Ruth 1
1 And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land: and there went a certain man of Beth-lechem-judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
E ndalo mane jongʼad bura ni e loch, kech ne nitie e piny, kendo ngʼat moro moa Bethlehem e piny Juda, kaachiel gi chiege kod yawuote ariyo, nodhi mondo odag e piny Moab kuom kinde moko.
2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Na'omi, and the name of his two sons Machlon and Kilyon, Ephrathites of Beth-lechem-judah. And they came into the fields of Moab, and remained there.
Nying ngʼatno ne Elimelek, to nying chiege ne Naomi, kendo nying yawuote ariyogo ne gin Malon gi Kilion. Ne gin jo-Efrath moa Bethlehem e piny Juda. Kendo negidhi e piny Moab mi gidak kuno.
3 Thereupon died Elimelech Na'omi's husband; and she was left, with her two sons.
To koro Elimelek ma chwor Naomi notho, mi nodongʼ gi yawuote ariyo.
4 And they took themselves wives of the women of Moab; the name of one was 'Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelt there about ten years.
Negikendo nyi Moab, ma achiel ne nyinge Orpa, to machielo Ruth. Kane gisedak kuno kuom kinde madirom higni apar,
5 And then died also both of these, Machlon and Kilyon, and the woman was left [deprived] of her two children and her husband.
Malon gi Kilion bende notho, kendo Naomi koro nodongʼ kende maonge yawuote ariyo kaachiel gi chwore.
6 Then did she arise with her daughters-in-law, and returned homeward from the fields of Moab; for she had heard in the fields of Moab that the Lord had thought of his people in giving them bread.
Kane owinjo wach gie piny Moab ni Jehova Nyasaye osekecho joge komiyogi chiemo, Naomi kod mond yawuote ne joikore mar dok thurgi ka gia kanyo.
7 Therefore she went forth out of the place where she had been, and her two daughters-in-law [were] with her; and they went on their way to return unto the land of Judah.
Ne giwuok kanyo, en kaachiel gi mond yawuote ariyo, kendo negimako wuoth ka giluwo yo mane dwokogi nyaka e piny Juda.
8 Then said Na'omi unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each one to her mother's house: may the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Eka Naomi nowachone mond yawuote ariyo niya, “Doguru, ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu, nyaka ute mineu. Mad Jehova Nyasaye timnu ngʼwono, mana kaka usetimo ne chwou mosetho kendo ne an bende.
9 May the Lord grant unto you that ye may find rest, each one in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
Mad Jehova Nyasaye tim ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu ngʼwono mondo ubed gi kwe kod mor e kend ma ubiro donjoe.” Eka nogonegi oriti, kendo ne giywak malit,
10 And they said unto her, [No, ] for truly we will return with thee unto thy people.
kagiwacho niya, “Wabiro dok kodi thuru ir jou.”
11 Then said Na'omi, Return back, my daughters; why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may become your husbands?
To Naomi nowacho niya, “Nyiga, doguru thucheu. Angʼo momiyo udwaro dhi koda? Bende pod anyalo nywolo yawuowi ma dikendu?
12 Return back, my daughters, go; for I am too old to become [the wife] of any man; yea, if I were even to think, I have hope; should I even obtain this night a husband, and should also bear sons:
Doguru thucheu, nyiga; aseti ma ok anyal bedo gi dichwo machielo. To kata dine bed ni pod aparo ni an gi geno, kata dine bed ni abedo gi dichwo otienoni mi anywolo yawuowi
13 Would ye wait in hopes for them till they were grown? would ye debar yourselves for them so as not to become the wives of any man? not so, my daughters; for I feel much more bitter pain than you; because the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
bende duritgi nyaka gibed jomadongo? Bende dusiki ma ok okendu kapod uritogi? Ooyo, nyiga. An ema an-gi lit moloyou, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osekuma!”
14 And they lifted up their voice and wept a long time; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth cleaved unto her.
Kane giwinjo ma, ne giywak kendo. Eka Orpa nogone wuon odgi oriti, to Ruth to notwere kode.
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is returned back unto her people, and unto her gods; return thou after thy sister-in-law.
Naomi nowachone Ruth niya, “Ne, nyieki osewuok dok ir jogi kendo ir nyisechegi. In bende dog kode.”
16 But Ruth said, Urge me not to leave thee, to return from following thee; for whither thou goest, will I go; and where thou lodgest, will I lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
Ruth nodwoke niya “We chuna mondo aweyi kata apogra kodi. Kuma idhiyo ema an bende abiro dhiye, kendo kama idakie ema abiro dakie. Jogi ema nobed joga kendo Nyasachi ema nobed Nyasacha.
17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried; may the Lord do so to me, and may he so continue, if aught but death shall part me from thee.
Kama inithoe ema anathoe kendo kuno ema noyikae. Mad Jehova Nyasaye timna marach, kendo otimna marach ahinya, kapo ni gimoro amora opoga kodi ma ok mana tho kende!”
18 When she thus saw that she was persisting to go with her, she left off speaking unto her.
Kane Naomi oneno kaka Ruth noketo chunye mar dhi kode, noweyo chune.
19 So these two went until they came to Beth-lechem. And it came to pass, when they entered Beth-lechem, that all the city was in commotion about them, and people said, Is this Na'omi?
Omiyo Naomi gi chi wuode nomedo dhiyo nyaka negichopo Bethlehem. Kane gichopo Bethlehem, dala duto nobwok kane onene, kendo mon nopenjore kendgi niya, “Ma bende dibed Naomi adier?”
20 And she said unto them, Call me not Na'omi, call me Mara; for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
To Naomi nokonegi niya, “Kik uluonga ni Naomi, to luongauru ni Mara (tiende ni Makech), nikech Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osemiyo ngimana obedo makech miwuoro.
21 I went out full, but empty hath the Lord brought me home again; why then will ye call me Na'omi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath sent me affliction?
Ne adhi ka an-gi gik moko duto, to Jehova Nyasaye oseduoga ka an-gi lweta nono. Uluonga ni Naomi nangʼo? Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osechwada kendo osekuma malit.”
22 So did Na'omi return, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who had returned out of the fields of Moab; and they came to Beth-lechem at the beginning of the barley-harvest.
Kamano e kaka Naomi noduogo koa Moab, ka Ruth nyar Moab, ma chi wuode, ni kode. Negichopo Bethlehem ka kinde mikaye shairi chakore.
