Ruth 3

وَقَالَتْ لَهَا نُعْمِي حَمَاتُهَا: «يَابِنْتِي أَلاَ أَلْتَمِسُ لَكِ رَاحَةً لِيَكُونَ لَكِ خَيْرٌ؟
Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
فَالآنَ أَلَيْسَ بُوعَزُ ذَا قَرَابَةٍ لَنَا، الَّذِي كُنْتِ مَعَ فَتَيَاتِهِ؟ هَا هُوَ يُذَرِّي بَيْدَرَ الشَّعِيرِ اللَّيْلَةَ.
And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
فَاغْتَسِلِي وَتَدَهَّنِي وَالْبَسِي ثِيَابَكِ وَانْزِلِي إِلَى الْبَيْدَرِ، وَلكِنْ لاَ تُعْرَفِي عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يَفْرَغَ مِنَ الأَكْلِ وَالشُّرْبِ.
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
وَمَتَى اضْطَجَعَ فَاعْلَمِي الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي يَضْطَجعُ فِيهِ، وَادْخُلِي وَاكْشِفِي نَاحِيَةَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَاضْطَجِعِي، وَهُوَ يُخْبِرُكِ بِمَا تَعْمَلِينَ».
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
فَقَالَتْ لَهَا: «كُلَّ مَا قُلْتِ أَصْنَعُ».
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
فَنَزَلَتْ إِلَى الْبَيْدَرِ وَعَمِلَتْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَتْهَا بِهِ حَمَاتُهَا.
And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
فَأَكَلَ بُوعَزُ وَشَرِبَ وَطَابَ قَلْبُهُ وَدَخَلَ لِيَضْطَجعَ فِي طَرَفِ الْعَرَمَةِ. فَدَخَلَتْ سِرًّا وَكَشَفَتْ نَاحِيَةَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَاضْطَجَعَتْ.
And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
وَكَانَ عِنْدَ انْتِصَافِ اللَّيْلِ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ اضْطَرَبَ، وَالْتَفَتَ وَإِذَا بِامْرَأَةٍ مُضْطَجِعَةٍ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ.
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَنْتِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «أَنَا رَاعُوثُ أَمَتُكَ. فَابْسُطْ ذَيْلَ ثَوْبِكَ عَلَى أَمَتِكَ لأَنَّكَ وَلِيٌّ».
And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
فَقَالَ: «إِنَّكِ مُبَارَكَةٌ مِنَ الرَّبِّ يَابِنْتِي لأَنَّكِ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتِ مَعْرُوفَكِ فِي الأَخِيرِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الأَوَّلِ، إِذْ لَمْ تَسْعَيْ وَرَاءَ الشُّبَّانِ، فُقَرَاءَ كَانُوا أَوْ أَغْنِيَاءَ.
And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
وَالآنَ يَابِنْتِي لاَ تَخَافِي. كُلُّ مَا تَقُولِينَ أَفْعَلُ لَكِ، لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَبْوَابِ شَعْبِي تَعْلَمُ أَنَّكِ امْرَأَةٌ فَاضِلَةٌ.
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.
وَالآنَ صَحِيحٌ أَنِّي وَلِيٌّ، وَلكِنْ يُوجَدُ وَلِيٌّ أَقْرَبُ مِنِّي.
And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
بِيتِي اللَّيْلَةَ، وَيَكُونُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ أَنَّهُ إِنْ قَضَى لَكِ حَقَّ الْوَلِيِّ فَحَسَنًا. لِيَقْضِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ لَكِ حَقَّ الْوَلِيِّ، فَأَنَا أَقْضِي لَكِ. حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ. اِضْطَجِعِي إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ».
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
فَاضْطَجَعَتْ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ. ثُمَّ قَامَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْدِرَ الْوَاحِدُ عَلَى مَعْرِفَةِ صَاحِبِهِ. وَقَالَ: «لاَ يُعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ جَاءَتْ إِلَى الْبَيْدَرِ».
And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَاتِي الرِّدَاءَ الَّذِي عَلَيْكِ وَأَمْسِكِيهِ». فَأَمْسَكَتْهُ، فَاكْتَالَ سِتَّةً مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ وَوَضَعَهَا عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ.
Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى حَمَاتِهَا فَقَالَتْ: «مَنْ أَنْتِ يَابِنْتِي؟» فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا بِكُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ لَهَا الرَّجُلُ.
And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
وَقَالَتْ: «هذِهِ السِّتَّةَ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ أَعْطَانِي، لأَنَّهُ قَالَ: لاَ تَجِيئِي فَارِغَةً إِلَى حَمَاتِكِ».
And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
فَقَالَتِ: «اجْلِسِي يَابِنْتِي حَتَّى تَعْلَمِي كَيْفَ يَقَعُ الأَمْرُ، لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لاَ يَهْدَأُ حَتَّى يُتَمِّمَ الأَمْرَ الْيَوْمَ».
Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
