Ruta 1
1 A IA i ka wa i noho ai na lunakanawai i alii wi iho la ka aina, a hele aku la kekahi kanaka no Betelehemaiuda, e noho ma ka aina i Moaba, oia a me kana wahine, a me kana mau keikikane elua.
And it came to pass when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land: and a man went from Bethleem Juda to sojourn in the land of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 O Elimeleka ka inoa o ua kanaka la, a o Naomi ka inoa o kana wahine, o Mahelona ma laua o Kiliona, na inoa o kana mau keikikane; no Eperata lakou, no Betelehemaiuda, A hele aku lakou i ka aina i Moaba, a noho iho la malaila.
And the man's name [was] Elimelech, and his wife's name Noemin, and the names of his two sons Maalon and Chelaion, Ephrathites of Bethleem of Juda: and they came to the land of Moab, and remained there.
3 Make iho la o Elimeleka, ke kane a Naomi; a koe ka wahine, a me kana mau keikikane elua.
And Elimelech the husband of Noemin died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4 A lawe laua i wahine na laua, no na kaikamahine o Moaba. O Orepa ka inoa o kekahi, a o Ruta ka inoa o ka lua. Noho no lakou ilaila, he umi paha makahiki.
And they took to themselves wives, women of Moab; the name of the one [was] Orpha, and the name of the second Ruth; and they lived there about ten years.
5 A make iho la o Mahelona ma laua o Kiliona; a haaleleia ua wahine la e kana mau keiki elua, a me kana kane.
And both Maalon and Chelaion died also; and the woman was left of her husband and her two sons.
6 Alaila ku mai la oia a me kana mau hunonawahine, a hoi mai la, mai ka aina o Moaba mai; no ka mea, ua lohe oia ma ka aina o Moaba, i ko Iehova ike ana mai i kona poe kanaka, me ka haawi ana mai ia lakou i ka berena.
And she rose up and her two daughters-in-law, and they returned out of the country of Moab, for she heard in the country of Moab that the Lord [had] visited his people to give them bread.
7 Hele aku la oia iwaho o kahi ana i noho ai, me kana mau hunonawahine elua; a hele mai la lakou ma ke ala, e hoi ai i ka aina i Iuda.
And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her: and they went by the way to return to the land of Juda.
8 Olelo aku la Naomi i kana mau hunonawahine elua, O haele, a hoi kela mea keia mea o olua i ka hale o kona makuwahine; a na Iehova no e lokomaikai mai ia olua, e like me ka olua i hana mai ai i na mea i make, a ia'u no hoi.
And Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Go now, return each to the house of her mother: the Lord deal mercifully with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
9 Na Iehova no e haawi mai ia olua i ka hoomaha, o kela mea keia mea o olua ma ka hale o kana kane iho. Alaila, honi aku la oia ia laua, a hookiekie lakou i ko lakou leo, a uwe ae la.
The Lord grant you that you may find rest each of you in the house of her husband: and she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
10 I mai la laua ia ia, He oiaio no, hele pu maua me oe, i kou hoi ana i kou poe kanaka.
And they said to her, We will return with you to your people.
11 Olelo hou mai la o Naomi, E na kaikamahine a'u, o hoi. No ke aha la olua e hele pu ai me au? He mau keiki hou anei iloko o ko'u opu, i mau kane na olua?
And Noemin said, Return now, my daughters; and why do you go with me? have I yet sons in my womb to be your husbands?
12 E hoi olua, e na kaikamahine a'u, o hele, no ka mea, ua luwahine au, aole e loaa ke kane hou. A ina paha e olelo au, ua laua ko'u manao, a, ina he kane ka'u i keia po, a hanau na keikikane;
Turn now, my daughters, for I am too old to be married: for I said, Suppose I were married, and should bear sons;
13 E kakali anei olua ia laua, a nui laua? No laua anei olua e noho kane ole ai? Uoki, e na kaikamahine a'u; no ka mea, ua nui loa ko'u ehaeha no olua, i ke kau ana o ko Iehova lima maluna o'u.
would you wait for them till they should be grown? or would you refrain from being married for their sakes? Not so, my daughters; for I am grieved for you, that the hand of the Lord has gone forth against me.
14 Hookiekie hou aku la lakou i ko lakou leo, a uwe aku la. Honi mai la o Orepa i kona makuahonowaiwahine; aka, pili mai la o Ruta ia ia.
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again; and Orpha kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her people; but Ruth followed her.
15 I aku la keia, Aia hoi, na hoi aku kou hoahanau, i kona poe kanaka, a i kona poe akua. E hoi aku oe mamuli o kou punalua.
And Noemin said to Ruth, Behold, your sister-in-law has returned to her people and to her gods; turn now you also after your sister-in-law.
16 Olelo mai la o Ruta ia ia, Mai nonoi mai oe ia'u, e haalele ia oe, a e hoi aku, mai ka hahai ana ia oe; no ka mea, ma kou wahi e hele ai, malaila au e hele ai, ma kou wahi e moe ai, malaila au e moe ai: o kou poe kanaka, no'u ia poe kanaka, o kou Akua, no'u ia Akua:
And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave you, or to return from following you; for wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people [shall be] my people, and your God my God.
17 Ma kou wahi e make ai, malaila au e make ai, malaila hoi au e kanuia'i: o ka make oia wale no ko kaua mea e kaawale ai; ina aole, me ia hoi e hana mai ai o Iehova ia'u.
And wherever you die, I will die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, [if I leave you], for death [only] shall divide between me and you.
18 A ike mai ia, ua ikaika loa ko Ruta manao e hele pu me ia, alaila, oki iho hi kana olelo ana ia ia.
And Noemin seeing that she was determined to go with her, ceased to speak to her any more.
19 Hele pu no laua, a hiki aku la i Betelehema. A komo aku la laua iloko o Betelehema, pioloke iho la ke kulanakauhale a pau no laua; i ae la lakou, O Naomi anei keia?
And they went both of them until they came to Bethleem: and it came to pass, when they arrived at Bethleem, that all the city rang with them, and they said, Is this Noemin?
20 I aku lu oia ia lakou, Mai kapa mai oukou ia'u o Naomi, e kapa mai oukou ia'u o Mara; no ka mea, ua hookaumaha loa mai ka Mea mana ia'u.
And she said to them, Nay, do not call me Noemin; call me 'Bitter,' for the Mighty One has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 Ua hele lako aku au iwaho, hoihoi nele mai o Iehova ia'u. No ke aha la oukou e kapa mai ai ia'u o Naomi? No ka mea, ua hoohaahaa mai o Iehova ia'u, a ua hookaumaha mai o ka Mea mana ia'u.
I went out full, and the Lord has brought me back empty: and why call you me Noemin, whereas the Lord has humbled me and the Mighty One has afflicted me?
22 Pela i hoi mai ai o Naomi, a me kana hunonawahine pu me ia, o Ruta, no Moaba, a hele mai no ka aina o Moaba mai; a hiki mai laua i Betelehema i ka manawa o ka hoiliili mua ana i ka hua bale.
So Noemin and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab; and they came to Bethleem in the beginning of barley harvest.
