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 Beth-lehem-judah went to dwell in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
Alò li te vin rive nan jou ke jij yo te gouvène yo, te genyen yon gwo grangou nan peyi a. Yon sèten mesye ki sòti Bethléem nan Juda te ale pou demere nan peyi Moab la avèk madanm li ak de fis li yo.
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 Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
Mesye a te rele Élimélec e madanm li, Naomi. Epi non a de fis li yo se te Machlon avèk Kiljon, Efratyen yo, de Bethléhem nan Juda. Alò, yo te antre nan peyi Moab la pou te demere la.
3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Epi Élimélec, mari a Naomi an te mouri. Konsa, se li ki te rete avèk de fis li yo.
4 And they took to 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.
De fis yo te pran pou kont yo fanm Moabit yo kon madanm yo. Youn nan yo te rele Orpa e lòt la Ruth. Epi yo te viv la pandan anviwon dis ane.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left by her two sons and her husband.
Alò Machlon avèk Kiljon te vin mouri osi. Konsa, fanm nan vin pèdi de pitit li yo, ansanm ak mari li.
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 bread.
Konsa li te leve avèk bèlfi li pou l ta kab retounen kite Moab. Paske, depi lè li Moab, li tande ke SENYÈ a te vizite pèp li a nan bay yo manje.
7 Wherefore 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.
Konsa, li te pati kote li te ye, de bèlfi li yo te avèk li. Epi yo te fè wout la pou retounen nan peyi Juda.
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.
Epi Naomi te di a de bèlfi li yo: “Ale, retounen nou chak lakay manman nou. Ke SENYÈ a kapab aji anvè nou avèk dousè, jan nou te aji avèk sila ki mouri yo e avèk mwen menm tou.
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.
Ke SENYÈ a kapab pèmèt nou jwenn repo, nou chak lakay a pwòp mari pa li.” Alò, li te bo yo, yo te leve vwa yo wo, epi te kriye.
10 And they said to her, surely we will return with thee to thy people.
Epi yo te di li: “Non, men n ap retounen avè w vè pèp ou a.”
11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? shall I bear more sons, that they may be your husbands?
Naomi te di yo: “Retounen fi mwen yo. Poukisa nou ta dwe ale avè m? Èske m toujou gen fis nan vant mwen pou yo ta vin mari nou?
12 Turn again, my daughters, go [your way]; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, [if] I should have a husband also to-night, and should also bear sons;
Retounen fi mwen yo, paske mwen twò vye pou m gen yon mari. Si m te di nou ke m gen espwa, si m ta menm gen yon mari aswè a pou fè fis,
13 Would ye wait for them till they should be grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes, that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.
Èske konsa nou ta tann jiskaske yo ta grandi? Èske pou sa, nou ta refize marye? Non fi mwen yo, sa fè m trist pou ka nou yo. Paske, men SENYÈ a gen tan parèt kont mwen.”
14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth cleaved to her.
Epi yo te leve vwa yo wo e te kriye ankò. Orpa te bo bèlmè li, men Ruth te rete sou li.
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.
Li te di: “Veye byen, bèlsè ou te retounen vè pèp li avèk dye li yo. Ale swiv bèlsè ou.”
16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, [or] to return from following thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people [shall be] my people, and thy God my God:
Men Ruth te di: “Pa pouse m kite ou ni pou m ta fè bak nan swiv ou. Paske kote ou ale mwen va ale, e kote ou viv, se la mwen va viv. Pèp ou, pèp pa m, e Dye pa ou, Dye pa m.
17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, [if aught] but death shall part thee and me.
Kote ou mouri mwen va mouri; epi la mwen va antere. Se konsa pou SENYÈ a fè m, ak pi mal, si anyen sof ke lanmò ta separe ou de mwen.”
18 When she saw that she was steadfastly resolved to go with her, then she left speaking to her.
Lè li wè ke li te fin pran desizyon pou ale avè l, li pa t di l anyen ankò.
19 So they two went until they came to Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when they had come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, [Is] this Naomi?
Konsa yo ale ansanm jis rive Bethléhem. Lè yo te rive Bethléhem, tout vil la te boulvèse akoz yo menm. Fanm yo te di: “Se Naomi sa a?”
20 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
Li te di yo: “Pa rele m Naomi. Rele m Mara, paske Toupwisan an te aji byen anmè avè m.
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?
Mwen te sòti plen, men SENYÈ a mennen m tounen vid. Poukisa nou rele m Naomi, konsi SENYÈ a gen tan temwaye kont mwen, e Toupwisan an te aflije mwen?”
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 Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley-harvest.
Konsa Naomi te retounen, epi avèk li, Ruth, Moabit la, bèlfi li ki te retounen soti nan peyi Moab la. Yo te vini Bethléhem nan kòmansman rekòlt lòj la.
