Rut 1
1 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.
There was a famine during the time when the judges ruled Israel, so a man left Bethlehem in Judah and went to live in exile in the country of Moab, along with his wife and two sons.
2 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.
His name was Elimelech, and his wife's name Naomi. His sons were called Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went to the country of Moab and lived there.
3 To, Elimelek mijin Na’omi ya rasu, aka bar ta da’ya’yanta maza biyu.
However, Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons.
4 Suka auri mata Mowabawa, sunan ɗaya Orfa ɗayan kuma Rut. Bayan sun zauna a can kamar shekara goma,
The sons married Moabite women. One was called Orpah, the other was called Ruth. After about ten years,
5 sai Malon da Kiliyon suka mutu su ma, aka kuma bar Na’omi babu’ya’yanta maza biyu da kuma mijinta.
both Mahlon and Chilion died. Naomi was left alone, without her two sons or her husband.
6 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.
So she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the country of Moab and return home because she had heard that the Lord had blessed his people there with food.
7 Tare da surukanta biyu suka bar inda suka zauna suka kuma kama hanya da za tă komar da su zuwa ƙasar Yahuda.
She left the place where she had been living and with her two daughters-in-law set out on the road back to the land of Judah.
8 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.
However, as they left, Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Each of you, go back to your mother's homes, and may the Lord be as kind to you as you have been to me, and to those who have died.
9 Bari Ubangiji yă sa kowannenku ta sami hutu a gidan wani miji.” Sa’an nan ta sumbace su suka kuma yi kuka da ƙarfi
May the Lord give you a good home with another husband.” She kissed them, and they all started to cry loudly.
10 suka ce mata, “Za mu tafi tare da ke zuwa ga mutanenki.”
“No! We want to go back with you to your people,” they replied.
11 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?
“Why do you want to go back with me?” Naomi asked. “I'm not able to have any more sons for you to marry.
12 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,
Go back home, my daughters, because I'm too old to marry again. Even if I were to sleep with a new husband tonight and had sons,
13 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!”
would you wait for them to grow up? Would you decide you weren't going to marry anyone else? No. The whole situation is more bitter for me than it is for you, for the Lord has turned against me!”
14 A kan wannan suka sāke ɓarke da kuka. Sa’an nan Orfa ta sumbaci surukarta ta yi bankwana, amma Rut ta manne mata.
They started crying loudly again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye. But Ruth held on tightly to Naomi.
15 Sai Na’omi ta ce, “Duba,’yar’uwanki ta koma zuwa ga mutanenta da kuma allolinta. Ki koma tare da ita.”
“Look, your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back home with her,” said Naomi.
16 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.
But Ruth replied, “Please don't keep on telling me to leave you and go back. Where you go, I will go. Where you live, I will live. Your people will be my people. Your God will be my God.
17 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.”
Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me harshly if I let anything but death separate us!”
18 Sa’ad da Na’omi ta gane cewa Rut ta ƙudura tă tafi tare da ita, sai ta daina nema tă koma.
When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped telling Ruth to go home.
19 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?”
So the two of them walked on until they reached Bethlehem. When they arrived there, the whole town got excited. “Is this Naomi?” the women asked.
20 Ta ce musu, “Kada ku kira ni Na’omi. Ku kira ni Mara gama Maɗaukaki ya sa raina ya yi ɗaci sosai.
She said to them, “Don't call me Naomi! Call me Mara, for the Almighty has treated me very bitterly.
21 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.”
I left here full, but the Lord has brought me home empty. Why call me Naomi when the Lord has condemned me, when the Almighty has brought disaster on me?”
22 Na’omi fa ta koma daga Mowab tare da Rut mutuniyar Mowab, surukarta, suka kai Betlehem a lokacin da ake fara girbin sha’ir.
This is the way that Naomi returned from Moab with Ruth, the Moabite, her daughter-in-law. They arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
