Ruth 1
1 And it came to pass, in the days when the Judges administered justice, that there was a famine in the land, —and so a certain man went his way, out of Bethlehem-judah to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
न्यायकर्ताहरूले शासन गरेको समयमा मुलुकमा अनिकाल पर्यो । यहूदाको बेथलेहेमको एक जना मानिस आफ्नी पत्नी र दुई जना छोराहरूसँग मोआब देशतिर गए ।
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 out of Bethlehem-judah, —so they came into the country of Moab, and remained there.
ती मानिसको नाउँ एलीमेलेक थियो, र तिनकी पत्नीको नाउँ नाओमी थियो । तिनका दुई जना छोराहरूको नाउँ महलोन र किल्योन थियो । तिनीहरू यहूदाको बेथलेहेमका एप्रातीहरू थिए । तिनीहरू मोआब देशमा आइपुगे र त्यहाँ बोसबास गरे ।
3 And Elimelech, husband of Naomi, died, —and she was left, she and her two sons.
त्यसपछि नाओमीका पति एलीमेलेक मरे र तिनी आफ्ना दुई छोराहरूसहित छोडिइन् ।
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 dwelt there, about ten years.
यी छोराहरूले मोआबका महिलाहरूमध्येबाट पत्नीहरू ल्याए । एउटीको नाउँ ओर्पा र अर्कीको नाउँ रूथ थियो । तिनीहरू त्यहाँ झण्डै दश वर्ष जति बसे ।
5 And, they also, both, died, Mahlon and Chilion, —so the woman was bereft of her two sons, and of her husband.
त्यसपछि नाओमीलाई पति र आफ्ना दुई सन्तानविहीन पारेर महलोन र किल्योन दुवै मरे ।
6 Then she arose, she and her daughters-in-law, and returned out of the country of Moab, —for she had heard, in the country of Moab, how that Yahweh had visited his people, in giving unto them, bread.
त्यसपछि नाओमीले आफ्ना बुहारीहरूसँगै मोआब छोडेर यहूदा फर्कने निर्णय गरिन्, किनभने परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई आवश्यकतामा सहायता गर्नुभएको र तिनीहरूलाई खाने कुरा दिनुभएको कुरा तिनले मोआब प्रदेशमा सुनिन् ।
7 So she went forth out of the dwelling-place where she had remained, and her two daughters-in-law with her, —and they went on the way, to return unto the land of Judah.
त्यसैले तिनले आफ्ना दुई बुहारीहरूसँग बस्दै आएको ठाउँ छोडिन् र तिनीहरू यहूदाको मुलुकमा फर्कनलाई बाटो लागे ।
8 Then said Naomi to her two daughters-in-law: Go return, each one to the house of her mother, —Yahweh deal with you in lovingkindness, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
नाओमीले आफ्ना दुई बुहारीहरूलाई भनिन्, “तिमीहरू हरेक आ-आफ्नो आमाको घरमा फर्केर जाओ । जसरी तिमीहरूले मृतहरूप्रति र मप्रति दया देखाएका छौ, त्यसरी परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई पनि दया देखाउनुभएको होस् ।
9 Yahweh grant you, that ye may find a place of rest, each one in the house of her husband, —And she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
परमप्रभुले तिमीहरू हरेकलाई अर्को पतिको घरमा विश्राम दिनुभएको होस्, ।” त्यसपछि तिनले तिनीहरूलाई चुम्बन गरिन् र तिनीहरू ठुलो स्वरमा रोए ।
10 And they said to her, —With thee, will we return, unto thy people.
तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “होइन, हामी तपाईंसँगै तपाईंका मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्कनेछौँ ।”
11 Then said Naomi—Go back, my daughters! wherefore should ye journey with me? Have I, yet, sons in my womb, that they should become your, husbands?
तर नाओमीले भनिन्, “मेरा छोरीहरू, फर्क! तिमीहरू मसँग किन जान्छौ? के तिमीहरूका पति हुनलाई मेरो कोखमा छोराहरू छन् र?
