< رَاعُوث 1 >

حَدَثَ فِي أَيَّامِ حُكْمِ ٱلْقُضَاةِ أَنَّهُ صَارَ جُوعٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَذَهَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا لِيَتَغَرَّبَ فِي بِلَادِ مُوآبَ هُوَ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ وَٱبْنَاهُ. ١ 1
In the daies of o iuge, whanne iugis weren souereynes, hungur was maad in the lond; and a man of Bethleem of Juda yede to be a pylgrym in the cuntrei of Moab, with his wijf and twey fre sones.
وَٱسْمُ ٱلرَّجُلِ أَلِيمَالِكُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ نُعْمِي، وَٱسْمَا ٱبْنَيْهِ مَحْلُونُ وَكِلْيُونُ، أَفْرَاتِيُّونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا. فَأَتَوْا إِلَى بِلَادِ مُوآبَ وَكَانُوا هُنَاكَ. ٢ 2
He was clepid Elymelech, and his wijf Noemy, and the twey sones, `the oon was clepid Maalon, and the tother Chelion, Effrateis of Bethleem of Juda; and thei entriden in to the cuntrey of Moab, and dwelliden there.
وَمَاتَ أَلِيمَالِكُ رَجُلُ نُعْمِي، وَبَقِيَتْ هِيَ وَٱبْنَاهَا. ٣ 3
And Elymelech, the hosebonde of Noemy, diede, and sche lefte with the sones;
فَأَخَذَا لَهُمَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ مُوآبِيَّتَيْنِ، ٱسْمُ إِحْدَاهُمَا عُرْفَةُ وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى رَاعُوثُ. وَأَقَامَا هُنَاكَ نَحْوَ عَشَرِ سِنِينٍ. ٤ 4
and thei token wyues of Moab, of whiche wyues oon was clepid Orpha, the tother Ruth. And the sones dwelliden there ten yeer,
ثُمَّ مَاتَا كِلَاهُمَا مَحْلُونُ وَكِلْيُونُ، فَتُرِكَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ مِنِ ٱبْنَيْهَا وَمِنْ رَجُلِهَا. ٥ 5
and bothe dieden, that is, Maalon and Chelion; and the womman lefte, and was maad bare of twey fre sones, and hosebonde.
فَقَامَتْ هِيَ وَكَنَّتَاهَا وَرَجَعَتْ مِنْ بِلَادِ مُوآبَ، لِأَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ فِي بِلَادِ مُوآبَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدِ ٱفْتَقَدَ شَعْبَهُ لِيُعْطِيَهُمْ خُبْزًا. ٦ 6
And sche roos to go with euer eithir wijf of hir sones in to hir cuntrey fro the cuntrey of Moab; for sche hadde herd, that the Lord hadde biholde his puple, and hadde youe `metis to hem.
وَخَرَجَتْ مِنَ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَتْ فِيهِ وَكَنَّتَاهَا مَعَهَا، وَسِرْنَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ لِلرُّجُوعِ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا. ٧ 7
Therfor sche yede out of the place of hir pilgrymage with euer either wijf of hir sones; and now sche was set in the weie of turnyng ayen in to the lond of Juda,
فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي لِكَنَّتَيْهَا: «ٱذْهَبَا ٱرْجِعَا كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ أُمِّهَا. وَلْيَصْنَعِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمَا إِحْسَانًا كَمَا صَنَعْتُمَا بِٱلْمَوْتَى وَبِي. ٨ 8
and sche seide to hem, Go ye in to `the hows of youre modir; the Lord do mercy with you, as ye diden with the deed men, and with me;
وَلْيُعْطِكُمَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ تَجِدَا رَاحَةً كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ فِي بَيْتِ رَجُلِهَا». فَقَبَّلَتْهُمَا، وَرَفَعْنَ أَصْوَاتَهُنَّ وَبَكَيْنَ. ٩ 9
the Lord yyue to you to fynde reste in the howsis of hosebondis, whiche ye schulen take. And sche kiste hem. Whiche bigunnen to wepe with `vois reisid,
فَقَالَتَا لَهَا: «إِنَّنَا نَرْجِعُ مَعَكِ إِلَى شَعْبِكِ». ١٠ 10
and to seie, We schulen go with thee to thi puple.
