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

¹وكان لنعمي ذو قرابة لرجلها جبار بأس من عشيرة اليمالك اسمه بوعز

²Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”

²فقالت راعوث الموآبية لنعمي دعيني اذهب الى الحقل والتقط سنابل وراء من اجد نعمة في عينيه. فقالت لها اذهبي يا بنتي.

³She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

³فذهبت وجاءت والتقطت في الحقل وراء الحصادين فاتفق نصيبها في قطعة حقل لبوعز الذي من عشيرة اليمالك.

⁴Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “Yahweh bless you.”

⁴واذا ببوعز قد جاء من بيت لحم وقال للحصادين الرب معكم. فقالوا له يباركك الرب.

⁵Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”

⁵فقال بوعز لغلامه الموكل على الحصادين لمن هذه الفتاة.

⁶The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.

⁶فاجاب الغلام الموكل على الحصادين وقال هي فتاة موآبية قد رجعت مع نعمي من بلاد موآب

⁷She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little in the house.”

⁷وقالت دعوني التقط واجمع بين الحزم وراء الحصادين. فجاءت ومكثت من الصباح الى الآن. قليلا ما لبثت في البيت

⁸Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.

⁸فقال بوعز لراعوث ألا تسمعين يا بنتي. لا تذهبي لتلتقطي في حقل آخر وايضا لا تبرحي من ههنا بل هنا لازمي فتياتي.

⁹Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”

⁹عيناك على الحقل الذي يحصدون واذهبي وراءهم. ألم اوص الغلمان ان لا يمسّوك. واذا عطشت فاذهبي الى الآنية واشربي مما استقاه الغلمان.

¹⁰Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”

¹⁰فسقطت على وجهها وسجدت الى الارض وقالت له كيف وجدت نعمة في عينيك حتى تنظر اليّ وانا غريبة.

¹¹Boaz answered her, “It has fully been shown me, all that you have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.

¹¹فاجاب بوعز وقال لها انني قد اخبرت بكل ما فعلت بحماتك بعد موت رجلك حتى تركت اباك وامك وارض مولدك وسرت الى شعب لم تعرفيه من قبل.

¹²May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

¹²ليكافئ الرب عملك وليكن اجرك كاملا من عند الرب اله اسرائيل الذي جئت لكي تحتمي تحت جناحيه.

¹³Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens.”

¹³فقالت ليتني اجد نعمة في عينيك يا سيدي لانك قد عزيتني وطيبت قلب جاريتك وانا لست كواحدة من جواريك.

¹⁴At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it.

¹⁴فقال لها بوعز عند وقت الاكل تقدمي الى ههنا وكلي من الخبز واغمسي لقمتك في الخل. فجلست بجانب الحصادين فناولها فريكا فأكلت وشبعت وفضل عنها.

¹⁵When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.

¹⁵ثم قامت لتلتقط. فأمر بوعز غلمانه قائلا دعوها تلتقط بين الحزم ايضا ولا تؤذوها

¹⁶Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”

¹⁶وأنسلوا ايضا لها من الشمائل ودعوها تلتقط ولا تنتهروها

¹⁷So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel of barley.

¹⁷فالتقطت في الحقل الى المساء وخبطت ما التقطته فكان نحو ايفة شعير.

¹⁸She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.

¹⁸فحملته ودخلت المدينة فرأت حماتها ما التقطته واخرجت واعطتها ما فضل عنها بعد شبعها.

¹⁹Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”

¹⁹فقالت لها حماتها اين التقطت اليوم واين اشتغلت. ليكن الناظر اليك مباركا. فاخبرت حماتها بالذي اشتغلت معه وقالت اسم الرجل الذي اشتغلت معه اليوم بوعز.

²⁰Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “Blessed be he of Yahweh, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”

²⁰فقالت نعمي لكنتها مبارك هو من الرب لانه لم يترك المعروف مع الاحياء والموتى. ثم قالت لها نعمي الرجل ذو قرابة لنا. هو ثاني وليّنا.

²¹Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.’”

²¹فقالت راعوث الموآبية انه قال لي ايضا لازمي فتياتي حتى يكملوا جميع حصادي.

²²Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”

²²فقالت نعمي لراعوث كنّتها انه حسن يا بنتي ان تخرجي مع فتياته حتى لا يقعوا بك في حقل آخر.

²³So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.

²³فلازمت فتيات بوعز في الالتقاط حتى انتهى حصاد الشعير وحصاد الحنطة وسكنت مع حماتها
