Ruth 1
1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to dwell in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
Pripetilo se je torej v dneh, ko so vladali sodniki, da je bila v deželi lakota. In nek mož iz Judovega Betlehema je odšel, da začasno prebiva v moábski deželi, on in njegova žena in njegova dva sinova.
2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
Ime moža je bilo Eliméleh, ime njegove žene pa Naomí in ime njegovih dveh sinov Mahlón in Kiljón, Efrátejci iz Judovega Betlehema. Prišli so v moábsko deželo in tam ostali.
3 And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Naomín soprog Eliméleh je umrl in bila je zapuščena in njena dva sinova.
4 And they took for themselves wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelt there about ten years.
In vzela sta si ženi izmed moábskih žensk. Ime ene je bilo Orpa, ime druge pa je bilo Ruta. In tam so prebivali okoli deset let.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left without her two sons and her husband.
Tudi Mahlón in Kiljón, oba izmed njiju, sta umrla. In ženska je bila zapuščena od svojih dveh sinov in od svojega soproga.
6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them food.
Potem je vstala s svojima snahama, da bi se lahko vrnila iz moábske dežele, kajti v moábski deželi je slišala, kako je Gospod obiskal svoje ljudstvo, ko jim je dajal kruh.
7 Therefore she went forth from the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
Zato je odšla iz kraja, kjer je bila in njeni dve snahi z njo in odšle so na pot, da se vrnejo v Judovo deželo.
8 And Naomi said to her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Naomí je svojima dvema snahama rekla: »Pojdita, vrnita se vsaka k hiši svoje matere. Gospod naj prijazno postopa z vama, kakor sta vidve postopali z mrtvima in z menoj.
9 The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
Gospod naj vama zagotovi, da bosta lahko našli počitek, vsaka izmed vaju, v hiši svojega soproga.« Potem ju je poljubila. Oni pa sta povzdignili svoj glas in zajokali.
10 And they said to her, Surely we will return with thee to thy people.
Rekli sta ji: »Zagotovo se bova s teboj vrnili k tvojemu ljudstvu.«
11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Naomí je rekla: »Obrnita se, moji hčeri. Čemu hočeta iti z menoj? Mar je v moji maternici vendar še kaj sinov, da bi bili vajini soprogi?
12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
Ponovno se obrnita, moji hčeri, pojdita svojo pot, kajti prestara sem, da bi imela soproga. Če bi rekla, imam upanje, če bi tudi nocoj imela soproga in bi mu tudi rodila sinove,
13 Would ye wait for them till they should be grown? would ye restrain yourselves from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD hast gone out against me.
bi se zadrževali zanju dokler ne bi odrasla? Bi ostali zanju, da ne bi imeli soprogov? Ne, moji hčeri, kajti to me zelo žalosti zaradi vaju, da se je Gospodova roka iztegnila zoper mene.«
14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clung to her.
Povzdignili sta glas in ponovno zajokali. Orpa je poljubila svojo taščo, toda Ruta se je trdno pridružila k njej.
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law hath gone back to her people, and to her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.
Rekla je: »Glej, tvoja svakinja je odšla nazaj k svojemu ljudstvu in k svojim bogovom. Vrni se za svojo svakinjo.«
16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to turn away from following thee: for where thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Ruta pa je rekla: »Ne zahtevaj, da te zapustim ali da se vrnem od sledenja za teboj, kajti kamor greš ti, bom šla jaz. In kjer ti prenočuješ, bom prenočevala jaz. Tvoje ljudstvo bo moje ljudstvo in tvoj Bog [bo] moj Bog.
17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if any thing but death shall part thee and me.
Kjer ti umreš, bom umrla jaz in tam bom pokopana. Gospod naj mi tako stori in še več, če bi karkoli razen smrti, ločilo tebe in mene.«
18 When she saw that she was steadfastly resolved to go with her, then she finished speaking to her.
Ko je videla, da je bila neomajnega mišljenja, da gre z njo, potem je opustila, da ji prigovarja.
19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
Tako sta obe odšli, dokler nista prišli v Betlehem. Pripetilo se je, ko sta prišli v Betlehem, da je bilo vse mesto vznemirjeno glede njiju in rekli so: » Ali ni to Naomí?«
20 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
Odgovorila jim je: »Ne imenujte me Naomí, imenujte me Mara, kajti Vsemogočni je zelo grenko postopal z menoj.
21 I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
Odšla sem polna, Gospod pa me je ponovno privedel domov prazno. Zakaj me torej imenujete Naomí, glede na to, da je Gospod pričeval zoper mene in me je Vsemogočni prizadel?«
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, who returned from the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
Tako se je Naomí vrnila in z njo njena snaha Moábka Ruta, ki sta se vrnili iz moábske dežele. V Betlehem sta prišli ob začetku ječmenove žetve.
