Ruth 2

وَكَانَ لِنُعْمِي ذُو قَرَابَةٍ لِرَجُلِهَا، جَبَّارُ بَأْسٍ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ أَلِيمَالِكَ، اسْمُهُ بُوعَزُ.

And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.

فَقَالَتْ رَاعُوثُ الْمُوآبِيَّةُ لِنُعْمِي: «دَعِينِي أَذْهَبْ إِلَى الْحَقْلِ وَأَلْتَقِطْ سَنَابِلَ وَرَاءَ مَنْ أَجِدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْهِ». فَقَالَتْ لَهَا: «اذْهَبِي يَابِنْتِي».

And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.

فَذَهَبَتْ وَجَاءَتْ وَالْتَقَطَتْ فِي الْحَقْلِ وَرَاءَ الْحَصَّادِينَ. فَاتَّفَقَ نَصِيبُهَا فِي قِطْعَةِ حَقْل لِبُوعَزَ الَّذِي مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ أَلِيمَالِكَ.

And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.

وَإِذَا بِبُوعَزَ قَدْ جَاءَ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ وَقَالَ لِلْحَصَّادِينَ: «الرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «يُبَارِكُكَ الرَّبُّ».

And, behold, Boaz came from Beth–lehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.

فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ لِغُلاَمِهِ الْمُوَكَّلِ عَلَى الْحَصَّادِينَ: «لِمَنْ هذِهِ الْفَتَاةُ؟»

Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

فَأَجَابَ ألْغُلاَمُ المُوَكَّلُ عَلَى الحَصَّادِينَ وَقَالَ: «هِيَ فَتَاةٌ مُوآبِيَّةٌ قَدْ رَجَعَتْ مَعَ نُعْمِي مِنْ بِلاَدِ مُوآبَ،

And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:

وَقَالَتْ: دَعُونِي أَلْتَقِطْ وَأَجْمَعْ بَيْنَ الْحُزَمِ وَرَاءَ الْحَصَّادِينَ. فَجَاءَتْ وَمَكَثَتْ مِنَ الصَّبَاحِ إِلَى الآنَ. قَلِيلاً مَّا لَبِثَتْ فِي الْبَيْتِ».

And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

فَقَالَ بُوعَزُ لِرَاعُوثَ: «أَلاَ تَسْمَعِينَ يَابِنْتِي؟ لاَ تَذْهَبِي لِتَلْتَقِطِي فِي حَقْلِ آخَرَ، وَأَيْضًا لاَ تَبْرَحِي مِنْ ههُنَا، بَلْ هُنَا لاَزِمِي فَتَيَاتِي.

Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:

عَيْنَاكِ عَلَى الْحَقْلِ الَّذِي يَحْصُدُونَ وَاذْهَبِي وَرَاءَهُمْ. أَلَمْ أُوصِ الْغِلْمَانَ أَنْ لاَ يَمَسُّوكِ؟ وَإِذَا عَطِشْتِ فَاذْهَبِي إِلَى الآنِيَةِ وَاشْرَبِي مِمَّا اسْتَقَاهُ الْغِلْمَانُ».

Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.

فَسَقَطَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا وَسَجَدَتْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «كَيْفَ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ حَتَّى تَنْظُرَ إِلَيَّ وَأَنَا غَرِيبَةٌ؟»

Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?

فَأَجَابَ بُوعَزُ وَقَالَ لَهَا: «إِنَّنِي قَدْ أُخْبِرْتُ بِكُلِّ مَا فَعَلْتِ بِحَمَاتِكِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ رَجُلِكِ، حَتَّى تَرَكْتِ أَبَاكِ وَأُمَّكِ وَأَرْضَ مَوْلِدِكِ وَسِرْتِ إِلَى شَعْبٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ.

And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.

لِيُكَافِئِ الرَّبُّ عَمَلَكِ، وَلْيَكُنْ أَجْرُكِ كَامِلاً مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي جِئْتِ لِكَيْ تَحْتَمِي تَحْتَ جَنَاحَيْهِ».

