Ruth 1
1 And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
Ary tamin’ ny andro nitsaran’ ny mpitsara dia nisy mosary teo amin’ ny tany. Ary nisy lehilahy avy any Betlehema-joda nandeha nivahiny tany amin’ ny tany Moaba, dia izy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny zanany roa lahy;
2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
Elimeleka no anaran-dralehilahy, ary Naomy no anaran’ ny vadiny, ary ny anaran’ ny zanany roa lahy dia Malona sy Kiliona, Efratita avy any Betlehema-joda izy ireo. Dia tonga tany amin’ ny tany Moaba izy ka nitoetra tany.
3 And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Ary maty Elimeleka, vadin’ i Naomy ka izy sy ny zanany roa lahy ihany no sisa.
4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
Ary naka vady tamin’ ny vehivavy Moabita izy roa lahy: Orpa no anaran’ ny anankiray, ary Rota no anaran’ ny anankiray; dia nitoetra tany Moaba tokony ho folo taona izy.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.
Ary maty koa izy mirahalahy, dia Malona sy Kiliona, ka dia namoy ny zanany roa lahy sy ny vadiny ravehivavy.
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.
Dia niainga izy sy ny vinantoni-vavy ka nody avy tany amin’ ny tany Moaba; fa efa reny tany amin’ ny tany Moaba fa novangian’ i Jehovah ny olony ka nomeny hanina.
7 And 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 unto the land of Judah.
Dia niala tamin’ izay nitoerany izy, ary ny vinantony roa vavy niaraka taminy; ary nandeha teny an-dalana izy hiverina any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda.
8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each of you to her mother’s house: the LORD deal kindly with you as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Ary hoy Naomy tamin’ ny vinantony roa vavy: Andeha, samy mody any amin’ ny tranon-dreninareo avy ianareo; mba hohasoavin’ i Jehovah anie ianareo araka izay efa nataonareo tamin’ ny maty sy tamiko koa.
9 The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
Homen’ i Jehovah tokan-trano anie ianareo ka hahita fiadanana amin’ izay tranon’ ny vadinareo avy. Dia nanoroka azy Naomy; ary izy roa vavy dia samy nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany.
10 And they said unto her, Nay, but we will return with thee unto thy people.
Dia hoy izy roa vavy taminy: Hiara-miverina aminao tokoa izahay ho any amin’ ny firenenao.
11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Fa hoy Naomy: Miverena ihany ianareo, anaka; nahoana no hiara-mandeha amiko ianareo? Mbola misy zazalahy va ato an-kiboko mba ho vadinareo?
12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should even have an husband to-night, and should also bear sons;
Miverena ihany ianareo, anaka, ka mandehana; fa efa antitra aho ka tsy hahazo vady intsony tsy akory. Raha hoy izaho: Manantena ihany aho, eny, na dia hanam-bady anio alina aza aho ka hiteraka zazalahy,
13 would ye therefore tarry till they were grown? would ye therefore stay from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes, for the hand of the LORD is gone forth against me.
moa hahandry azy mandra-pahalehibeny va ianareo ka hijanona tsy hanam-bady? Tsia, anaka, fa mangidy lavitra ny nanjo ahy noho ny nanjo anareo; fa ny tànan’ i Jehovah efa nahinjiny hamely ahy.
14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
Dia samy nanandratra ny feony indray izy roa vavy ka nitomany; ary Orpa dia nanoroka ny rafozani-vavy, fa Rota kosa nifikitra taminy ihany.
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god: return thou after thy sister in law.
Ary hoy izy: Indro ny rahavavinao lasa nody ho any amin’ ny fireneny sy ny andriamaniny ka mba miverena ianao koa hanaraka ny rahavavinao.
16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Fa hoy Rota: Aza manery ahy handao anao sy hiala amin’ ny fanarahana anao; fa izay alehanao no halehako ary izay itoeranao no hitoerako, ny firenenao no ho fireneko, ary ny Andriamanitrao no ho Andriamanitro;
17 where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.
izay tany hahafatesanao no hahafatesako, sady any koa no handevenana ahy; hataon’ i Jehovah amiko anie izany, eny mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy ny fahafatesana ihany no hampisaraka antsika.
18 And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left speaking unto her.
Ary rehefa hitany fa mbola mikikitra homba azy ihany Rota, dia nitsahatra tsy niteny taminy intsony izy.
19 So they two went until they came to Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and [the women] said, Is this Naomi?
Dia nandeha izy mianaka mandra-pahatongany tany Betlehema. Ary rehefa tonga tany Betlehema izy, dia taitra taminy ny tanàna rehetra, ka hoy ny vehivavy hoe: Naomy va re ity?
20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
Fa hoy izy taminy: Aza atao hoe Naomy intsony aho, fa ataovy hoe Mara, satria mangidy indrindra ny nataon’ ny Tsitoha amiko.
21 I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
Nivoaka nanam-be aho, fa ampodin’ i Jehovah tsy manana na inona na inona. Nahoana aho no ataonareo hoe Naomy, fa Jehovah efa nitsangan-ko fahavaloko, ary ny Tsitoha efa nampahory ahy?
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
Dia niverina Naomy, ary Rota, vehivavy Moabita, vinantoni-vavy, nomba azy tamin’ izy niverina avy tany amin’ ny tany Moaba; dia tonga tao Betlehema izy tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny taom-pijinjana ny vary hordea.
