< Ruth 1 >

1 During the time before kings ruled Israel, (there was a famine/the people there had nothing to eat). There was a man who lived there whose name was Elimelech. His wife’s name was Naomi, and his sons’ names were Mahlon and Chilion. They were all from Bethlehem [town], from the Ephrath [clan] in Judah [region].
Андэ кола деса, кала хулаинас э сындомаря, андэ кодыя пхув тердяпэ бок. Екх мануш анда Вифлеемо, кай андэ Иудея, пэрэжыля андэ Моавицко пхув екхтанэ ла ромняса тай дуе шавэнца.
2 Because of the famine, they left Bethlehem and went east to [live for a while in] Moab [region].
Кадылэ манушэс акхарэнас Элимелехо, лэстеря ромня — Наоми, ай лэстерэ дуе шавэн — Махлоно тай Килионо. Вонэ саслэ аракхадэ андо Эфрато — анда Вифлеемо, кай исын андэ Иудея. Вонэ авилэ андэ Моавицко пхув, кай тэ пожувэн котэ.
3 While they were there, Elimelech died, and Naomi had only her two sons with her.
О Элимелехо, о ром ла Наомияко, муля, и вой ашыляпэ екхжэни лэ дуе шавэнца.
4 They married women from Moab. One of them was named Orpah, and the other one was named Ruth. But after they had lived in that area for about ten years,
Вонэ линэ пэсти ромнян моавитянкэн — екха акхарэнас Орпа, ай авря Руфь. Кала прожылэ паша э дэш бэрша,
5 Mahlon and Chilion died. So then Naomi had no husband and no sons.
о Махлоно тай о Килионо кадя жэ мулинэ, э Наоми ашыляпэ би ромэсти и би шавэнди.
6 One day while Naomi was in Moab, she heard someone say that Yahweh had helped his people in Israel and that now there was plenty of food to eat. So she prepared to return [to Bethlehem].
Кала пэ Моавицки маля э Наоми угангля, со о РАЙ сгындосардя пала Пэсти мануша тай дя лэнди хамос, вой закамля тэ рисайвэл андай Моавицко пхув черэ. Ласа жылэ и лати дуй боря.
7 She left the place where she had been living and started to walk [with her daughters-in-law] along the road back to Judah.
Э Наоми мэкляпэ андо дром, и лати боря жылэ ласа. Па дром андэ Иудея
8 Then as the three of them were walking, Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Each of you should turn around and go back to your mother’s home. You treated [your husbands] kindly [before] they died, and you have treated me kindly.
э Наоми пхэндя пэстерэ дуен борянди: — Рисайвэн черэ каринг тумарэ чяче йиря! Мэк о РАЙ авэл тынгуно каринг тумэндэ, сар и тумэ саслэ лашэ важ тумарэ рома, савэ мулинэ, и важ мандэ.
9 Now I desire that Yahweh will enable each of you to have another husband in whose home you will [feel] secure.” Then she kissed both of them, and they cried aloud.
Мэк о РАЙ дэл зор кажнонати тумэндар тэ аракхэл бах андо чер аврэ ромэско. Вой чюмидэлас лэн, сар ля тэ жалтар, ай вонэ заголосусардэ, заровлэ
10 They each said, “No, we want to go with you as you return to your relatives.”
и пхэндэ лати: — Амэ рисайвэса туса каринг терэ мануша.
11 But Naomi said, “No, my daughters, return home. (It will not do any good for you to come with me!/What good will it do for you to come with me?) [RHQ] Do you think I will get married again and have more sons who could become your husbands?
Э Наоми пхэндя: — Щеялэ, рисайвэн черэ. Пала со тумэ тэ жан манца? Мэ со, анава инке шавэн, савэ авэна тумэнди ромэнца?
