< Rut 1 >
1 I Dommernes Dage blev der engang Hungersnød i Landet. Da drog en Mand fra Betlehem i Juda til Moabiternes Land for at bo der som fremmed med sin Hustru og sine to Sønner.
And it was in [the] days of [the] judging of the judges and it was a famine in the land and he went a man from Beth-lehem Judah to sojourn in [the] region of Moab he and wife his and [the] two sons his.
2 Manden bed Elimelek, hans Hustru No'omi og hans to Sønner Malon og Hiljon, Efratiter fra Betlehem i Juda, og de kom til Moabiternes Land og opholdt sig der.
And [the] name of the man [was] Elimelech and [the] name of wife his [was] Naomi and [the] name of [the] two sons his - [was] Mahlon and Kilion Ephrathites from Beth-lehem Judah and they came [the] region of Moab and they were there.
3 Så døde Elimelek, No'omis Mand, og hun sad tilbage med sine to Sønner.
And he died Elimelech [the] husband of Naomi and she was left she and [the] two sons her.
4 De tog sig moabitiske Hustruer; den ene hed Orpa, den anden Rut. Men da de havde boet der en halv Snes År,
And they took for themselves wives Moabite [the] name of the one [was] Orpah and [the] name of the second [was] Ruth and they dwelt there about ten years.
5 døde også de to, Malon og Kiljon, så at Kvinden sad alene tilbage efter sine to Sønner og sin Mand.
And they died also both of them Mahlon and Kilion and she was left the woman from both children her and from husband her.
6 Da brød hun op med sine Sønnekoner for at vende hjem fra Moabiternes Land; thi hun havde hørt i Moabiternes Land, at HERREN havde set til sit Folk og givet dem Brød.
And she arose she and daughters-in-law her and she returned from [the] region of Moab if she had heard in [the] region of Moab that he had visited Yahweh people his by giving to them food.
7 Så drog hun sammen med sine to Sønnekoner bort fra det Sted, hvor hun havde opholdt sig, men på Hjemvejen til Judas Land
And she went out from the place where she had been there and [the] two daughters-in-law her [were] with her and they went on the way to return to [the] land of Judah.
8 sagde No'omi til sine to Sønnekoner: "Vend nu tilbage hver til sin Moders Hus! HERREN være barmhjertig imod eder, som I har været imod de døde og mig;
And she said Naomi to [the] two daughters-in-law her go return [each] woman to [the] house of mother her (may he deal *Q(K)*) Yahweh with you covenant loyalty just as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
9 HERREN give eder, at I må finde Ro, hver i sin Mands Hus!" Og hun kyssede dem. Men de gav sig til at græde højt
May he give Yahweh to you and find rest [each] woman [the] house of husband her and she kissed them and they raised voice their and they wept.
10 og sagde til hende: "Nej! vi vil følge dig hjem til dit Folk!"
And they said to her that with you we will return to people your.
11 Men No'omi sagde: "Vend tilbage, mine Døtre! Hvorfor vil I drage med mig? Bærer jeg endnu Sønner i mit Skød, som kan blive eders Mænd?
And she said Naomi go back O daughters my why? will you go with me ¿ still [belong] to me [do] sons in inward parts my and they will become of you husbands.
12 Vend tilbage, mine Døtre, gå nu hjem, thi jeg er for gammel til at blive en Mands Hustru. Og selv om jeg tænkte, at jeg endnu havde Håb, selv om jeg endnu i Nat tilhørte en Mand og virkelig fødte Sønner,
Go back O daughters my go for I am [too] old for belonging to a husband if I said there for me [is] hope also I belonged this night to a husband and also I bore sons.
13 skulde I så derfor vente, til de blev voksne? Skulde I derfor stænge eder inde og leve ugifte? Nej, mine Døtre, det gør mig såre ondt for eder, thi mig har HERRENs Hånd ramt!"
¿ Therefore - will you wait until that they will grow up ¿ therefore will you shut yourselves off to not to belong to a husband may not [it be] O daughters my for it is bitter to me very more than you that it has gone forth on me [the] hand of Yahweh.
14 De gav sig da igen til at græde højt, og Orpa kyssede sin Svigermoder, men Rut klyngede sig til hende.
And they raised voice their and they wept again and she kissed Orpah mother-in-law her and Ruth she clung to her.
15 Da sagde hun: "Se, din Svigerinde er vendt tilbage til sit Folk og sin Gud; vend du også tilbage og følg din Svigerinde!"
And she said there! she has returned sister-in-law your to people her and to gods her go back after sister-in-law your.
16 Men Rut svarede: "Nød mig ikke til at forlade dig og vende tilbage! Nej, hvor du går hen, der vil jeg gå hen, og hvor du tager Bolig, der vil jeg tage Bolig; dit Folk skal være mit Folk, og din Gud skal være min Gud;
And she said Ruth may not you entreat me to abandon you to turn back from after you for to where you will go I will go and at where you will lodge I will lodge people your [will be] people my and God your [will be] God my.
17 hvor du dør, der vil jeg dø, og der vil jeg jordes. HERREN ramme mig både med det ene og det andet: Kun Døden skal skille os ad!"
At where you will die I will die and there I will be buried thus may he do Yahweh to me and thus may he add if death it will separate between me and between you.
18 Da No'omi så, at det var hendes faste Vilje at drage med hende. holdt hun op at tale til hende derom,
And she saw that [was] determined she to go with her and she ceased to speak to her.
19 og de drog da videre sammen, indtil de kom til Betlehem. Men da de kom til Betlehem, blev der Røre i hele Byen, og Kvinderne sagde: "Er det No'omi?"
And they went [the] two of them until came they Beth-lehem and it was when came they Beth-lehem and it was excited all the city on them and they [fem] said ¿ [is] this Naomi.
20 Men hun sagde til dem: "Kald mig ikke No'omi; kald mig Mara", thi den Almægtige har voldet mig megen bitter Smerte!
And she said to them may not you call me Naomi call me Mara for he has caused bitterness [the] Almighty to me exceedingly.
21 Rig drog jeg herfra, og fattig har HERREN ført mig tilbage. Hvorfor kalder I mig No'omi, når HERREN har vidnet imod mig og den Almægtige tilskikket mig Ulykke?"
I full I went and empty he has brought back me Yahweh why? do you call me Naomi and Yahweh he has testified against me and [the] Almighty he has done harm to me.
22 Således vendte No'omi tilbage fra Moabiternes Land tillige med sin Sønnekone, Moabiterinden Rut, og de kom til Betlehem først på Byghøsten.
And she returned Naomi and Ruth the Moabite [woman] daughter-in-law her [was] with her who returned from [the] region of Moab and they they came Beth-lehem at [the] beginning of [the] harvest of barley.
