Ruts 1
1 I de dager da dommerne styrte, blev det engang hungersnød i landet. Da drog en mann med sin hustru og sine to sønner avsted fra Betlehem i Juda for å opholde sig nogen tid i Moabs land.
And it was in [the] days of [the] judging of the judges and it was a famine in the land and he went a man from Beth-lehem Judah to sojourn in [the] region of Moab he and wife his and [the] two sons his.
2 Mannen hette Elimelek, hans hustru No'omi og hans to sønner Mahlon og Kiljon; de var efratitter - fra Betlehem i Juda. De kom nu til Moabs land og blev der.
And [the] name of the man [was] Elimelech and [the] name of wife his [was] Naomi and [the] name of [the] two sons his - [was] Mahlon and Kilion Ephrathites from Beth-lehem Judah and they came [the] region of Moab and they were there.
3 Så døde Elimelek, No'omis mann, og hun blev tilbake med sine to sønner.
And he died Elimelech [the] husband of Naomi and she was left she and [the] two sons her.
4 De tok sig moabittiske hustruer, den ene hette Orpa og den andre Rut; og de bodde der omkring en ti års tid.
And they took for themselves wives Moabite [the] name of the one [was] Orpah and [the] name of the second [was] Ruth and they dwelt there about ten years.
5 Da døde også begge sønnene, Mahlon og Kiljon; og kvinnen var tilbake efter sine to sønner og efter sin mann.
And they died also both of them Mahlon and Kilion and she was left the woman from both children her and from husband her.
6 Da brøt hun op med sine sønnekoner og vendte tilbake fra Moabs land; for hun hadde hørt i Moabs land at Herren hadde sett til sitt folk og gitt dem brød.
And she arose she and daughters-in-law her and she returned from [the] region of Moab if she had heard in [the] region of Moab that he had visited Yahweh people his by giving to them food.
7 Hun drog bort fra det sted hvor hun hadde vært, og begge hennes sønnekoner var med henne. Mens de nu gikk frem efter veien for å vende tilbake til Juda land,
And she went out from the place where she had been there and [the] two daughters-in-law her [were] with her and they went on the way to return to [the] land of Judah.
8 sa No'omi til sine to sønnekoner: Vend om og gå hjem igjen, hver til sin mors hus. Herren vise godhet mot eder, som I har gjort mot de døde og mot mig!
And she said Naomi to [the] two daughters-in-law her go return [each] woman to [the] house of mother her (may he deal *Q(K)*) Yahweh with you covenant loyalty just as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
9 Herren gi eder at I må finne et hjem, hver i sin manns hus! Og hun kysset dem; men de brast i gråt
May he give Yahweh to you and find rest [each] woman [the] house of husband her and she kissed them and they raised voice their and they wept.
10 og sa til henne: Nei, vi vil følge dig tilbake til ditt folk.
And they said to her that with you we will return to people your.
11 Da sa No'omi: Vend om, mine døtre! Hvorfor vil I gå med mig? Har jeg da ennu sønner i mitt liv som kunde bli eders menn?
And she said Naomi go back O daughters my why? will you go with me ¿ still [belong] to me [do] sons in inward parts my and they will become of you husbands.
12 Vend om, mine døtre, og gå hjem! For jeg er for gammel til å bli en manns hustru. Om jeg så tenkte: Jeg har ennu håp, ja, om jeg så ennu inatt fikk en mann og så fødte sønner,
Go back O daughters my go for I am [too] old for belonging to a husband if I said there for me [is] hope also I belonged this night to a husband and also I bore sons.
13 skulde I derfor vente til de blev store? Skulde I derfor stenge eder inne og ikke få eder menn? Nei, mine døtre! For det er meget bitrere for mig enn for eder, eftersom Herrens hånd har rammet mig så hårdt.
¿ Therefore - will you wait until that they will grow up ¿ therefore will you shut yourselves off to not to belong to a husband may not [it be] O daughters my for it is bitter to me very more than you that it has gone forth on me [the] hand of Yahweh.
14 Da brast de atter i gråt. Og Orpa kysset sin svigermor og sa henne farvel, men Rut vilde ikke skilles fra henne.
And they raised voice their and they wept again and she kissed Orpah mother-in-law her and Ruth she clung to her.
15 Da sa hun: Du ser din svigerinne er vendt tilbake til sitt folk og til sin gud; vend nu du og tilbake og følg din svigerinne!
And she said there! she has returned sister-in-law your to people her and to gods her go back after sister-in-law your.
16 Men Rut sa: Søk ikke å overtale mig til å forlate dig og vende tilbake! For dit du går, vil jeg gå, og hvor du blir, vil jeg bli; ditt folk er mitt folk, og din Gud er min Gud;
And she said Ruth may not you entreat me to abandon you to turn back from after you for to where you will go I will go and at where you will lodge I will lodge people your [will be] people my and God your [will be] God my.
17 hvor du dør, vil jeg dø, og der vil jeg begraves. Herren la det gå mig ille både nu og siden om noget annet enn døden skal skille mig fra dig.
At where you will die I will die and there I will be buried thus may he do Yahweh to me and thus may he add if death it will separate between me and between you.
18 Da No'omi så at hun var fast i sitt forsett om å gå med henne, holdt hun op med å tale til henne om det.
And she saw that [was] determined she to go with her and she ceased to speak to her.
19 Så gikk de begge videre til de kom til Betlehem. Og da de kom til Betlehem, kom hele byen i bevegelse for deres skyld, og kvinnene sa: Er dette No'omi?
And they went [the] two of them until came they Beth-lehem and it was when came they Beth-lehem and it was excited all the city on them and they [fem] said ¿ [is] this Naomi.
20 Da sa hun til dem: Kall mig ikke No'omi, kall mig Mara! For den Allmektige har gjort det meget bittert for mig;
And she said to them may not you call me Naomi call me Mara for he has caused bitterness [the] Almighty to me exceedingly.
21 med fulle hender drog jeg bort, men med tomme hender har Herren latt mig vende tilbake. Hvorfor kaller I mig No'omi, når Herren har vidnet imot mig, og den Allmektige har latt det gå mig ille?
I full I went and empty he has brought back me Yahweh why? do you call me Naomi and Yahweh he has testified against me and [the] Almighty he has done harm to me.
22 Så kom da No'omi tilbake med sin sønnekone, moabittinnen Rut - hun var vendt tilbake fra Moabs land; og de kom til Betlehem i begynnelsen av bygghøsten.
And she returned Naomi and Ruth the Moabite [woman] daughter-in-law her [was] with her who returned from [the] region of Moab and they they came Beth-lehem at [the] beginning of [the] harvest of barley.
