Ruth 2

1 Now Naomi had a relative on her husband’s side, a prominent man of noble character from the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.

1 وَكَانَ لِنُعْمِي قَرِيبٌ وَاسِعُ الثَّرَاءِ وَالنُّفُوذِ، مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ أَلِيمَالِكَ زَوْجِهَا، اسْمُهُ بُوعَزُ.

2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go into the fields and glean heads of grain after someone in whose sight I may find favor.” “Go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied.

2 فَقَالَتْ رَاعُوثُ الْمُوآبِيَّةُ لِنُعْمِي: «دَعِينِي أَذْهَبُ إِلَى الْحَقْلِ وَأَلْتَقِطُ السَّنَابِلَ الْمُتَخَلِّفَةَ عَنْ أَيِّ وَاحِدٍ أَحْظَى بِرِضَاهُ». فَأَجَابَتْهَا: «اذْهَبِي يَا ابْنَتِي»

3 So Ruth departed and went out into the field and gleaned after the harvesters. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.

3 فَمَضَتْ إِلَى حَقْلٍ وَشَرَعَتْ تَلْتَقِطُ السَّنَابِلَ وَرَاءَ الْحَصَّادِينَ.

4 Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and said to the harvesters, “The LORD be with you.” “The LORD bless you,” they replied.

4 وَاتَّفَقَ أَنَّ قِطْعَةَ الْحَقْلِ الَّتِي رَاحَتْ رَاعُوثُ تَلْتَقِطُ مِنْهَا السَّنَابِلَ، كَانَتْ مِلْكاً لِبُوعَزَ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ أَلِيمَالِكَ.

5 And Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, “Whose young woman is this?”

5 وَجَاءَ بُوعَزُ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ وَقَالَ لِلْحَصَّادِينَ: «الرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ». فَأَجَابُوهُ «يُبَارِكُكَ الرَّبُّ».

6 The foreman answered, “She is the Moabitess who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.

6 فَسَأَلَ بُوعَزُ غُلَامَهُ الْمُشْرِفَ عَلَى الْحَصَّادِينَ: «مَنْ هَذِهِ الْفَتَاةُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «هِيَ فَتَاةٌ مُوآبِيَّةٌ، رَجَعَتْ مَعْ نُعْمِي مِنْ بِلادِ مُوآبَ.

7 She has said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the harvesters.’ So she came out and has continued from morning until now, except that she rested a short time in the shelter.”

7 وَطَلَبَتْ قَائِلَةً: دَعُونِي أَلْتَقِطُ وَأَجْمَعُ السَّنَابِلَ الْمُتَسَاقِطَةَ بَيْنَ الْحُزَمِ وَرَاءَ الْحَصَّادِينَ، وَقَدْ ظَلَّتْ تَلْتَقِطُ مِنَ الصَّبَاحِ إِلَى الآنَ، لَمْ تَسْتَرِحْ فِي الظِّلِّ إِلّا قَلِيلاً».

8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Do not go and glean in another field, and do not go away from this place, but stay here close to my servant girls.

8 فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ لِرَاعُوثَ: «اسْتَمِعِي يَا ابْنَتِي، امْكُثِي هُنَا لِتَلْتَقِطِي السَّنَابِلَ وَلا تَذْهَبِي إِلَى حَقْلٍ آخَرَ، وَلازِمِي فَتَيَاتِي الْعَامِلاتِ فِيهِ.

9 Let your eyes be on the field they are harvesting, and follow along after these girls. Indeed, I have ordered the young men not to touch you. And when you are thirsty, go and drink from the jars the young men have filled.”

9 رَاقِبِي الْحَقْلَ الَّذِي يَحْصُدُهُ الْحَصَّادُونَ وَاذْهَبِي وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَقَدْ أَوْصَيْتُ الْغِلْمَانَ أَلّا يَمَسُّوكِ بِسُوءٍ. وَإذَا شَعَرْتِ بِالْعَطَشِ فَاذْهَبِي وَاشْرَبِي مِنَ الآنِيَةِ الَّتِي مَلأُوهَا».

10 At this, she fell on her face, bowing low to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you should take notice of me, even though I am a foreigner?”

10 فَانْحَنَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «كَيْفَ لَقِيتُ حُظْوَةً لَدَيْكَ فَاهْتَمَمْتَ بِي أَنَا الْغَرِيبَةَ؟»

11 Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before.

11 فَأَجَابَهَا بُوعَزُ: «لَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي مَا أَحْسَنْتِ بِهِ إِلَى حَمَاتِكِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ زَوْجِكِ، حَتَّى إِنَّكِ تَخَلَّيْتِ عَنْ أَبِيكِ وَأُمِّكِ وَأَرْضِ مَوْلِدِكِ، وَجِئْتِ إِلَى شَعْبٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ.

12 May the LORD repay your work, and may you receive a rich reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have taken refuge.”

12 لِيُكَافِئْكِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، الَّذِي جِئْتِ لِتَحْتَمِيَ تَحْتَ جَنَاحَيْهِ، وَفْقاً لإِحْسَانِكِ. وَلْيَكُنْ أَجْرُكِ كَامِلاً مِنْ عِنْدِهِ».

