Ruth 1
1 It happened in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
Pripetilo se je torej v dneh, ko so vladali sodniki, da je bila v deželi lakota. In nek mož iz Judovega Betlehema je odšel, da začasno prebiva v moábski deželi, on in njegova žena in njegova dva sinova.
2 The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Kilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
Ime moža je bilo Eliméleh, ime njegove žene pa Naomí in ime njegovih dveh sinov Mahlón in Kiljón, Efrátejci iz Judovega Betlehema. Prišli so v moábsko deželo in tam ostali.
3 Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Naomín soprog Eliméleh je umrl in bila je zapuščena in njena dva sinova.
4 And they took for themselves wives from the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years.
In vzela sta si ženi izmed moábskih žensk. Ime ene je bilo Orpa, ime druge pa je bilo Ruta. In tam so prebivali okoli deset let.
5 Mahlon and Kilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
Tudi Mahlón in Kiljón, oba izmed njiju, sta umrla. In ženska je bila zapuščena od svojih dveh sinov in od svojega soproga.
6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
Potem je vstala s svojima snahama, da bi se lahko vrnila iz moábske dežele, kajti v moábski deželi je slišala, kako je Gospod obiskal svoje ljudstvo, ko jim je dajal kruh.
7 She went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
Zato je odšla iz kraja, kjer je bila in njeni dve snahi z njo in odšle so na pot, da se vrnejo v Judovo deželo.
8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Naomí je svojima dvema snahama rekla: »Pojdita, vrnita se vsaka k hiši svoje matere. Gospod naj prijazno postopa z vama, kakor sta vidve postopali z mrtvima in z menoj.
9 The LORD grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband." Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
Gospod naj vama zagotovi, da bosta lahko našli počitek, vsaka izmed vaju, v hiši svojega soproga.« Potem ju je poljubila. Oni pa sta povzdignili svoj glas in zajokali.
10 They said to her, "No, but we will return with you to your people."
Rekli sta ji: »Zagotovo se bova s teboj vrnili k tvojemu ljudstvu.«
11 Naomi said, "Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Naomí je rekla: »Obrnita se, moji hčeri. Čemu hočeta iti z menoj? Mar je v moji maternici vendar še kaj sinov, da bi bili vajini soprogi?
12 Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, 'I have hope,' if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons;
Ponovno se obrnita, moji hčeri, pojdita svojo pot, kajti prestara sem, da bi imela soproga. Če bi rekla, imam upanje, če bi tudi nocoj imela soproga in bi mu tudi rodila sinove,
13 would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of the LORD has gone out against me."
bi se zadrževali zanju dokler ne bi odrasla? Bi ostali zanju, da ne bi imeli soprogov? Ne, moji hčeri, kajti to me zelo žalosti zaradi vaju, da se je Gospodova roka iztegnila zoper mene.«
14 They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her people, but Ruth clung to her.
Povzdignili sta glas in ponovno zajokali. Orpa je poljubila svojo taščo, toda Ruta se je trdno pridružila k njej.
15 She said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.
Rekla je: »Glej, tvoja svakinja je odšla nazaj k svojemu ljudstvu in k svojim bogovom. Vrni se za svojo svakinjo.«
16 Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay; your people shall be my people, and your God my God;
Ruta pa je rekla: »Ne zahtevaj, da te zapustim ali da se vrnem od sledenja za teboj, kajti kamor greš ti, bom šla jaz. In kjer ti prenočuješ, bom prenočevala jaz. Tvoje ljudstvo bo moje ljudstvo in tvoj Bog [bo] moj Bog.
17 where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me."
Kjer ti umreš, bom umrla jaz in tam bom pokopana. Gospod naj mi tako stori in še več, če bi karkoli razen smrti, ločilo tebe in mene.«
18 When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
Ko je videla, da je bila neomajnega mišljenja, da gre z njo, potem je opustila, da ji prigovarja.
19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. It happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they asked, "Is this Naomi?"
Tako sta obe odšli, dokler nista prišli v Betlehem. Pripetilo se je, ko sta prišli v Betlehem, da je bilo vse mesto vznemirjeno glede njiju in rekli so: » Ali ni to Naomí?«
20 She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Marah; for Shaddai has dealt very bitterly with me.
Odgovorila jim je: »Ne imenujte me Naomí, imenujte me Mara, kajti Vsemogočni je zelo grenko postopal z menoj.
21 I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and Shaddai has afflicted me?"
Odšla sem polna, Gospod pa me je ponovno privedel domov prazno. Zakaj me torej imenujete Naomí, glede na to, da je Gospod pričeval zoper mene in me je Vsemogočni prizadel?«
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.
Tako se je Naomí vrnila in z njo njena snaha Moábka Ruta, ki sta se vrnili iz moábske dežele. V Betlehem sta prišli ob začetku ječmenove žetve.
