Rute 1
1 E succedeu que, nos dias em que os juizes julgavam, houve uma fome na terra: pelo que um homem de Beth-lehem de Judah saiu a peregrinar nos campos de Moab, elle e sua mulher, e seus dois filhos:
And it came to pass, in the days when the Judges administered justice, that there was a famine in the land, —and so a certain man went his way, out of Bethlehem-judah to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 E era o nome d'este homem Elimelech, e o nome de sua mulher Noemi, e os nomes de seus dois filhos Mahon e Chilion, ephrateos, de Beth-lehem de Judah: e vieram aos campos de Moab, e ficaram ali.
And, the name of the man, was Elimelech, and, the name of his wife, Naomi, and, the name of his two sons, Mahlon and Chilion—Ephrathites out of Bethlehem-judah, —so they came into the country of Moab, and remained there.
3 E morreu Elimelech, marido de Noemi: e ficou ella com os seus dois filhos,
And Elimelech, husband of Naomi, died, —and she was left, she and her two sons.
4 Os quaes tomaram para si mulheres moabitas: e era o nome d'uma Orpha, e o nome da outra Ruth; e ficaram ali quasi dez annos.
And they took them wives, of the women of Moab, the name of the one, was Orpah, and, the name of the other, Ruth, —and they dwelt there, about ten years.
5 E morreram tambem ambos, Mahalon e Chilion, ficando assim esta mulher desamparada dos seus dois filhos e de seu marido.
And, they also, both, died, Mahlon and Chilion, —so the woman was bereft of her two sons, and of her husband.
6 Então se levantou ella com as suas noras, e voltou dos campos de Moab: porquanto na terra de Moab ouviu que o Senhor tinha visitado o seu povo. dando-lhe pão.
Then she arose, she and her daughters-in-law, and returned out of the country of Moab, —for she had heard, in the country of Moab, how that Yahweh had visited his people, in giving unto them, bread.
7 Pelo que saiu do logar onde estivera, e as suas duas noras com ella. E, indo ellas caminhando, para voltarem para a terra de Judah,
So she went forth out of the dwelling-place where she had remained, and her two daughters-in-law with her, —and they went on the way, to return unto the land of Judah.
8 Disse Noemi ás suas duas noras: Ide, voltae cada uma á casa de sua mãe; e o Senhor use comvosco de benevolencia, como vós usastes com os defuntos e comigo.
Then said Naomi to her two daughters-in-law: Go return, each one to the house of her mother, —Yahweh deal with you in lovingkindness, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
9 O Senhor vos dê que acheis descanço cada uma em casa de seu marido. E, beijando-as ella, levantaram a sua voz e choraram.
Yahweh grant you, that ye may find a place of rest, each one in the house of her husband, —And she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
10 E disseram-lhe: Certamente voltaremos comtigo ao teu povo.
And they said to her, —With thee, will we return, unto thy people.
11 Porém Noemi disse: Tornae, minhas filhas, porque irieis comigo? tenho eu ainda no meu ventre mais filhos, para que vos fossem por maridos?
Then said Naomi—Go back, my daughters! wherefore should ye journey with me? Have I, yet, sons in my womb, that they should become your, husbands?
12 Tornae, filhas minhas, ide-vos embora, que já mui velha sou para ter marido: ainda quando eu dissesse, Tenho esperança, ou ainda que esta noite tivesse marido e ainda parisse filhos,
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 to-night have a husband, and should, even bear sons,
13 Esperal-os-hieis até que viessem a ser grandes? deter-vos-hieis por elles, sem tomardes marido? não, filhas minhas, que mais amargo me é a mim do que a vós mesmas; porquanto a mão do Senhor se descarregou contra mim.
would ye, therefore, tarry until they were grown? would ye, therefore, shut yourselves up from having husbands? Nay! my daughters, for it is far more bitter for me than for you, that forth hath gone against me, the hand of Yahweh.
14 Então levantaram a sua voz, e tornaram a chorar: e Orpha beijou a sua sogra, porém Ruth se apegou a ella.
And they lifted up their voice and wept, yet more. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in- law, but, Ruth, clave unto her.
15 Pelo que disse: Eis que voltou tua cunhada ao seu povo e aos seus deuses: volta tu tambem após da tua cunhada.
And she said—Lo! thy sister-in-law hath gone back, unto her people, and unto her gods, —go thou back, after thy sister-in-law.
16 Disse porém Ruth: Não me instes para que te deixe, e me torne de detraz de ti; porque aonde quer que tu fores irei eu, e onde quer que pousares á noite ali pousarei eu; o teu povo é o meu povo, o teu Deus é o meu Deus
And Ruth said—Do not urge me to leave thee, to go back from following thee, —for, whither thou goest, I will go, and, where thou lodgest, I will lodge, thy people, shall be my people, and, thy God, my God;
17 Onde quer que morreres morrerei eu, e ali serei sepultada: me faça assim o Senhor, e outro tanto, se outra coisa que não seja a morte me separar de ti.
where thou diest, I will die, and, there, will I be buried: So, let Yahweh do to me, and, so, let him add, if, death itself, part me and thee.
18 Vendo ella, pois, que de todo estava resolvida para ir com ella, deixou de lhe fallar.
And, when she saw that, bravely determined, was she to go with her, she ceased entreating her.
19 Assim pois foram-se ambas, até que chegaram a Beth-lehem: e succedeu que, entrando ellas em Beth-lehem, toda a cidade se commoveu por causa d'ellas, e diziam: Não é esta Noemi?
So, they two, went their way, until they entered Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they entered Bethlehem, that all the city was moved concerning them, and the women said—Is this Naomi?
20 Porém ella lhes dizia: Não me chameis Noemi; chamae-me Mara; porque grande amargura me tem dado o Todo-poderoso.
And she said unto them, Do not call me Naomi ["Sweet"], —call me Mara ["Bitter"], for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me:
21 Cheia parti, porém vazia o Senhor me fez tornar: porque pois me chamareis Noemi? pois o Senhor testifica contra mim, e o Todo-poderoso me tem feito tanto mal.
I was full when I departed, but, empty, am I brought back of Yahweh, —wherefore should ye call me Naomi, when, Yahweh, hath given answer against me, and, the Almighty, hath crushed me?
22 Assim Noemi voltou, e com ella Ruth a moabita, sua nora, que voltou dos campos de Moab: e chegaram a Beth-lehem no principio da sega das cevadas.
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab, —and, they, entered Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
