रूथ 1
1 न्यायकर्ताहरूले शासन गरेको समयमा मुलुकमा अनिकाल पर्यो । यहूदाको बेथलेहेमको एक जना मानिस आफ्नी पत्नी र दुई जना छोराहरूसँग मोआब देशतिर गए ।
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 ती मानिसको नाउँ एलीमेलेक थियो, र तिनकी पत्नीको नाउँ नाओमी थियो । तिनका दुई जना छोराहरूको नाउँ महलोन र किल्योन थियो । तिनीहरू यहूदाको बेथलेहेमका एप्रातीहरू थिए । तिनीहरू मोआब देशमा आइपुगे र त्यहाँ बोसबास गरे ।
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 त्यसपछि नाओमीका पति एलीमेलेक मरे र तिनी आफ्ना दुई छोराहरूसहित छोडिइन् ।
Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4 यी छोराहरूले मोआबका महिलाहरूमध्येबाट पत्नीहरू ल्याए । एउटीको नाउँ ओर्पा र अर्कीको नाउँ रूथ थियो । तिनीहरू त्यहाँ झण्डै दश वर्ष जति बसे ।
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 त्यसपछि नाओमीलाई पति र आफ्ना दुई सन्तानविहीन पारेर महलोन र किल्योन दुवै मरे ।
Mahlon and Kilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
6 त्यसपछि नाओमीले आफ्ना बुहारीहरूसँगै मोआब छोडेर यहूदा फर्कने निर्णय गरिन्, किनभने परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई आवश्यकतामा सहायता गर्नुभएको र तिनीहरूलाई खाने कुरा दिनुभएको कुरा तिनले मोआब प्रदेशमा सुनिन् ।
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 Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread.
7 त्यसैले तिनले आफ्ना दुई बुहारीहरूसँग बस्दै आएको ठाउँ छोडिन् र तिनीहरू यहूदाको मुलुकमा फर्कनलाई बाटो लागे ।
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 नाओमीले आफ्ना दुई बुहारीहरूलाई भनिन्, “तिमीहरू हरेक आ-आफ्नो आमाको घरमा फर्केर जाओ । जसरी तिमीहरूले मृतहरूप्रति र मप्रति दया देखाएका छौ, त्यसरी परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई पनि दया देखाउनुभएको होस् ।
Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May Jehovah deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
9 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरू हरेकलाई अर्को पतिको घरमा विश्राम दिनुभएको होस्, ।” त्यसपछि तिनले तिनीहरूलाई चुम्बन गरिन् र तिनीहरू ठुलो स्वरमा रोए ।
Jehovah 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 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “होइन, हामी तपाईंसँगै तपाईंका मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्कनेछौँ ।”
They said to her, "No, but we will return with you to your people."
11 तर नाओमीले भनिन्, “मेरा छोरीहरू, फर्क! तिमीहरू मसँग किन जान्छौ? के तिमीहरूका पति हुनलाई मेरो कोखमा छोराहरू छन् र?
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 मेरा छोरीहरू, फर्क, आ-आफ्नो बाटो लाग, किनभने पति पाउनलाई म धेरै वृद्ध भइसकेकी छु । यदि मैले, आज राति नै पति पाउँछु भन्ने आशा गर्छु,' भनेँ र छोराहरू जन्माएँ भने पनि,
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 के तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूको उमेर पुगेसम्म पर्खन्छौ? के तिमीहरूले विवाह गर्न एउटा पति चुन्दैनौ र? होइन, मेरा छोरीहरू! यो त तिमीहरूको खातिर मलाई अति नै तीतो हुन्छ, परमप्रभुको हात मेरो विरुद्धमा लागेको छ ।”
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 Jehovah has gone out against me."
14 त्यसपछि तिनका बुहारीहरू ठुलो स्वरमा रोए । ओर्पाले तिनकी सासूलाई बिदाइको चुम्बन गरिन्, तर रूथ तिनीसँगै टाँसिरहिन् ।
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 नाओमीले भनिन्, “सुन, तिम्री बहिनी त आफ्ना मानिसहरू र आफ्ना देवताहरूकहाँ गइन् । तिम्री बहिनीसँगै फर्केर जाऊ ।”
She said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.
16 रूथले भनिन्, “मलाई तपाईंबाट जान नलगाउनुहोस्, किनभने तपाईं जहाँ जानुहुन्छ, म त्यहाँ नै जानेछु; तपाईं जहाँ बस्नुहुन्छ, म त्यहाँ नै बस्नेछु; तपाईंका मानिसहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुनेछन् र तपाईंका परमेश्वर मेरा परमेश्वर हुनुहुनेछ ।
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 तपाईं जहाँ मर्नुहुन्छ, म त्यहाँ नै मर्नेछु, र म त्यहीँ नै गाडिनेछु । यदि मृत्युबाहेक कुनै कुराले हामीलाई अलग गर्छ भने परमप्रभुले मलाई दण्ड दिनुभएको होस् र अझ यो भन्दा धैरै गर्नुभएको होस् ।”
where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me."
18 जब नाओमीले रूथ तिनीसँगै जानलाई दृढ थिइन् भन्ने देखिन्, तिनले तिनीसँग तर्क गर्न छोडिन् ।
When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
19 त्यसैले तिनीहरू बेथलेहेमको नगरसम्म यात्रा गरे । तिनीहरू बेथलेहेममा आइपुग्दा सारा नगर नै तिनीहरूको निम्ति धेरै उत्साहित थियो । माहिलाहरूले भने, “के यिनी नाओमी नै हुन्?”
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 तर तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भनिन्, “मलाई नाओमी नभन । मलाई तितो भन, किनभने सर्वशक्तिमानले मसँग धेरै तिक्ततापूर्ण रूपमा व्यवहार गर्नुभएको छ ।
She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Marah; for Shaddai has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 म पूर्ण भएर गएँ, तर परमप्रभुले मलाई फेरि रित्तो पारेर घरमा ल्याउनुभएको छ । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले मलाई दण्ड दिनुभएको र सर्वशक्तिमानले ममाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनुभएको देखेर पनि तिमीहरूले मलाई किन नाओमी भन्छौ?”
I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since Jehovah has testified against me, and Shaddai has afflicted me?"
22 यसरी तिनि र तिनकी मोआबी बुहारी रूथ मोआब देशबाट फर्के । तिनीहरू बेथलेहेममा जौको कटनी सुरु हुने समयमा आइपुगे ।
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.
