Ludi 1
1 Musa: hemonega, Isala: ili hina bagade amo mae hamone, bisisu dunu ilia Isala: ili soge ouligibiga, amo soge da ha: i bagade galu. Be dunu afae ea dio amo Ilimelege esalu, E da Efala: de sosogo fi amoga galu, amola E da Yuda soge amo ganodini, Bedeleheme moilaiga esalusu. Amalu Ea uda Na: ioumi amola elea dunu mano aduna Malone amola Gilione, ilia da Yuda soge yolesili, Moua: be sogega asili esalusu. Ilia da amogai esalu,
There was a famine during the time when the judges ruled Israel, so a man left Bethlehem in Judah and went to live in exile in the country of Moab, along with his wife and two sons.
His name was Elimelech, and his wife's name Naomi. His sons were called Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went to the country of Moab and lived there.
3 Ilimelege e bogoi, amola Na: ioumi e da ea dunu mano ilisu fawane esalusu.
However, Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons.
4 Be ela da Moua: be fi uda a: fini amo Oba amola Ludi elea lai. Amalu ode nabuane agoane galagale,
The sons married Moabite women. One was called Orpah, the other was called Ruth. After about ten years,
5 Malone amola Gilione ela bogoi. Amalu Na: ioumi e da gawa o mano hamedene hisu esalu. Na: ioumi amola Ludi ela Bedeleheme Moilaiga buhagi.
both Mahlon and Chilion died. Naomi was left alone, without her two sons or her husband.
6 Eso enoga Na: ioumi e da amane nabi, Hina Gode e da Ea dunu fi ilima hahawane dogolegele amo gamisu noga: i amola ha: i manu sagale moma: ne bagade ilima i. Amabeba: le e amola esoa: , ilia Moua: be soge amoga masunusa: liligi momagei.
So she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the country of Moab and return home because she had heard that the Lord had blessed his people there with food.
7 Ilia gilisili Yuda sogega sinidigi, be logoga ahoanoba,
She left the place where she had been living and with her two daughters-in-law set out on the road back to the land of Judah.
8 Na: ioumi e da esoa: elama amane sia: i, “Sinidigili amola dia: me ali esaloma. Ali da nama amola bogogia: i dunu ilima asigi bagade hamoi. Gode da alima amo defele asigimu na da hanai.
However, as they left, Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Each of you, go back to your mother's homes, and may the Lord be as kind to you as you have been to me, and to those who have died.
9 Amola Hina Gode da ali noga: le asigiba: le ali afae afae bu dunuma fimu amola diasu lamu da defea.” Be Na: ioumi ea ela nonogone asigibio sia: i. Be amomane ilia didiga: le,
May the Lord give you a good home with another husband.” She kissed them, and they all started to cry loudly.
10 amola ema amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Ninia da gilisili dia dunu fi ilima masunu.”
“No! We want to go back with you to your people,” they replied.
11 “Nadiwi alia da sinidigima!” Na: ioumi e sia: i. “Abuliba: le alia nana gilisili misunusa: sia: bela: ? Alia amola da na dunu mano eno galabeale amoma fimusa: mabela: ?
“Why do you want to go back with me?” Naomi asked. “I'm not able to have any more sons for you to marry.
12 Bu sinidigima! Na da da: i hamoi dagoiba: le, bu gawa hame fimu galebe. Be na dawa: loba da na da wali gasi ganodini gawa fili amola dunu mano lai galea,
Go back home, my daughters, because I'm too old to marry again. Even if I were to sleep with a new husband tonight and had sons,
13 ali da amo mano asigilama: ne ouesaloma: bela: ? O amo hou da alia eno dunu fimusa: yolema: bela? Hame mabu, nadiwi! Amo da amane hame hamomu. Hina Gode da nama baligifa: i. Amaiba: le na da alima asigisa.”
would you wait for them to grow up? Would you decide you weren't going to marry anyone else? No. The whole situation is more bitter for me than it is for you, for the Lord has turned against me!”
14 Bu ilia da muni didigia: i. Amalu Oba ea uda esoa: amo nonogoi amola asigibio sia: i. Amalalu bu sinidigi. Be Ludi da e gagulaligi.
They started crying loudly again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye. But Ruth held on tightly to Naomi.
15 Be Na: ioumi ema amane sia: i “Ludi, di bai da ea dunuma bu ogobele asili amola ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ma asi. Di e amola gilisili moilaiga ogobema.”
“Look, your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back home with her,” said Naomi.
16 Be Ludi da amane sia: i, “Di da na di yolesima: ne, mae sia: ma! Na da ani masunu, di habi ahoasea na masunu. Habi di fisia, na gilisili fifi masunu. Dia dunu fi amo da na dunu fi ganumu amola dia Gode amo da na Gode ganumu.
But Ruth replied, “Please don't keep on telling me to leave you and go back. Where you go, I will go. Where you live, I will live. Your people will be my people. Your God will be my God.
17 Di habi bogosea, na amogai bogomu amola na da amogai uli dogone salimu. Di amola na ania bogobeba: le fawane da afafamu. Amai hame galea, Gode da nama baligili se dabe imunu da defea.”
Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me harshly if I let anything but death separate us!”
18 Be Na: ioumi ea Ludi ba: loba e da ele masunusa: hanai bagade ba: i, be amaiba: le ea liligi eno hame sia: i.
When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped telling Ruth to go home.
19 Ilia ahoana amola Bedeleheme moilaiga doaga: i. Amola ilia doaga: loba, moilai fi dunu ilia bagade nodoi amola hahawane ba: i. Ilia fofogadigili amane sia: i;, “Goe da dafawane Na: ioumila: ?”
So the two of them walked on until they reached Bethlehem. When they arrived there, the whole town got excited. “Is this Naomi?” the women asked.
20 Amola Na: ioumi e amane sia: i, “Na dio Na: ioumi mae sia: ma! Be na da Mala sia: ma! Bai Gode Bagadedafa Ea nama se iasu.
She said to them, “Don't call me Naomi! Call me Mara, for the Almighty has treated me very bitterly.
21 Na gui yolesiba, na da liligi bagohame galu. Be amomane Hina Gode Ea na oule bu sinidigili, na liligi hame gaguli misi. Abuliba: le nama Na: ioumi sia: sala: ? Hina Gode Bagadedafa da nama fofada: nanu nama bidi hamosu ia dagoi.”
I left here full, but the Lord has brought me home empty. Why call me Naomi when the Lord has condemned me, when the Almighty has brought disaster on me?”
22 Amo da bu Na: ioumi ea Moua: be sogega buhagi. Esoa: Ludi (Moua: be uda) amola da misi. Amola ela da bu Bedeleheme moilaiga doaga: loba, ‘bali’ ha: i manu gamisu eso da doaga: i dagoi ba: i.
This is the way that Naomi returned from Moab with Ruth, the Moabite, her daughter-in-law. They arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
