1 A nd Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.

وَكانَ لِنُعْمِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أقارِبِ زَوْجِها اسْمُهُ بُوعَزُ. وَقَدْ كانَ رَجُلاً غَنِيّاً مِنْ عائِلَةِ ألِيمالِكَ.

2 A nd Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.

وَفِي أحَدِ الأيّامِ، قالَتْ راعُوثُ المُوآبِيَّةُ لِنُعْمِي: «أوَدُّ الذَّهابَ إلَى الحُقُولِ لِألتَقِطَ سَنابِلَ وَراءَ مَنْ يُحسِنُ إلَيَّ وَيَسْمَحُ لِيَ بِذَلِكَ.» فَقالَتْ نُعْمِي لَها: «نَعَمْ يا ابْنَتِي، افعَلِي هَذا.»

3 A nd she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.

فَذَهَبَتْ وَوَصَلَتْ إلَى أحَدِ الحُقُولِ. وَابْتَدَأتْ تَلْتَقِطُ سَنابِلَ وَراءَ الحَصّادِينَ. فَإذا بِذَلِكَ الحَقلِ مِنْ حُقُولِ بُوعَزَ الَّذِي مِنْ عائِلَةِ ألِيمالِكَ.

4 A nd, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they answered him, The Lord bless thee.

وَبَعْدَ مُدَّةٍ، أتَى بُوعَزُ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ بَيتَ لَحمَ إلَى الحَقلِ، وَحَيّا الحَصّادِينَ وَقالَ: « اللهُ مَعْكُمْ.» فَرَدُّوا: «يُبارِكُكَ اللهُ.»

5 T hen said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

ثُمَّ سَألَ بُوعَزُ خادِمَهُ المَسؤُولَ عَنِ الحَصّادِينَ: «ابْنَةُ مَنْ هَذِهِ الفَتاةُ؟»

6 A nd the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:

فَأجابَ الخادِمُ المَسؤُولُ عَنِ الحَصّادِينَ: «هَذِهِ فَتاةٌ مُوآبِيَّةٌ. هِيَ الَّتِي رَجِعَتْ مَعَ نُعْمِي مِنْ حُقُولِ مُوآبَ.

7 a nd she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

قالَتْ إنَّها تُرِيدُ أنْ تَلْتَقِطَ السَّنابِلَ الَّتي تَبْقَى بَيْنَ الحُزَمِ وَراءَ الحَصّادِينَ. فَأتَتْ مُنذُ الصَّباحٍ وَمَكَثَتْ إلَى الآنَ. وَهَذا بَيتُها، لَيسَ بَعِيداً مِنْ هُنا.»

8 T hen said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:

فَقالَ بُوعَزُ لِراعُوثَ: «اسْمَعِي يا ابْنَتِي، لا تَذْهَبِي إلَى حَقلٍ آخَرَ لِتَلْتَقِطِي السَّنابِلَ. ابْقَي هُنا قَرِيبَةً مِنَ العامِلاتِ لَدَيَّ.

9 l et thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.

راقِبِيهُنَّ لِتَعْرِفي إلَى أيَّةِ حُقُولٍ يَذْهَبْنَ لِلحَصادِ، وَاتبَعِيهِنَّ إلَيها. وَها أنا أمَرْتُ العامِلِينَ لَدَيَّ بِأنْ لا يُزعِجُوكِ. وَإذا عَطِشْتِ، اشْرَبِي مِنْ أوعِيَةِ الماءِ الَّتِي يَشْرَبُ مِنْها العُمّالُ.»

10 T hen she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?

فَسَقَطَتْ راعُوثُ عَلَى الأرْضِ، وَسَجَدَتْ عَلَى وَجهِها إلَى الأرْضِ، وَقالَتْ لَهُ: «كَيفَ أحسَنْتَ إلَيَّ فَلاحَظتَ وُجُودِي، رُغمَ أنَّنِي فَتاةٌ غَرِيبَةٌ؟»

11 A nd Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.

فَأجابَها بُوعَزُ: «قَد أخبَرُونِي كَثِيراً عَنْ كُلِّ الأُمُورِ الحَسَنَةِ الَّتِي فَعَلْتِها نَحوَ حَماتِكِ بَعدَ مَوتِ زَوجِكِ، فَقَدْ تَرَكتِ أباكِ وَأُمَّكِ وَوَطَنَكِ، وَأتَيتِ إلَى شَعبٍ لَمْ تَعرِفِيهِ مِنْ قَبلُ.

12 T he Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

لِيُجازِكِ اللهُ عَلَى العَمَلِ الصّالِحِ الَّذِي فَعَلتِهِ. وَلتَكُنْ مُكافَأتُكِ كامِلَةً مِنَ اللهِ ، إلَهِ إسْرائِيلَ، الَّذِي جِئتِ إلَيهِ لِلاحتِماءِ بِجَناحَيِهِ.»

