Книга Руфи 1
1 И бысть внегда судяху судии, бысть глад на земли. И иде муж от Вифлеема Иудина обитати в селе Моавли, сам и жена его, и два сыны его:
It happened in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 имя же мужеви Елимелех, имя же жене его Ноемминь и имя двема сынома его Маалон и Хелеон, Ефрафейстии от Вифлеема Иудина. И приидоша в село Моавле, и беша тамо.
The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Kilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
3 И умре Елимелех муж Ноемминин, и остася она и оба сыны ея:
Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4 и пояста себе жены Моавитския: имя единей Орфа и имя вторей Руфь: и жиша тамо до десяти лет.
And they took for themselves wives from the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years.
5 И умроста оба сыны ея, Маалон и Хелеон, и остася жена от мужа своего и от обоих сынов ея.
Mahlon and Kilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
6 И воста она и обе снохи ея, и возвратишася с села Моавля: зане услыша на селе Моавли, яко присети Господь людий Своих дати им хлебы.
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 Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread.
7 И отиде от места, идеже бе, она и обе снохи ея с нею, и идяху в путь возвратитися в землю Иудину.
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 to the land of Judah.
8 И рече Ноемминь обема снохама своима: идите убо, возвратитеся каяждо в дом отца своего: да сотворит Господь с вами милость, якоже сотвористе со умершими и со мною:
Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May Jehovah deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
9 да даст Господь Бог вам обрести покой коейждо в дому мужа своего. И целова я: они же воздвигоша гласы своя и плакашася,
Jehovah grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband." Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
10 и рекоша ей: ни, но идем с тобою в люди твоя.
They said to her, "No, but we will return with you to your people."
11 И рече Ноемминь: обратитеся убо, дщери мои, вскую идете со мною? Или еще мне сынове во утробе моей, и будут вам мужи?
Naomi said, "Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
12 Возвратитеся убо, дщери мои и отидите, яко состарехся, и не буду мужу: аще же бых и рекла, яко у мене есть надежда, да буду мужу и рожду сыны,
Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, 'I have hope,' if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons;
13 вы ли пождете их, дондеже возрастут? И вы ли удержитеся, да не будете иному мужу? Ни, дщери мои, яко горько бысть мне паче вас, яко изыде на мя рука Господня.
would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah has gone out against me."
14 И воздвигоша гласы своя, и плакаша паки. И целова Орфа свекровь свою, и возвратися в люди своя, Руфь же последова ей.
They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her people, but Ruth clung to her.
15 И рече Ноемминь к Руфе: се, возвратися ятровь твоя к людем своим и к богом своим, возвратися убо и ты вслед ятрове своея.
She said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.
16 И рече Руфь: не срящи мене то, еже оставити тебе или обратитися мне от тебе, но идеже идеши ты, и аз пойду, и идеже водворишися ты, водворюся и аз: людие твои людие мои, и Бог твой Бог мой:
Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay; your people shall be my people, and your God my God;
17 и идеже аще умреши, умру и тамо погребуся: тако да сотворит мне Господь, и сия да приложит, яко смерть разлучит между мною и тобою.
where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me."
18 Видевши же Ноемминь, яко укрепися она ити с нею, умолче глаголати к ней ктому.
When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
19 Идосте же обе, дондеже приидосте в Вифлеем. И бысть егда приидосте они в Вифлеем, и возгласи весь град о них, и рекоша: еда сия есть Ноемминь?
So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. It happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they asked, "Is this Naomi?"
20 И рече к ним: не зовите убо мене Ноемминь, но зовите мене Горька: яко исполни мя горести Вседержитель зело:
She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Marah; for Shaddai has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 аз исполнь отидох, и ныне тщу мя возврати Господь: и вскую мя нарицаете Ноемминь, Господь смири мя и Вседержитель озлоби мя?
I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since Jehovah has testified against me, and Shaddai has afflicted me?"
22 И возвратися Ноемминь и Руфь Моавитиня сноха ея с нею, обращающыяся с села Моавля: и приидосте в Вифлеем в начале жатвы ячменя.
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.
