< 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.
It happened in the days when the judges ruled that there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem of Judah went to the country of Moab with his wife and his 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.
The name of the man was Elimelek, and the name of his wife was Naomi. The names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion, who were Ephrathites of Bethlehem of Judah. They arrived at 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.
Then Elimelek, 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.
These sons took wives from the women of Moab; the name of one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth. They lived there for 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!
Then both Mahlon and Kilion died, leaving Naomi without her husband and without her two children.
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.
Then Naomi decided to leave Moab with her daughters-in-law and return to Judah because she had heard in the region of Moab that Yahweh had helped his people in need and had given them food.
7 Nenofero a'trene, agrane (Naomi) nemaniza mopa atre'za vu'za Judama nevaza kante uhanati'naze.
So she left the place where she had been with her two daughters-in-law, and they walked down the road to return 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.
Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return, each of you, to your mother's house. May Yahweh show kindness toward you, as you have shown kindness toward the dead and toward me.
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 grant you that you find rest, each of you in the house of another husband.” Then she kissed them, and they raised their voices and cried.
10 Hianagi zanagra anage hu'na'e. O'e, tagra kagri vahetega kagrane vugahu'e, huke asmi'na'e.
They said to her, “No! We will return with you to your people.”
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.
But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters! Why will you go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb for you, so that they may become your husbands?
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,
Turn back, my daughters, go your own way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said, 'I hope I get a husband tonight,' and then give birth to 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 therefore wait until they were grown? Would you choose not to marry a husband? No, my daughters! It is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of Yahweh has gone out 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.
Then her daughters-in-law lifted up their voices and cried again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law farewell, but Ruth held on to her.
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.
Naomi said, “Listen, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. Go back with your sister-in-law.”
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 said, “Do not make me go away from you, for where you go, I will go; where you stay, I will stay; your people will be my people, and 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 Yahweh punish me, and even more, if anything but death ever separates 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 arguing with her.
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 traveled until they came to the town of Bethlehem. It happened that when they arrived in Bethlehem, the entire town was very excited about them. The women said, “Is this Naomi?”
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.
But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi. Call me Bitter, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
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 went out full, but Yahweh has brought me home again empty. So why do you call me Naomi, seeing Yahweh has condemned me, that the Almighty has afflicted 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.
So Naomi and Ruth the Moabite woman, her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
