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 succedeu que, nos dias em que os juizes julgavam, houve uma fome na terra: pelo que um homem de Beth-lehem de Judah saiu a peregrinar nos campos de Moab, elle e sua mulher, e seus dois filhos:
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.
E era o nome d'este homem Elimelech, e o nome de sua mulher Noemi, e os nomes de seus dois filhos Mahon e Chilion, ephrateos, de Beth-lehem de Judah: e vieram aos campos de Moab, e ficaram ali.
3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
E morreu Elimelech, marido de Noemi: e ficou ella com os seus dois filhos,
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.
Os quaes tomaram para si mulheres moabitas: e era o nome d'uma Orpha, e o nome da outra Ruth; e ficaram ali quasi dez annos.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also, both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.
E morreram tambem ambos, Mahalon e Chilion, ficando assim esta mulher desamparada dos seus dois filhos e de seu marido.
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.
Então se levantou ella com as suas noras, e voltou dos campos de Moab: porquanto na terra de Moab ouviu que o Senhor tinha visitado o seu povo. dando-lhe pão.
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.
Pelo que saiu do logar onde estivera, e as suas duas noras com ella. E, indo ellas caminhando, para voltarem para a terra de Judah,
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.
Disse Noemi ás suas duas noras: Ide, voltae cada uma á casa de sua mãe; e o Senhor use comvosco de benevolencia, como vós usastes com os defuntos e comigo.
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.
O Senhor vos dê que acheis descanço cada uma em casa de seu marido. E, beijando-as ella, levantaram a sua voz e choraram.
10 And they said to her, We will certainly return with thee to thy people.
E disseram-lhe: Certamente voltaremos comtigo ao teu povo.
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?
Porém Noemi disse: Tornae, minhas filhas, porque irieis comigo? tenho eu ainda no meu ventre mais filhos, para que vos fossem por maridos?
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,
Tornae, filhas minhas, ide-vos embora, que já mui velha sou para ter marido: ainda quando eu dissesse, Tenho esperança, ou ainda que esta noite tivesse marido e ainda parisse filhos,
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.
Esperal-os-hieis até que viessem a ser grandes? deter-vos-hieis por elles, sem tomardes marido? não, filhas minhas, que mais amargo me é a mim do que a vós mesmas; porquanto a mão do Senhor se descarregou contra mim.
14 And they lifted up their voice and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave to her.
Então levantaram a sua voz, e tornaram a chorar: e Orpha beijou a sua sogra, porém Ruth se apegou a ella.
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.
Pelo que disse: Eis que voltou tua cunhada ao seu povo e aos seus deuses: volta tu tambem após da tua cunhada.
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;
Disse porém Ruth: Não me instes para que te deixe, e me torne de detraz de ti; porque aonde quer que tu fores irei eu, e onde quer que pousares á noite ali pousarei eu; o teu povo é o meu povo, o teu Deus é o meu Deus
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!
Onde quer que morreres morrerei eu, e ali serei sepultada: me faça assim o Senhor, e outro tanto, se outra coisa que não seja a morte me separar de ti.
18 And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
Vendo ella, pois, que de todo estava resolvida para ir com ella, deixou de lhe fallar.
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?
Assim pois foram-se ambas, até que chegaram a Beth-lehem: e succedeu que, entrando ellas em Beth-lehem, toda a cidade se commoveu por causa d'ellas, e diziam: Não é esta Noemi?
20 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi — call me Mara; for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
Porém ella lhes dizia: Não me chameis Noemi; chamae-me Mara; porque grande amargura me tem dado o Todo-poderoso.
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?
Cheia parti, porém vazia o Senhor me fez tornar: porque pois me chamareis Noemi? pois o Senhor testifica contra mim, e o Todo-poderoso me tem feito tanto mal.
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.
Assim Noemi voltou, e com ella Ruth a moabita, sua nora, que voltou dos campos de Moab: e chegaram a Beth-lehem no principio da sega das cevadas.
