Ruth 1
1 In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man from Bethlehem in Judah, with his wife and two sons, went to reside in the land of Moab.
Bara abbootiin murtii bulchaa turanitti beelli biyyatti buʼe; namichi Beetlihem Yihuudaa keessa jiraatu tokko niitii isaatii fi ilmaan isaa lamaan fudhatee biyya Moʼaab jiraachuu dhaqe.
2 The man’s name was Elimelech, his wife’s name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah, and they entered the land of Moab and settled there.
Maqaan namichaa Eliimelek, maqaan niitii isaa Naaʼomiin, maqaan ilmaan isaa lamaanii immoo Mahiloonii fi Kiliiyoon jedhama ture. Isaanis namoota Efraataa kan biyya Yihuudaa Beetlihem keessa jiraatan turan. Jarris biyya Moʼaab dhaqanii achi jiraatan.
3 Then Naomi’s husband Elimelech died, and she was left with her two sons,
Eliimelek dhirsi Naaʼomiin ni duʼe; isheenis ilmaan ishee lamaan wajjin hafte.
4 who took Moabite women as their wives, one named Orpah and the other named Ruth. And after they had lived in Moab about ten years,
Isaanis dubartoota Moʼaab fuudhan; isheen tokko Orphaa kaan immoo Ruut jedhamti. Erga isaan waggaa kudhan achi jiraatanii booddee,
5 both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and without her husband.
Mahiloonii fi Kiliiyoon ni duʼan. Naaʼomiinis ilmaan ishee lamaanii fi dhirsa ishee dhabdee kophaa hafte.
6 When Naomi heard in Moab that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the land of Moab.
Isheenis utuu Moʼaab jirtuu akka Waaqayyo saba isaa yaadatee nyaata kenneef dhageesse; Naaʼomiinii fi Niitonni ilmaan ishees gara biyya isheetti deebiʼuuf qophaaʼan.
7 Accompanied by her two daughters-in-law, she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road leading back to the land of Judah.
Isheenis iddoo jiraachaa turtee kaatee niitota ilmaan ishee wajjin gara biyya Yihuudaatti deebiʼuuf karaa qabatte.
8 Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back, each of you to your mother’s home. May the LORD show you loving devotion, as you have shown to your dead and to me.
Ergasiis Naaʼomiin niitota ilmaan ishee lamaaniin akkana jette; “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan gara mana haadhota keessaniitti deebiʼaa. Akkuma dhirsoota keessan kanneen duʼanii fi anaafis arjoomtan sana Waaqayyo isiniif haa arjoomu.
9 May the LORD enable each of you to find rest in the home of your new husband.” And she kissed them as they wept aloud
Waaqayyo tokkoo tokkoo keessaniifis mana dhirsa itti heerumtaniitti boqonnaa isinii haa kennu.” Isheenis ergasii isaan dhungate; isaanis sagalee ol fudhatanii booʼanii
10 and said, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”
“Waawuu, nu si wajjin gara saba keetiitti deebina” jedhaniin.
11 But Naomi replied, “Return home, my daughters. Why would you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb to become your husbands?
Naaʼomiin garuu akkana jette; “Yaa intallan ko, gara mana keessaniitti deebiʼaa. Maaliif na wajjin deemtu? Ani siʼachi ilmaan dhirsa isiniif taʼuu dandaʼan daʼaa?
12 Return home, my daughters. Go on, for I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was hope for me to have a husband tonight and to bear sons,
Yaa intallan koo gara mana keessaniitti deebiʼaa; ani dhirsa biraatti heerumuudhaaf dulloomeera. Yoo ani abdii qaba jedhee halkanuma kana heerumee ilmaan daʼe illee,
13 would you wait for them to grow up? Would you refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.”
isin hamma isaan guddatanitti ni eeggattuu? Isaan eeggachuuf jettanii utuu hin heerumin haftuu ree? Lakkii yaa intallan koo. Kun isin caalaa natti ulfaata; harki Waaqayyoo natti garagaleeraatii!”
14 Again they wept aloud, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.
Isaan amma illee sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii booʼan. Kana irratti Orphaan haadha dhirsa ishee dhungattee nagaatti jetteen; Ruut garuu isheetti marmite.
15 “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; follow her back home.”
Naaʼomiinis, “Kunoo, waarsaan kee gara saba isheetii fi waaqota isheetti deebiʼaa jirti. Atis ishee wajjin deebiʼi” jetteen.
16 But Ruth replied: “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn from following you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you live, I will live; your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.
Ruut garuu akkana jettee deebifte; “Akka ani si dhiisu yookaan si biraa deebiʼu na hin dirqisiisin. Iddoo ati deemtu nan deema; iddoo ati jiraattus nan jiraadha. Sabni kee saba koo ni taʼa; Waaqni kees Waaqa koo ni taʼa.
17 Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD punish me, and ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.”
Iddoo ati itti duututti anis nan duʼa; achittis nan awwaalama. Siʼachi yoo duuti gargari nu baase malee yoo ani si dhiisee deeme Waaqayyo na haa adabu; adabbiin sunis akka malee haa cimu.”
18 When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped trying to persuade her.
Naaʼomiinis yeroo akka Ruut ishee wajjin deemuuf murteessite hubattetti ishee dirqisiisuu dhiifte.
19 So Naomi and Ruth traveled until they came to Bethlehem. When they entered Bethlehem, the whole city was stirred because of them, and the women of the city exclaimed, “Can this be Naomi?”
Kanaafuu dubartoonni lachuu hamma Beetlihemitti deeman. Yommuu isaan Beetlihem gaʼanittis sababii isaaniitiif guutummaan magaalattii raafamte; dubartoonnis, “Isheen kun Naaʼomiinii?” jedhan.
20 “Do not call me Naomi,” she replied. “Call me Mara, because the Almighty has dealt quite bitterly with me.
Isheenis akkana isaaniin jette; “Naaʼomiin jettanii na hin waaminaa! Sababii Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu jireenya koo hadheesseef Maaraa jedhaatii na waamaa.
21 I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? After all, the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me.”
Ani harka guutuudhaan baʼe; Waaqayyo garuu harka duwwaa na deebise. Isin maaliif Naaʼomiin naan jettu? Waaqayyo na dhiphiseera; Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu rakkina natti fideeraatii.”
22 So Naomi returned from the land of Moab with her daughter-in-law Ruth the Moabitess. And they arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
Kanaafuu Naaʼomiin, niitii ilma ishee Ruut Moʼaabittii wajjin yeroo garbuun haamamuu jalqabutti Moʼaabii gara Beetlihemitti deebite.
