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].
Korapa'ma keaga refakohu vahe'mo'za (jasi) mopa kva hu'naza knafi, tusi'a zamagate'za Juda mopare fore higeno, mago nera Betlehemu, Juda mopareti ne'mo, osi'agna Moapu umaniku nenarone, tare ne'ane zamavareno vu'ne.
2 Because of the famine, they left Bethlehem and went east to [live for a while in] Moab [region].
Ana ne'mofo agi'a, Elimeleki'e, nenaro agi'a Naomi'e, hagi tare ne'amokizni znagi'a, Maloni'ene, Kilionike. Efrata naga nofipintira Betlehemu Juda mopafinti Moab mopare e'za emani'naze.
3 While they were there, Elimelech died, and Naomi had only her two sons with her.
Ana mopare mani'nageno, Naomi neve, Elimeleki'a frigeno, Naomi'a tare ne'mofavre'ane zamagraku mani'naze.
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,
Higeno tare ne'amokea Moapu mopareti mofatre ara eri'na'e. Mago'mofo agi'a, Opa'e, hanki mago'mofo agi'a Ruti'e. Ana nehu'za 10i'a Zagegafu naza anantega mani'naze.
5 Mahlon and Chilion died. So then Naomi had no husband and no sons.
Anante mani'nageno Naomina, tare mofavre'a Maloni'ene, Kilionikea anazanke hu'ne fri'na'e. Ana hzageno, Naomina, tare mofavre'ane, neve'ene, fri'zageno, zavi neteno agraku mani'ne!
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].
Moapuma mani'neno antahiama Ramo'a asomu huntegeno, agri'a vahepina ne'zamo'a avitema higeno'a, Naomi'a mopa'are vunaku retro nehigeno, nenoferokea, agrane vunaku tro hu'na'e.
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.
Nenofero a'trene, agrane (Naomi) nemaniza mopa atre'za vu'za Judama nevaza kante uhanati'naze.
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.
Anante Naomi'a tarega nenoferokiznigu anage hu'ne, Taregamotna'a kama antahi'o, antatani'amofo nontega vi'o. Fri'naza nagate'ene, nagrite'enema tanagrama ha'a avu'ava zantera, Anumzamo'a tanagrira ana huno knare avu'ava huranantesie.
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.
Kasefa ve eritna nonkuma huta manisapina Anumzamo'a knare'za huno kegava huranantegahie huno neznasmino, zanagi antako nehige'za krafa hu'za zavi ate'naze.
10 They each said, “No, we want to go with you as you return to your relatives.”
Hianagi zanagra anage hu'na'e. O'e, tagra kagri vahetega kagrane vugahu'e, huke asmi'na'e.
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?
Hu'neanagi, Naomi'a kenonazni'a anage hu'ne, Kuma tani'arega etetna vi'o, mofa'nimotna'a, Judama nagranema vana'a zamofona knare kegafa omane'ne. Nagra knare osu'noanki'na, mofavrea kasentesnugeno, ana mofavremo'a nernave zana osugahie.
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,
Kuma taniarega etetna vi'o, mofa'nimotna'a! Nagra ko tavava te'noanki'na ete'na aravea osugahue. Hagi nagrama meni kenage'ma ve eri'na mofavre zaga kasezamantegahue huasina,
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].”
tanagra knare zanavega ante'nesanke'ne, arave huga kantera ra hate'sino? Tanagra knare vea e'oritna ana kna'afina amnea mani'tesino? O'e, mofa'trenimotna'e, nagranena ovu tfaza hugaha'e. Na'ankure tanagrama eri'a knazana agtere'na nagra eri'noe, Ramo'a nagrira nazeri haviza hu'ne.
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.
Tusi krafa hu'za mago'ene zavira ate'naze. Anante Opa'a nenoferona azerino antako nehuno ete vu'ne. Hianagi ana huo huno huma nenteana, Ruti'a tusi'za huno Naomina agzafeno anuki hampo'na hu'ne.
15 Naomi said to her, “Look! Your sister-in-law is going back to her relatives and to her gods! Go back with her!”
Naomi'a anage hu'ne, Ko, neganunkna'a, vahe'ane, anumzama'a nehirega eteno nevie. Neganunkna amage antenka kumaka'arega vuo, huno asmi'ne.
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].
Hianagi Ruti'a ke'arera amanage hu'ne, Natrenka vuo hunka kagra tutura huonanto. Na'ankure, kagrama inantega vusanana, anantega nagra vugahue. Inante manisanana, nagra anante umanigahu'e. Kagri vahe'mo'za, nagri vahe manigahaze. Kagri Anumzamo'a, nagri Anumza segahie.
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.”
Inante'ma kagrama fri snantera, anante nagra frisnuge'za ase nantegahaze. Anumzamo'a nagrira tusi'a kna namigahie, nagrama nehua kema amage'ma osnugeno'a, magoke'zana fri'zamoke tazeri pasegahie.
18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was very determined to go with her, she stopped urging her [to return home].
Naomi'ma kegeno Ruti'ma hampo'natino agrane vugahue'ma higeno'a, tutu'ma huno'ma huma nenteretira anante atre'ne.
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]
Higeke ana tarega'moke vuvava hu'ne Betlehem uhanatina'e. Betlehemi ufrake'za, ana kumapi miko vahe'mo'za uma hnatina'a zankura tusi muse hu'naze. Ana nehu'za kumate a'ne zagamo'za anage hu'naze, Ama ara Naomio?
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.
Hianagi, Naomi'a ke nonazmi huno, Naomi'e (knaremo'e) hutma nagia ohetma, Mara'e (aka he'ne) huta nagia aheho, na'ankure Miko'zante Kva Hu'nea Hanave Anumzamo (Sovren) knare'zana huonante'ne.
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.”
Amareti'ma atre'na vu'noana maka'zampina avite'na vu'noe, hianagi Ramo'a nazampi omane kno eteno navareno e'ne. Na'a higetma Naomi'e huta nagia nehaze, negazo Ramo'ma nagri'ma ha'ma renenanteno, Miko'zante Kva Hu'nea Hanave Anumzamo (Sovren) nagri'ma nasuzane, natazama nenamiana?
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.
E'ina higeno, Naomi'a nenofero Moabuti a' Ruti'e. Moabuti'ma Betlehemima ehanati na'ana, bali hoza agafa hu'za traga nehaza knafi e'na'e.