13 T hen she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.

فَقالَتْ راعُوثُ: «لَيتَنِي أكُونُ عِندَ حُسنِ ظَنِّكَ يا سَيِّدِي، لِأنَّكَ كُنتَ لَطِيفاً مَعِي وَمُحسِناً إلَيَّ. وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمْتَ بِكَلِماتٍ لَطِيفَةٍ إلَيَّ أنا خادِمَتَكَ، مَعَ أنَّنِي لا أسْتَحِقُّ أنْ أكُونَ واحِدَةً مِنْ جَوارِيكَ.»

14 A nd Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.

وَفِي وَقتِ الغَداءِ، قالَ بُوعَزُ لَها: «تَعالَي وَتَناوَلِي الطَّعامَ مَعَنا، وَاغمِسِي خُبزَكِ فِي هَذا الطَّعامِ.» فَجَلَسَت راعُوثُ إلَى جانِبِ الحَصّادِينَ. ثُمَّ أعْطاها بُوعَزُ بَعضَ الفَرِيكَةِ المَشوِيَّةِ، فَأكَلَت حَتَّى شَبِعَت، وَفَضُلَ مِنْ طَعامِها.

15 A nd when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:

ثُمَّ قامَتْ لِتَعُودَ إلَى جَمعِ السَّنابِلِ. فَأوصَى بُوعَزُ العامِلِينَ لَدَيهِ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «دَعُوها تَجْمَعْ حَتَّى بَينَ أكْداسِ الحُبُوبِ، وَلا تُحْرِجُوها أوْ تُزعِجُوها.

16 a nd let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.

تَعَمَّدُوا أنْ تُسْقِطُوا بَعْضَ السَّنابِلِ السَّمِينَةِ أيضاً، وَاترُكُوها وَراءَكُمْ كَي تَلتَقِطَها. تَذَكَّرُوا أنْ لا تُزعِجُوها.» نُعمِي تَعلَمُ بِأمرِ بُوعَز

17 S o she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.

وَهَكَذا بَقِيَت فِي الحَقلِ لِجَمعِ السَّنابِلِ حَتَّى المَساءِ. ثُمَّ دَرَسَتْ ما جَمَعَتهُ، فَكانَ مِقدارَ قُفَّةٍ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ.

18 A nd she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.

فَحَمَلَتْ ما دَرَسَتْهُ وَعادَتْ إلَى البَلدَةِ. وَأرَت راعُوثُ حَماتَها ما جَمَعَتْهُ. ثُمَّ أخرَجَتِ الطَّعامَ الَّذِي زادَ عَنْ حاجَتِها مِنَ وَجْبَةِ الغَداءِ، وَأعْطَتْهُ لَها.

19 A nd her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.

فَقالَتْ لَها حَماتُها: «أينَ التَقَطْتِ السَّنابِلَ اليَومَ؟ أينَ عَمِلْتِ؟ مُبارَكٌ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي انْتَبَهَ إلَيكِ.» فَأخبَرَتْ راعُوثُ حَماتَها بِكُلِّ ما حَدَثَ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ، وَقالَتْ: «اسمُ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي عَمِلتُ عِندَهُ اليَومَ بُوعَزُ.»

20 A nd Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.

فَقالَتْ نُعمِي لِكِنَّتِها: «لِيُبارِكْهُ اللهُ ، الَّذِي هُوَ مُحسِنٌ وَأمِينٌ نَحوَ الأمواتِ وَالأحياءِ.» ثُمَّ قالَتْ نُعمِي لِراعُوثَ: «بُوعَزُ مِنْ أقرِبائِنا، وَهُوَ مِنْ حُماتِنا.»

21 A nd Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.

فَقالَتْ راعُوثُ المُوآبِيَّةُ: «وَقَدْ قالَ لِي أيضاً: ‹التَصِقِي بِالعامِلاتِ وَالعامِلِينَ لَدَيَّ إلَى أنْ يُكمِلُوا الحَصادَ كُلَّهُ.›»

22 A nd Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.

فَقالَتْ نُعمِي لِكِنَّتِها راعُوثُ: «يا ابنَتِي، جَيِّدٌ أنْ تُلازِمِي جَوارِيِهِ حَتَّى لا يَعتَدِيَ عَلَيكِ أحَدٌ فِي أيِّ حَقلٍ آخَرَ.»

23 S o she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.

فَالتَصَقَتْ راعُوثُ بِجَوارِي بُوعَزَ لِتَلتَقِطَ السَّنابِلَ حَتَّى نِهايَةِ حَصادِ الشَّعِيرِ، بَلْ وَحَتَّى نِهايَةِ حَصادِ القَمْحِ. وَكانَتْ تَسكُنُ مَعَ حَماتِها.
