Ruth 1

Και εν ταις ημεραις καθ ας οι κριται εκρινον, εγεινε πεινα εν τη γη. Και υπηγεν ανθρωπος τις απο Βηθλεεμ Ιουδα να παροικηση εν γη Μωαβ, αυτος και η γυνη αυτου και οι δυο υιοι αυτου.

Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth–lehem–judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.

Το δε ονομα του ανθρωπου ητο Ελιμελεχ, και το ονομα της γυναικος αυτου Ναομι, και το ονομα των δυο υιων αυτου Μααλων και Χελαιων, Εφραθαιοι εκ Βηθλεεμ Ιουδα. Και ηλθον εις γην Μωαβ και ησαν εκει.

And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth–lehem–judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.

Και απεθανεν Ελιμελεχ ο ανηρ της Ναομι και εμεινεν αυτη και οι δυο υιοι αυτης.

And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.

Και ουτοι ελαβον εις εαυτους γυναικας Μωαβιτιδας το ονομα της μιας Ορφα και το ονομα της αλλης Ρουθ και κατωκησαν εκει εως δεκα ετη.

And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.

Απεθανον δε αμφοτεροι, ο Μααλων και ο Χελαιων και εστερηθη η γυνη των δυο υιων αυτης και του ανδρος αυτης.

And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.

Τοτε εσηκωθη αυτη και αι νυμφαι αυτης και επεστρεψαν εκ της γης Μωαβ διοτι ηκουσεν εν γη Μωαβ, οτι επεσκεφθη ο Κυριος τον λαον αυτου διδων εις αυτους αρτον.

Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.

Και εξηλθεν εκ του τοπου οπου ητο, και αι δυο νυμφαι αυτης μετ αυτης και επορευοντο την οδον δια να επιστρεψωσιν εις γην Ιουδα.

Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.

Ειπε δε η Ναομι προς τας δυο νυμφας αυτης, Υπαγετε, επιστρεψατε εκαστη εις τον οικον της μητρος αυτης. Ο Κυριος να καμη ελεος εις εσας, καθως σεις εκαμετε εις τους αποθανοντας και εις εμε

And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.

ο Κυριος να σας δωση να ευρητε αναπαυσιν, εκαστη εν τω οικω του ανδρος αυτης. Και εφιλησεν αυτας και αυται υψωσαν την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν.

The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.

Και ειπον προς αυτην, Ουχι αλλα μετα σου θελομεν επιστρεψει εις τον λαον σου.

And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.

Και ειπεν η Ναομι, Επιστρεψατε, θυγατερες μου δια τι να ελθητε μετ εμου; μηπως εχω ετι υιους εν τη κοιλια μου, δια να γεινωσιν ανδρες σας;

And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

επιστρεψατε, θυγατερες μου, υπαγετε διοτι εγηρασα και δεν ειμαι δια ανδρα εαν ελεγον, Εχω ελπιδα, εαν μαλιστα υπανδρευομην ταυτην την νυκτα και εγεννων ετι υιους,

Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;

σεις ηθελετε προσμενει αυτους εωσου μεγαλωσωσιν; ηθελετε δι αυτους αναβαλει το να υπανδρευθητε; μη, θυγατερες μου επειδη επικρανθην πολυ πλεον παρα σεις, οτι η χειρ του Κυριου εξηλθε κατ εμου.

Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.

Εκειναι δε υψωσαν την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν παλιν και κατεφιλησεν η Ορφα την πενθεραν αυτης η δε Ρουθ επροσκολληθη εις αυτην.

And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

Και ειπεν η Ναομι, Ιδου, η συννυμφος σου επεστρεψε προς τον λαον αυτης και προς τους θεους αυτης επιστρεψον και συ κατοπιν της συννυμφου σου.

And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

Αλλ η Ρουθ ειπε, Μη με αναγκαζε να σε αφησω, δια να αναχωρησω απ οπισθεν σου διοτι οπου αν συ υπαγης, και εγω θελω υπαγει και οπου αν συ παραμεινης, και εγω θελω παραμεινει ο λαος σου, λαος μου, και ο Θεος σου, Θεος μου

And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

οπου αν αποθανης, θελω αποθανει και εκει θελω ταφη ουτω να καμη ο Κυριος εις εμε και ουτω να προσθεση, εαν αλλο τι παρα τον θανατον χωριση εμε απο σου.

Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

Ιδουσα δε η Ναομι οτι αυτη διισχυριζετο να υπαγη μετ αυτης, επαυσε να λαλη προς αυτην.

When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.

Περιεπατησαν δε αμφοτεραι, εωσου εφθασαν εις Βηθλεεμ. Και οτε εφθασαν εις Βηθλεεμ, πασα η πολις συνεκινηθη δι αυτας, και αι γυναικες ελεγον, Αυτη ειναι η Ναομι;

So they two went until they came to Beth–lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth–lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?

Και αυτη ειπε προς αυτας, Μη με ονομαζετε Ναομι ονομαζετε με Μαρα διοτι ο Παντοδυναμος με επικρανε σφοδρα

And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.

εγω πληρης ανεχωρησα, και κενην επανηγαγε με ο Κυριος δια τι με ονομαζετε Ναομι, αφου ο Κυριος εμαρτυρησε κατ εμου και ο Παντοδυναμος με κατεθλιψεν;

I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

Επεστρεψε λοιπον η Ναομι, και μετ αυτης Ρουθ η Μωαβιτις η νυμφη αυτης ελθουσα εκ γης Μωαβ και αυται εφθασαν εις Βηθλεεμ εν τη αρχη του θερισμου των κριθων.

So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth–lehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
