< 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.
A kwanakin da mahukunta suke mulki an yi yunwa a ƙasar, sai wani mutum daga Betlehem a Yahuda tare da matarsa da’ya’yansu maza biyu, suka tafi su yi zama na ɗan lokaci a ƙasar Mowab.
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.
Sunan mutumin, Elimelek ne, sunan matarsa Na’omi; sunayen’ya’yan nan nasu biyu, su ne Malon da Kiliyon. Su Efratawa ne daga Betlehem ta Yahuda. Suka kuwa tafi Mowab suka zauna a can.
3 Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left with her two sons.
To, Elimelek mijin Na’omi ya rasu, aka bar ta da’ya’yanta maza biyu.
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.
Suka auri mata Mowabawa, sunan ɗaya Orfa ɗayan kuma Rut. Bayan sun zauna a can kamar shekara goma,
5 Mahlon and Chilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
sai Malon da Kiliyon suka mutu su ma, aka kuma bar Na’omi babu’ya’yanta maza biyu da kuma mijinta.
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.
Sa’ad da ta ji a Mowab cewa Ubangiji ya zo don yă taimaki mutanensa ta wurin tanada musu da abinci, sai Na’omi tare da surukanta suka shirya su koma gida daga can.
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.
Tare da surukanta biyu suka bar inda suka zauna suka kuma kama hanya da za tă komar da su zuwa ƙasar Yahuda.
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.
Sai Na’omi ta ce wa surukanta biyu, “Ku koma, kowannenku, zuwa gidan mahaifiyarta. Bari Ubangiji yă nuna muku alheri yadda kuka nuna wa matattun nan da kuma gare ni.
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.
Bari Ubangiji yă sa kowannenku ta sami hutu a gidan wani miji.” Sa’an nan ta sumbace su suka kuma yi kuka da ƙarfi
10 They said to her, “No, but we will return with you to your people.”
suka ce mata, “Za mu tafi tare da ke zuwa ga mutanenki.”
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?
Amma Na’omi ta ce, “Ku koma gida,’ya’yana mata. Don me za ku tafi tare da ni? Zan ƙara samun waɗansu’ya’ya maza da za su zama mazanku ne?
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,
Ku koma gida’ya’yana mata; na tsufa ainun da zan sāke samun wani miji. Ko ma na yi tsammani har yanzu ina da bege, ko ma na sami miji a wannan dare na kuma haifi’ya’ya maza,
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.”
za ku jira sai sun yi girma? Za ku ci gaba da kasance babu aure saboda su? A’a,’ya’yana mata. Ina da baƙin ciki ƙwarai fiye da ku, domin hannun Ubangiji ya yi gāba da ni!”
14 They lifted up their voices and wept again; then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth stayed with her.
A kan wannan suka sāke ɓarke da kuka. Sa’an nan Orfa ta sumbaci surukarta ta yi bankwana, amma Rut ta manne mata.
15 She said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.”
Sai Na’omi ta ce, “Duba,’yar’uwanki ta koma zuwa ga mutanenta da kuma allolinta. Ki koma tare da ita.”
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.
Rut Amma Rut ta amsa, “Kada ki roƙe ni in bar ki ko in koma daga gare ki. Inda za ki, zan tafi, kuma inda za ki zauna, zan zauna. Mutanenki, za su zama mutanena kuma Allahnki, zai zama Allahna.
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.”
Inda za ki mutu zan mutu, zan mutu a can kuma za a binne ni. Bari Ubangiji ya hukunta ni da tsanani sosai, in wani abu in ba mutuwa ce ta raba ke da ni ba.”
18 When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.
Sa’ad da Na’omi ta gane cewa Rut ta ƙudura tă tafi tare da ita, sai ta daina nema tă koma.
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?”
Saboda haka matan biyu suka ci gaba da tafiya sai da suka isa Betlehem. Da suka isa Betlehem, sai dukan garin ya ruɗe saboda su, matan kuwa suka ce, “Na’omi ce wannan kuwa?”
20 She said to them, “Don’t call me Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
Ta ce musu, “Kada ku kira ni Na’omi. Ku kira ni Mara gama Maɗaukaki ya sa raina ya yi ɗaci sosai.
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?”
In tafi cikakke, amma Ubangiji ya dawo da ni ba kome. Don me kuke kirana Na’omi? Ubangiji ya wahalshe ni, Maɗaukaki ya kawo mini masifa.”
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.
Na’omi fa ta koma daga Mowab tare da Rut mutuniyar Mowab, surukarta, suka kai Betlehem a lokacin da ake fara girbin sha’ir.
