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,
It happened in the days when the judges ruled that there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem of Judah went to the country of Moab with his wife and his two sons.
The name of the man was Elimelek, and the name of his wife was Naomi. The names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion, who were Ephrathites of Bethlehem of Judah. They arrived at the country of Moab and lived there.
3 Ilimelege e bogoi, amola Na: ioumi e da ea dunu mano ilisu fawane esalusu.
Then Elimelek, 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,
These sons took wives from the women of Moab; the name of one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth. They lived there for 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.
Then both Mahlon and Kilion died, leaving Naomi without her husband and without her two children.
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.
Then Naomi decided to leave Moab with her daughters-in-law and return to Judah because she had heard in the region of Moab that Yahweh had helped his people in need and had given them food.
7 Ilia gilisili Yuda sogega sinidigi, be logoga ahoanoba,
So she left the place where she had been with her two daughters-in-law, and they walked down the road to return 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.
Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return, each of you, to your mother's house. May Yahweh show kindness toward you, as you have shown kindness toward the dead and toward me.
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 grant you that you find rest, each of you in the house of another husband.” Then she kissed them, and they raised their voices and cried.
10 amola ema amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Ninia da gilisili dia dunu fi ilima masunu.”
They said to her, “No! We will return with you to your people.”
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: ?
But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters! Why will you go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb for you, so that they may become your husbands?
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,
Turn back, my daughters, go your own way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said, 'I hope I get a husband tonight,' and then give birth to 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 therefore wait until they were grown? Would you choose not to marry a husband? No, my daughters! It is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of Yahweh has gone out 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.
Then her daughters-in-law lifted up their voices and cried again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law farewell, but Ruth held on to her.
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.”
Naomi said, “Listen, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. Go back with your sister-in-law.”
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 said, “Do not make me go away from you, for where you go, I will go; where you stay, I will stay; your people will be my people, and 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 Yahweh punish me, and even more, if anything but death ever separates 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 arguing with her.
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 traveled until they came to the town of Bethlehem. It happened that when they arrived in Bethlehem, the entire town was very excited about them. The women said, “Is this Naomi?”
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.
But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi. Call me Bitter, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
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 went out full, but Yahweh has brought me home again empty. So why do you call me Naomi, seeing Yahweh has condemned me, that the Almighty has afflicted 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.
So Naomi and Ruth the Moabite woman, her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
