Ruth 1
1 In the days when the judges judged, there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to live in the country of Moab with his wife and his two sons.
Bara abbootiin murtii bulchaa turanitti beelli biyyatti buʼe; namichi Beetlihem Yihuudaa keessa jiraatu tokko niitii isaatii fi ilmaan isaa lamaan fudhatee biyya Moʼaab jiraachuu dhaqe.
2 The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi. The names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab and lived there.
Maqaan namichaa Eliimelek, maqaan niitii isaa Naaʼomiin, maqaan ilmaan isaa lamaanii immoo Mahiloonii fi Kiliiyoon jedhama ture. Isaanis namoota Efraataa kan biyya Yihuudaa Beetlihem keessa jiraatan turan. Jarris biyya Moʼaab dhaqanii achi jiraatan.
3 Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left with her two sons.
Eliimelek dhirsi Naaʼomiin ni duʼe; isheenis ilmaan ishee lamaan wajjin hafte.
4 They took for themselves wives of the women of Moab. The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth. They lived there about ten years.
Isaanis dubartoota Moʼaab fuudhan; isheen tokko Orphaa kaan immoo Ruut jedhamti. Erga isaan waggaa kudhan achi jiraatanii booddee,
5 Mahlon and Chilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
Mahiloonii fi Kiliiyoon ni duʼan. Naaʼomiinis ilmaan ishee lamaanii fi dhirsa ishee dhabdee kophaa hafte.
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 the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
Isheenis utuu Moʼaab jirtuu akka Waaqayyo saba isaa yaadatee nyaata kenneef dhageesse; Naaʼomiinii fi Niitonni ilmaan ishees gara biyya isheetti deebiʼuuf qophaaʼan.
7 She went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her. They went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
Isheenis iddoo jiraachaa turtee kaatee niitota ilmaan ishee wajjin gara biyya Yihuudaatti deebiʼuuf karaa qabatte.
8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
Ergasiis Naaʼomiin niitota ilmaan ishee lamaaniin akkana jette; “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan gara mana haadhota keessaniitti deebiʼaa. Akkuma dhirsoota keessan kanneen duʼanii fi anaafis arjoomtan sana Waaqayyo isiniif haa arjoomu.
9 May the LORD grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband.” Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices, and wept.
Waaqayyo tokkoo tokkoo keessaniifis mana dhirsa itti heerumtaniitti boqonnaa isinii haa kennu.” Isheenis ergasii isaan dhungate; isaanis sagalee ol fudhatanii booʼanii
10 They said to her, “No, but we will return with you to your people.”
“Waawuu, nu si wajjin gara saba keetiitti deebina” jedhaniin.
11 Naomi said, “Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Naaʼomiin garuu akkana jette; “Yaa intallan ko, gara mana keessaniitti deebiʼaa. Maaliif na wajjin deemtu? Ani siʼachi ilmaan dhirsa isiniif taʼuu dandaʼan daʼaa?
12 Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, ‘I have hope,’ if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons,
Yaa intallan koo gara mana keessaniitti deebiʼaa; ani dhirsa biraatti heerumuudhaaf dulloomeera. Yoo ani abdii qaba jedhee halkanuma kana heerumee ilmaan daʼe illee,
13 would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me seriously for your sakes, for the LORD’s hand has gone out against me.”
isin hamma isaan guddatanitti ni eeggattuu? Isaan eeggachuuf jettanii utuu hin heerumin haftuu ree? Lakkii yaa intallan koo. Kun isin caalaa natti ulfaata; harki Waaqayyoo natti garagaleeraatii!”
14 They lifted up their voices and wept again; then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth stayed with her.
Isaan amma illee sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii booʼan. Kana irratti Orphaan haadha dhirsa ishee dhungattee nagaatti jetteen; Ruut garuu isheetti marmite.
15 She said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.”
Naaʼomiinis, “Kunoo, waarsaan kee gara saba isheetii fi waaqota isheetti deebiʼaa jirti. Atis ishee wajjin deebiʼi” jetteen.
16 Ruth said, “Don’t urge me to leave you, and to return from following you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.
Ruut garuu akkana jettee deebifte; “Akka ani si dhiisu yookaan si biraa deebiʼu na hin dirqisiisin. Iddoo ati deemtu nan deema; iddoo ati jiraattus nan jiraadha. Sabni kee saba koo ni taʼa; Waaqni kees Waaqa koo ni taʼa.
17 Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.”
Iddoo ati itti duututti anis nan duʼa; achittis nan awwaalama. Siʼachi yoo duuti gargari nu baase malee yoo ani si dhiisee deeme Waaqayyo na haa adabu; adabbiin sunis akka malee haa cimu.”
18 When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.
Naaʼomiinis yeroo akka Ruut ishee wajjin deemuuf murteessite hubattetti ishee dirqisiisuu dhiifte.
19 So they both went until they came to Bethlehem. When they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was excited about them, and they asked, “Is this Naomi?”
Kanaafuu dubartoonni lachuu hamma Beetlihemitti deeman. Yommuu isaan Beetlihem gaʼanittis sababii isaaniitiif guutummaan magaalattii raafamte; dubartoonnis, “Isheen kun Naaʼomiinii?” jedhan.
20 She said to them, “Don’t call me Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
Isheenis akkana isaaniin jette; “Naaʼomiin jettanii na hin waaminaa! Sababii Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu jireenya koo hadheesseef Maaraa jedhaatii na waamaa.
21 I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”
Ani harka guutuudhaan baʼe; Waaqayyo garuu harka duwwaa na deebise. Isin maaliif Naaʼomiin naan jettu? Waaqayyo na dhiphiseera; Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu rakkina natti fideeraatii.”
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
Kanaafuu Naaʼomiin, niitii ilma ishee Ruut Moʼaabittii wajjin yeroo garbuun haamamuu jalqabutti Moʼaabii gara Beetlihemitti deebite.