فَقَالَتْ نُعْمِي: «ٱرْجِعَا يَا بِنْتَيَّ. لِمَاذَا تَذْهَبَانِ مَعِي؟ هَلْ فِي أَحْشَائِي بَنُونَ بَعْدُ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا لَكُمَا رِجَالًا؟ ١١ 11
To whiche sche answeride, My douytris, turne ye ayen, whi comen ye with me? Y haue no more sones in my wombe, that ye moun hope hosebondis of me; my douytris of Moab, turne ye ayen, and go;
اِرْجِعَا يَا بِنْتَيَّ وَٱذْهَبَا لِأَنِّي قَدْ شِخْتُ عَنْ أَنْ أَكُونَ لِرَجُلٍ. وَإِنْ قُلْتُ لِي رَجَاءٌ أَيْضًا بِأَنِّي أَصِيرُ هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ لِرَجُلٍ وَأَلِدُ بَنِينَ أَيْضًا، ١٢ 12
for now Y am maad eeld, and Y am not able to boond of mariage; yhe, thouy Y myyte conseyue in this nyyt,
هَلْ تَصْبِرَانِ لَهُمْ حَتَّى يَكْبُرُوا؟ هَلْ تَنْحَجِزَانِ مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ عَنْ أَنْ تَكُونَا لِرَجُلٍ؟ لَا يَا بِنْتَيَّ. فَإِنِّي مَغْمُومَةٌ جِدًّا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمَا لِأَنَّ يَدَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ عَلَيَّ». ١٣ 13
and bere sones, if ye wolen abide til thei wexen, and fillen the yeris of mariage, `ye schulen sunner be eld wymmen than ye schulen be weddid; I biseche, `nyle ye, my douytris, for youre angwische oppressith me more, and the hond of the Lord yede out ayens me.
ثُمَّ رَفَعْنَ أَصْوَاتَهُنَّ وَبَكَيْنَ أَيْضًا. فَقَبَّلَتْ عُرْفَةُ حَمَاتَهَا، وَأَمَّا رَاعُوثُ فَلَصِقَتْ بِهَا. ١٤ 14
Therfor, whanne the vois was reisid, eft thei bigunnen to wepe. Orpha kisside `the modir of hir hosebonde, and turnede ayen, and Ruth `cleuyde to `the modir of hir hosebonde.
فَقَالَتْ: «هُوَذَا قَدْ رَجَعَتْ سِلْفَتُكِ إِلَى شَعْبِهَا وَآلِهَتِهَا. اِرْجِعِي أَنْتِ وَرَاءَ سِلْفَتِكِ». ١٥ 15
To whom Noemy seide, Lo! thi kyneswomman turnede ayen to hir puple, and to hir goddis; go thou with hir.
فَقَالَتْ رَاعُوثُ: «لَا تُلِحِّي عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَتْرُكَكِ وَأَرْجِعَ عَنْكِ، لِأَنَّهُ حَيْثُمَا ذَهَبْتِ أَذْهَبُ وَحَيْثُمَا بِتِّ أَبِيتُ. شَعْبُكِ شَعْبِي وَإِلَهُكِ إِلَهِي. ١٦ 16
And sche answeride, Be thou not `aduersarye to me, that Y forsake thee, and go awei; whidur euer thou schalt go, Y schal go, and where thou schalt dwelle, and Y schal dwelle togidere; thi puple is my puple, and thi God is my God;
حَيْثُمَا مُتِّ أَمُوتُ وَهُنَاكَ أَنْدَفِنُ. هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِي وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ. إِنَّمَا ٱلْمَوْتُ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكِ». ١٧ 17
what lond schal resseyue thee diynge, Y schal die ther ynne, and there Y schal take place of biriyng; God do to me these thingis, and adde these thingis, if deeth aloone schal not departe me and thee.
فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا مُشَدِّدَةٌ عَلَى ٱلذَّهَابِ مَعَهَا، كَفَّتْ عَنِ ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَيْهَا. ١٨ 18
Therfor Noemy siy, that Ruth hadde demyde with stidefast soule to go with hir, and sche nolde be ayens hir, nether counseile ferthere turnynge ayen `to her cuntrei men.
فَذَهَبَتَا كِلْتَاهُمَا حَتَّى دَخَلَتَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ. وَكَانَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ أَنَّ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ كُلَّهَا تَحَرَّكَتْ بِسَبَبِهِمَا، وَقَالُوا: «أَهَذِهِ نُعْمِي؟» ١٩ 19
And thei yeden forth togidere, and camen in to Bethleem; and whanne thei entriden in to the citee, swift fame roos anentis alle men, and wymmen seiden, This is thilke Noemy.
فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَدْعُونِي نُعْمِيَ بَلِ ٱدْعُونِي مُرَّةَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَمَرَّنِي جِدًّا. ٢٠ 20
To whiche sche seide, Clepe ye not me Noemy, that is, fair, but `clepe ye me Mara, that is, bittere; for Almyyti God hath fillid me greetli with bitternesse.
إِنِّي ذَهَبْتُ مُمْتَلِئَةً وَأَرْجَعَنِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَارِغَةً. لِمَاذَا تَدْعُونَنِي نُعْمِي، وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَذَلَّنِي وَٱلْقَدِيرُ قَدْ كَسَّرَنِي؟» ٢١ 21
Y yede out ful, and the Lord ledde me ayen voide; whi therfor clepen ye me Noemy, whom the Lord hath `maad low, and Almyyti God hath turmentid?
فَرَجَعَتْ نُعْمِيَ وَرَاعُوثُ ٱلْمُوآبِيَّةُ كَنَّتُهَا مَعَهَا، ٱلَّتِي رَجَعَتْ مِنْ بِلَادِ مُوآبَ، وَدَخَلَتَا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ حَصَادِ ٱلشَّعِيرِ. ٢٢ 22
Therfor Noemy cam with Ruth of Moab, `the wijf of hir sone, fro the lond of hir pilgrimage, and turnede ayen in to Bethleem, whanne barli was ropun first.
