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.
Na mikolo oyo bilombe bazalaki koyangela, nzala makasi ezalaki kati na mokili. Mobali moko ya Beteleemi ya Yuda, elongo na mwasi na ye mpe bana na ye mibale ya mibali, bakendeki kovanda na mboka Moabi.
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.
Kombo ya mobali yango ezalaki « Elimeleki; » kombo ya mwasi na ye ezalaki « Naomi; » mpe bakombo ya bana na ye ya mibali ezalaki « Maaloni » mpe « Kilioni. » Bazalaki bato ya libota ya Efrate mpe bawutaki na Beteleemi ya Yuda. Bakendeki na Moabi mpe bavandaki kuna.
3 And Elimelech husband of Naomi dies, and she is left, she and her two sons;
Elimeleki, mobali ya Naomi, akufaki; mpe Naomi atikalaki ye moko elongo na bana na ye mibale ya mibali.
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.
Bana na ye mibale ya mibali babalaki basi ya Moabi: ya liboso, kombo na ye ezalaki « Oripa; » mpe ya mibale, « Rite. » Sima na bango kowumela kuna mibu pene zomi,
5 And they die also, both of them—Mahlon and Chilion—and the woman is left of her two children and of her husband.
Maaloni mpe Kilioni bakufaki. Naomi atikalaki ye moko, azangaki bana na ye mibale ya mibali mpe mobali na ye.
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.
Tango Naomi ayokaki wuta na Moabi ete Yawe ayaki mpo na kosunga bato na Ye na kopesa bango biloko ya kolia, ye elongo na babokilo na ye ya basi babongamaki mpo na kozonga na Yuda wuta na Moabi.
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.
Elongo na babokilo na ye mibale ya basi, Naomi alongwaki na esika oyo azalaki kovanda mpe azwaki nzela mpo na kozonga na mokili ya Yuda.
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;
Bongo Naomi alobaki na babokilo na ye mibale ya basi: — Bozonga, moto na moto na ndako ya mama na ye. Tika ete Yawe asalela bino bolamu ndenge bosalaki bolamu epai ya bato oyo bakufaki mpe epai na ngai moko.
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.
Tika ete Yawe apesa na moko na moko na bino bopemi kati na ndako ya mobali mosusu. Bongo Naomi apesaki bango beze, mpe balelaki makasi.
10 And they say to her, “Surely with you we go back to your people.”
Sima, balobaki na ye: — Tokokende elongo na yo, epai ya bato na yo.
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?
Kasi Naomi azongiselaki bango: — Bana na ngai ya basi, bozonga na bandako na bino. Mpo na nini kolanda ngai? Boni, nakoki lisusu kobota bana mibali oyo bakoki kozala mibali na bino?
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:
Bana na ngai, bozonga epai na bino; nakomi mobange makasi, nakokoka lisusu kobala te. Ata soki nakanisi ete nazali nanu na elikya ya kobota, mpe, na butu ya lelo, nasangisi nzoto na mobali, mpe naboti bana mibali,
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.”
boni, bokokoka penza kozela kino bakokola? Bokokoba kaka kozanga kobala mpo na bango? Te, bana na ngai! Mawa na ngai ezali makasi koleka mawa na bino, pamba te loboko na Yawe eyokisi ngai pasi makasi.
14 And they lift up their voice, and weep again, and Orpah kisses her mother-in-law, and Ruth has cleaved to her.
Tango bayokaki bongo, balelaki lisusu. Boye Oripa apesaki mama-bokilo na ye beze mpe mbote ya suka. Kasi Rite akangamaki kaka na ye.
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.”
Naomi alobaki na Rite: — Tala, mbanda na yo azongi epai ya bato na ye mpe epai ya banzambe na ye; yo mpe zonga elongo na ye.
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.
Kasi Rite azongiselaki ye: — Kotindika ngai na makasi te ete natika yo to napengwa na nzela na yo; pamba te na esika nyonso oyo yo okokende nde ngai mpe nakokende, mpe na esika nyonso oyo yo okovanda nde ngai mpe nakovanda; bato na yo bakozala bato na ngai, mpe Nzambe na yo akozala Nzambe na ngai.
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 esika oyo yo okokufa nde ngai mpe nakokufa, mpe na esika yango nde bakokunda ngai. Tika ete Yawe apesa ngai etumbu ya makasi soki eloko mosusu ekaboli biso longola kaka kufa.
18 And she sees that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceases to speak to her;
Tango Naomi amonaki ete Rite atingami kaka kokende na ye elongo, atikaki kotindika ye na makasi.
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?”
Yango wana, bango mibale bakendeki kino bakomaki na Beteleemi. Tango bakomaki na Beteleemi, engumba mobimba eyokaki mawa mpo na bango. Mpe basi batunaki: — Oyo Naomi?
20 And she says to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly to me,
Ye alobaki na bango: — Bobenga ngai lisusu Naomi te, kasi Mara; pamba te Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso ayokisi ngai mawa mingi.
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?”
Nazalaki na biloko ebele tango nakendeki, kasi Yawe azongisi ngai maboko pamba. Bongo mpo na nini kobenga ngai lisusu Naomi? Yawe ayokisi ngai pasi, mpe Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso ayokisi ngai mawa.
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.
Ndenge wana nde Naomi azongaki na Yuda wuta na Moabi, elongo na Rite, moto ya Moabi, bokilo na ye ya mwasi. Bakomaki na Beteleemi, na ebandeli ya tango oyo babukaka bambuma ya orje.
