Rut 1
1 Korapa'ma keaga refakohu vahe'mo'za (jasi) mopa kva hu'naza knafi, tusi'a zamagate'za Juda mopare fore higeno, mago nera Betlehemu, Juda mopareti ne'mo, osi'agna Moapu umaniku nenarone, tare ne'ane zamavareno vu'ne.
There was a famine during the time when the judges ruled Israel, so a man left Bethlehem in Judah and went to live in exile in the country of Moab, along with his wife and two sons.
2 Ana ne'mofo agi'a, Elimeleki'e, nenaro agi'a Naomi'e, hagi tare ne'amokizni znagi'a, Maloni'ene, Kilionike. Efrata naga nofipintira Betlehemu Juda mopafinti Moab mopare e'za emani'naze.
His name was Elimelech, and his wife's name Naomi. His sons were called Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went to the country of Moab and lived there.
3 Ana mopare mani'nageno, Naomi neve, Elimeleki'a frigeno, Naomi'a tare ne'mofavre'ane zamagraku mani'naze.
However, Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons.
4 Higeno tare ne'amokea Moapu mopareti mofatre ara eri'na'e. Mago'mofo agi'a, Opa'e, hanki mago'mofo agi'a Ruti'e. Ana nehu'za 10i'a Zagegafu naza anantega mani'naze.
The sons married Moabite women. One was called Orpah, the other was called Ruth. After about ten years,
5 Anante mani'nageno Naomina, tare mofavre'a Maloni'ene, Kilionikea anazanke hu'ne fri'na'e. Ana hzageno, Naomina, tare mofavre'ane, neve'ene, fri'zageno, zavi neteno agraku mani'ne!
both Mahlon and Chilion died. Naomi was left alone, without her two sons or her husband.
6 Moapuma mani'neno antahiama Ramo'a asomu huntegeno, agri'a vahepina ne'zamo'a avitema higeno'a, Naomi'a mopa'are vunaku retro nehigeno, nenoferokea, agrane vunaku tro hu'na'e.
So she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the country of Moab and return home because she had heard that the Lord had blessed his people there with food.
7 Nenofero a'trene, agrane (Naomi) nemaniza mopa atre'za vu'za Judama nevaza kante uhanati'naze.
She left the place where she had been living and with her two daughters-in-law set out on the road back to the land of Judah.
8 Anante Naomi'a tarega nenoferokiznigu anage hu'ne, Taregamotna'a kama antahi'o, antatani'amofo nontega vi'o. Fri'naza nagate'ene, nagrite'enema tanagrama ha'a avu'ava zantera, Anumzamo'a tanagrira ana huno knare avu'ava huranantesie.
However, as they left, Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Each of you, go back to your mother's homes, and may the Lord be as kind to you as you have been to me, and to those who have died.
9 Kasefa ve eritna nonkuma huta manisapina Anumzamo'a knare'za huno kegava huranantegahie huno neznasmino, zanagi antako nehige'za krafa hu'za zavi ate'naze.
May the Lord give you a good home with another husband.” She kissed them, and they all started to cry loudly.
10 Hianagi zanagra anage hu'na'e. O'e, tagra kagri vahetega kagrane vugahu'e, huke asmi'na'e.
“No! We want to go back with you to your people,” they replied.
11 Hu'neanagi, Naomi'a kenonazni'a anage hu'ne, Kuma tani'arega etetna vi'o, mofa'nimotna'a, Judama nagranema vana'a zamofona knare kegafa omane'ne. Nagra knare osu'noanki'na, mofavrea kasentesnugeno, ana mofavremo'a nernave zana osugahie.
“Why do you want to go back with me?” Naomi asked. “I'm not able to have any more sons for you to marry.
