Ruth 1
1 And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
E ndalo mane jongʼad bura ni e loch, kech ne nitie e piny, kendo ngʼat moro moa Bethlehem e piny Juda, kaachiel gi chiege kod yawuote ariyo, nodhi mondo odag e piny Moab kuom kinde moko.
2 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 Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
Nying ngʼatno ne Elimelek, to nying chiege ne Naomi, kendo nying yawuote ariyogo ne gin Malon gi Kilion. Ne gin jo-Efrath moa Bethlehem e piny Juda. Kendo negidhi e piny Moab mi gidak kuno.
3 And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left, and her two sons.
To koro Elimelek ma chwor Naomi notho, mi nodongʼ gi yawuote ariyo.
4 And they took wives for them of the women of Moab. The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth, and they dwelt there about ten years.
Negikendo nyi Moab, ma achiel ne nyinge Orpa, to machielo Ruth. Kane gisedak kuno kuom kinde madirom higni apar,
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died, both of them, and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.
Malon gi Kilion bende notho, kendo Naomi koro nodongʼ kende maonge yawuote ariyo kaachiel gi chwore.
6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread.
Kane owinjo wach gie piny Moab ni Jehova Nyasaye osekecho joge komiyogi chiemo, Naomi kod mond yawuote ne joikore mar dok thurgi ka gia kanyo.
7 And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
Ne giwuok kanyo, en kaachiel gi mond yawuote ariyo, kendo negimako wuoth ka giluwo yo mane dwokogi nyaka e piny Juda.
8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother's house. Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Eka Naomi nowachone mond yawuote ariyo niya, “Doguru, ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu, nyaka ute mineu. Mad Jehova Nyasaye timnu ngʼwono, mana kaka usetimo ne chwou mosetho kendo ne an bende.
9 Jehovah grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices, and wept.
Mad Jehova Nyasaye tim ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu ngʼwono mondo ubed gi kwe kod mor e kend ma ubiro donjoe.” Eka nogonegi oriti, kendo ne giywak malit,
10 And they said to her, No, but we will return with thee to thy people.
kagiwacho niya, “Wabiro dok kodi thuru ir jou.”
11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters. Why will ye go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
To Naomi nowacho niya, “Nyiga, doguru thucheu. Angʼo momiyo udwaro dhi koda? Bende pod anyalo nywolo yawuowi ma dikendu?
12 Turn again, my daughters. Go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope. If I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons,
Doguru thucheu, nyiga; aseti ma ok anyal bedo gi dichwo machielo. To kata dine bed ni pod aparo ni an gi geno, kata dine bed ni abedo gi dichwo otienoni mi anywolo yawuowi
13 would ye therefore delay till they were grown? Would ye therefore stay from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah has gone forth against me.
bende duritgi nyaka gibed jomadongo? Bende dusiki ma ok okendu kapod uritogi? Ooyo, nyiga. An ema an-gi lit moloyou, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osekuma!”
14 And they lifted up their voices, and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
Kane giwinjo ma, ne giywak kendo. Eka Orpa nogone wuon odgi oriti, to Ruth to notwere kode.
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Return thou after thy sister-in-law.
Naomi nowachone Ruth niya, “Ne, nyieki osewuok dok ir jogi kendo ir nyisechegi. In bende dog kode.”
16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee, for where thou go, I will go, and where thou lodge, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
Ruth nodwoke niya “We chuna mondo aweyi kata apogra kodi. Kuma idhiyo ema an bende abiro dhiye, kendo kama idakie ema abiro dakie. Jogi ema nobed joga kendo Nyasachi ema nobed Nyasacha.
17 Where thou die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts thee and me.
Kama inithoe ema anathoe kendo kuno ema noyikae. Mad Jehova Nyasaye timna marach, kendo otimna marach ahinya, kapo ni gimoro amora opoga kodi ma ok mana tho kende!”
18 And when she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
Kane Naomi oneno kaka Ruth noketo chunye mar dhi kode, noweyo chune.
19 So those two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they came to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and the women said, Is this Naomi?
Omiyo Naomi gi chi wuode nomedo dhiyo nyaka negichopo Bethlehem. Kane gichopo Bethlehem, dala duto nobwok kane onene, kendo mon nopenjore kendgi niya, “Ma bende dibed Naomi adier?”
20 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
To Naomi nokonegi niya, “Kik uluonga ni Naomi, to luongauru ni Mara (tiende ni Makech), nikech Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osemiyo ngimana obedo makech miwuoro.
21 I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty. Why do ye call me Naomi, seeing Jehovah has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?
Ne adhi ka an-gi gik moko duto, to Jehova Nyasaye oseduoga ka an-gi lweta nono. Uluonga ni Naomi nangʼo? Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osechwada kendo osekuma malit.”
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
Kamano e kaka Naomi noduogo koa Moab, ka Ruth nyar Moab, ma chi wuode, ni kode. Negichopo Bethlehem ka kinde mikaye shairi chakore.
