Ruth 1
1 In pacl ma mwet nununku tuh kol fin acn Israel, oasr sie sracl lulap sikyak. Ouinge, sie mwet Bethlehem in acn Judah, wi mutan kial ac wen luo natul, elos som nu Moab in tuh muta we kitin pacl.
It happened in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 Inen mukul sac pa Elimelech, mutan kial pa Naomi, ac inen wen luo natul ah pa Mahlon ac Chilion. Elos mwet Ephrath, ac elos muta in acn Bethlehem lun Judah. Na elos som nu Moab in tuh muta we. Ke elos muta we
The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Kilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
3 Elimelech el misa, ac Naomi ac wen luo natul ah mukena muta.
Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4 Tok, eltal payukyak sin mutan Moab luo — sie pa Orpah ac sie pa Ruth. Elos muta we apkuran in yac singoul,
And they took for themselves wives from the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years.
5 na Mahlon ac Chilion kewa misa pac, ac Naomi el mukelana muta. Wanginla mukul tumal ac wen luo natul ah.
Mahlon and Kilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
6 Kutu pacl tok, Naomi el lohngak lah LEUM GOD El kasru mwet in acn sel ke El akwoye fokin ima lalos ac sang mwe mongo nu selos. Na Naomi ac mutan luo talupal ah akola in som liki acn Moab,
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 the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
7 ac mutawauk in fahsr nu Judah.
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 Naomi el fahk nu sin mutan luo natul ah, “Wona komtal in folokla nu yurin nina kiomtal ah, ac lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan kulang nu sumtal oana ke komtal tuh kulang nu sik ac nu sin mukul tomomtal ma misa.
Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
9 Lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan kasrekomtal in ku in konauk luo mukul ah tomomtal komtal in muta wo yoro.” Na Naomi el wilkas ac ngok mutaltal. Tusruktu eltal mutawauk in tung
The LORD grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband." Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
10 ac fahk, “Mo! Kut ac wi kom na som nu yurin mwet lom an.”
They said to her, "No, but we will return with you to your people."
11 Na Naomi el fahk nu seltal, “Komtal enenu in folokot. Efu komtal ku lungse wiyu? Mea, komtal nunku mu nga ac ku in sifil oswela tulik mukul komtal in payuk nu se?
Naomi said, "Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
12 Folokot nu yen sumtal an mweyen nga matuoh ac nga tia ku in sifil payuk. Nga finne nunkauk mu nga in sifil payukyak ofong ac oswela kutu wen,
Go back, 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 mea, komtal ac soano na eltal in matula? Ya sripa se inge in pwanang komtal in tia payuk nu sin kutepacna mukul? Mo, acn nutik, komtal etu na lah tia ku in ouinge. LEUM GOD El ngetla likiyu, ac nga arulana pakomutomtal.”
would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of the LORD has gone out against me."
14 Ac eltal sifilpa mutawauk in tung. Na Orpah el ngokya mutun nina sac, ac folokla nu yen sel ah, a Ruth el sripsriplana nu sin nina sac ac tiana fahsr lukel.
They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her people, but Ruth clung to her.
15 Na Naomi el fahk nu sel, “Ruth, mutan se wiom ah pa folokla nu yurin mwet lal ac god lal. Fahla welul.”
She said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.
16 Tusruktu Ruth el fahk, “Nimet kom kafwe nga in som liki kom! Lela nga in wi kom na. Tuh yen kom som nu we, nga fah som pac nu we. Yen kom ac muta we, nga ac fah muta pac we. Mwet lom fah mwet luk, ac God lom fah God luk.
Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay; your people shall be my people, and your God my God;
17 Yen kom misa we, nga ac fah misa we, ac nga ac fah pukpuki pac we. Lela LEUM GOD Elan arulana ase mwe keok yohk nu fuk nga fin fahsr liki kom meet liki nga misa!”
where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me."
18 Ke Naomi el akilen lah Ruth el wotela na ku sel mu el ac welul ah, el tia sifilpa fahk kutena ma.
When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
19 Eltal fahsr nwe ke na eltal sun acn Bethlehem. Ke eltal sun acn we, mwet in acn sac elos arulana lut, ac kutu sin mutan in acn sac fahk ouinge, “Ku pwayena lah Naomi pa inge?”
So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. It happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they asked, "Is this Naomi?"
20 Na Naomi el fahk nu selos, “Kowos in tia sifil pangonyu Naomi, a kowos in pangonyu Marah mweyen LEUM GOD El ase sie moul na asor nu sik.
She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Marah; for Shaddai has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 Ke nga tuh som liki acn yenu ah, pukanten ma luk, tuh pa LEUM GOD El folokinyume pisinpo. Mwe mea kowos in pangonyu Naomi ke LEUM GOD Kulana El akkeokyeyu ac supwama mwe ongoiya nu fuk?”
I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and Shaddai has afflicted me?"
22 Ouinge Naomi el foloko liki acn Moab, ac Ruth, mutan Moab se talupal welul. Ke eltal sun acn Bethlehem, tufahna mutawauk pacl in kosrani barley in acn we.
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 at the beginning of barley harvest.
