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.
Israelte lah a thutan vaihom hon vai ahoplaijun gamsung’a kel nasatah ahung lhungtan ahi. Hijeh chun Bethlehem akonnin Juda mi khatnin ajinu leh achateni akipuijin Moab gam’ah cheng ding in achetan ahi.
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.
Hichepa min chu Elimelech ahin ajinu min chu Naomi ahi. Achateni min chu Mahlon leh Chilion ahi. Amahohi Juda gam Bethlehem’a konna Euphrath mi ahiuvin, Moab mite gam alhun phat’un hichea chun achengtaovin ahi.
3 Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Hichejou chun Elimelech chun, ajinu Naomi leh achapa teni chu dalhan ana thitan ahi.
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.
Achapa teni chun Moab numei akichenpi lhonnin, khatnu minchu Orpah ahin chuleh khatnu chu Ruth ahi. Ahinlah kum som joudon’in,
5 Mahlon and Kilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
Mahlon leh Chilion chu athilhon tai. Naomi chu ajipa leh acha teni geijin adalha taovin ahi.
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 YHWH had visited his people in giving them bread.
Moab’a aum na a kona chun Pathen in Judah phatthei aboh in, chang leh mim asuh neng peh kittai tithu Naomi in ajatan ahi. Hijeh chun Naomi in amou teni kipui a Moab dalha a agamlam a kile kit ding in aki gotan ahi.
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.
Amou teni chutoh achennao gam'a kona kipat doh a Judah gam lang jon kit ding in ahung kipat doh taovin ahi.
8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May YHWH deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Ahinlah lampi achun Naomi in amou teni koma hitin asei jin ahi, “Nainkote kom lang’a kile kit lhon tan naji teni ding leh keima dinga naphatna lhonjeh’in Pakai jin phatthei naboh lhon hen!”
9 YHWH 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.
“Pakai jin lungmong in najinei sah lhon hen lang phatthei naboh lhon ta hen” ati. Hichun kivailhah nan aki chopto uvin aki ka-uvin achiplha taovin ahi.
10 They said to her, "No, but we will return with you to your people."
Ahin amouteni chun adonbutin “Kanompoi, kilhon u hitin namite komlang’a keini jong kahung nomlhon e,” atilhonnin ahi.
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?
Ahinlah Naomi in adonbut nin, “Ibola keitoh iche khomdiu ham?” Keiman nangni toh kicheng theiding nao kanei kitthei beh dingham?
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;
Hithei ponte kamouteni, nanu napa lhon in'ah kile lhontan, keima hi la jinei kit ding in kateh valtai. Tujan tah jeng jonghin jinei thei kit ding hileng chapa neipai jeng thei ding hijong leng,
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 YHWH has gone out against me."
Midang toh kichen ding nom louvin hiche teni chu ahung letlhon nangahdoh jou lhon nadem? Ahipoi, hithei mong mong lou ding ahi, kamouteni! Nangni ding gelnan kei kalung akham lheh jenge, ajeh chu Pakai amatah in nangni jeh a hi eijeplo ding ahi,” atipeh lhon tan ahi.
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.
Hichun avellin akikato kittaove, hichun Orpah chun atehpi chu vailhahnan achop in adalhatai, ahin Ruth vang chun atehpi akolchah den tan ahi.
15 She said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.
Naomi chun Ruth kom’ah, “Ven, na unu khu a Pathen komleh amite kom’ah akile kittai, nang jong hitia khu naum ding ahi,” ati.
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;
Ahin Ruth in adonbutnin, “Nangma kadalha a kinungle ding in neijol jol tahih in, nache na channa kacheding, nachen chenna a kachen ding, namite chu kamite hi ding, na Pathen chu ka Pathen hiding,
17 where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried. YHWH do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me."
Nathi thina a kathi ding, nakivuina munna chu kakai vui ding ahi. Thinan eikhen lhon tilouva thildang a kakikhen pi poupouleh Pakaiyin kachunga thutan jeng hen!” ati.
18 When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
Hichun Naomi in, Ruth chun kilhonpi tei ding lunggel dettah anei amudoh phat chun imacha aseitapoi.
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?"
Hiti chun anilhonnin akipat lhontai. Bethlehem alhun lhon phatnin, khopi miho chu akiling jeng taovin ahi. Anumei teho ho chu akihouvun, “Hiche khu Naomi hilou ham?” akitiuve.
20 She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Marah; for Shaddai has dealt very bitterly with me.
Amanun adonbutnin, “Naomi jong neiti tahih uvin, Marah joh neiti jouvin, ajeh chu Hatchungnung Pathen in kahinkho hi khaleuva eikoi ahitai,” ati.
21 I went out full, and YHWH has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since YHWH has testified against me, and Shaddai has afflicted me?"
“Keima bulhingset na potdoh kahin, ahinlah Pakaiyin ahomkeovin eihinle puilut kittai. Pakaiyin hichan geiya eibolgimta a nanghon Naomi neiti nahlai diu ham? chuleh Hatchungnung Pathenin hichangeija hi hamsetna eilhutkhum hitalou ham?” ati.
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.
Hiti chun Naomi chu Moab gamma kon in amounu Moab numei khangthahcha chutoh ahung kile lhon tai. Amani Bethlehem ahung lhun lhon hin sakolchang at akipantai.
