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.
Pripetilo se je torej v dneh, ko so vladali sodniki, da je bila v deželi lakota. In nek mož iz Judovega Betlehema je odšel, da začasno prebiva v moábski deželi, on in njegova žena in njegova dva sinova.
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.
Ime moža je bilo Eliméleh, ime njegove žene pa Naomí in ime njegovih dveh sinov Mahlón in Kiljón, Efrátejci iz Judovega Betlehema. Prišli so v moábsko deželo in tam ostali.
3 Then Elimelech the husband of Naomi died, and she remayned with her two sonnes,
Naomín soprog Eliméleh je umrl in bila je zapuščena in njena dva sinova.
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.
In vzela sta si ženi izmed moábskih žensk. Ime ene je bilo Orpa, ime druge pa je bilo Ruta. In tam so prebivali okoli deset let.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion dyed also both twaine: so the woman was left destitute of her two sonnes, and of her husband.
Tudi Mahlón in Kiljón, oba izmed njiju, sta umrla. In ženska je bila zapuščena od svojih dveh sinov in od svojega soproga.
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.
Potem je vstala s svojima snahama, da bi se lahko vrnila iz moábske dežele, kajti v moábski deželi je slišala, kako je Gospod obiskal svoje ljudstvo, ko jim je dajal kruh.
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.
Zato je odšla iz kraja, kjer je bila in njeni dve snahi z njo in odšle so na pot, da se vrnejo v Judovo deželo.
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.
Naomí je svojima dvema snahama rekla: »Pojdita, vrnita se vsaka k hiši svoje matere. Gospod naj prijazno postopa z vama, kakor sta vidve postopali z mrtvima in z menoj.
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.
Gospod naj vama zagotovi, da bosta lahko našli počitek, vsaka izmed vaju, v hiši svojega soproga.« Potem ju je poljubila. Oni pa sta povzdignili svoj glas in zajokali.
10 And they saide vnto her, Surely we will returne with thee vnto thy people.
Rekli sta ji: »Zagotovo se bova s teboj vrnili k tvojemu ljudstvu.«
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?
Naomí je rekla: »Obrnita se, moji hčeri. Čemu hočeta iti z menoj? Mar je v moji maternici vendar še kaj sinov, da bi bili vajini soprogi?
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,
Ponovno se obrnita, moji hčeri, pojdita svojo pot, kajti prestara sem, da bi imela soproga. Če bi rekla, imam upanje, če bi tudi nocoj imela soproga in bi mu tudi rodila sinove,
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.
bi se zadrževali zanju dokler ne bi odrasla? Bi ostali zanju, da ne bi imeli soprogov? Ne, moji hčeri, kajti to me zelo žalosti zaradi vaju, da se je Gospodova roka iztegnila zoper mene.«
14 Then they lift vp their voyce and wept againe, and Orpah kissed her mother in lawe, but Ruth abode still with her.
Povzdignili sta glas in ponovno zajokali. Orpa je poljubila svojo taščo, toda Ruta se je trdno pridružila k njej.
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.
Rekla je: »Glej, tvoja svakinja je odšla nazaj k svojemu ljudstvu in k svojim bogovom. Vrni se za svojo svakinjo.«
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.
Ruta pa je rekla: »Ne zahtevaj, da te zapustim ali da se vrnem od sledenja za teboj, kajti kamor greš ti, bom šla jaz. In kjer ti prenočuješ, bom prenočevala jaz. Tvoje ljudstvo bo moje ljudstvo in tvoj Bog [bo] moj Bog.
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.
Kjer ti umreš, bom umrla jaz in tam bom pokopana. Gospod naj mi tako stori in še več, če bi karkoli razen smrti, ločilo tebe in mene.«
18 Whe she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left speaking vnto her.
Ko je videla, da je bila neomajnega mišljenja, da gre z njo, potem je opustila, da ji prigovarja.
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?
Tako sta obe odšli, dokler nista prišli v Betlehem. Pripetilo se je, ko sta prišli v Betlehem, da je bilo vse mesto vznemirjeno glede njiju in rekli so: » Ali ni to Naomí?«
20 And she answered them, Call me not Naomi, but call me Mara: for the Almightie hath giuen me much bitternes.
Odgovorila jim je: »Ne imenujte me Naomí, imenujte me Mara, kajti Vsemogočni je zelo grenko postopal z menoj.
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?
Odšla sem polna, Gospod pa me je ponovno privedel domov prazno. Zakaj me torej imenujete Naomí, glede na to, da je Gospod pričeval zoper mene in me je Vsemogočni prizadel?«
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.
Tako se je Naomí vrnila in z njo njena snaha Moábka Ruta, ki sta se vrnili iz moábske dežele. V Betlehem sta prišli ob začetku ječmenove žetve.
