< Ruth 1 >

1 And it was in [the] days of [the] judging of the judges and it was a famine in the land and he went a man from Beth-lehem Judah to sojourn in [the] region of Moab he and wife his and [the] two sons his.
Al tiempo en que gobernaban los Jueces, hubo una carestía en el país; y partió un hombre de Betlehem de Judá para habitar en los campos de Moab, él, su mujer y sus dos hijos.
2 And [the] name of the man [was] Elimelech and [the] name of wife his [was] Naomi and [the] name of [the] two sons his - [was] Mahlon and Kilion Ephrathites from Beth-lehem Judah and they came [the] region of Moab and they were there.
El hombre se llamaba Elimelec, su mujer, Noemí, y los dos hijos, Mahalón y Quelión. Eran efrateos de Betlehem de Judá. Llegados a los campos de Moab vivieron allí.
3 And he died Elimelech [the] husband of Naomi and she was left she and [the] two sons her.
Murió Elimelec, marido de Noemí, y se quedó ella sola con sus dos hijos,
4 And they took for themselves wives Moabite [the] name of the one [was] Orpah and [the] name of the second [was] Ruth and they dwelt there about ten years.
los cuales tomaron mujeres moabitas, siendo el nombre de la una Orfá, y el nombre de la otra Rut. Habitaron allí unos diez años;
5 And they died also both of them Mahlon and Kilion and she was left the woman from both children her and from husband her.
y murieron también esos dos, Mahalón y Quelión, con lo que la mujer quedó privada de sus dos hijos y de su marido.
6 And she arose she and daughters-in-law her and she returned from [the] region of Moab if she had heard in [the] region of Moab that he had visited Yahweh people his by giving to them food.
Ella se levantó con sus nueras, para volverse del país de Moab; porque había oído en los campos de Moab que Yahvé había visitado a su pueblo, dándole pan.
7 And she went out from the place where she had been there and [the] two daughters-in-law her [were] with her and they went on the way to return to [the] land of Judah.
Salió pues del lugar donde estaba, y sus dos nueras con ella, y se pusieron en camino para volver a la tierra de Judá.
8 And she said Naomi to [the] two daughters-in-law her go return [each] woman to [the] house of mother her (may he deal *Q(K)*) Yahweh with you covenant loyalty just as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
Dijo entonces Noemí a sus dos nueras: “Id, volveos cada una a la casa de su madre. Y Yahvé use de misericordia con vosotras, como la habéis usado vosotras con los difuntos y conmigo.
9 May he give Yahweh to you and find rest [each] woman [the] house of husband her and she kissed them and they raised voice their and they wept.
¡Yahvé os conceda que halléis descanso cada cual en casa de un marido suyo!” Y las besó; mas ellas alzaron la voz y se pusieron a llorar.
10 And they said to her that with you we will return to people your.
Y le decían: “No, nosotras iremos contigo a tu pueblo.”
11 And she said Naomi go back O daughters my why? will you go with me ¿ still [belong] to me [do] sons in inward parts my and they will become of you husbands.
A lo cual replicó Noemí: “Volveos, hijas mías. ¿Para qué queréis ir conmigo? ¿Tengo por ventura más hijos en mi seno que puedan ser vuestros maridos?
12 Go back O daughters my go for I am [too] old for belonging to a husband if I said there for me [is] hope also I belonged this night to a husband and also I bore sons.
¡Volveos, hijas mías, andad! Soy ya demasiado vieja para casarme. Aun cuando yo dijera: Tengo esperanza y esta misma noche tuviera un marido y diera a luz hijos,
13 ¿ Therefore - will you wait until that they will grow up ¿ therefore will you shut yourselves off to not to belong to a husband may not [it be] O daughters my for it is bitter to me very more than you that it has gone forth on me [the] hand of Yahweh.
¿acaso esperaríais por eso hasta que ellos fuesen grandes? ¿Os abstendríais por ellos de tener marido? No, hijas mías; porque demasiada amarga es para vosotras mi suerte, pues la mano de Yahvé se ha alzado contra mí.”
14 And they raised voice their and they wept again and she kissed Orpah mother-in-law her and Ruth she clung to her.
Entonces ellas levantando la voz siguieron llorando. Después Orfá besó a su suegra, en tanto que Rut se acogió a ella.
15 And she said there! she has returned sister-in-law your to people her and to gods her go back after sister-in-law your.
Noemí le dijo: “He aquí que tu cuñada ya se ha vuelto a su pueblo y a sus dioses; vuélvete tú también en pos de tu cuñada.”
16 And she said Ruth may not you entreat me to abandon you to turn back from after you for to where you will go I will go and at where you will lodge I will lodge people your [will be] people my and God your [will be] God my.
Rut respondió: “No insistas en que te deje, retirándome de ti: porque adonde tú vayas iré yo, y donde tú mores moraré yo. Tu pueblo será mi pueblo, y tu Dios será mi Dios.
17 At where you will die I will die and there I will be buried thus may he do Yahweh to me and thus may he add if death it will separate between me and between you.
Donde tú murieres, moriré yo, y allí seré sepultada. Que Yahvé me castigue de todas maneras si otra cosa que la muerte me separe de ti.”
18 And she saw that [was] determined she to go with her and she ceased to speak to her.
Viendo (Noemí) que estaba resuelta a ir con ella, dejó de insistirle,
19 And they went [the] two of them until came they Beth-lehem and it was when came they Beth-lehem and it was excited all the city on them and they [fem] said ¿ [is] this Naomi.
y caminaron las dos hasta que llegaron a Betlehem. A su entrada en Betlehem, toda la ciudad se conmovió a causa de ellas, y decían las mujeres: “¿Esta es Noemí?”
20 And she said to them may not you call me Naomi call me Mara for he has caused bitterness [the] Almighty to me exceedingly.
Pero ella les contestó: “No me llaméis más Noemí; llamadme Mará, porque el Todopoderoso me ha llenado de amargura.
21 I full I went and empty he has brought back me Yahweh why? do you call me Naomi and Yahweh he has testified against me and [the] Almighty he has done harm to me.
Colmada salí, y con manos vacías me ha hecho volver Yahvé. ¿Por qué pues me llamáis Noemí, ya que Yahvé ha dado testimonio contra mí, y me ha afligido el Todopoderoso?”
22 And she returned Naomi and Ruth the Moabite [woman] daughter-in-law her [was] with her who returned from [the] region of Moab and they they came Beth-lehem at [the] beginning of [the] harvest of barley.
Volvió por lo tanto Noemí, y con ella Rut, la moabita, su nuera, que había dejado el país de Moab. Llegaron a Betlehem a principios de la siega de las cebadas.