13 “My lord,” she said, “may I continue to find favor in your eyes, for you have comforted and spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your servant girls.”

13 فَقَالَتْ: «لَيْتَنِي أَظَلُّ مُتَمَتِّعَةً بِرِضَى سَيِّدِي، فَقَدْ عَزَّيْتَنِي وَطَيَّبْتَ قَلْبَ جَارِيَتِكَ، مَعْ أَنَّنِي لَا أُسَاوِي وَاحِدَةً مِنْ جَوَارِيكَ».

14 At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come over here; have some bread and dip it into the vinegar sauce.” So she sat down beside the harvesters, and he offered her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left over.

14 وَعِنْدَمَا حَلَّ مَوْعِدُ الأَكْلِ، قَالَ لَهَا بُوعَزُ: «تَقَدَّمِي وَكُلِي بَعْضَ الْخُبْزِ، وَاغْمِسِي لُقْمَتَكِ فِي الْخَمْرِ». فَجَلَسَتْ بِجَانِبِ الْحَصَّادِينَ، فَنَاوَلَهَا فَرِيكاً فَأَكَلَتْ وَشَبِعَتْ وَفَاضَ عَنْهَا.

15 When Ruth got up to glean, Boaz ordered his young men, “Even if she gathers among the sheaves, do not insult her.

15 ثُمَّ قَامَتْ لِتَلْتَقِطَ سَنَابِلَ. فَأَمَرَ بُوعَزُ غِلْمَانَهُ قَائِلاً: «اتْرُكُوهَا تَلْتَقِطُ سَنَابِلَ بَيْنَ حُزَمِ الشَّعِيرِ أَيْضاً وَلا تَمَسُّوهَا بِأَذىً،

16 Rather, pull out for her some stalks from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not rebuke her.”

16 بَلِ انْتَزِعُوا بَعْضَ السَّنَابِلِ مِنَ الْحُزَمِ وَاتْرُكُوهَا لَهَا لِتَلْتَقِطَهَا، وَلا تُضَايِقُوهَا».

17 So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. And when she beat out what she had gleaned, it was about an ephah of barley.

17 وَظَلَّتْ رَاعُوثُ تَلْتَقِطُ إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ. ثُمَّ خَبَطَتِ السَّنَابِلَ الَّتِي الْتَقَطَتْهَا فَوَجَدَتْ أَنَّهَا نَحْوَ إِيْفَةِ شَعِيرٍ (أَيْ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لِتْرَ شَعِيرٍ)،

18 She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought out what she had saved from her meal and gave it to Naomi.

18 فَحَمَلَتْهَا وَقَدُمَتْ بِها إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ. فَرَأَتْ حَمَاتُهَا مَا الْتَقَطَتْهُ، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَتْ مَا فَاضَ عَنْهَا مِنْ طَعَامٍ بَعْدَ شَبْعِهَا وَأَعْطَتْهُ لِحَمَاتِهَا

19 Then her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today, and where did you work? Blessed be the man who noticed you.” So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.

19 الَّتِي سَأَلَتْهَا: «أَيْنَ الْتَقَطْتِ الْيَوْمَ، وَفِي أَيِّ حَقْلٍ عَمِلْتِ؟ لِيُبَارِكِ الرَّبُّ مَنْ كَانَ عَطُوفاً عَلَيْكِ». فَأَخْبَرَتْ رَاعُوثُ حَمَاتَهَا عَمَّنِ اشْتَغَلَتْ فِي حَقْلِهِ وَقَالَتْ: «اسْمُ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي عَمِلْتُ فِي حَقْلِهِ الْيَوْمَ هُوَ بُوعَزُ».

20 Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not withdrawn His kindness from the living or the dead.” Naomi continued, “The man is a close relative. He is one of our kinsman-redeemers.”

20 فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِكَنَّتِهَا: «لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مُبَارَكاً لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَخَلَّ عَنِ الإِحْسَانِ إِلَى الأَحْيَاءِ وَالأَمْوَاتِ». ثُمَّ اسْتَطْرَدَتْ: «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ قَرِيبٌ لَنَا، وَهُوَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِنَا».

21 Then Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also told me, ‘Stay with my young men until they have finished gathering all my harvest.’”

21 فَقَالَتْ رَاعُوثُ الْمُوآبِيَّةُ: «لَقَدْ طَلَبَ مِنِّي أَنْ أُلازِمَ عُمَّالَهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفُوا حَصَادَهُ».

22 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “My daughter, it is good for you to work with his young women, so that nothing will happen to you in another field.”

22 فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِرَاعُوثَ كَنَّتِهَا: «خَيْرٌ لَكِ أَنْ تُلازِمِي فَتَيَاتِهِ لِئَلّا يَقَعَ بِكِ أَذىً لَوْ عَمِلْتِ فِي حَقْلِ آخَرَ».

23 So Ruth stayed close to the servant girls of Boaz to glean grain until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.

23 فَلازَمَتْ رَاعُوثُ فَتَيَاتِ بُوعَزَ اللّاقِطَاتِ السَّنَابِلَ، حَتَّى تَمَّ حَصَادُ الشَّعِيرِ وَالْقَمْحِ أَيْضاً وَأَقَامَتْ مَعْ حَمَاتِهَا.
