1
Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth–lehem–judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κρίνειν τοὺς κριτὰς, καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐν τῇ γῇ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ Βηθλεὲμ Ἰούδα τοῦ παροικῆσαι ἐν ἀγρῷ Μωὰβ, αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ δύο υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ.
2
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth–lehem–judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
Καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀνδρὶ Ἐλιμέλεχ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ Νωεμὶν, καὶ ὄνομα τοῖς δυσὶν υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ Μααλὼν, καὶ Χελαιὼν, Ἐφραθαῖοι ἐκ Βηθλεὲμ τῆς Ἰούδα· καὶ ἤλθοσαν εἰς ἀγρὸν Μωὰβ, καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ.
3
And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἐλιμέλεχ ὁ ἀνὴρ τῆς Νωεμὶν, καὶ κατελείφθη αὕτη καὶ οἱ δύο υἱοὶ αὐτῆς.
4
And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
Καὶ ἐλάβοσαν ἑαυτοῖς γυναῖκας Μωαβίτιδας· ὄνομα τῇ μιᾷ, Ὀρφά· καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ, Ῥούθ· καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ ὡς δέκα ἔτη.
5
And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
Καὶ ἀπέθανον καί γε ἀμφότεροι Μααλὼν καὶ Χελαιών· καὶ κατελείφθη ἡ γυνὴ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν δύο υἱῶν αὐτῆς.
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 that the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread.
Καὶ ἀνεστη αὕτη καὶ αἱ δύο νύμφαι αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἐξ ἀγροῦ Μωὰβ, ὅτι ἤκουσεν ἐν ἀγρῷ Μωὰβ ὅτι ἐπέσκεπται Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, δοῦναι αὐτοῖς ἄρτους.
7
Wherefore 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 unto the land of Judah.
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἦν ἐκεῖ, καὶ αἱ δύο νύμφαι αὐτῆς μετʼ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐπορεύοντο ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι εἰς τὴν γῆν Ἰούδα.
8
And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Καὶ εἶπε Νωεμὶν, ταῖς δυσὶ νύμφαις αὐτῆς, πορεύεσθε δὴ, ἀποστράφητε ἑκάστη εἰς οἶκον μητρὸς αὐτῆς· ποιήσαι Κύριος μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἔλεος, καθὼς ἐποιήσατε μετὰ τῶν τεθνηκότων καὶ μετʼ ἐμοῦ·
9
The Lord grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
Δῴη Κύριος ὑμῖν καὶ εὕρητε ἀνάπαυσιν ἑκάστη ἐν οἴκῳ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς· καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτάς· καὶ ἐπῇραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔλαυσαν.
10
And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.
Καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ, μετὰ σου ἐπιστρέφομεν εἰς τὸν λαόν σου.
11
And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Καὶ εἶπε Νωεμὶν, ἐπιστράφητε δὴ θυγατέρες μου· καὶ ἱνατί πορεύεσθε μετʼ ἐμοῦ; μὴ ἔτι μοι υἱοὶ ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ μου, καὶ ἔσονται ὑμῖν εἰς ἄνδρας;
12
Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
Ἐπιστράφητε δὴ θυγατέρες μου, διότι γεγήρακα τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἀνδρί· ὅτι εἶπα, ὅτι ἐστί μοι ὑπόστασις τοῦ γενηθῆναί με ἀνδρὶ, καὶ τέξομαι υἱούς·
13
Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
Μὴ αὐτοὺς προσδέξεσθε ἕως οὗ ἁδρυνθώσιν; ἢ αὐτοῖς κατασχεθήσεσθε τοῦ μὴ γενέσθαι ἀνδρί; μὴ δὴ θυγατέρες μου, ὅτι ἐπικράνθη μοι ὑπὲρ ὑμᾶς, ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ἐν ἐμοὶ χεὶρ Κυρίου.
14
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
Καὶ ἐπῇραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἔτι· καὶ κατεφίλησεν Ὀρφὰ τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν λαὸν αὐτῆς· Ῥοὺθ δὲ ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῇ.
15
And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.
Καὶ εἶπε Νωεμῖν πρὸς Ῥοὺθ, ἰδοὺ ἀνέστρεψε σύννυμφός σου πρὸς λαὸν αὐτῆς καὶ πρὸς τοὺς θεοὺς αὐτῆς· ἐπιστράφηθι δὴ καὶ σὺ ὀπίσω τῆς συννύμφου σου.
16
1
And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Εἶπε δὴ Ῥοῦθ, μὴ ἀπάντησαί μοι τοῦ καταλιπεῖν σε, ἢ ἀποστρέψαι ὄπισθέν σου, ὅτι σὺ ὅπου ἐὰν πορευθῇς, πορεύσομαι, καὶ οὗ ἐὰν αὐλισθῇς, αὐλισθήσομαι· ὁ λαός σου, λαός μου, καὶ ὁ Θεός σου, Θεός μου·
17
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
Καὶ οὗ ἐὰν ἀποθάνῃς, ἀποθανοῦμαι, κᾀκεῖ ταφήσομαι· τάδε ποιήσαι μοι Κύριος, καὶ τάδε προσθείη, ὅτι θάνατος διαστελεῖ ἀναμέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ.
18
When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
Ἰδοῦσα δὲ Νωεμὶν ὅτι κραταιοῦται αὐτὴ τοῦ πορεύεσθαι μετʼ αὐτῆς, ἐκόπασε τοῦ λαλῆσαι πρὸς αὐτὴν ἔτι.
19
So they two went until they came to Beth–lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth–lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
Ἐπορεύθησαν δὲ ἀμφότεραι, ἕως τοῦ παραγενέσθαι αὐτὰς εἰς Βηθλεέμ· καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὰς εἰς Βηθλεὲμ, καὶ ἤχησε πᾶσα ἡ πόλις ἐπʼ αὐταῖς, καὶ εἶπον, εἰ αὕτη ἐστὶ Νωεμίν;
20
And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὰς, μὴ δὴ καλεῖτέ με Νωεμίν· καλέσατέ με πικρὰν, ὅτι ἐπικράνθη ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ ἱκανὸς σφόδρα.
21
I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
Ἐγὼ πλήρης ἐπορεύθην, καὶ κενὴν ἀπέστρεψέ με ὁ Κύριος· καὶ ἱνατί καλεῖτέ με Νωεμὶν, καὶ Κύριος ἐταπείνωσέ με, καὶ ὁ ἱκανὸς ἐκάκωσέ με;
22
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth–lehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε Νωεμὶν καὶ Ῥοὺθ ἡ Μωαβίτις ἡ νύμφη αὐτῆς ἐπιστρέφουσαι ἐξ ἀγροῦ Μωάβ· αὗται δὲ παρεγενήθησαν εἰς Βηθλεὲμ ἐν ἀρχῇ θερισμοῦ κριθῶν.