12 Even if I thought I could have another husband, and even if I got married today and became pregnant [EUP] tonight and later gave birth to sons,
Рисайвэн черэ, мэрнэ щея, мэ сым пхури, кай тэ жав пала ром. Кала мэ и гындоя, со мандэ инке исын надежда, — сар кай андэ кадыя рят мэ тэ совав ромэса, ай тунче тэ анав шавэн, —
13 would you remain single/unmarried until they grew up [and became old enough] for you to marry? No, my daughters, [you would not do that]. Your situations are bad [because your husbands have died, but it is possible that you will each marry again]. My situation is much worse, because Yahweh [SYN] has opposed me, [and now I am too old to get married again].”
сар тумэнди трэбуй тэ аштярэн, кала вонэ вибарёна? Трэбуй ли тумэнди тэ ашэнпэ ся кадыя время би ромэнди?! Най, мэрнэ щея. Мэрни грижа фартэ пхари важ тумэндэ, о РАЙ шутя пэр мандэ Пэсти холи.
14 Then Ruth and Orpah cried again [because of what Naomi said]. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, [and left], but Ruth clung to Naomi.
Вонэ упалэ заголосусардэ и заровлэ. Э Орпа чюмидя ла сасуя, сар ля тэ жалтар, ай э Руфь отпхэндяпэ тэ жалтар.
15 Naomi said to her, “Look! Your sister-in-law is going back to her relatives and to her gods! Go back with her!”
Э Наоми пхэндя: — Дикх, тери ятровка рисайвэл каринг пэстерэ мануша тай каринг пэсти дэвэла. Жа и ту ласа.
16 But Ruth replied, “No! Don’t urge me to leave you! I [want to] go with you. Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay. Your relatives will be my relatives, and the God you [worship] will be the God I [worship].
Ай э Руфь пхэндя: — На манг ман тэ ашавав тут и тэ рисайвав. Мэ жава инчя, каринг жаса ту, и ашавапэ котэ, кай ту ашэсапэ, терэ мануша авэна мэрнэ мануша, теро Дэл авэла мэрно Дэвэл.
17 Where you die, I will die. Where you are buried, I will be buried. May Yahweh punish me severely if I separate from you. I will be separated from you only [when one of us] dies.”
Кай ту мэрэса, котэ и мэ мэрава, тай котэ мэк ман и прахона. Мэк кадя тай кадя тэ марэл ман о РАЙ, кати екх о мэримос розашавэла амэн туса!
18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was very determined to go with her, she stopped urging her [to return home].
Э Наоми поля, кай э Руфь састэс приля андо ди тэ жал ласа, и парашыля тэ отбишалэл ла.
19 So the two women continued walking until they came to Bethlehem. When they arrived there, everyone in town was excited [to see] them. The women [of the town] exclaimed, “(Can this be Naomi?/It is difficult to believe that this is Naomi!)” [RHQ]
Вонэ жанас дужэнэ жы каринг о Вифлеемо. Кала вонэ авилэ андо Вифлеемо, андо форо тердяпэ бари дума. — Када э Наоми?! — пушэнас э жувля.
20 Naomi said to them, “Don’t call me Naomi, [which means ‘pleasant’]. Instead, call me Mara, [which means ‘bitter’], because God Almighty has made my life very unpleasant.
Ай э Наоми пхэндя лэнди: — На акхарэн ман Наоми, ай пхэнэн Мара, пала кода со о Майзорало тердя мэрно жувимос кэрко!
21 When I left here, I [felt] rich, [because I had a family]. But Yahweh has brought me back here and now I [feel] poor, [because I have no family]. Do not call me Naomi [RHQ]. [I feel as though] Yahweh has spoken against (OR, afflicted) me. Almighty [God] has caused me to experience a great tragedy.”
Кала мэ жылэмастар, мандэ сас ся, ай о РАЙ андя ман палпалэ ни соза. Пала со ж тумэ акхарэн ман Наоми? О РАЙ сындосардя ман, о Майзорало бишалдя манди грижа.
22 That [summarizes the account] of Naomi returning home along with her daughter-in-law Ruth, the woman from Moab. And [it happened that] when they arrived in Bethlehem, the barley [grain] harvest was just beginning.
Кадя рисайля э Наоми, и ласа андай Моавицко пхув авиля лати бори, э Руфь моавитянка. Вонэ авиле андо Вифлеемо, кала авиля время тэ стидэн о ячмэно.