The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

فَقَالَت: «لَيْتَنِي أَجِدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي لأَنَّكَ قَدْ عَزَّيْتَنِي وَطَيَّبْتَ قَلْبَ جَارِيَتِكَ، وَأَنَا لَسْتُ كَوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ جَوَارِيكَ».

Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.

فَقَالَ لَهَا بُوعَزُ: «عِنْدَ وَقْتِ الأَكْلِ تَقَدَّمِي إِلَى ههُنَا وَكُلِي مِنَ الْخُبْزِ، وَاغْمِسِي لُقْمَتَكِ فِي الْخَلِّ». فَجَلَسَتْ بِجَانِبِ الْحَصَّادِينَ فَنَاوَلَهَا فَرِيكًا، فَأَكَلَتْ وَشَبِعَتْ وَفَضَلَ عَنْهَا.

And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.

ثُمَّ قَامَتْ لِتَلْتَقِطَ. فَأَمَرَ بُوعَزُ غِلْمَانَهُ قَائِلاً: «دَعُوهَا تَلْتَقِطْ بَيْنَ الْحُزَمِ أَيْضًا وَلاَ تُؤْذُوهَا.

And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:

وَأَنْسِلُوا أَيْضًا لَهَا مِنَ الشَّمَائِلِ وَدَعُوهَا تَلْتَقِطْ وَلاَ تَنْتَهِرُوهَا».

And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.

فَالْتَقَطَتْ فِي الْحَقْلِ إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ، وَخَبَطَتْ مَا الْتَقَطَتْهُ فَكَانَ نَحْوَ إِيفَةِ شَعِيرٍ.

So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.

فَحَمَلَتْهُ وَدَخَلَتِ الْمَدِينَةَ. فَرَأَتْ حَمَاتُهَا مَا الْتَقَطَتْهُ. وَأَخْرَجَتْ وَأَعْطَتْهَا مَا فَضَلَ عَنْهَا بَعْدَ شِبَعِهَا.

And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.

فَقَالَتْ لَهَا حَمَاتُهَا: «أَيْنَ الْتَقَطْتِ الْيَوْمَ؟ وَأَيْنَ اشْتَغَلْتِ؟ لِيَكُنِ النَّاظِرُ إِلَيْكِ مُبَارَكًا». فَأَخْبَرَتْ حَمَاتَهَا بِالَّذِي اشْتَغَلَتْ مَعَهُ وَقَالَتِ: «اسْمُ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي اشْتَغَلْتُ مَعَهُ الْيَوْمَ بُوعَزُ».

And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.

فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِكَنَّتِهَا: «مُبَارَكٌ هُوَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتْرُكِ الْمَعْرُوفَ مَعَ الأَحْيَاءِ وَالْمَوْتَى». ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لَهَا نُعْمِي: «الرَّجُلُ ذُو قَرَابَةٍ لَنَا. هُوَ ثَانِي وَلِيِّنَا».

And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.

فَقَالَتْ رَاعُوثُ الْمُوآبِيَّةُ: «إِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي أَيْضًا: لاَزِمِي فِتْيَانِي حَتَّى يُكَمِّلُوا جَمِيعَ حَصَادِي».

And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.

فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِرَاعُوثَ كَنَّتِهَا: «إِنَّهُ حَسَنٌ يَابِنْتِي أَنْ تَخْرُجِي مَعَ فَتَيَاتِهِ حَتَّى لاَ يَقَعُوا بِكِ فِي حَقْلِ آخَرَ».

And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.

فَلاَزَمَتْ فَتَيَاتِ بُوعَزَ فِي الالْتِقَاطِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى حَصَادُ الشَّعِيرِ وَحَصَادُ الْحِنْطَةِ. وَسَكَنَتْ مَعَ حَمَاتِهَا.

So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
