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.
Lawkcengkung ni a uknae tueng nah Isarel ram takang a tho teh, Judah ram Bethlehem tami buet touh teh a yucanaw hoi Moab kho kampuen hanlah a cei awh.
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.
Ahnie min teh Elimelek. A yu min teh Naomi, a ca roi e a min teh Mahlon hoi Khilion. Ahnimouh teh Judah ram, Bethlehem kho, Ephraim tami lah ao. Moab ram lah a cei teh hawvah ao awh.
3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Naomi teh a vâ, Elimelek a due hnukkhu a capa roi hoi cungtalah kho a sak awh.
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.
A ca roi ni Moab napui, Orpah hoi Ruth hah a yu lah a la roi.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also, both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.
Hote ram dawk kum hra touh hane ao awh hnukkhu, hote a capa roi Mahlon hoi Khilion hai a due roi dawkvah Naomi teh a vâ hoi a ca laipalah ao.
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.
Cathut ni a taminaw a khet teh khobu a tho sak tie Moab ram hoi a thai navah, Moab ram hoi ban hanlah a langa roi hoi a kamthaw awh teh,
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.
Judah ram lah a cei awh.
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.
Hatei, Naomi ni a langa roi hanlah na manu im lah ban roi leih, kadout tangcoung naw hoi kai koe na saknae phu teh Cathut ni yawhawi na poe roi lawiseh.
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.
Nangmouh roi ni na vâ alouke na sak roi hnukkhu kanawmcalah na o roi nahan yawhawinae na poe lawiseh ati teh, a kut a man roi. Ahnimouh roi hai a khuika roi.
10 And they said to her, We will certainly return with thee to thy people.
Bangtelah hai thoseh nama hoi cungtalah, na miphunnaw koe kâbang han atipouh roi.
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?
Naomi nihai, ka canu roi, ban roi leih. Bangkongmaw kai koe na kâbang roi han. kai teh nangmouh roi hanlah ka vonthung ca tongpa ka tawn rah maw.
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,
Ka canu roi, ban roi leih. kai teh nangmouh roi na ngaihawi nahanelah ka kumcue toung dawkvah vâ hai ka tawn thai mahoeh toe. Hatei, vâ ka tawn nakunghai thoseh, sahnin tangmin vah ca tongpanaw ka khe ei nakunghai thoseh,
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.
Ahnimouh a nawsai ditouh na ring thai han na maw. Vâ laipalah ahnimanaw ngaihawi rah vaw, ka canu roi hottelah nahoeh. Cathut e kut teh kai koe ao hoeh toung dawkvah nangmouh roi hanlah lungpatawnae ka tawn atipouh navah
14 And they lifted up their voice and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave to her.
Ahnimanaw teh puenghoi bout a ka awh. Hahoi, Orpah ni a mani hah a paco teh a imthungnaw koe a ban takhai. Hatei, Ruth teh a mani hoi cungtalah o hane a kârawi.
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 ni na hmau teh na miphun cathut koe a ban toe. Na hmau e hnuk vah kâbang van leih atipouh navah,
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 ni nang hoi na kampek sak hanh. Nang koe ka cei hoeh nahanlah sak hanh. Na ceinae pueng koe ka cei han. Na inae koe ka i han. Na miphun teh ka miphun lah ao han. Na Cathut teh ka Cathut lah ao han.
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!
Na duenae koe ka due vaiteh kâpakawp han. Duenae laipalah bang ni hai kapek pawiteh Cathut ni kai koe het hlak hai hno sak naseh, telah atipouh.
18 And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
Ruth ni lungtang lahoi a hnukkâbang han ati e Naomi ni a hmu navah lawkkamuem lah a o
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?
Ahnimouh roi teh a kamthaw roi teh Bethlehem a pha roi navah, taminaw ni ruengrueng ati awh teh, hetheh, Naomi namaw telah a pacei awh.
20 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi — call me Mara; for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
Naomi ni kai heh Naomi telah na kaw awh hanh lawih. Marah telah na kaw awh lawih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a Thakasaipounge ni kakhat e hno na poe.
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?
Kai teh bawirengnae hoi ka tâco. Hatei, roedeng teh takcaici hoi Cathut ni bout na bankhai. A Thakasaipounge ni kai na pabo teh na roedeng sak dawkvah bangkongmaw Naomi telah na kaw awh, atipouh.
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.
Hottelah, Moab kho hoi ka kâbang e Moab napui, a langa hoi Bethlehem kho vah canga tue nah a pha roi.
