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 aconteceu nos dias que governavam os juízes, que houve fome na terra. E um homem de Belém de Judá, foi a peregrinar nos campos de Moabe, ele e sua mulher, e dois filhos seus.
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.
O nome daquele homem era Elimeleque, e o de sua mulher Noemi; e os nomes de seus dois filhos eram Malom e Quiliom, efrateus de Belém de Judá. Chegaram, pois, aos campos de Moabe, e assentaram ali.
3 Thereupon died Elimelech Na'omi's husband; and she was left, with her two sons.
E morreu Elimeleque, marido de Noemi, e restou ela com seus dois filhos;
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.
Os quais tomaram para si mulheres de Moabe, o nome da uma Orfa, e o nome da outra Rute; e habitaram ali uns dez anos.
5 And then died also both of these, Machlon and Kilyon, and the woman was left [deprived] of her two children and her husband.
E morreram também os dois, Malom e Quiliom, restando assim a mulher desamparada de seus dois filhos e de seu marido.
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.
Então se levantou com suas noras, e voltou-se dos campos de Moabe: porque ouviu no campo de Moabe que o SENHOR havia visitado a seu povo para dar-lhes pão.
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.
Saiu, pois, do lugar de onde havia estado, e com ela suas duas noras, e começaram em caminhar para voltar-se à terra de Judá.
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.
E Noemi disse a suas duas noras: Andai, voltai-vos cada uma à casa de sua mãe: o SENHOR faça convosco misericórdia, como a fizestes com os mortos e comigo.
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.
Dê-vos o SENHOR que acheis descanso, cada uma em casa de seu marido: beijou-as logo, e elas choraram a voz em grito.
10 And they said unto her, [No, ] for truly we will return with thee unto thy people.
E disseram-lhe: Certamente nós voltaremos contigo a teu povo.
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?
E Noemi respondeu: Voltai, filhas minhas; para que ireis comigo? Tenho eu mais filhos no ventre, que possam ser vossos maridos?
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:
Voltai, filhas minhas, e ide; que eu já sou velha para ser para me casar com homem. E ainda que dissesse: Tenho esperança; e esta noite me casasse com um homem, e ainda desse à luz filhos;
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.
Teríeis vós de esperá-los até que fossem grandes? Ficaríeis vós sem se casar por causa deles? Não, filhas minhas; que maior amargura tenho eu que vós, pois a mão do SENHOR saiu contra mim.
14 And they lifted up their voice and wept a long time; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth cleaved unto her.
Mas elas levantando outra vez sua voz, choraram: e Orfa beijou à sua sogra, mas Rute se ficou com ela.
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.
E Noemi disse: Eis que tua cunhada se voltou a seu povo e a seus deuses; volta-te atrás dela.
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.
E Rute respondeu: Não me rogues que te deixe, e que me aparte de ti: porque de onde quer que tu fores, irei eu; e de onde quer que viveres, viverei. Teu povo será meu povo, e teu Deus meu Deus.
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.
Onde tu morreres, morrerei eu, e ali serei sepultada: assim me faça o SENHOR, e assim me dê, que somente a morte fará separação entre mim e ti.
18 When she thus saw that she was persisting to go with her, she left off speaking unto her.
E vendo Noemi que estava tão decidida a ir com ela, deixou de falar-lhe.
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?
Andaram, pois, elas duas até que chegaram a Belém: e aconteceu que entrando em Belém, toda a cidade se comoveu por razão delas, e diziam: Não é esta Noemi?
20 And she said unto them, Call me not Na'omi, call me Mara; for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
E ela lhes respondia: Não me chameis Noemi, mas sim me chamai Mara: porque em grande amargura me pôs o Todo-Poderoso.
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?
Eu me fui cheia, mas vazia me fez voltar o SENHOR. Por que me chamareis Noemi, já que o SENHOR deu testemunho contra mim, e o Todo-Poderoso me afligiu?
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.
Assim voltou Noemi e Rute moabita sua nora com ela; voltou dos campos de Moabe, e chegaram a Belém no princípio da colheita das cevadas.
