Ruth 1
1 And it comes to pass, in [the] days [when] the ones judging judge, that there is a famine in the land, and there goes a man from Beth-Lehem-Judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
Laitloek rhoek lai a tloek tue vaengah khohmuen ah khokha pai. Te dongah Judah Bethlehem lamkah hlang pakhat tah Moab kho ah bakuep ham a yuu neh a ca rhoi te a caeh puei.
2 And the name of the man [is] Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephraimites from Beth-Lehem-Judah; and they come into the fields of Moab, and are there.
Te hlang kah a ming tah Elimelekh tih a yuu ming tah Naomi, a ca rhoi ming tah Mahlon neh Kilion a ming nah. Amih rhoek tah Judah Bethlehem kah Ephraim lamloh Moab khohmuen la cet tih om uh.
3 And Elimelech husband of Naomi dies, and she is left, she and her two sons;
Te vaengah Noami tah a va Elimelekh te duek tih anih neh a ca rhoi la cul.
4 and they take to them wives, Moabitesses: the name of the first [is] Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth; and they dwell there about ten years.
A ca rhoi loh Moab nu a ming ah Orpah neh Ruth te a loh rhoi tih kum rha tluk om uh.
5 And they die also, both of them—Mahlon and Chilion—and the woman is left of her two children and of her husband.
Tedae Mahlon neh Kilion khaw bok a duek bal dongah a va, a ca om kolla huta amah buengla cul.
6 And she rises, she and her daughters-in-law, and turns back from the fields of Moab, for she has heard in the fields of Moab that God has looked after His people—to give to them bread.
Tedae BOEIPA loh a pilnam te buh paek ham a hip coeng tila Moab kho ah a yaak. Te dongah hlah uh tih a langa rhoi neh Moab kho lamloh bal.
7 And she goes out from the place where she has been, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they go in the way to return to the land of Judah.
Te dongah a om nah hmuen lamloh nong tih a langa rhoi neh amah neh Judah kho long la bal ham cet uh.
8 And Naomi says to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return, each to the house of her mother; YHWH does with you kindness as you have done with the dead, and with me;
Tedae a langa rhoi taengah Naomi loh, “Cet rhoi lamtah na manu im la mael rhoi laeh. Aka duek rhoek neh kai taengah na saii vanbangla sitlohnah te nangmih rhoi taengah BOEIPA loh han saii khaw han saii khaming.
9 YHWH grants to you, and you find rest each in the house of her husband”; and she kisses them, and they lift up their voice and weep.
BOEIPA loh nangmih rhoi te m'pae saeh lamtah na va im kah duemnah khaw hmu rhoi van,” a ti nah tih amih rhoi te a mok hatah a ol a huel uh tih rhap uh.
10 And they say to her, “Surely with you we go back to your people.”
Te phoeiah anih te, “Namah neh na pilnam taengla bal uh sih,” a ti na rhoi.
11 And Naomi says, “Turn back, my daughters; why do you go with me? Are there yet to me sons in my bowels that they have been to you for husbands?
Tedae Naomi loh, “Ka canu rhoi aw mael rhoi laeh. Kai taengla balae nan loh rhoi eh? Nangmih rhoi kah na va la aka poeh ham khaw ka ko khuiah camoe ka khueh pueng tih nim?
12 Turn back, my daughters, go, for I am too aged to be to a husband; though I had said, There is for me hope, also, I have been tonight to a husband, and also I have borne sons:
Ka canu rhoi mael rhoi lamtah cet rhoi laeh, ka patong coeng he, va khueh ham khaw kai hamla ngaiuepnah om ka ti koinih hlaempang pakhat ah ka va taengla ka om vetih ca kan sak sue,
13 do you wait for them until they grow up? Do you shut yourselves up for them, not to be to a husband? No, my daughters, for more bitter to me than to you, for the hand of YHWH has gone out against me.”
Te te a rhoeng duela na lamso rhoi aya? Hlang la aka poeh pawt te na oei rhoi aya? Ka ca rhoi aw te moenih ta. BOEIPA kut loh kai n'nan coeng dongah kai tah nangmih rhoi lakah ka phaep uh phat coeng,” a ti nah.
14 And they lift up their voice, and weep again, and Orpah kisses her mother-in-law, and Ruth has cleaved to her.
A ol a huel tih koep a rhah uh phoeiah tah Orpah loh a mani te a mok. Tedae Ruth long tah khak a lingven.
15 And she says, “Behold, your sister-in-law has turned back to her people, and to her god, turn back after your sister-in-law.”
Te vaengah, “Na maya tah a pilnam taeng neh a pathen taengla bal ke! na maya neh bal laeh,” a ti nah.
16 And Ruth says, “Do not urge me to leave you—to turn back from after you; for to where you go I go, and where you lodge I lodge; your people [is] my people, and your God my God.
Tedae Ruth loh, “Nang hnoo ham neh nang hnuk lamkah bal ham tah kai he nan doo pawt mako, na pongpa nah ah ka pongpa vetih na rhaehba nah ah ka rhaehba ni, na pilnam khaw ka pilnam van, na Pathen khaw ka Pathen ni.
17 Where you die I die, and there I am buried; thus does YHWH to me, and thus He adds—for death itself parts between me and you.”
Na duek nah ah ka duek saeh lamtah pahoi ng'up uh van saeh. BOEIPA loh kai taengah han saii saeh lamtah hang khoep nawn saeh. Kai laklo neh nang laklo ah duek long mah n'tuiphih nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
18 And she sees that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceases to speak to her;
A taengah caeh ham a ning mangkhak te a hmuh vaengah voek ham khaw a toeng.
19 and the two of them go until their coming to Beth-Lehem; and it comes to pass at their coming to Beth-Lehem, that all the city is moved at them, and they say, “Is this Naomi?”
Te dongah amih rhoi te Bethlehem a pha duela cet rhoi. Bethlehem a pha rhoi van neh amih rhoi kongah khopuei boeih te pangngawl tih, “Noami a te?,” a ti uh.
20 And she says to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly to me,
Tedae amih taengah tah, “Kai he Naomi la ng'khue uh boeh, Tlungthang loh kai mat m'phaep coeng dongah kai he Mara la ng'khue uh mai.
21 I went out full, and YHWH has brought me back empty, why do you call me Naomi, and YHWH has testified against me, and the Almighty has done evil to me?”
Kai he khangrhueng la ka cet van dae BOEIPA loh kuttling la kai m'bal sak. Balae tih kai te Naomi la nang khue uh. BOEIPA loh kai n'doo tih Tlungthang loh kai soah thae a huet coeng,” a ti nah.
22 And Naomi turns back, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who has turned back from the fields of Moab, and they have come to Beth-Lehem at the commencement of barley-harvest.
Naomi a bal vaengah Moab kho lamkah anih neh aka mael hmaih a langa Moab Ruth neh cangtun cangah cuek vaengah Bethlehem a pha rhoi.
