Ruth 1
1 And it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man went from Bethlehem-Judah, 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 them Moabitish wives; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth: and they abode 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 also, 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 And she arose, she and her daughters-in-law, and returned from the fields of Moab; for she had heard in the fields of Moab how that Jehovah had visited his people to give 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 Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she had been, 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 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 in the house of her husband. And she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice 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, We will certainly return with thee to thy people.
kagiwacho niya, “Wabiro dok kodi thuru ir jou.”
11 And Naomi said, Return, my daughters: why will ye go with me? Are there yet sons in my womb, that they could be your husbands?
To Naomi nowacho niya, “Nyiga, doguru thucheu. Angʼo momiyo udwaro dhi koda? Bende pod anyalo nywolo yawuowi ma dikendu?
12 Return, my daughters, go; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, should I even have a husband to-night, and should I 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 wait on that account till they were grown? Would ye stay on that account from having husbands? No, my daughters, for I am in much more bitterness than you; for the hand of Jehovah is gone out 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 voice and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave 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 is gone back to her people and to her gods: return 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, Do not intreat me to leave thee, to return from [following] after thee; for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest 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 diest will I die, and there will I be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part me and thee!
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 stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
Kane Naomi oneno kaka Ruth noketo chunye mar dhi kode, noweyo chune.
19 And they 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 brought me low, 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 fields of Moab; and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of the 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.
