Rutes 1
1 Tanīs dienās, kad soģi valdīja, bija bads zemē. Un viens vīrs no Jūda Bētlemes nogāja piemist Moaba klajumos ar savu sievu un saviem diviem dēliem.
In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man from Bethlehem in Judah, with his wife and two sons, went to reside in the land of Moab.
2 Un tā vīra vārds bija Elimeleks un viņa sievas vārds Naēmja un viņa abu dēlu vārdi Mālons un Ķiljons, Efratieši no Jūda Bētlemes, un tie nāca Moaba klajumos un tur palika.
The man’s name was Elimelech, his wife’s name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah, and they entered the land of Moab and settled there.
3 Un Elimeleks, Naēmjas vīrs, nomira, un viņa palika viena ar saviem diviem dēliem; tie sev ņēma Moabiešu sievas, - tās pirmās vārds bija Arpa un tās otras vārds Rute.
Then Naomi’s husband Elimelech died, and she was left with her two sons,
4 Un tie tur palika kādus desmit gadus.
who took Moabite women as their wives, one named Orpah and the other named Ruth. And after they had lived in Moab about ten years,
5 Tad arī šie abi, Mālons un Ķiljons, nomira, un tā sieva palika viena pēc saviem diviem dēliem un pēc sava vīra.
both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and without her husband.
6 Un viņa cēlās ar savām vedeklām un griezās atpakaļ no Moaba klajumiem; jo tā bija dzirdējusi Moaba zemē, ka Tas Kungs savus ļaudis piemeklējis un viņiem maizi devis.
When Naomi heard in Moab that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the land of Moab.
7 Tāpēc viņa aizgāja no tās vietas, kur tā bija bijusi, un viņas abas vedeklas ar viņu. Un kad viņa pa ceļu gāja, pāriet uz Jūda zemi,
Accompanied by her two daughters-in-law, she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road leading back to the land of Judah.
8 Tad Naēmja sacīja uz savām abām vedeklām: ejat, griežaties atpakaļ ikviena uz savas mātes namu; lai Tas Kungs žēlastību pie jums dara, itin kā jūs esat darījuši pie tiem aizgājušiem un pie manis.
Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back, each of you to your mother’s home. May the LORD show you loving devotion, as you have shown to your dead and to me.
9 Lai Tas Kungs jums dod, ka jūs dusu atrodat, ikviena sava vīra namā. Un viņa tās skūpstīja. Tad tās pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
May the LORD enable each of you to find rest in the home of your new husband.” And she kissed them as they wept aloud
10 Un tās sacīja uz viņu: mēs gribam tev līdz iet pie taviem ļaudīm.
and said, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”
11 Bet Naēmja sacīja: griežaties atpakaļ manas meitas, kāpēc jums man iet līdz? Vai tad man vēl dēli varētu būt manā klēpī, kas jums varētu būt par vīriem?
But Naomi replied, “Return home, my daughters. Why would you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb to become your husbands?
12 Griežaties atpakaļ, manas meitas, ejat, jo es esmu par vecu, iet pie vīra. Kad es tā sacītu, man vēl ir cerība, un ja man šinī naktī vīrs gadītos, un es dēlus dzemdētu,
Return home, my daughters. Go on, for I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was hope for me to have a husband tonight and to bear sons,
13 Vai tad jūs gaidītu, kamēr tie uzaugtu? Vai tad jūs ieslēgtos un pie vīra neietu? - Ne tā, manas meitas, man iet daudz grūtāki nekā jums, jo Tā Kunga roka pret mani izstiepusies.
would you wait for them to grow up? Would you refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.”
14 Tad tās pacēla savu balsi un raudāja atkal, un Arpa skūpstīja savu vīramāti, bet Rute palika pie viņas.
Again they wept aloud, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.
15 Tad tā sacīja: redzi, tava vīra brāļa sieva griezusies atpakaļ pie saviem ļaudīm un pie sava dieva; griezies arī tu sava vīra brāļa sievai pakaļ.
“Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; follow her back home.”
16 Bet Rute sacīja: nespied mani, tevi atstāt un no tevis aiziet; jo kurp tu iesi, arī es iešu, un kur tu mitīsi, tur arī es mitīšu; tavi ļaudis ir mani ļaudis, un tavs Dievs ir mans Dievs;
But Ruth replied: “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn from following you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you live, I will live; your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.
17 Kur tu mirsi, tur es miršu, un tur gribu tapt aprakta; lai Tas Kungs man šā un tā dara, nāve vien mani un tevi šķirs.
Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD punish me, and ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.”
18 Kad nu viņa redzēja, ka šī bija stipri apņēmusies, viņai iet līdzi, tad viņa mitējās to pārrunāt.
When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped trying to persuade her.
19 Un abas gāja, kamēr nāca uz Bētlemi. Un notikās, kad viņas Bētlemē nonāca, tad visa pilsēta par tām sacēlās, un tās (sievas) sacīja: vai šī nav Naēmja?
So Naomi and Ruth traveled until they came to Bethlehem. When they entered Bethlehem, the whole city was stirred because of them, and the women of the city exclaimed, “Can this be Naomi?”
20 Bet viņa uz tām sacīja: nesauciet mani par Naēmju (jauka), sauciet mani par Māru (rūgta), jo tas Visuvarenais man piesūtījis lielu sirds rūgtumu.
“Do not call me Naomi,” she replied. “Call me Mara, because the Almighty has dealt quite bitterly with me.
21 Pilna es aizgāju, bet tukšai Tas Kungs man licis atpakaļ griezties; kāpēc jūs mani sauksiet Naēmju, kad tomēr Tas Kungs pret mani liecību devis, un tas Visuvarenais mani apbēdinājis?
I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? After all, the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me.”
22 Tā Naēmja griezās atpakaļ, un Rute, tā Moabiešu sieva, viņas vedekla, līdz ar viņu griezās atpakaļ no Moaba, un tās nāca uz Bētlemi ap miežu pļaujamo laiku.
So Naomi returned from the land of Moab with her daughter-in-law Ruth the Moabitess. And they arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
