Rut 1

Retournez, mes filles, allez ; car je suis trop vieille pour être à un mari ; si je disais que j’en ai l’espérance, quand cette nuit même je serais à un mari, et que même j’enfanterais des fils :

Volveos, hijas mías, é idos; que yo ya soy vieja para ser para varón. Y aunque dijese: Esperanza tengo; y esta noche fuese con varón, y aun pariese hijos;

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;

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,
