وَقَالَتْ لَهَا نُعْمِي حَمَاتُهَا: «يَابِنْتِي أَلَا أَلْتَمِسُ لَكِ رَاحَةً لِيَكُونَ لَكِ خَيْرٌ؟ ١ 1
Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
فَٱلْآنَ أَلَيْسَ بُوعَزُ ذَا قَرَابَةٍ لَنَا، ٱلَّذِي كُنْتِ مَعَ فَتَيَاتِهِ؟ هَا هُوَ يُذَرِّي بَيْدَرَ ٱلشَّعِيرِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ. ٢ 2
Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Look, he winnows barley tonight at the threshing floor.
فَٱغْتَسِلِي وَتَدَهَّنِي وَٱلْبَسِي ثِيَابَكِ وَٱنْزِلِي إِلَى ٱلْبَيْدَرِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تُعْرَفِي عِنْدَ ٱلرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يَفْرَغَ مِنَ ٱلْأَكْلِ وَٱلشُّرْبِ. ٣ 3
Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, and put on your clothes, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
وَمَتَى ٱضْطَجَعَ فَٱعْلَمِي ٱلْمَكَانَ ٱلَّذِي يَضْطَجِعُ فِيهِ، وَٱدْخُلِي وَٱكْشِفِي نَاحِيَةَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَٱضْطَجِعِي، وَهُوَ يُخْبِرُكِ بِمَا تَعْمَلِينَ». ٤ 4
It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall do."
فَقَالَتْ لَهَا: «كُلَّ مَا قُلْتِ أَصْنَعُ». ٥ 5
She said to her, "All that you say I will do."
فَنَزَلَتْ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْدَرِ وَعَمِلَتْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَتْهَا بِهِ حَمَاتُهَا. ٦ 6
She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her.
فَأَكَلَ بُوعَزُ وَشَرِبَ وَطَابَ قَلْبُهُ وَدَخَلَ لِيَضْطَجِعَ فِي طَرَفِ ٱلْعَرَمَةِ. فَدَخَلَتْ سِرًّا وَكَشَفَتْ نَاحِيَةَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَٱضْطَجَعَتْ. ٧ 7
When Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came quietly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
وَكَانَ عِنْدَ ٱنْتِصَافِ ٱللَّيْلِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱضْطَرَبَ، وَٱلْتَفَتَ وَإِذَا بِٱمْرَأَةٍ مُضْطَجِعَةٍ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ. ٨ 8
It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned over; and look, a woman lay at his feet.
فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَنْتِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «أَنَا رَاعُوثُ أَمَتُكَ. فَٱبْسُطْ ذَيْلَ ثَوْبِكَ عَلَى أَمَتِكَ لِأَنَّكَ وَلِيٌّ». ٩ 9
He said, "Who are you?" She answered, "I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your handmaid; for you are a redeeming kinsman."
فَقَالَ: «إِنَّكِ مُبَارَكَةٌ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَابِنْتِي لِأَنَّكِ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتِ مَعْرُوفَكِ فِي ٱلْأَخِيرِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، إِذْ لَمْ تَسْعَيْ وَرَاءَ ٱلشُّبَّانِ، فُقَرَاءَ كَانُوا أَوْ أَغْنِيَاءَ. ١٠ 10
He said, "Blessed are you by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, whether poor or rich.
وَٱلْآنَ يَابِنْتِي لَا تَخَافِي. كُلُّ مَا تَقُولِينَ أَفْعَلُ لَكِ، لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَبْوَابِ شَعْبِي تَعْلَمُ أَنَّكِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ فَاضِلَةٌ. ١١ 11
Now, my daughter, do not be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.
وَٱلْآنَ صَحِيحٌ أَنِّي وَلِيٌّ، وَلَكِنْ يُوجَدُ وَلِيٌّ أَقْرَبُ مِنِّي. ١٢ 12
Now it is true that I am a redeeming kinsman; however there is a redeemer closer than I am.
بِيتِي ٱللَّيْلَةَ، وَيَكُونُ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ أَنَّهُ إِنْ قَضَى لَكِ حَقَّ ٱلْوَلِيِّ فَحَسَنًا. لِيَقْضِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ لَكِ حَقَّ ٱلْوَلِيِّ، فَأَنَا أَقْضِي لَكِ. حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ. اِضْطَجِعِي إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ». ١٣ 13
Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a redeemer, well; let him do the redeemer's part. But if he will not do the part of a redeemer for you, then I will do the part of a redeemer for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the morning."
فَٱضْطَجَعَتْ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ. ثُمَّ قَامَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْدِرَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَلَى مَعْرِفَةِ صَاحِبِهِ. وَقَالَ: «لَا يُعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ جَاءَتْ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْدَرِ». ١٤ 14
She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَاتِي ٱلرِّدَاءَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْكِ وَأَمْسِكِيهِ». فَأَمْسَكَتْهُ، فَٱكْتَالَ سِتَّةً مِنَ ٱلشَّعِيرِ وَوَضَعَهَا عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ دَخَلَتَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ. ١٥ 15
He said, "Bring the cloak that is on you, and hold it." She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he went into the city.
فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى حَمَاتِهَا فَقَالَتْ: «مَنْ أَنْتِ يَابِنْتِي؟». فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا بِكُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ لَهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ. ١٦ 16
When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did it go, my daughter?" She told her all that the man had done to her.
وَقَالَتْ: «هَذِهِ ٱلسِّتَّةَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعِيرِ أَعْطَانِي، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَا تَجِيئِي فَارِغَةً إِلَى حَمَاتِكِ». ١٧ 17
She said, "He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said to me, 'Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"
فَقَالَتِ: «ٱجْلِسِي يَابِنْتِي حَتَّى تَعْلَمِي كَيْفَ يَقَعُ ٱلْأَمْرُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ لَا يَهْدَأُ حَتَّى يُتَمِّمَ ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلْيَوْمَ». ١٨ 18
Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day."
