Ruth 1
1 In the days of one of the judges, when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a man from Bethlehem in Judah departed to sojourn in the region of the Moabites with his wife and two children.
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.
2 He called himself Elimelech, and his wife Naomi, and his two sons, the one Mahlon, and the other Chilion, Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. And entering into the region of the Moabites, they stayed there.
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.
3 And Elimelech the husband of Naomi died; and she remained with her sons.
Umřel pak Elimelech, muž Noémi; i pozůstala ona s oběma syny svými.
4 They took wives from among the Moabites, of whom one was called Orpah, and the other Ruth. And they lived there ten years.
Kteříž pojali sobě ženy Moábské; jméno jedné bylo Orfa a jméno druhé Rut. I bydlili tam téměř deset let.
5 And they both died, namely Mahlon and Chilion, and the woman was left alone, bereaved of her two children and her husband.
Umřeli také oni oba dva, Mahalon i Chelion, a zůstala žena ta po dvou synech svých a manželu svém.
6 And she arose so that she might journey to her native land, with both her daughters-in-law, from the region of the Moabites. For she had heard that the Lord had provided for his people and had given them food.
Tedy vstavši ona s nevěstami svými, navracela se z krajiny Moábské; nebo slyšela v krajině Moábské, že Hospodin navštívil lid svůj, dav jemu chléb.
7 And so she departed from the place of her sojourn, with both her daughters-in-law, and having set out upon the way, she was about to return to the land of Judah.
Vyšedši tedy z místa, na němž bydlila, a obě nevěsty její s ní, daly se na cestu, aby se navrátily do země Judské.
8 She said to them, “Go to the home of your mother. May the Lord deal mercifully with you, just as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
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.
9 May he grant you to find rest in the houses of the husbands, whom you will obtain by lot.” And she kissed them. They lifted up their voice, and began to weep,
Dejž vám Hospodin, abyste nalezly odpočinutí, jedna každá v domě muže svého. I políbila jich, ony pak pozdvihše hlasu svého, plakaly.
10 and to say, “We will journey with you to your people.”
A řekly jí: Obrátíme se raději s tebou k lidu tvému.
11 But she answered them, “Return, my daughters. Why come with me? Do I have any more sons in my womb, so that you could hope for husbands from me?
I řekla Noémi: Navraťte se, dcerky mé. Proč chcete jíti se mnou? Zdaliž ještě budu míti syny, aby byli vaši muži?
12 Return, my daughters, go forth. For I am now exhausted by old age, and not fit for the bond of marriage. Even if I were to conceive on this night, and bear sons,
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,
13 if you were willing to wait until they were grown and had completed the years of adolescence, you would be elderly before you could marry. Do not do so, I beg you, my daughters. For your difficulties weigh upon me greatly, and the hand of the Lord has been set against me.”
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.
14 In response, they lifted up their voice and began to weep again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, and then turned back. Ruth clung to her mother-in-law.
Ony pak pozdvihše hlasu, opět plakaly. A Orfa políbivši svegruši svou, odešla, Rut pak přídržela se jí.
15 Naomi said to her, “See, your kinswoman returns to her people, and to her gods. Hurry after her.”
Kteréžto řekla Noémi: Aj, přítelkyně tvá navrátila se k lidu svému a k bohům svým, navratiž se také za ní.
16 She answered, “Do not be against me, as if I would abandon you and go away; for wherever you will go, I will go, and where you will stay, I also will stay with you. Your people are my people, and your God is my God.
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.
17 Whichever land will receive you dying, in the same I will die, and there I will have the place of my burial. May God cause these things to happen to me, and add more also, if anything except death alone should separate you and I.”
Kdekoli umřeš, umru, a tu pochována budu. Toto mi učiň Hospodin, a toto přidej, že toliko smrt rozdělí mne s tebou.
18 Therefore, Naomi saw that Ruth, being firmly resolved in her soul, was determined to go with her, and that she was unwilling to be dissuaded, and that nothing further could convince her to return to her own.
Tedy viduci, že se na tom ustavila, aby šla s ní, přestala k ní mluviti.
19 And so they set out together, and they came to Bethlehem. When they had entered the city, the news quickly spread among them all. And the women said, “This is that Naomi.”
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?
20 But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi (that is, beautiful), but call me Mara (that is, bitter). For the Almighty has greatly filled me with bitterness.
Jimž ona řekla: Nenazývejte mne Noémi, říkejte mi Mara; nebo hořkostí velikou naplnil mne Všemohoucí.
21 I went out full and the Lord led me back empty. So then, why call me Naomi, whom the Lord has humbled and the Almighty has afflicted?”
Vyšla jsem plná, teď pak prázdnou mne zase Hospodin přivedl. Pročež tedy nazýváte mne Noémi, poněvadž mne Hospodin ssoužil, a Všemohoucí mne znuzil?
22 Therefore, Naomi went with Ruth, the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, from the land of her sojourn, and returned to Bethlehem, at the time of the first reaping of the barley.
A navrátila se Noémi s Rut Moábskou, nevěstou svou; navrátila se pak z krajiny Moábské. I přišly do Betléma, když počínali žíti ječmene.