12 Kuma taniarega etetna vi'o, mofa'nimotna'a! Nagra ko tavava te'noanki'na ete'na aravea osugahue. Hagi nagrama meni kenage'ma ve eri'na mofavre zaga kasezamantegahue huasina,
Go back home, my daughters, because I'm too old to marry again. Even if I were to sleep with a new husband tonight and had sons,
13 tanagra knare zanavega ante'nesanke'ne, arave huga kantera ra hate'sino? Tanagra knare vea e'oritna ana kna'afina amnea mani'tesino? O'e, mofa'trenimotna'e, nagranena ovu tfaza hugaha'e. Na'ankure tanagrama eri'a knazana agtere'na nagra eri'noe, Ramo'a nagrira nazeri haviza hu'ne.
would you wait for them to grow up? Would you decide you weren't going to marry anyone else? No. The whole situation is more bitter for me than it is for you, for the Lord has turned against me!”
14 Tusi krafa hu'za mago'ene zavira ate'naze. Anante Opa'a nenoferona azerino antako nehuno ete vu'ne. Hianagi ana huo huno huma nenteana, Ruti'a tusi'za huno Naomina agzafeno anuki hampo'na hu'ne.
They started crying loudly again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye. But Ruth held on tightly to Naomi.
15 Naomi'a anage hu'ne, Ko, neganunkna'a, vahe'ane, anumzama'a nehirega eteno nevie. Neganunkna amage antenka kumaka'arega vuo, huno asmi'ne.
“Look, your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back home with her,” said Naomi.
16 Hianagi Ruti'a ke'arera amanage hu'ne, Natrenka vuo hunka kagra tutura huonanto. Na'ankure, kagrama inantega vusanana, anantega nagra vugahue. Inante manisanana, nagra anante umanigahu'e. Kagri vahe'mo'za, nagri vahe manigahaze. Kagri Anumzamo'a, nagri Anumza segahie.
But Ruth replied, “Please don't keep on telling me to leave you and go back. Where you go, I will go. Where you live, I will live. Your people will be my people. Your God will be my God.
17 Inante'ma kagrama fri snantera, anante nagra frisnuge'za ase nantegahaze. Anumzamo'a nagrira tusi'a kna namigahie, nagrama nehua kema amage'ma osnugeno'a, magoke'zana fri'zamoke tazeri pasegahie.
Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me harshly if I let anything but death separate us!”
18 Naomi'ma kegeno Ruti'ma hampo'natino agrane vugahue'ma higeno'a, tutu'ma huno'ma huma nenteretira anante atre'ne.
When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped telling Ruth to go home.
19 Higeke ana tarega'moke vuvava hu'ne Betlehem uhanatina'e. Betlehemi ufrake'za, ana kumapi miko vahe'mo'za uma hnatina'a zankura tusi muse hu'naze. Ana nehu'za kumate a'ne zagamo'za anage hu'naze, Ama ara Naomio?
So the two of them walked on until they reached Bethlehem. When they arrived there, the whole town got excited. “Is this Naomi?” the women asked.
20 Hianagi, Naomi'a ke nonazmi huno, Naomi'e (knaremo'e) hutma nagia ohetma, Mara'e (aka he'ne) huta nagia aheho, na'ankure Miko'zante Kva Hu'nea Hanave Anumzamo (Sovren) knare'zana huonante'ne.
She said to them, “Don't call me Naomi! Call me Mara, for the Almighty has treated me very bitterly.
21 Amareti'ma atre'na vu'noana maka'zampina avite'na vu'noe, hianagi Ramo'a nazampi omane kno eteno navareno e'ne. Na'a higetma Naomi'e huta nagia nehaze, negazo Ramo'ma nagri'ma ha'ma renenanteno, Miko'zante Kva Hu'nea Hanave Anumzamo (Sovren) nagri'ma nasuzane, natazama nenamiana?
I left here full, but the Lord has brought me home empty. Why call me Naomi when the Lord has condemned me, when the Almighty has brought disaster on me?”
22 E'ina higeno, Naomi'a nenofero Moabuti a' Ruti'e. Moabuti'ma Betlehemima ehanati na'ana, bali hoza agafa hu'za traga nehaza knafi e'na'e.
This is the way that Naomi returned from Moab with Ruth, the Moabite, her daughter-in-law. They arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
