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,
In the time when the judges ruled, there was once a famine in the land. A man from Bethlehem in Judah took his wife and two sons to live in the territory of Moab.
His name was Elimelech and his wife’s was Naomi, and his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. After they had been living in Moab for some time,
3 Ilimelege e bogoi, amola Na: ioumi e da ea dunu mano ilisu fawane esalusu.
Elimelech died, and Naomi 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,
who married Moabite women named Orpah and Ruth. After they had lived there 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.
Mahlon and Chilion both died, and Naomi was left alone, without husband or sons.
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 set out with her daughters-in-law to return from the land of Moab, for she had heard that the Lord had remembered his people and given them food.
7 Ilia gilisili Yuda sogega sinidigi, be logoga ahoanoba,
As they were setting out together on the journey to 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 daughters-in-law, “Go, return both of you to the home of your mother. May the Lord be kind to you as you have been kind to the dead and to 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,
The Lord grant that each of you may find peace and happiness in the house of a new husband.” Then she kissed them; but they began to weep aloud
10 amola ema amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Ninia da gilisili dia dunu fi ilima masunu.”
and 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, “Go back, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Can I still bear sons who might 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,
Go back, my daughters, go your own way, because I am too old to have a husband. Even if I should say, ‘I have hope,’ even if I should have a husband tonight and should bear 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 until they were grown up? Would you remain single for them? No, my daughters! My heart grieves for you, for the Lord has sent me adversity.”
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 they again wept aloud, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth stayed with 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.”
“Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going back to her own people and to her own gods. Go along with her!”
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 answered, “Do not urge me to leave you or to go back. I will go where you go, and I will stay wherever you stay. Your people will be my people, and your God 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.”
I will die where you die, and be buried there. May the Lord bring a curse upon me, if anything but death separate you and me.”
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 ceased urging her to return.
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 they journeyed on until they came to Bethlehem. Their arrival stirred the whole town, and the women said, “Can this be 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.
“Do not call me Naomi,” she said to them, “call me Mara, for the Almighty has given me a bitter lot.
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 had plenty when I left, but the Lord has brought me back empty handed. Why should you call me Naomi, now that the Lord has afflicted me, and the Almighty has brought misfortune 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.
So Naomi and Ruth, her Moabite daughter-in-law, returned from Moab. They reached Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
