Ruth 1
1 In the time that the Iudges ruled, there was a dearth in the lande, and a man of Beth-lehem Iudah went for to soiourne in the countrey of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sonnes.
Nʼoge ndị ahụ, mgbe ndị ikpe na-achị, oke ụnwụ dara nʼala Izrel. Nʼihi ụnwụ a, otu nwoke, onye Betlehem, obodo dị na Juda, kwakọọrọ ihe ya niile, duru nwunye ya, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom abụọ, hapụ obodo ya gaa biri dịka ọbịa nʼala Moab.
2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi: and the names of his two sonnes, Mahlon, and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem Iudah: and when they came into the land of Moab, they continued there.
Aha nwoke a bụ Elimelek. Aha nwunye ya bụ Naomi, ma aha ụmụ ya ndị ikom abụọ bụ Mahlọn na Kilịọn. Ha bụ ndị Efrat si Betlehem nke dị na Juda. Ha bịarutere nʼala Moab biri nʼebe ahụ.
3 Then Elimelech the husband of Naomi died, and she remayned with her two sonnes,
Ma Elimelek di Naomi nwụrụ, hapụ naanị Naomi, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom abụọ.
4 Which tooke them wiues of the Moabites: the ones name was Orpah, and the name of ye other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten yeeres.
Ha lụrụ ndị nwunye site nʼetiti ndị inyom Moab. Aha nke mbụ bụ Ọpa, ebe aha nke abụọ bụ Rut. Ha biri nʼebe ahụ ihe dị ka afọ iri.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion dyed also both twaine: so the woman was left destitute of her two sonnes, and of her husband.
Mahlọn na Kilịọn mechara nwụọ. Ya mere, Naomi ghọrọ onye gba aka di, na onye gba aka ụmụ.
6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, and returned from the countrey of Moab: for she had heard say in the countrey of Moab, that the Lord had visited his people, and giuen them bread.
Mgbe Naomi nọ nʼala Moab nụ na Onyenwe anyị eletala ndị Izrel site nʼinye ha ihe oriri, Naomi na ndị nwunye ụmụ ya abụọ kwadoro ịlaghachi azụ nʼala Izrel.
7 Wherefore shee departed out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her, and they went on their way to returne vnto the land of Iudah.
Ya mere, Naomi na ndị nwunye ụmụ ya abụọ hapụrụ ala Moab ebe ha bi kemgbe, malite ịgbaso ụzọ ha ga-esi laghachi nʼala Juda.
8 Then Naomi saide vnto her two daughters in lawe, Goe, returne eche of you vnto her owne mothers house: the Lord shew fauour vnto you, as ye haue done with the dead, and with me.
Mgbe ahụ, Naomi gwara ndị nwunye ụmụ ya abụọ okwu sị ha, “Ngwa, onye ọbụla nʼime unu laghachi nʼụlọ nne ya. Ka Onyenwe anyị gosi unu obiọma dịka unu si gosi mụ onwe m, na ndị unu nwụrụ anwụ.
9 The Lord graunt you, that you may finde rest, either of you in the house of her husband. And when she kissed them, they lift vp their voice and wept.
Ka Onyenwe anyị nyekwa unu di ọzọ ma meekwa ka unu chọta udo nʼezinaụlọ ọzọ.” Mgbe ahụ Naomi suturu ha ọnụ, ha niile kwara akwa.
10 And they saide vnto her, Surely we will returne with thee vnto thy people.
Ma Ọpa na Rut zara Naomi sị ya, “E, anyị agaghị ala. Anyị ga-esoro gị laghachikwuru ndị gị.”
11 But Naomi saide, Turne againe, my daughters: for what cause will you go with me? are there any more sonnes in my wombe, that they may bee your husbands?
Naomi zara sị ha, “Laghachinụ ụmụ m, ọ bụ nʼihi gịnị ka unu ga-eji soro m laa? E nwere m ike ịmụta ụmụ ndị ikom ọzọ ndị ga-abụ di unu?
