1 न्यायकर्ताहरूले शासन गरेको समयमा मुलुकमा अनिकाल पर्‍यो । यहूदाको बेथलेहेमको एक जना मानिस आफ्नी पत्‍नी र दुई जना छोराहरूसँग मोआब देशतिर गए ।
In the time that the Iudges ruled, there was a dearth in the lande, and a man of Beth-lehem Iudah went for to soiourne in the countrey of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sonnes.
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 ।
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi: and the names of his two sonnes, Mahlon, and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem Iudah: and when they came into the land of Moab, they continued there.
3 त्यसपछि नाओमीका पति एलीमेलेक मरे र तिनी आफ्‍ना दुई छोराहरूसहित छोडिइन् ।
Then Elimelech the husband of Naomi died, and she remayned with her two sonnes,
4 यी छोराहरूले मोआबका महिलाहरूमध्येबाट पत्‍नीहरू ल्याए । एउटीको नाउँ ओर्पा र अर्कीको नाउँ रूथ थियो । तिनीहरू त्यहाँ झण्डै दश वर्ष जति बसे ।
Which tooke them wiues of the Moabites: the ones name was Orpah, and the name of ye other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten yeeres.
5 त्यसपछि नाओमीलाई पति र आफ्ना दुई सन्तानविहीन पारेर महलोन र किल्योन दुवै मरे ।
And Mahlon and Chilion dyed also both twaine: so the woman was left destitute of her two sonnes, 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, and returned from the countrey of Moab: for she had heard say in the countrey of Moab, that the Lord had visited his people, and giuen them bread.
7 त्यसैले तिनले आफ्ना दुई बुहारीहरूसँग बस्दै आएको ठाउँ छोडिन् र तिनीहरू यहूदाको मुलुकमा फर्कनलाई बाटो लागे ।
Wherefore shee departed out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her, and they went on their way to returne vnto the land of Iudah.
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 ।
Then Naomi saide vnto her two daughters in lawe, Goe, returne eche of you vnto her owne mothers house: the Lord shew fauour vnto you, as ye haue done 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 ।
The Lord graunt you, that you may finde rest, either of you in the house of her husband. And when she kissed them, they lift vp their voice and wept.
10 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “होइन, हामी तपाईंसँगै तपाईंका मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्कनेछौँ ।”
And they saide vnto her, Surely we will returne with thee vnto thy people.
11 तर नाओमीले भनिन्, “मेरा छोरीहरू, फर्क! तिमीहरू मसँग किन जान्छौ? के तिमीहरूका पति हुनलाई मेरो कोखमा छोराहरू छन् र?
But Naomi saide, Turne againe, my daughters: for what cause will you go with me? are there any more sonnes in my wombe, that they may bee 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,
Turne againe, my daughters: go your way: for I am too olde to haue an husband. If I should say, I haue hope, and if I had an husband this night: yea, if I had borne sonnes,
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 yee tarie for them, till they were of age? would ye be deferred for them from taking of husbands? nay my daughters: for it grieueth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
14 त्यसपछि तिनका बुहारीहरू ठुलो स्वरमा रोए । ओर्पाले तिनकी सासूलाई बिदाइको चुम्बन गरिन्, तर रूथ तिनीसँगै टाँसिरहिन् ।
Then they lift vp their voyce and wept againe, and Orpah kissed her mother in lawe, but Ruth abode still with her.
15 नाओमीले भनिन्, “सुन, तिम्री बहिनी त आफ्ना मानिसहरू र आफ्ना देवताहरूकहाँ गइन् । तिम्री बहिनीसँगै फर्केर जाऊ ।”
And Naomi said, Beholde, thy sister in law is gone backe vnto her people and vnto her gods: returne thou after thy sister in lawe.
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 ।
And Ruth answered, Intreate mee not to leaue thee, nor to depart from thee: for whither thou goest, I will goe: and where thou dwellest, I will dwell: thy people shall be my people, and thy 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 thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried. the Lord do so to me and more also, if ought but death depart thee and me.
18 जब नाओमीले रूथ तिनीसँगै जानलाई दृढ थिइन् भन्‍ने देखिन्, तिनले तिनीसँग तर्क गर्न छोडिन् ।
Whe she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left speaking vnto 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 went both vntill they came to Beth-lehem: and when they were come to Beth-lehem, it was noysed of them through all the citie, and they said, Is not this Naomi?
20 तर तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भनिन्, “मलाई नाओमी नभन । मलाई तितो भन, किनभने सर्वशक्तिमानले मसँग धेरै तिक्‍ततापूर्ण रूपमा व्यवहार गर्नुभएको छ ।
And she answered them, Call me not Naomi, but call me Mara: for the Almightie hath giuen me much bitternes.
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 the Lord hath caused me to returne emptie: why call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath humbled me, and the Almightie hath brought me vnto aduersitie?
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 Moabitesse her daughter in law with her, when she came out of the countrey of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barly haruest.
