Ruth 1
1 In the days when the judges judged, there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to live in the country of Moab with his wife and his two sons.
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:
2 The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi. The names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab and lived there.
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.
3 Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left with her two sons.
И умре Елимелех муж Ноемминин, и остася она и оба сыны ея:
4 They took for themselves wives of the women of Moab. The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth. They lived there about ten years.
и пояста себе жены Моавитския: имя единей Орфа и имя вторей Руфь: и жиша тамо до десяти лет.
5 Mahlon and Chilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
И умроста оба сыны ея, Маалон и Хелеон, и остася жена от мужа своего и от обоих сынов ея.
6 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 the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
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.
7 She went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her. They went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
И отиде от места, идеже бе, она и обе снохи ея с нею, и идяху в путь возвратитися в землю Иудину.
8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
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:
9 May the LORD 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 voices, and wept.
да даст Господь Бог вам обрести покой коейждо в дому мужа своего. И целова я: они же воздвигоша гласы своя и плакашася,
10 They said to her, “No, but we will return with you to your people.”
и рекоша ей: ни, но идем с тобою в люди твоя.
11 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?
И рече Ноемминь: обратитеся убо, дщери мои, вскую идете со мною? Или еще мне сынове во утробе моей, и будут вам мужи?
12 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,
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,
13 would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me seriously for your sakes, for the LORD’s hand has gone out against me.”
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.
14 They lifted up their voices and wept again; then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth stayed with her.
И воздвигоша гласы своя, и плакаша паки. И целова Орфа свекровь свою, и возвратися в люди своя, Руфь же последова ей.
15 She said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.”
И рече Ноемминь к Руфе: се, возвратися ятровь твоя к людем своим и к богом своим, возвратися убо и ты вслед ятрове своея.
16 Ruth said, “Don’t urge me to leave you, and to return from following you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.
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:
17 Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.”
и идеже аще умреши, умру и тамо погребуся: тако да сотворит мне Господь, и сия да приложит, яко смерть разлучит между мною и тобою.
18 When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.
Видевши же Ноемминь, яко укрепися она ити с нею, умолче глаголати к ней ктому.
19 So they both went until they came to Bethlehem. When they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was excited about them, and they asked, “Is this Naomi?”
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?
20 She said to them, “Don’t call me Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
И рече к ним: не зовите убо мене Ноемминь, но зовите мене Горька: яко исполни мя горести Вседержитель зело:
21 I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”
аз исполнь отидох, и ныне тщу мя возврати Господь: и вскую мя нарицаете Ноемминь, Господь смири мя и Вседержитель озлоби мя?
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
И возвратися Ноемминь и Руфь Моавитиня сноха ея с нею, обращающыяся с села Моавля: и приидосте в Вифлеем в начале жатвы ячменя.
