< Ruth 1 >

1 In the days of one of the judges, when the judges ruled, there came a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem Juda, went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons.
A kwanakin da mahukunta suke mulki an yi yunwa a ƙasar, sai wani mutum daga Betlehem a Yahuda tare da matarsa da’ya’yansu maza biyu, suka tafi su yi zama na ɗan lokaci a ƙasar Mowab.
2 He was named Elimelech, and his wife, Noemi: and his two sons, the one Mahalon, and the other Chelion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Juda. And entering into the country of Moab, they abode there.
Sunan mutumin, Elimelek ne, sunan matarsa Na’omi; sunayen’ya’yan nan nasu biyu, su ne Malon da Kiliyon. Su Efratawa ne daga Betlehem ta Yahuda. Suka kuwa tafi Mowab suka zauna a can.
3 And Elimelech the husband of Noemi died: and she remained with her sons.
To, Elimelek mijin Na’omi ya rasu, aka bar ta da’ya’yanta maza biyu.
4 And they took wives of the women of Moab, of which one was called Orpha, and the other Ruth. And they dwelt there ten years.
Suka auri mata Mowabawa, sunan ɗaya Orfa ɗayan kuma Rut. Bayan sun zauna a can kamar shekara goma,
5 And they both died, to wit, Mahalon and Chelion: and the woman was left alone, having lost both her sons and her husband.
sai Malon da Kiliyon suka mutu su ma, aka kuma bar Na’omi babu’ya’yanta maza biyu da kuma mijinta.
6 And she arose to go from the land of Moab to her own country with both her daughters in law: for she had heard that the Lord had looked upon his people, and had given them food.
Sa’ad da ta ji a Mowab cewa Ubangiji ya zo don yă taimaki mutanensa ta wurin tanada musu da abinci, sai Na’omi tare da surukanta suka shirya su koma gida daga can.
7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place of her sojournment, with both her daughters in law: and being now in the way to return into the land of Juda,
Tare da surukanta biyu suka bar inda suka zauna suka kuma kama hanya da za tă komar da su zuwa ƙasar Yahuda.
8 She said to them: Go ye home to your mothers: the Lord deal mercifully with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
Sai Na’omi ta ce wa surukanta biyu, “Ku koma, kowannenku, zuwa gidan mahaifiyarta. Bari Ubangiji yă nuna muku alheri yadda kuka nuna wa matattun nan da kuma gare ni.
9 May he grant you to find rest in the houses of the husbands which you shall take. And she kissed them. And they lifted up their voice and began to weep,
Bari Ubangiji yă sa kowannenku ta sami hutu a gidan wani miji.” Sa’an nan ta sumbace su suka kuma yi kuka da ƙarfi
10 And to say: We will go on with thee to thy people.
suka ce mata, “Za mu tafi tare da ke zuwa ga mutanenki.”
11 But she answered them: Return, my daughters: why come ye with me? have I any more sons in my womb, that you may hope for husbands of me?
Amma Na’omi ta ce, “Ku koma gida,’ya’yana mata. Don me za ku tafi tare da ni? Zan ƙara samun waɗansu’ya’ya maza da za su zama mazanku ne?
12 Return again, my daughters, and go your ways: for I am now spent with age, and not fit for wedlock. Although I might conceive this night, and bear children,
Ku koma gida’ya’yana mata; na tsufa ainun da zan sāke samun wani miji. Ko ma na yi tsammani har yanzu ina da bege, ko ma na sami miji a wannan dare na kuma haifi’ya’ya maza,
13 If you would wait till they were grown up, and come to man’s estate, you would be old women before you marry. Do not so, my daughters, I beseech you: for I am grieved the more for your distress, and the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
za ku jira sai sun yi girma? Za ku ci gaba da kasance babu aure saboda su? A’a,’ya’yana mata. Ina da baƙin ciki ƙwarai fiye da ku, domin hannun Ubangiji ya yi gāba da ni!”
14 And they lifted up their voice, and began to weep again: Orpha kissed her mother in law and returned: Ruth stuck close to her mother in law.
A kan wannan suka sāke ɓarke da kuka. Sa’an nan Orfa ta sumbaci surukarta ta yi bankwana, amma Rut ta manne mata.
15 And Noemi said to her: Behold thy kinswoman is returned to her people, and to her gods, go thou with her.
Sai Na’omi ta ce, “Duba,’yar’uwanki ta koma zuwa ga mutanenta da kuma allolinta. Ki koma tare da ita.”
16 She answered: Be not against me, to desire that I should leave thee and depart: for whithersoever thou shalt go, I will go: and where thou shalt dwell, I also will dwell. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
Rut Amma Rut ta amsa, “Kada ki roƙe ni in bar ki ko in koma daga gare ki. Inda za ki, zan tafi, kuma inda za ki zauna, zan zauna. Mutanenki, za su zama mutanena kuma Allahnki, zai zama Allahna.
17 The land that shall receive thee dying, in the same will I die: and there will I be buried. The Lord do so and so to me, and add more also, if aught but death part me and thee.
Inda za ki mutu zan mutu, zan mutu a can kuma za a binne ni. Bari Ubangiji ya hukunta ni da tsanani sosai, in wani abu in ba mutuwa ce ta raba ke da ni ba.”
18 Then Noemi, seeing that Ruth was steadfastly determined to go with her, would not be against it, nor persuade her any more to return to her friends:
Sa’ad da Na’omi ta gane cewa Rut ta ƙudura tă tafi tare da ita, sai ta daina nema tă koma.
19 So they went together and came to Bethlehem. And when they were come into the city, the report was quickly spread among all: and the women said: This is that Noemi.
Saboda haka matan biyu suka ci gaba da tafiya sai da suka isa Betlehem. Da suka isa Betlehem, sai dukan garin ya ruɗe saboda su, matan kuwa suka ce, “Na’omi ce wannan kuwa?”
20 But she said to them: Call me not Noemi, (that is, beautiful, ) but call me Mara, (that is, bitter, ) for the Almighty hath quite filled me with bitterness.
Ta ce musu, “Kada ku kira ni Na’omi. Ku kira ni Mara gama Maɗaukaki ya sa raina ya yi ɗaci sosai.
21 I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me back empty. Why then do you call me Noemi, whom the Lord hath humbled and the Almighty hath afflicted?
In tafi cikakke, amma Ubangiji ya dawo da ni ba kome. Don me kuke kirana Na’omi? Ubangiji ya wahalshe ni, Maɗaukaki ya kawo mini masifa.”
22 So Noemi came with Ruth the Moabitess her daughter in law, from the land of her sojournment: and returned into Bethlehem, in the beginning of the barley harvest.
Na’omi fa ta koma daga Mowab tare da Rut mutuniyar Mowab, surukarta, suka kai Betlehem a lokacin da ake fara girbin sha’ir.
