< 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 дес, кана визэринас лэ вайды, андо тхэм кэрдилас бокх, ай екх мануш катар Вифлеем, андэ Иудея, традас тэ траий куса пэски ромни ай дуе щявэнца андо тхэм Моав.
2 Because of the famine, they left Bethlehem and went east to [live for a while in] Moab [region].
Кадо мануш бущёлас Элимелех, ай лэски ромни — Наоми, ай лэ дуй лэскэ щявэ — Махлон ай Килион. Вон сас катар Эфрата анда Вифлеем, кай сы андэ Иудея. Вон авилэ андо Моав ай траинас котэ.
3 While they were there, Elimelech died, and Naomi had only her two sons with her.
Элимелех, ром ла Наомияко, мулас, ай вой ащилас дуе щявэнца.
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,
Вон лынэ ромнян моавиатянкэн — екх лэндар бущёлас Орпа, ай э кавэр Рут. Пала кодо сар вон траисардэ котэ каринг э дэш бэрш,
5 Mahlon and Chilion died. So then Naomi had no husband and no sons.
Ви Махлон ай Килион мулэ, ай Наоми ащилас би щявэнго ай ви би ромэско.
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].
Наоми шундас андо Моав, кэ о Рай Яхва ажутысардас пэскэ манушэнгэ ай дас лэн хабэ, ай Наоми пэскэ боранца гэтосайлас тэ болдэл-пэ кхэрэ.
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.
Пэскэ боранца вой ащядас тхан, кай траияс, ай гэлас андо дром, саво трубуяс тэ анэл лэн палпалэ андэ пхув Иудаски.
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.
Наоми пхэндас пэскэ борангэ: — Болдэн-тумэ сако андо пэска дако кхэр. Мэк о Рай Яхва авэл милошо каринг тумэ, сар ви тумэ санас милоша кай тумарэ мулэ ром ай 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 дэл о Рай Яхва саконакэ тумэндар тэ аракхэл пачя андо кхэр кай нэво ром. Вой чюмидас лэн, ай вон зуралэс рутэ
10 They each said, “No, we want to go with you as you return to your relatives.”
ай пхэндэ лакэ: — Амэ жяса туса кай тирэ мануш.
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?
Алом э Наоми пхэндас: — Болдэн-тумэ палпалэ кхэрэ, мурэ щея. Состар тэ жян манца? Мандэ наштык авэн инкэ щявэ, савэ кэрдёна тумарэ ром.
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,
Болдэн-тумэ кхэрэ, мурэ щея; мэ аба сым пхури, тэ авэл ма кавэр ром. Ви тэ гиндысардэмас, кэ сы ман бизыяла, — ви андэ кады рати тэ авилэмас ромэса, ай котар кэрдэмас щявэн, –
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 тумэ жутярна, жи пун вон барона? Шай ли тумэ ащен са кады врама би ромэнго? На, мурэ щея. Мури брига зуралэс пхари тумэнгэ, анда кадо кэ о васт лэ Раско лэ Яхваско болдас-пэ чёрэс каринг мандэ!
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.
Ай атунчи вон палэ зуралэс рутэ. Ай э Орпа чюмидас пэска сокра по палуныпэ, алом э Рут ащилас ласа.
15 Naomi said to her, “Look! Your sister-in-law is going back to her relatives and to her gods! Go back with her!”
— Дыкх, — пхэндас Наоми, — тири бори болдэл-пэ палпалэ кай пэскэ мануш ай кай пэскэ дэвла. Болдэ-ту ви 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].
Алом э Рут пхэндас: — На кикидэ пэ мандэ, тэ мэкав тут вай тэ болдав-ма тутар. Кай жяса ту, котэ ви мэ, ай кай ту ащядёса, ащядював ви мэ. Тирэ мануш авна мурэ мануш, ай тиро Дэл авла муро Дэл.
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 мэрэс ту, мэрав ви мэ, ай котэ аво прахомэ. Фэри о мэрипэ лэл ман тутар. Мэк марэл ман о Рай Яхва зуралэс, тэ авла кавэрэс.
18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was very determined to go with her, she stopped urging her [to return home].
Кана Наоми атярдас, со э Рут щютас-пэ зуралэс тэ жял ласа, вой ащядилас тэ марэл ла тэлэ.
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]
Ай солдуй жювля гэлэ май дур, жи пон чи авилэ андо Вифлеем. Кана вон дынэ андрэ, са о форо бугзысайлас анда лэндэ, ай лэ жювля пхэннас: — На кады э Наоми?
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.
— На акхарэн ман Наоми, — пхэндас вой лэнгэ. — Пхэнэн мангэ Мара, анда кадо кэ о Май Зурало кэрдас кэрко муро траё.
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.”
Мэ гэлэмтар анда кадо форо барвалы, ай о Дэл болдас ман палпалэ би канческо. Состар тэ пхэнэн мангэ Наоми? О Рай Яхва щюдас ман андэ брига; о Май Зурало мэклас пэ ман бида.
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.
Кадэ Наоми болдас-пэ анда Моав пэска бораса, моавитянкаса ла Рутаса. Вон авилэ андо Вифлеем, кана мануш лынэ тэ кидэн ячмень.
