Rút 1
1 Stalo se pak za času soudců, že byl hlad v zemi. I odšel člověk z Betléma Judova, a bydlil pohostinu v krajině Moábské s manželkou svou a se dvěma syny svými.
Now there came a time, in the days of the judges, when there was no food in the land. And a certain man went from Beth-lehem-judah, he and his wife and his two sons, to make a living-place in the country of Moab.
2 Jméno pak muže toho Elimelech, a jméno ženy jeho Noémi, jméno také dvou synů jeho Mahalon a Chelion, Efratejští z Betléma Judova; a přišedše do krajiny Moábské, bydlili tam.
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and were there for some time.
3 Umřel pak Elimelech, muž Noémi; i pozůstala ona s oběma syny svými.
And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, came to his end; and only her two sons were with her.
4 Kteříž pojali sobě ženy Moábské; jméno jedné bylo Orfa a jméno druhé Rut. I bydlili tam téměř deset let.
And they took two women of Moab as their wives: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth; and they went on living there for about ten years.
5 Umřeli také oni oba dva, Mahalon i Chelion, a zůstala žena ta po dvou synech svých a manželu svém.
And Mahlon and Chilion came to their end; and the woman was without her two sons and her husband.
6 Tedy vstavši ona s nevěstami svými, navracela se z krajiny Moábské; nebo slyšela v krajině Moábské, že Hospodin navštívil lid svůj, dav jemu chléb.
So she and her daughters-in-law got ready to go back from the country of Moab, for news had come to her in the country of Moab that the Lord, in mercy for his people, had given them food.
7 Vyšedši tedy z místa, na němž bydlila, a obě nevěsty její s ní, daly se na cestu, aby se navrátily do země Judské.
And she went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on their way to go back to the land of Judah.
8 Řekla pak Noémi oběma nevěstám svým: Jděte, navraťte se jedna každá do domu matky své. Učiniž Hospodin s vámi milosrdenství, jakož jste i vy činili s mrtvými syny mými i se mnou.
And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go back to your mothers' houses: may the Lord be good to you as you have been good to the dead and to me:
9 Dejž vám Hospodin, abyste nalezly odpočinutí, jedna každá v domě muže svého. I políbila jich, ony pak pozdvihše hlasu svého, plakaly.
May the Lord give you rest in the houses of your husbands. Then she gave them a kiss; and they were weeping bitterly.
10 A řekly jí: Obrátíme se raději s tebou k lidu tvému.
And they said to her, No, but we will go back with you to your people.
11 I řekla Noémi: Navraťte se, dcerky mé. Proč chcete jíti se mnou? Zdaliž ještě budu míti syny, aby byli vaši muži?
But Naomi said, Go back, my daughters; why will you come with me? Have I more sons in my body, to become your husbands?
12 Navraťte se, dcerky mé, a odejděte, neboť jsem již stará k vdání; nýbrž bych i řekla, že mám naději, bych i noci této se vdala a syny zrodila,
Go back, my daughters, and go on your way; I am so old now that I may not have another husband. If I said, I have hopes, if I had a husband tonight, and might have sons,
13 Zdaž byste na ně čekaly, až by dorostli? Zdaliž tou příčinou meškati se budete, abyste se neměly vdáti? Ne tak, mé dcerky, nebo mé trápení větší jest nežli vaše, proto že ruka Hospodinova jest proti mně.
Would you keep yourselves till they were old enough? would you keep from having husbands for them? No, my daughters; but I am very sad for you that the hand of the Lord is against me.
14 Ony pak pozdvihše hlasu, opět plakaly. A Orfa políbivši svegruši svou, odešla, Rut pak přídržela se jí.
Then again they were weeping; and Orpah gave her mother-in-law a kiss, but Ruth would not be parted from her.
15 Kteréžto řekla Noémi: Aj, přítelkyně tvá navrátila se k lidu svému a k bohům svým, navratiž se také za ní.
And Naomi said, See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods: go back after your sister-in-law.
16 Ale Rut řekla: Nenuť mne, abych tě opustiti a od tebe odjíti měla. Nebo kamž se koli obrátíš, půjdu, a kdekoli bydliti budeš, i já bydliti budu; lid tvůj lid můj, a Bůh tvůj Bůh můj.
But Ruth said, Give up requesting me to go away from you, or to go back without you: for where you go I will go; and where you take your rest I will take my rest; your people will be my people, and your God my God.
17 Kdekoli umřeš, umru, a tu pochována budu. Toto mi učiň Hospodin, a toto přidej, že toliko smrt rozdělí mne s tebou.
Wherever death comes to you, death will come to me, and there will be my last resting-place; the Lord do so to me and more if we are parted by anything but death.
18 Tedy viduci, že se na tom ustavila, aby šla s ní, přestala k ní mluviti.
And when she saw that Ruth was strong in her purpose to go with her she said no more.
19 I šly obě dvě spolu, až přišly k Betlému. I stalo se, že když přišly do Betléma, roznesla se pověst o nich po všem městě, a pravili: To-li jest ta Noémi?
So the two of them went on till they came to Beth-lehem. And when they came to Beth-lehem all the town was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
20 Jimž ona řekla: Nenazývejte mne Noémi, říkejte mi Mara; nebo hořkostí velikou naplnil mne Všemohoucí.
And she said to them, Do not let my name be Naomi, but Mara, for the Ruler of all has given me a bitter fate.
21 Vyšla jsem plná, teď pak prázdnou mne zase Hospodin přivedl. Pročež tedy nazýváte mne Noémi, poněvadž mne Hospodin ssoužil, a Všemohoucí mne znuzil?
I went out full, and the Lord has sent me back again with nothing; why do you give me the name Naomi, seeing that the Lord has given witness against me, and the Ruler of all has sent sorrow on me?
22 A navrátila se Noémi s Rut Moábskou, nevěstou svou; navrátila se pak z krajiny Moábské. I přišly do Betléma, když počínali žíti ječmene.
So Naomi came back out of the country of Moab, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her; and they came to Beth-lehem in the first days of the grain-cutting.
