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.
E succedeu que, nos dias em que os juizes julgavam, houve uma fome na terra: pelo que um homem de Beth-lehem de Judah saiu a peregrinar nos campos de Moab, elle e sua mulher, e seus dois filhos:
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.
E era o nome d'este homem Elimelech, e o nome de sua mulher Noemi, e os nomes de seus dois filhos Mahon e Chilion, ephrateos, de Beth-lehem de Judah: e vieram aos campos de Moab, e ficaram ali.
3 Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
E morreu Elimelech, marido de Noemi: e ficou ella com os seus dois filhos,
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.
Os quaes tomaram para si mulheres moabitas: e era o nome d'uma Orpha, e o nome da outra Ruth; e ficaram ali quasi dez annos.
5 Mahlon and Kilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
E morreram tambem ambos, Mahalon e Chilion, ficando assim esta mulher desamparada dos seus dois filhos e de seu marido.
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.
Então se levantou ella com as suas noras, e voltou dos campos de Moab: porquanto na terra de Moab ouviu que o Senhor tinha visitado o seu povo. dando-lhe pão.
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.
Pelo que saiu do logar onde estivera, e as suas duas noras com ella. E, indo ellas caminhando, para voltarem para a terra de Judah,
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.
Disse Noemi ás suas duas noras: Ide, voltae cada uma á casa de sua mãe; e o Senhor use comvosco de benevolencia, como vós usastes com os defuntos e comigo.
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.
O Senhor vos dê que acheis descanço cada uma em casa de seu marido. E, beijando-as ella, levantaram a sua voz e choraram.
10 They said to her, "No, but we will return with you to your people."
E disseram-lhe: Certamente voltaremos comtigo ao teu povo.
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?
Porém Noemi disse: Tornae, minhas filhas, porque irieis comigo? tenho eu ainda no meu ventre mais filhos, para que vos fossem por maridos?
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;
Tornae, filhas minhas, ide-vos embora, que já mui velha sou para ter marido: ainda quando eu dissesse, Tenho esperança, ou ainda que esta noite tivesse marido e ainda parisse filhos,
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."
Esperal-os-hieis até que viessem a ser grandes? deter-vos-hieis por elles, sem tomardes marido? não, filhas minhas, que mais amargo me é a mim do que a vós mesmas; porquanto a mão do Senhor se descarregou contra mim.
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.
Então levantaram a sua voz, e tornaram a chorar: e Orpha beijou a sua sogra, porém Ruth se apegou a ella.
15 She said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.
Pelo que disse: Eis que voltou tua cunhada ao seu povo e aos seus deuses: volta tu tambem após da tua cunhada.
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;
Disse porém Ruth: Não me instes para que te deixe, e me torne de detraz de ti; porque aonde quer que tu fores irei eu, e onde quer que pousares á noite ali pousarei eu; o teu povo é o meu povo, o teu Deus é o meu Deus
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."
Onde quer que morreres morrerei eu, e ali serei sepultada: me faça assim o Senhor, e outro tanto, se outra coisa que não seja a morte me separar de ti.
18 When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
Vendo ella, pois, que de todo estava resolvida para ir com ella, deixou de lhe fallar.
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?"
Assim pois foram-se ambas, até que chegaram a Beth-lehem: e succedeu que, entrando ellas em Beth-lehem, toda a cidade se commoveu por causa d'ellas, e diziam: Não é esta Noemi?
20 She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Marah; for Shaddai has dealt very bitterly with me.
Porém ella lhes dizia: Não me chameis Noemi; chamae-me Mara; porque grande amargura me tem dado o Todo-poderoso.
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?"
Cheia parti, porém vazia o Senhor me fez tornar: porque pois me chamareis Noemi? pois o Senhor testifica contra mim, e o Todo-poderoso me tem feito tanto mal.
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.
Assim Noemi voltou, e com ella Ruth a moabita, sua nora, que voltou dos campos de Moab: e chegaram a Beth-lehem no principio da sega das cevadas.
