Ruth 1
1 It happened in the days when the judges ruled that there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem of Judah went to the country of Moab with his wife and his two sons.
Tañ’andro nifehea’ o mpizakao, le nisalikoeñe i taney vaho nitaveañe mb’an-tane Moabe t’i nte-Betlekheme e Iehoda, ie naho i tañanjomba’ey reketse ty ana-dahi’e roe.
2 The name of the man was Elimelek, and the name of his wife was Naomi. The names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion, who were Ephrathites of Bethlehem of Judah. They arrived at the country of Moab and lived there.
I Elimeleke ty tahina’ indatiy naho i Noomie ty tahina’ i vali’ey vaho natao ty hoe Maklone naho Kiliona i ana-dahi’e roe rey. Nte Efratà e Betlekheme Iehoda iereo, nimb’an-tane Moabe mb’eo vaho nitambatse añe.
3 Then Elimelek, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons.
Nihomak’ amy zao t’i Elimeleke, vali’ i Noomie; nifary aze naho i ana-dahi’e roe rey
4 These sons took wives from the women of Moab; the name of one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth. They lived there for about ten years.
ie songa nañenga ampela nte-Moabe ho vali’e; i Orpae ty añara’ty raike naho i Rote ty añara’ ty raike le nimoneñe ao folo taoñe varañe,
5 Then both Mahlon and Kilion died, leaving Naomi without her husband and without her two children.
vaho sindre nihomake t’i Maklone naho i Kiliona, aa le pok’ ana-dahy roe naho i vali’ey i rakembay.
6 Then Naomi decided to leave Moab with her daughters-in-law and return to Judah because she had heard in the region of Moab that Yahweh had helped his people in need and had given them food.
Niongake amy zao re himpoly rekets’ o vinanto’eo boak’ an-tane Moabe añe, amy t’ie nahajanjiñe an-tane Moabe ao te nihaoñe’ Iehovà ondati’eo le fa nifahana’e mahakama.
7 So she left the place where she had been with her two daughters-in-law, and they walked down the road to return to the land of Judah.
Aa le niavotse i fimoneña’ey, ie naho i vinanto’e ampela roe rey vaho nionjomb’ an-tane Iehoda mb’eo;
8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return, each of you, to your mother's house. May Yahweh show kindness toward you, as you have shown kindness toward the dead and toward me.
le hoe ty asa’ i Noomie amy vinanto’e roe rey, Akia, mimpolia songa mb’ añ’ anjomban-drene’e mb’eo. Hitahy anahareo t’Iehovà mira ami’ty nañasoa’ areo ahy naho i nivilasy rey.
9 May the Lord grant you that you find rest, each of you in the house of another husband.” Then she kissed them, and they raised their voices and cried.
Hitolora’ Iehovà abey t’ie songa handrèndreke fañanintsiñe an-kibohom-bali’e ao. Norofa’e amy zao le sindre nangololoike;
10 They said to her, “No! We will return with you to your people.”
vaho hoe ty lie’ iareo aze: Aiy! hindre fimpoly ama’o mb’am’ ondati’oo mb’eo zahay.
11 But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters! Why will you go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb for you, so that they may become your husbands?
Hoe ka t’i Noomie, Mibaliha ry anake, aia ty hindreza’ areo lia amako? Mbe aman’ ana-dahy an-koviko ao hao ho valie’ areo indraike?
12 Turn back, my daughters, go your own way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said, 'I hope I get a husband tonight,' and then give birth to sons,
Mimpolia ry anako, akia! fa loho bey iraho te hanam-baly. Aa naho nanoeko ty hoe, Amam-pitamàn-draho, naho toe hanam-baly anito haleñe, vaho nahasamake ana-dahy,
13 would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you choose not to marry a husband? No, my daughters! It is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of Yahweh has gone out against me.”
ho lìñe’ areo hao te añoñ’ay? hifoneña’ areo te tsy hengaeñe? Aiy, ry anako, loho mafaitse amako ty ama’ areo izay, amy te nafote’ Iehovà amako ty fità’e.
14 Then her daughters-in-law lifted up their voices and cried again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law farewell, but Ruth held on to her.
Nirovetse indraike iereo. Norofa’ i Orpae ty rafoza’e fe nipitek’ ama’e t’i Rote.
15 Naomi said, “Listen, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. Go back with your sister-in-law.”
Aa hoe re, Hehe te nimpoly mb’am’ ondati’eo naho mb’andrahare’e mb’eo ty rañao’o; ehe oriho i rañao’oy.
16 But Ruth said, “Do not make me go away from you, for where you go, I will go; where you stay, I will stay; your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.
Fe hoe ty asa’ i Rote: Ko osihe’o hieng’ azo, ndra hibalike tsy hañorihako ka! Ze omba’o hombako, ze imoneña’o himoneñako; ho ondatiko ondati’oo, le ho Andrianañahareko t’i Andrianañahare’o.
17 Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May Yahweh punish me, and even more, if anything but death ever separates us.”
Ze ihomaha’o ty hikenkañako, le ao ty hampigodoñañ’ahy. Ee te hanoe’ Iehovà amako vaho lombolombo izay ka, naho tsy ty havilasy avao ty hifampiriañ’ antika!
18 When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped arguing with her.
Ie nioni’e te niharoke, te hindre lia ama’e, le tsy nisaontsie’e ka.
19 So the two traveled until they came to the town of Bethlehem. It happened that when they arrived in Bethlehem, the entire town was very excited about them. The women said, “Is this Naomi?”
Aa le nitrao-pañavelo, ie roe ampara’ te nigodañe e Betlekheme ao. Ie pok’e Betlekheme le namangetseketseke i rovay iaby iereo; le hoe o rakembao: I Noomie hao?
20 But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi. Call me Bitter, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
Le hoe re am’ iereo: Ko atao’ areo Noomie ka, te mone Màra ty hanoa’ areo ahy, ty amy hafairañe nanoe’ i El-Sadai amakoy.
21 I went out full, but Yahweh has brought me home again empty. So why do you call me Naomi, seeing Yahweh has condemned me, that the Almighty has afflicted me?”
Nianjan-draho te nionjoñe, fe nampolie’ Iehovà kapaike; ino ty anoa’ areo ahy Noomie kanao nanesek’ ahy t’Iehovà, vaho hankàñe ty nafetsa’ i El-Sadai amako?
22 So Naomi and Ruth the Moabite woman, her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
Aa le nimpoly t’i Noomie rekets’ i Rote nte Moabe vinanto’e nindre-lia ama’e boak’ an-tane Moabe añe, niheo e Betlekheme ao ami’ty fifotoram-pitatahañe vare hordea.
