< Ruth 1 >

1 Napasamak kadagiti al-aldaw a nagturay dagiti uk-ukom nga adda iti nakaro a panagbisin iti rabaw ti daga. Ket napan ti maysa a lalaki taga-Bethlehem ti Judah idiay pagilian iti Moab a kaduana ti asawana ken ti dua a putotna a lallaki.
And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 Ti nagan ti lalaki ket Elimelec, ken ti nagan ti asawana ket Naomi. Ti nagan dagiti dua a putotna a lallaki ket Mahalon ken Kilion, a nagtaud iti puli ni Efrata iti Bethlehem idiay Judah. Simmangpetda iti pagilian ti Moab ket nagnaedda sadiay.
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 Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
3 Kalpasanna, natay ni Elimelec, nga asawa ni Naomi, ket nabati isuna a kaduana dagiti dua nga annakna a lallaki.
And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left, and her two sons.
4 Nangala dagitoy nga annakna a lallaki iti assawada manipud kadagiti babbai iti Moab; ti nagan iti maysa ket Orfa ken Ruth met ti nagan ti maysa. Nagnaedda sadiay iti agarup sangapulo a tawen.
And they took wives for them 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 Kalpasanna, agpada a natay da Mahalon ken Kilion, ket nabati ni Naomi nga awan ti asawana ken awan dagiti dua nga annak.
And Mahlon and Chilion died, both of them, and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.
6 Ket inkeddeng ni Naomi a pumanaw idiay Moab a kaduana dagiti manugangna a babbai ket agsublida idiay Judah. Nangngeganna iti rehion iti Moab a tinulungan ni Yahweh dagiti tattaona nga agkasapulan ken inikkanna ida iti taraon.
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 Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread.
7 Pinanawanna ngarud ti lugar a pinagnanaedanna a kaduana dagiti dua a manugangna a babbai, ket nagdaliasatda iti dalan nga agsubli iti daga ti Juda.
And she went forth out of 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 Kinuna ni Naomi kadagiti dua a manugangna a babai, “Mapankayo, tunggal maysa kadakayo agsublikayon iti pagtaengan dagiti innayo. Ipakita koma ni Yahweh ti kinapudnona kadakayo, kas iti panangipakitayo iti kinapudnoyo kadagiti natay ken kasta met kaniak.
And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother's house. Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
9 Ipalubos koma ti Apo iti tunggal maysa kadakayo a makasarak ti inana, iti balay iti sabali nga asawa.” Kalpasanna inagkanna ida, ket nagsangitda iti napigsa.
Jehovah 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 voices, and wept.
10 Kinunada kenkuana, “Saan! Sumurotkami kenka nga agsubli kadagiti tattaom.”
And they said to her, No, but we will return with thee to thy people.
11 Ngem kinuna ni Naomi, “Agsublikayo, annakko! Apay a sumurotkayo kaniak? Adda pay kadi aya ti annak a lallaki iti tianko a para kadakayo, tapno agbalinda nga assawayo?
And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters. Why will ye go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
12 Agsublikayo, annakko, mapankayon iti bukodyo a dalan; gapu ta baketak unayen tapno maaddaan pay iti asawa. Ta no kunak, maaddaanak koma iti asawa iti daytoy a rabii ket kalpasanna mangipasngayak iti annak a lallaki,
Turn again, 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,
13 urayenyo kadi ngarud agingga a dumakkelda? Aguraykayo kadi ket saankayo a mangasawa ita? Saan, annakko! Maladingitanak unay ti nakarkaro ngem iti panagladingityo, gapu ta maibusoren kaniak ti ima ni Yahweh.”
would ye therefore delay till they were grown? Would ye therefore stay from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah has gone forth against me.
14 Ket pinigsaan dagiti manugangna a babbai dagiti timekda ket nagsangitda manen. Inagkan ni Orfa ti katuganganna kas panagpakadana, ngem nagtalinaed ni Ruth kenkuana.
And they lifted up their voices, and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
15 Kinuna ni Naomi kenkuana, “Dumngegka, nagsublin ti abiratmo kadagiti tattaona ken kadagiti diosna. Makikuyogkan nga agsubli iti abiratmo.”
And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Return thou after thy sister-in-law.
16 Ngem kinuna ni Ruth, “Saannak a paadaywen kenka, ta no sadino ti papanam, mapanak met; sadinoman a pagnaedam, idiay met iti pagnaedak; agbalin a tattaok dagiti tattaom, ket agbalin met a Diosko ti Diosmo.
And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee, for where thou go, I will go, and where thou lodge, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
17 Sadino man a pakatayam, idiayto metten ti pakatayak, ket sadiayto ti pakaitanemak. Dusaennak koma ni Yahweh, ken uray nakarkaro pay, no adda ti aniaman a banag a mamagsina kadata malaksid iti patay.
Where thou die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts thee and me.
18 Idi nakita ni Naomi a natibker ti pangngeddeng ni Ruth a sumurot kenkuana, insardengnan ti makisinnupiat kenkuana.
And when she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
19 Nagdaliasat ngarud dagiti dua agingga a nakadanunda iti ili ti Bethlehem. Ket napasamak nga idi simmangpetda idiay Bethlehem, ti amin nga ili ket magagaran unay maipapan kadakuada. Kinuna dagiti babbai, “Daytoy kadi ni Naomi?”
So those two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they came to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and the women said, Is this Naomi?
20 Ngem kinunana kadakuada, “Saandak nga awagan iti Naomi. Awagandak a Napait, gapu ta pinarigatnak iti nakaro ti Mannakabalin-amin.
And she said to them, Call me not Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 Pimmanawak a napnoan, ngem pinagawidnak manen ni Yahweh nga awanan. Isu nga apay nga awagandak iti Naomi, makitkitak nga inlunodnak ni Yahweh, a pinarigatnak ti Mannakabalin-amin?”
I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty. Why do ye call me Naomi, seeing Jehovah has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?
22 Nagsubli ngarud ni Naomi ken ni Ruth a Moabita a manugangna, manipud iti pagilian ti Moab. Simmangpetda idiay Bethlehem idi mangrugi iti panagapit iti sebada.
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
