| 1:1 | ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κρίνειν τοὺς κριτὰς καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐν τῆ γῆ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ Βαιθλέεμ τῆς ᾿Ιούδα τοῦ παροικῆσαι ἐν ἀγρῷ Μωάβ, αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ. |
| 1:2 | καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀνδρὶ ᾿Αβειμέλεχ, καὶ ὄνομα τοῖς δυσὶν υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ Μααλὼν καὶ ών, ᾿Εφραθαῖοι ἐκ Βαιθλέεμ τῆς Ἰούδα· καὶ ἥλθοσαν εἰς ἀγρὸν καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ. |
| 1:3 | καὶ ἀπέθανεν ᾿Αβειμέλεχ ὁ ἀνὴρ τῆς Νωεμείν, καὶ κατελείφθη αὕτη καὶ οἱ δύο υἱοὶ αὐτῆς. |
| 1:4 | καὶ ἐλάβοσαν ἑαυτοῖς γυναῖκας Μωαβείτιδας· ὄνομα τῇ μιᾷ ᾿Ορφά, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ ῾Ρούθ· καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ ὡς δέκα ἔτη. |
| 1:5 | καὶ ἀπέθανον καί γε ἀμφότεροι, Μααλὼν καὶ Χελαιών· καὶ κατελείφθη ἡ γυνὴ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν δύο υἱῶν αὐτῆς. |
| 1:6 | Καὶ ἀνέστη αὕτη καὶ αἱ δύο νύμφαι αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἐξ ἀγροῦ Μωάβ, ὅτι ἤκουσαν ἐν ἀγρῷ Μωὰβ ὅτι ᾿Επέσκεπται Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, δοῦναι αὐτοῖς ἄρτους. |
| 1:7 | καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἦν ἐκεῖ, καὶ αἱ δύο νύμφαι αὐτῆς μετ᾿ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐπορεύοντο ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι εἰς τὴν γῆν Ἰούδα. |
| 1:8 | καὶ εἶπεν Νωεμεὶν ταῖς νύμφαις αὐτῆς Πορεύεσθε δή, ἀποστράφητε ἑκάστη εἰς οἶκον μητρὸς αὐτῆς· ποιήσαι κύριος μεθ’ ὑμῶν ἔλεος, καθὼς ἐποιήσατε μετὰ τῶν τεθνηκότων καὶ μετ’ ἐμοῦ· |
| 1:9 | δῴη κύριος ὑμῖν καὶ εὕροιτε ἀνάπαυσιν, ἑκάστη ἐν οἴκῳ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς. καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτάς· καὶ ἐπῆραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκλαυσαν. |
| 1:10 | καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ Μετὰ σοῦ ἐπιστρέφομεν εἰς τὸν λαόν σου. |
| 1:11 | καὶ εἶπεν Νωεμείν ᾿Επιστράφητε δή, θυγατέρες μου· καὶ ἵνα τί πορεύεσθε μετ’ ἑ μοῦ ; μὴ ἔτι μοι υἱοὶ ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ μου, καὶ ἔσονται ὑμίν εἰς ἄνδρας; |
| 1:12 | ἐπιστράφητε δή, θυγατέρες μου, διότι γεγήρακα τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἀνδρί· ὅτι εἶπα ὅτι ἔστιν μοι ὑπόστασις τοῦ γενηθῆναί με ἀνδρὶ καὶ τέξομαι υἱούς, |
| 1:13 | μὴ αὐτοὺς προσδέξεσθε ἕως οὗ ἁδρυνθῶσιν ; ἢ αὐτοῖς κατασχεθήσεσθε τοῦ μὴ γενέσθαι ἀνδρί; μὴ δὴ θυγατέρες μου, ὅτι ἐπικράνθη μοι ὑπὲρ ὑμᾶς, ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ἐν ἐμοὶ χεὶρ Κυρίου. |
| 1:14 | καὶ ἐπῆραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἔτι· καὶ κατεφίλησεν Ορφὰ τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν λαὸν αὐτῆς, ῾Ροὺθ δὲ ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῇ. |
| 1:15 | καὶ εἶπεν Νωεμεὶν πρός ῾Ρούθ ἰδοὺ ἀνέστρεψεν σύννυμφός σου πρὸς λαὸν αὐτῆς καὶ πρὸς τοὺς θεοὺς αὐτῆς. ἐπιστράφητι δὴ καὶ σὺ ὀπίσω τῆς συννύμφου σου. |
| 1:16 | εἶπεν δὲ ῾Ρούθ Μὴ ἀπαντήσαι ἐμοὶ τοῦ καταλιπεῖν σε ἡ ἀποστρέψαι ὄπισθέν σου, ὅτι σὺ ὅπου ἐὰν πορευθῇς πορεύσομαι, καἰ οὗ ἐὰν αὐλισθῇς αὐλισθήσομαι. ὁ λαός σου λαός μου, καὶ ὁ θεός σου θεός μου· |
| 1:17 | καὶ οὗ ἐὰν ἀποθάνῃς ἀποθανοῦμαι, κἀκεῖ ταφήσομαι. τάδε ποιήσαι μοι Κύριος καὶ τάδε προσθείη, ὅτι θάνατος διαστελεῖ ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ. |
| 1:18 | ἰδοῦσα δὲ Νωεμεὶν ὅτι κραταιοῦται αὐτὴ τοῦ πορεύεσθαι μετ’ αὐτῆς, ἐκόπασεν τοῦ λαλῆσαι πρὸς αὐτὴν ἔτι |
| 1:19 | ᾿Επορεύθησαν δὲ ἀμφότεραι ἕως τοῦ παραγενέσθαι αὐτὰς εἰς Βαιθλέεμ. καὶ ἤχησεν πᾶσα ἡ πόλις ἐπ’ αὐτῆς, κοὶ εἶπον Αὕτη ἐστὶν Νωεμείν ; |
| 1:20 | καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτάς Μὴ δὴ καλεῖτέ με Νωεμείν, καλέσατέ με πικράν, ὅτι ἐπικράνθη ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ ἱκανὸς σφόδρα. |
| 1:21 | ἐγὼ πλήρης ἐπορεύθην, κοὶ κενὴν ἀπέστρεψέν με ὁ κύριος· καὶ ἵνα τί καλεῖτέ με Νωεμείν, καὶ ἐταπείνωσέν με, καὶ ὁ ἱκανὸς ἐκάκωσέν με,. |
| 1:22 | καὶ ἐπέ Νωεμεὶν καὶ ῾Ροὺθ ἡ Μωαβεῖτις ἡ νύμφη αὐτῆς ἐπιστρέφουσα ἀγροῦ Μωάβ· αὗται δὲ παρεγενήθησαν εἰς Βαιθλέεμ ἐν ἁρχῇ θερισμοῦ κριθῶν. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
