< 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.
A IA i ka wa i noho ai na lunakanawai i alii wi iho la ka aina, a hele aku la kekahi kanaka no Betelehemaiuda, e noho ma ka aina i Moaba, oia a me kana wahine, a me kana mau keikikane elua.
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.
O Elimeleka ka inoa o ua kanaka la, a o Naomi ka inoa o kana wahine, o Mahelona ma laua o Kiliona, na inoa o kana mau keikikane; no Eperata lakou, no Betelehemaiuda, A hele aku lakou i ka aina i Moaba, a noho iho la malaila.
3 And Elimelech husband of Naomi dies, and she is left, she and her two sons;
Make iho la o Elimeleka, ke kane a Naomi; a koe ka wahine, a me kana mau keikikane elua.
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 lawe laua i wahine na laua, no na kaikamahine o Moaba. O Orepa ka inoa o kekahi, a o Ruta ka inoa o ka lua. Noho no lakou ilaila, he umi paha makahiki.
5 And they die also, both of them—Mahlon and Chilion—and the woman is left of her two children and of her husband.
A make iho la o Mahelona ma laua o Kiliona; a haaleleia ua wahine la e kana mau keiki elua, a me kana kane.
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.
Alaila ku mai la oia a me kana mau hunonawahine, a hoi mai la, mai ka aina o Moaba mai; no ka mea, ua lohe oia ma ka aina o Moaba, i ko Iehova ike ana mai i kona poe kanaka, me ka haawi ana mai ia lakou i ka berena.
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.
Hele aku la oia iwaho o kahi ana i noho ai, me kana mau hunonawahine elua; a hele mai la lakou ma ke ala, e hoi ai i ka aina i Iuda.
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;
Olelo aku la Naomi i kana mau hunonawahine elua, O haele, a hoi kela mea keia mea o olua i ka hale o kona makuwahine; a na Iehova no e lokomaikai mai ia olua, e like me ka olua i hana mai ai i na mea i make, a ia'u no hoi.
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.
Na Iehova no e haawi mai ia olua i ka hoomaha, o kela mea keia mea o olua ma ka hale o kana kane iho. Alaila, honi aku la oia ia laua, a hookiekie lakou i ko lakou leo, a uwe ae la.
10 And they say to her, “Surely with you we go back to your people.”
I mai la laua ia ia, He oiaio no, hele pu maua me oe, i kou hoi ana i kou poe kanaka.
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?
Olelo hou mai la o Naomi, E na kaikamahine a'u, o hoi. No ke aha la olua e hele pu ai me au? He mau keiki hou anei iloko o ko'u opu, i mau kane na olua?
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:
E hoi olua, e na kaikamahine a'u, o hele, no ka mea, ua luwahine au, aole e loaa ke kane hou. A ina paha e olelo au, ua laua ko'u manao, a, ina he kane ka'u i keia po, a hanau na keikikane;
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.”
E kakali anei olua ia laua, a nui laua? No laua anei olua e noho kane ole ai? Uoki, e na kaikamahine a'u; no ka mea, ua nui loa ko'u ehaeha no olua, i ke kau ana o ko Iehova lima maluna o'u.
14 And they lift up their voice, and weep again, and Orpah kisses her mother-in-law, and Ruth has cleaved to her.
Hookiekie hou aku la lakou i ko lakou leo, a uwe aku la. Honi mai la o Orepa i kona makuahonowaiwahine; aka, pili mai la o Ruta ia ia.
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.”
I aku la keia, Aia hoi, na hoi aku kou hoahanau, i kona poe kanaka, a i kona poe akua. E hoi aku oe mamuli o kou punalua.
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.
Olelo mai la o Ruta ia ia, Mai nonoi mai oe ia'u, e haalele ia oe, a e hoi aku, mai ka hahai ana ia oe; no ka mea, ma kou wahi e hele ai, malaila au e hele ai, ma kou wahi e moe ai, malaila au e moe ai: o kou poe kanaka, no'u ia poe kanaka, o kou Akua, no'u ia Akua:
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.”
Ma kou wahi e make ai, malaila au e make ai, malaila hoi au e kanuia'i: o ka make oia wale no ko kaua mea e kaawale ai; ina aole, me ia hoi e hana mai ai o Iehova ia'u.
18 And she sees that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceases to speak to her;
A ike mai ia, ua ikaika loa ko Ruta manao e hele pu me ia, alaila, oki iho hi kana olelo ana ia ia.
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?”
Hele pu no laua, a hiki aku la i Betelehema. A komo aku la laua iloko o Betelehema, pioloke iho la ke kulanakauhale a pau no laua; i ae la lakou, O Naomi anei keia?
20 And she says to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly to me,
I aku lu oia ia lakou, Mai kapa mai oukou ia'u o Naomi, e kapa mai oukou ia'u o Mara; no ka mea, ua hookaumaha loa mai ka Mea mana ia'u.
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?”
Ua hele lako aku au iwaho, hoihoi nele mai o Iehova ia'u. No ke aha la oukou e kapa mai ai ia'u o Naomi? No ka mea, ua hoohaahaa mai o Iehova ia'u, a ua hookaumaha mai o ka Mea mana ia'u.
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.
Pela i hoi mai ai o Naomi, a me kana hunonawahine pu me ia, o Ruta, no Moaba, a hele mai no ka aina o Moaba mai; a hiki mai laua i Betelehema i ka manawa o ka hoiliili mua ana i ka hua bale.
