< 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.
At nangyari nang mga kaarawan nang humatol ang mga hukom, na nagkagutom sa lupain. At isang lalaking taga Bethlehem-juda ay yumaong nakipamayan sa lupain ng Moab, siya, at ang kaniyang asawa, at ang kaniyang dalawang anak na lalake.
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.
At ang pangalan ng lalake ay Elimelech, at ang pangalan ng kaniyang asawa ay Noemi, at ang pangalan ng kaniyang dalawang anak ay Mahalon at Chelion, mga Ephrateo na taga Bethlehem-juda. At sila'y naparoon sa lupain ng Moab, at nanirahan doon.
3 Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
At si Elimelech na asawa ni Noemi ay namatay: at siya'y naiwan at ang kaniyang dalawang anak.
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.
At sila'y nagsipagasawa sa mga babae sa Moab; ang pangalan ng isa'y Orpha, at ang pangalan ng isa'y Ruth: at sila'y tumahan doon na may sangpung taon.
5 Mahlon and Kilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
At namatay kapuwa si Mahalon at si Chelion; at ang babae ay naiwan ng kaniyang dalawang anak at ng kaniyang asawa.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y bumangon siya na kasama ng kaniyang dalawang manugang upang siya'y bumalik mula sa lupain ng Moab: sapagka't kaniyang nabalitaan sa lupain ng Moab kung paanong dinalaw ng Panginoon ang kaniyang bayan sa pagbibigay sa kanila ng tinapay.
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.
At siya'y umalis sa dakong kaniyang kinaroroonan, at ang kaniyang dalawang manugang na kasama niya: at sila'y yumaon upang bumalik sa lupain ng Juda.
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.
At sinabi ni Noemi sa kaniyang dalawang manugang, Kayo'y yumaon, na bumalik ang bawa't isa sa inyo sa bahay ng kaniyang ina: gawan nawa kayo ng magaling ng Panginoon, na gaya ng inyong ginawa sa mga namatay at sa akin.
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.
Ipagkaloob nawa ng Panginoon na kayo'y makasumpong ng kapahingahan, bawa't isa sa inyo sa bahay ng kaniyang asawa. Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang hinagkan sila; at inilakas nila ang kanilang tinig at nagsiiyak.
10 They said to her, "No, but we will return with you to your people."
At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Hindi, kundi kami ay babalik na kasama mo sa iyong bayan.
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?
At sinabi ni Noemi, Kayo'y magsibalik, mga anak ko: bakit kayo'y yayaong kasama ko? may mga anak pa ba ako sa aking tiyan, na magiging inyong mga asawa?
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;
Kayo'y magsibalik, mga anak ko, magpatuloy kayo ng inyong lakad; sapagka't ako'y totoong matanda na upang magkaroon pa ng asawa. Kung aking sabihin, Ako'y may pagasa, kung ako'y magkaasawa man ngayong gabi, at ako'y magkakaanak man;
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."
Maghihintay kaya kayo hanggang sa sila'y lumaki? magbabawa kaya kayo na magkaasawa? huwag, mga anak ko: sapagka't daramdamin kong mainam dahil sa inyo, sapagka't ang kamay ng Panginoon ay nanaw laban sa akin.
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.
At inilakas nila ang kanilang tinig at nagsiiyak uli; at hinagkan ni Orpha ang kaniyang biyanan; nguni't si Ruth ay yumakap sa kaniya.
15 She said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.
At sinabi niya, Narito, ang iyong hipag ay bumalik na sa kaniyang bayan, at sa kaniyang dios; bumalik kang sumunod sa iyong hipag.
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;
At sinabi ni Ruth, Huwag mong ipamanhik na kita'y iwan, at bumalik na humiwalay sa iyo; sapagka't kung saan ka pumaroon, ay paroroon ako: at kung saan ka tumigil, ay titigil ako: ang iyong bayan ay magiging aking bayan, at ang iyong Dios ay aking Dios:
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."
Kung saan ka mamatay, ay mamamatay ako, at doon ako ililibing; hatulan ako ng Panginoon at lalo na, maliban ang kamatayan ang maghiwalay sa iyo at sa akin.
18 When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
At nang makita ni Noemi na mapilit ng pagsama sa kaniya, ay tumigil ng pagsasalita sa kaniya.
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?"
Sa gayo'y yumaon silang dalawa hanggang sa sila'y dumating sa Bethlehem. At nangyari, nang sila'y dumating sa Bethlehem, na ang buong bayan ay napataka sa kanila; at sinabi ng mga babae, Ito ba'y si Noemi?
20 She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Marah; for Shaddai has dealt very bitterly with me.
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Huwag na ninyo akong tawaging Noemi, tawagin ninyo akong Mara: sapagka't ginawan ako ng kapaitpaitan ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat.
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?"
Ako'y umalis na puno, at ako'y iniuwi ng Panginoon na walang dala. Bakit ninyo ako tinatawag na Noemi, yamang ang Panginoon ay nagpatotoo laban sa akin, at dinalamhati ako ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat?
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.
Sa gayo'y nagsibalik si Noemi at si Ruth na Moabita, na kaniyang manugang na kasama niya, na nagsibalik mula sa lupain ng Moab: at sila'y nagsidating sa Bethlehem sa pasimula ng pagaani ng sebada.