12 Turne againe, my daughters: go your way: for I am too olde to haue an husband. If I should say, I haue hope, and if I had an husband this night: yea, if I had borne sonnes,
Laghachinụ azụ ụmụ m. Emeela m agadi ịlụ di ọzọ. A sịkwarị na olileanya fọdụụrụ m ịlụ di na ịmụta ụmụ ndị ikom nʼabalị taa,
13 Would yee tarie for them, till they were of age? would ye be deferred for them from taking of husbands? nay my daughters: for it grieueth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
unu ga-echere ruo mgbe ha tolitere? Unu ga-anọ na-alụghị di ọzọ? Mba, ụmụ m ndị inyom, ọnọdụ m dị ilu karịa nke unu, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị esepụtala aka ya imegide m.”
14 Then they lift vp their voyce and wept againe, and Orpah kissed her mother in lawe, but Ruth abode still with her.
Ha welitere olu ha kwaa akwa ọzọ. Mgbe ahụ Ọpa suturu nne di ya ọnụ ma Rut kwusịrị ike nʼebe ọ nọ.
15 And Naomi said, Beholde, thy sister in law is gone backe vnto her people and vnto her gods: returne thou after thy sister in lawe.
Ma Naomi gwara ya sị, “Lee, nwunye nwanne di gị alaghachikwurula ndị nwe ya na chi ya niile, soro ya laa.”
16 And Ruth answered, Intreate mee not to leaue thee, nor to depart from thee: for whither thou goest, I will goe: and where thou dwellest, I will dwell: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
Ma Rut zara, “Akwagidela m ka m hapụ gị, maọbụ ime ka m site nʼiso gị chigharịa. Aga m esoro gị gaa ebe ọbụla ị na-aga. Aga m esokwa gị biri nʼebe ọbụla ị ga-ebi; ndị gị ga-abụ ndị m, Chineke gị ga-abụkwa Chineke m,
17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried. the Lord do so to me and more also, if ought but death depart thee and me.
ebe ị nwụrụ ka m ga-anwụ, ebe ahụ kwa ka a ga-eli m. Ka Onyenwe anyị mesoo m mmeso, otu ọbụla mmeso ahụ si dị njọ, ma ọ bụrụ na m ekwere ka ihe ọzọ, ma ọ bụghị ọnwụ, kewaa mụ na gị.”
18 Whe she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left speaking vnto her.
Mgbe Naomi hụrụ na Rut ekpebiela nʼime onwe ya iso ya, ọ kwụsịrị ịgwa ya okwu ọzọ.
19 So they went both vntill they came to Beth-lehem: and when they were come to Beth-lehem, it was noysed of them through all the citie, and they said, Is not this Naomi?
Ya mere, ha abụọ gagidere ije rute Betlehem. Mgbe ha batara Betlehem, obodo ahụ mere mkpọtụ, nʼihi nlọta ha. Ndị inyom jụrụ sị, “Ọ bụ Naomi bụ nke a nʼezie?”
20 And she answered them, Call me not Naomi, but call me Mara: for the Almightie hath giuen me much bitternes.
Ma Naomi zara ha sị, “Unu akpọkwala m Naomi, kama kpọọnụ m Mara, nʼihi na Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile emeela ka ndụ m jupụta nʼihe ilu.
21 I went out full, and the Lord hath caused me to returne emptie: why call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath humbled me, and the Almightie hath brought me vnto aduersitie?
Aka m juru eju mgbe m si nʼebe a pụọ, ma Onyenwe anyị emeela ka m gbara aka lọta. Gịnị mere unu ji akpọ m Naomi ebe ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị gbakụtara m azụ, ebe ọ bụ na Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile mere ka nsogbu dakwasị m.”
22 So Naomi returned and Ruth the Moabitesse her daughter in law with her, when she came out of the countrey of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barly haruest.
Otu a ka Naomi na Rut onye Moab bụ nwunye nwa ya si laghachi nʼala Juda. Oge ha ji lọbata nʼobodo Betlehem bụ oge a na-amalite ịghọ ọka balị.
