّ ان اتركك وارجع عنك لانه حيثما ذهبت اذهب وحيثما بتّ ابيت. شعبك شعبي والهك الهي.	16 But Ruth said, "Do not ask me to abandon or forsake you! for wherever you go I will go, wherever you lodge I will lodge, your people shall be my people, and your God my God.
17 حيثما مت اموت وهناك اندفن. هكذا يفعل الرب بي وهكذا يزيد. انما الموت يفصل بيني وبينك.	17 Wherever you die I will die, and there be buried. May the LORD do so and so to me, and more besides, if aught but death separates me from you!"
18 فلما رأت انها مشدّدة على الذهاب معها كفّت عن الكلام اليها	18 Naomi then ceased to urge her, for she saw she was determined to go with her.
19 فذهبتا كلتاهما حتى دخلتا بيت لحم وكان عند دخولهما بيت لحم ان المدينة كلها تحرّكت بسببهما وقالوا أهذه نعمي.	19 So they went on together till they reached Bethlehem. On their arrival there, the whole city was astir over them, and the women asked, "Can this be Naomi?"
20 فقالت لهم لا تدعوني نعمي بل ادعوني مرّة لان القدير قد أمرّني جدا.	20 But she said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has made it very bitter for me.
21 اني ذهبت ممتلئة وارجعني الرب فارغة لماذا تدعونني نعمي والرب قد اذلّني والقدير قد كسّرني.	21 I went away with an abundance, but the LORD has brought me back destitute. Why should you call me Naomi, since the LORD has pronounced against me and the Almighty has brought evil upon me?"
22 فرجعت نعمي وراعوث الموآبية كنتها معها التي رجعت من بلاد موآب ودخلتا بيت لحم في ابتداء حصاد الشعير	22 Thus it was that Naomi returned with the Moabite daughter-in-law, Ruth, who accompanied her back from the plateau of Moab. They arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
