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.
And it came to pass when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land: and a man went from Bethleem Juda to sojourn in the land 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
And the man's name [was] Elimelech, and his wife's name Noemin, and the names of his two sons Maalon and Chelaion, Ephrathites of Bethleem of Juda: and they came to the land of Moab, and remained there.
3 Elimelech el misa, ac Naomi ac wen luo natul ah mukena muta.
And Elimelech the husband of Noemin 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 to themselves wives, women of Moab; the name of the one [was] Orpha, and the name of the second 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.
And both Maalon and Chelaion died also; and the woman was left of her husband and her two sons.
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,
And she rose up and her two daughters-in-law, and they returned out of the country of Moab, for she heard in the country of Moab that the Lord [had] visited his people to give them bread.
7 ac mutawauk in fahsr nu Judah.
And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her: and they went by the way to return to the land of Juda.
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.
And Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Go now, return each to the house of her mother: the Lord deal mercifully 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: and 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.”
And they said to her, 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?
And Noemin said, Return now, my daughters; and why do you go with me? have I yet sons in my womb to 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,
Turn now, my daughters, for I am too old to be married: for I said, Suppose I were married, and should 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 wait for them till they should be grown? or would you refrain from being married for their sakes? Not so, my daughters; for I am grieved for you, that the hand of the Lord has gone forth 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.
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again; and Orpha kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her people; but Ruth followed her.
15 Na Naomi el fahk nu sel, “Ruth, mutan se wiom ah pa folokla nu yurin mwet lal ac god lal. Fahla welul.”
And Noemin said to Ruth, Behold, your sister-in-law has returned to her people and to her gods; turn now you also after 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.
And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave you, or to return from following you; for wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; 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!”
And wherever you die, I will die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, [if I leave you], for death [only] shall divide between me and you.
18 Ke Naomi el akilen lah Ruth el wotela na ku sel mu el ac welul ah, el tia sifilpa fahk kutena ma.
And Noemin seeing that she was determined to go with her, ceased to speak to her any more.
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?”
And they went both of them until they came to Bethleem: and it came to pass, when they arrived at Bethleem, that all the city rang with them, and they said, Is this Noemin?
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.
And she said to them, Nay, do not call me Noemin; call me 'Bitter,' for the Mighty One 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 back empty: and why call you me Noemin, whereas the Lord has humbled me and the Mighty One 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 Noemin and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab; and they came to Bethleem in the beginning of barley harvest.