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 to-night have a husband, and should, even bear sons,
मेरा छोरीहरू, फर्क, आ-आफ्नो बाटो लाग, किनभने पति पाउनलाई म धेरै वृद्ध भइसकेकी छु । यदि मैले, आज राति नै पति पाउँछु भन्ने आशा गर्छु,' भनेँ र छोराहरू जन्माएँ भने पनि,
13 would ye, therefore, tarry until they were grown? would ye, therefore, shut yourselves up from having husbands? Nay! my daughters, for it is far more bitter for me than for you, that forth hath gone against me, the hand of Yahweh.
के तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूको उमेर पुगेसम्म पर्खन्छौ? के तिमीहरूले विवाह गर्न एउटा पति चुन्दैनौ र? होइन, मेरा छोरीहरू! यो त तिमीहरूको खातिर मलाई अति नै तीतो हुन्छ, परमप्रभुको हात मेरो विरुद्धमा लागेको छ ।”
14 And they lifted up their voice and wept, yet more. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in- law, but, Ruth, clave unto her.
त्यसपछि तिनका बुहारीहरू ठुलो स्वरमा रोए । ओर्पाले तिनकी सासूलाई बिदाइको चुम्बन गरिन्, तर रूथ तिनीसँगै टाँसिरहिन् ।
15 And she said—Lo! thy sister-in-law hath gone back, unto her people, and unto her gods, —go thou back, after thy sister-in-law.
नाओमीले भनिन्, “सुन, तिम्री बहिनी त आफ्ना मानिसहरू र आफ्ना देवताहरूकहाँ गइन् । तिम्री बहिनीसँगै फर्केर जाऊ ।”
16 And Ruth said—Do not urge me to leave thee, to go back from following 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;
रूथले भनिन्, “मलाई तपाईंबाट जान नलगाउनुहोस्, किनभने तपाईं जहाँ जानुहुन्छ, म त्यहाँ नै जानेछु; तपाईं जहाँ बस्नुहुन्छ, म त्यहाँ नै बस्नेछु; तपाईंका मानिसहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुनेछन् र तपाईंका परमेश्वर मेरा परमेश्वर हुनुहुनेछ ।
17 where thou diest, I will die, and, there, will I be buried: So, let Yahweh do to me, and, so, let him add, if, death itself, part me and thee.
तपाईं जहाँ मर्नुहुन्छ, म त्यहाँ नै मर्नेछु, र म त्यहीँ नै गाडिनेछु । यदि मृत्युबाहेक कुनै कुराले हामीलाई अलग गर्छ भने परमप्रभुले मलाई दण्ड दिनुभएको होस् र अझ यो भन्दा धैरै गर्नुभएको होस् ।”
18 And, when she saw that, bravely determined, was she to go with her, she ceased entreating her.
जब नाओमीले रूथ तिनीसँगै जानलाई दृढ थिइन् भन्ने देखिन्, तिनले तिनीसँग तर्क गर्न छोडिन् ।
19 So, they two, went their way, until they entered Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they entered Bethlehem, that all the city was moved concerning them, and the women said—Is this Naomi?
त्यसैले तिनीहरू बेथलेहेमको नगरसम्म यात्रा गरे । तिनीहरू बेथलेहेममा आइपुग्दा सारा नगर नै तिनीहरूको निम्ति धेरै उत्साहित थियो । माहिलाहरूले भने, “के यिनी नाओमी नै हुन्?”
20 And she said unto them, Do not call me Naomi ["Sweet"], —call me Mara ["Bitter"], for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me:
तर तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भनिन्, “मलाई नाओमी नभन । मलाई तितो भन, किनभने सर्वशक्तिमानले मसँग धेरै तिक्ततापूर्ण रूपमा व्यवहार गर्नुभएको छ ।
21 I was full when I departed, but, empty, am I brought back of Yahweh, —wherefore should ye call me Naomi, when, Yahweh, hath given answer against me, and, the Almighty, hath crushed me?
म पूर्ण भएर गएँ, तर परमप्रभुले मलाई फेरि रित्तो पारेर घरमा ल्याउनुभएको छ । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले मलाई दण्ड दिनुभएको र सर्वशक्तिमानले ममाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनुभएको देखेर पनि तिमीहरूले मलाई किन नाओमी भन्छौ?”
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab, —and, they, entered Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
यसरी तिनि र तिनकी मोआबी बुहारी रूथ मोआब देशबाट फर्के । तिनीहरू बेथलेहेममा जौको कटनी सुरु हुने समयमा आइपुगे ।
