< 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.
In the days of one of the judges, when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a man from Bethlehem in Judah departed to sojourn in the region of the Moabites with his wife and two children.
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.
He called himself Elimelech, and his wife Naomi, and his two sons, the one Mahlon, and the other Chilion, Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. And entering into the region of the Moabites, they stayed there.
3 Kalpasanna, natay ni Elimelec, nga asawa ni Naomi, ket nabati isuna a kaduana dagiti dua nga annakna a lallaki.
And Elimelech the husband of Naomi died; and she remained with her 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.
They took wives from among the Moabites, of whom one was called Orpah, and the other Ruth. And they lived there 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 they both died, namely Mahlon and Chilion, and the woman was left alone, bereaved of her two children and 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.
And she arose so that she might journey to her native land, with both her daughters-in-law, from the region of the Moabites. For she had heard that the Lord had provided for his people and had given them food.
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 so she departed from the place of her sojourn, with both her daughters-in-law, and having set out upon the way, she was about 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.
She said to them, “Go to the home of your mother. May the Lord deal mercifully with you, just as you 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.
May he grant you to find rest in the houses of the husbands, whom you will obtain by lot.” And she kissed them. They lifted up their voice, and began to weep,
10 Kinunada kenkuana, “Saan! Sumurotkami kenka nga agsubli kadagiti tattaom.”
and to say, “We will journey with you to your 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?
But she answered them, “Return, my daughters. Why come with me? Do I have any more sons in my womb, so that you could hope for husbands from me?
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,
Return, my daughters, go forth. For I am now exhausted by old age, and not fit for the bond of marriage. Even if I were to conceive on this night, and 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.”
if you were willing to wait until they were grown and had completed the years of adolescence, you would be elderly before you could marry. Do not do so, I beg you, my daughters. For your difficulties weigh upon me greatly, and the hand of the Lord has been set 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.
In response, they lifted up their voice and began to weep again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, and then turned back. Ruth clung to her mother-in-law.
15 Kinuna ni Naomi kenkuana, “Dumngegka, nagsublin ti abiratmo kadagiti tattaona ken kadagiti diosna. Makikuyogkan nga agsubli iti abiratmo.”
Naomi said to her, “See, your kinswoman returns to her people, and to her gods. Hurry after her.”
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.
She answered, “Do not be against me, as if I would abandon you and go away; for wherever you will go, I will go, and where you will stay, I also will stay with you. Your people are my people, and your God is 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.
Whichever land will receive you dying, in the same I will die, and there I will have the place of my burial. May God cause these things to happen to me, and add more also, if anything except death alone should separate you and I.”
18 Idi nakita ni Naomi a natibker ti pangngeddeng ni Ruth a sumurot kenkuana, insardengnan ti makisinnupiat kenkuana.
Therefore, Naomi saw that Ruth, being firmly resolved in her soul, was determined to go with her, and that she was unwilling to be dissuaded, and that nothing further could convince her to return to her own.
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?”
And so they set out together, and they came to Bethlehem. When they had entered the city, the news quickly spread among them all. And the women said, “This is that Naomi.”
20 Ngem kinunana kadakuada, “Saandak nga awagan iti Naomi. Awagandak a Napait, gapu ta pinarigatnak iti nakaro ti Mannakabalin-amin.
But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi (that is, beautiful), but call me Mara (that is, bitter). For the Almighty has greatly filled me with bitterness.
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 the Lord led me back empty. So then, why call me Naomi, whom the Lord has humbled and the Almighty has afflicted?”
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.
Therefore, Naomi went with Ruth, the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, from the land of her sojourn, and returned to Bethlehem, at the time of the first reaping of the barley.
