< 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.
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.
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.
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.
3 To, Elimelek mijin Na’omi ya rasu, aka bar ta da’ya’yanta maza biyu.
And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4 Suka auri mata Mowabawa, sunan ɗaya Orfa ɗayan kuma Rut. Bayan sun zauna a can kamar shekara goma,
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.
5 sai Malon da Kiliyon suka mutu su ma, aka kuma bar Na’omi babu’ya’yanta maza biyu da kuma mijinta.
And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left without her two sons and 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.
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.
7 Tare da surukanta biyu suka bar inda suka zauna suka kuma kama hanya da za tă komar da su zuwa ƙasar Yahuda.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
10 suka ce mata, “Za mu tafi tare da ke zuwa ga mutanenki.”
And they said to her, Surely we will return with thee to thy people.
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?
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?
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,
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;
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 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.
14 A kan wannan suka sāke ɓarke da kuka. Sa’an nan Orfa ta sumbaci surukarta ta yi bankwana, amma Rut ta manne mata.
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clung to her.
15 Sai Na’omi ta ce, “Duba,’yar’uwanki ta koma zuwa ga mutanenta da kuma allolinta. Ki koma tare da ita.”
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.
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.
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:
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 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.
18 Sa’ad da Na’omi ta gane cewa Rut ta ƙudura tă tafi tare da ita, sai ta daina nema tă koma.
When she saw that she was steadfastly resolved to go with her, then she finished speaking to her.
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 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?
20 Ta ce musu, “Kada ku kira ni Na’omi. Ku kira ni Mara gama Maɗaukaki ya sa raina ya yi ɗaci sosai.
And she said to them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
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 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?
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.
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.
