< 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 comes to pass, in [the] days [when] the ones judging judge, that there is a famine in the land, and there goes a man from Beth-Lehem-Judah to sojourn in the fields 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 [is] Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephraimites from Beth-Lehem-Judah; and they come into the fields of Moab, and are there.
3 Kalpasanna, natay ni Elimelec, nga asawa ni Naomi, ket nabati isuna a kaduana dagiti dua nga annakna a lallaki.
And Elimelech husband of Naomi dies, and she is left, she 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 take to them wives, Moabitesses: the name of the first [is] Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth; and they dwell 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 they die also, both of them—Mahlon and Chilion—and the woman is 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.
And she rises, she and her daughters-in-law, and turns back from the fields of Moab, for she has heard in the fields of Moab that God has looked after His people—to give to 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 goes out from the place where she has been, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they go in 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 says to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return, each to the house of her mother; YHWH does with you kindness as you have done 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.
YHWH grants to you, and you find rest each in the house of her husband”; and she kisses them, and they lift up their voice and weep.
10 Kinunada kenkuana, “Saan! Sumurotkami kenka nga agsubli kadagiti tattaom.”
And they say to her, “Surely with you we go back 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?
And Naomi says, “Turn back, my daughters; why do you go with me? Are there yet to me sons in my bowels that they have been to you for 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 back, my daughters, go, for I am too aged to be to a husband; though I had said, There is for me hope, also, I have been tonight to a husband, and also I have borne 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.”
do you wait for them until they grow up? Do you shut yourselves up for them, not to be to a husband? No, my daughters, for more bitter to me than to you, for the hand of YHWH has gone out 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 lift up their voice, and weep again, and Orpah kisses her mother-in-law, and Ruth has cleaved to her.
15 Kinuna ni Naomi kenkuana, “Dumngegka, nagsublin ti abiratmo kadagiti tattaona ken kadagiti diosna. Makikuyogkan nga agsubli iti abiratmo.”
And she says, “Behold, your sister-in-law has turned back to her people, and to her god, turn back after your 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 says, “Do not urge me to leave you—to turn back from after you; for to where you go I go, and where you lodge I lodge; your people [is] my people, and your 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 you die I die, and there I am buried; thus does YHWH to me, and thus He adds—for death itself parts between me and you.”
18 Idi nakita ni Naomi a natibker ti pangngeddeng ni Ruth a sumurot kenkuana, insardengnan ti makisinnupiat kenkuana.
And she sees that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceases to speak 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?”
and the two of them go until their coming to Beth-Lehem; and it comes to pass at their coming to Beth-Lehem, that all the city is moved at them, and they say, “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 says to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly to 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 YHWH has brought me back empty, why do you call me Naomi, and YHWH has testified against me, and the Almighty has done evil to 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.
And Naomi turns back, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who has turned back from the fields of Moab, and they have come to Beth-Lehem at the commencement of barley-harvest.
