Ruth 1
1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth–lehem–judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
Ní ìgbà tí àwọn onídàájọ́ ń ṣe àkóso ilẹ̀ Israẹli, ìyàn kan mú ní ilẹ̀ náà, ọkùnrin kan láti Bẹtilẹhẹmu ti Juda, òun àti aya rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin méjì lọ láti máa gbé ní ilẹ̀ Moabu fún ìgbà díẹ̀.
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 Beth–lehem–judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
Orúkọ ọkùnrin náà ń jẹ́ Elimeleki, orúkọ ìyàwó rẹ̀ ni Naomi, orúkọ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ méjèèjì sì ni Maloni àti Kilioni àwọn ará Efrata, ti Bẹtilẹhẹmu ti Juda. Wọ́n sì lọ sí ilẹ̀ Moabu, wọ́n ń gbé níbẹ̀.
3 And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Ní àsìkò tí wọ́n ń gbé ibẹ̀, Elimeleki, ọkọ Naomi kú, ó sì ku òun pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin méjèèjì.
4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
Wọ́n sì fẹ́ àwọn ọmọbìnrin ará Moabu méjì, orúkọ ọ̀kan ń jẹ́ Oripa, èkejì sì ń jẹ́ Rutu. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n sì ti gbé níbẹ̀ fún bí ọdún mẹ́wàá,
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
Maloni àti Kilioni náà sì kú, Naomi sì wà láìsí ọkọ tàbí ọmọ kankan fún un mọ́.
6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Yhwh had visited his people in giving them bread.
Nígbà tí Naomi gbọ́ ní Moabu tí ó wà wí pé Olúwa ti bẹ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ wò nípa fífún wọn ní ọ̀pọ̀ oúnjẹ. Ó sì dìde pẹ̀lú àwọn ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ̀ méjèèjì láti padà sí ìlú rẹ̀.
7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.
Òun pẹ̀lú àwọn ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ̀ méjèèjì ni wọ́n jọ fi ibi tí ó ń gbé sílẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìrìnàjò wọn padà sí ilẹ̀ Juda.
8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: Yhwh deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ojú ọ̀nà, Naomi wí fún àwọn aya ọmọ rẹ̀ méjèèjì pé, “Kí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín padà sí ilé ìyá rẹ̀. Kí Olúwa ṣe àánú fún yín bí ẹ ti ṣe sí èmi àti àwọn ọkọ yín tí ó kú.
9 Yhwh grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
Kí Olúwa kí ó fi yín lọ́kàn balẹ̀ ní ilé ọkọ mìíràn.” Naomi sì fi ẹnu kò wọ́n ní ẹnu wí pé “Ó dìgbà,” wọ́n sì sọkún kíkankíkan.
10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.
Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Rárá, a ó bà ọ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.”
11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Ṣùgbọ́n Naomi dáhùn wí pé, “Ẹ padà sílé ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi. Nítorí kí ni ẹ fi fẹ́ wá pẹ̀lú mi? Ṣé mo tún le bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin mìíràn ni, tí ó le ṣe ọkọ yin?
12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
Ẹ padà sílé, ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, nítorí èmi ti di arúgbó jù láti ní ọkọ mìíràn. Bí èmí wí pé, èmí ní ìrètí, bí èmí tilẹ̀ ní ọkọ mìíràn ní alẹ́ yìí, tí èmí sì bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin mìíràn,
13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of Yhwh is gone out against me.
ẹ̀yin ha le è dúró dìgbà tí wọ́n yóò fi dàgbà? Ẹ̀yin ó le è dúró dè wọ́n láì fẹ́ ọkọ mìíràn? Rárá, ẹ̀yin ọmọbìnrin mi, nítorí pé inú mi bàjẹ́ gidigidi ju tiyín lọ, nítorí tí ọwọ́ Olúwa fi jáde sí mi!”
14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
Wọ́n sì gbé ohùn wọn sókè, wọ́n sì tún sọkún. Nígbà náà ní Oripa fi ẹnu ko ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀ ní ẹnu wí pé ó dìgbà, ṣùgbọ́n Rutu dì mọ́ ọn síbẹ̀.
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.
Naomi wí pé, “Wò ó, arábìnrin rẹ ti padà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ àti òrìṣà rẹ̀, ìwọ náà padà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.”
16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or 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:
Ṣùgbọ́n Rutu dáhùn wí pé, “Má ṣe rọ̀ mí láti fi ọ́ sílẹ̀ tàbí láti padà lẹ́yìn rẹ. Ibi tí ìwọ bá lọ ní èmi yóò lọ, ibi ti ìwọ bá dúró ni èmi yóò dúró, àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ni yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, Ọlọ́run rẹ ni yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run mi.
17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: Yhwh do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
Níbi tí ìwọ bá kú sí ni èmi yóò kú sí, níbẹ̀ ni wọn yóò sì sin mí sí. Kí Olúwa jẹ mí ní ìyà tí ó lágbára, bí ohunkóhun bí kò ṣe ikú bá yà wá.”
18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
Nígbà tí Naomi rí i wí pé Rutu ti pinnu láti tẹ̀lé òun kò rọ̀ láti padà mọ́.
19 So they two went until they came to Beth–lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth–lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
Àwọn méjèèjì sì ń lọ títí wọ́n fi dé ìlú Bẹtilẹhẹmu. Nígbà tí wọ́n dé ibẹ̀, ariwo ìpadàbọ̀ wọn gba ìlú kan, àwọn obìnrin ibẹ̀ sì kígbe ní ohùn rara wí pé, “Naomi ni èyí bí?”
20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
Naomi sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ẹ má ṣe pè mí ní Naomi mọ́, ẹ pè mí ní Mara, nítorí wí pé Olódùmarè ti mú kí ayé mi di kíkorò.
21 I went out full, And Yhwh hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing Yhwh hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
Mo jáde ní kíkún, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa mú mi padà ní òfo. Nítorí náà kín ló dé tí ẹ fi ń pè mí ní Naomi, nígbà tí Olódùmarè ti kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, tí ó sì mú ìdààmú bá mi?”
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth–lehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
Báyìí ni Naomi ṣe padà láti Moabu pẹ̀lú Rutu, ará Moabu ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ̀. Wọ́n gúnlẹ̀ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ìkórè ọkà barle.
